How to Become an Affiliate Blogger Using WordPress Websites
Author: Dave Joa
If you want to become an affiliate or you already are an affiliate marketer then you can now also easily become an Affiliate Blogger! All you need is WordPress to build your web sites and you are all set.
WordPress is the de facto standard and ultimate software for bloggers and has been for some time. If you want a blog to become any sort of blogger then WordPress is the blogging platform you should use.
If you are not an affiliate and you aren't too interested in making money online then you can get free blogs at WordPress.com. These are really easy to sign-up for and you will get started posting your content in no time at all. The learning curve is short even for the technically challenged. Using WordPress is easy!
However, if you do want to make money online as an affiliate marketer then do not use the free blogs at WordPress.com to do this. The reason is that affiliate links in these free blogs are frowned upon and if you are caught using them in these free blogs your blog will be deleted and your account terminated.
And if you have several blogs they will use your IP address to find and delete any other free blogs or accounts you may have too! This is definitely not the way to become and affiliate blogger.
If you want to do affiliate marketing with WordPress web sites then you have to use a self-hosted WordPress site. This means you have to install the free WordPress software onto your own domain name website at your web host. In most cases, especially if your web hosts uses cPanel and Fantastico, this is very easy to do.
Once you have done this you have a very powerful affiliate marketing tool at your disposal. Google and the other search engines too, love blogs and WordPress in particular. Being an affiliate blogger can have great advantages over traditional HTML websites.
Even though you will not be using the software just for blogging, as you will probably want to set up individual landing pages or review pages for the product you want to promote, the blogging part of the software (ie the posts) means it is very easy to add fresh content to your site whenever you want.
WordPress is great also for site promotion as it has in-built RSS feeds, which are automatically pinged to let many important web sites and aggregators know that you have fresh content, so that a new post can often be indexed in Google in just a few minutes! Any affiliate blogger will recognize this as being a major benefit.
With each post you can also tag your content and categorize it, which again is great for search engine optimization. There are also many plugins which you can use to really make a big improvement to on-page and on-site SEO. Using such plugins correctly can significantly enhance your site's rankings in the search engines.
One of the fun parts of any WordPress site is that you can easily completely change the look and feel of your website simply by using a single click of your mouse to select a new theme. And of course if you are into programming you can customize your theme even more to make it just the way you want.
There are also now a lot of plugins that you can get, some for free, which allow you to create online stores or embedded product listings within your site using affiliate datafeed from top sites, such as Amazon or Ebay, and using datafeeds from merchants at the top affiliate networks like Commission Junction and ClickBank.
So whatever your needs as an affiliate then become a blogger with WordPress and make some real money online!

It is a very simple process once you’re familiar with the steps.
The down side is learning how to get traffic to your site…that is one reason I like blogger (Google owns them)…it takes quite awhile to generate enough traffic to become profitable.

What does it mean to become an affiliate of a website or product?
I was on the cingular website and a saw a link at the bottom where it I can become an affiliate of cingular for free…..what does this mean?
What exactly do you want to promote is the question you should be asking yourself. That is the start in deciding which affiliate programs you should be looking at.
Once you’ve decided what market you want to promote for, its time to do research. Research is very important when picking out affiliate programs your going to be apart of because as there are many legit affiliate programs out on the web, there are spam and fraud programs as well. Look into the program before signing up for anything.
*ADVICE! Most affiliate programs are free to join and does not ask for your credit card to join. Those are definitely SCAMS so be aware!
Affiliate marketing has a huge web community that can give you pointers on how to market merchandisers products, what needs to be done and what you need to learn to do it correctly to make the money.
There are also sites that bring the affiliate programs to you. you pick and choose from that site and start marketing. But these sites take a bit of our commission since they provided you with the information about the program. But listed affiliate programs on these sites are legit.
Some sites that can help you is WarriorForum, Shareasale etc. Check these out and google them. Google search affiliate program directories and you would get a list of sources. Good luck!
