Blogging is a simple and free way to get exposure as an affiliate marketer. It is simple to do and it only takes a little of your time to set up and maintain. Just Google search "free blogs" to choose a free blog site and get started.
My recommendation is to choose a professional look for your blog. Do not choose a wild and weird template as this will turn away prospective traffic from your blog. Do not go with crazy color schemes either for the same reason. Though it may be fine for personal blogging, if your lay out does not look professional, it will not promote any sales. You can usually preview your template, so try several layouts to find the "look" that is right for you. You can always edit the template and layout later if you decide you don't like it.
In your profile area, promote yourself and your home business. Do not go over the top with self promotion, it can turn away traffic! Just keep it real as if you were talking to someone or introducing yourself to a new person. Posting a picture or two of yourself adds a personal touch which gives your blog an overall good look. Again, keep the pictures professional! Your advertising products not a call service!
I've seen affiliate blogs where they have chosen the wrong types of pictures and it looks really bad. Your blog will look ghetto if you do that. You will not build good reputation or professional sales image. Nobody will buy anything from you, but you will get personal emails from prospects who are interested in something else.
So keep all of that to the dating site you joined, OK? You can add a widget to create extra streams of income from your site visitors. You can also use Google AdSense if you have a Google blog. The AdSense is just like a widget. The AdSense content is directly related to your post content. For example if you are promoting pet products, the AdSense field will also show pet related ads which you can earn income from. You can usually choose the color schemes for your widget or AdSense to compliment with your blog colors so that the ad doesn't look bad. I hope this has given you a good guideline for setting up a blog. If you have not tried blogging give it a try and see what it can do for you today!
