Problem With Affiliate Programs

Have you ever stopped to think, “What’s the Problem with the Affiliate Programs that do not work on your blog?”.
Yes, indeed, it is not you making money with it, surely it must have some problem with it, do you think?
“First let us understand the Cause!”
Many times you put a banner of an affiliate program on the blog, now counting and calculating how many visits and possible clicks will receive next week, but just go 3 days without clicks that banner soon to get it resolved and worse, some people still prefer to leave saying that “This Affiliate Program does not work, that does not pay, that is not good, and this and that … etc .… ”
“The First Problem!”
In doing so, we are making a big mistake, because not even try to understand why this affiliate program did not work on the blog and soon gave up rather than try a little more!
Yes, we all need money to pay bills that often has days and until the right time to get to the post office box, puts, but what affiliate programs have to do with it?
Nothing, absolutely nothing! You need to understand that if an affiliate program does not work in your blog, perhaps because of being so focused on money, they end up forgetting to ask,
“Who will care about that Affiliate Program?”
This is the perfect question to ask before placing any banner on the side of the blog, just because someone ever told that this was good!
From this answer, you will know if the public has access to your blog that may or may not be interested in the banner, and if not, better not put the banner on the blog!
Like many people complain that Google Adsense does not work and so many other affiliate programs out there, those people also have that bill very well even with this affiliate program!
The difference is that whoever is making good money with a particular affiliate program, hardly says anything about because it prefers to stay quietly and billing, as opposed to whom evil is done, soon decides to talk to everyone around!
Given this, can you tell me something like, “they gain a lot because it has many hits on the blog, and I will definitely say that not only bring money to visit the blog, stop believing that just because you have 1000 visits per day will be sure to make good money with this, because not always “many visits“and”money blog“in that statement go together!
Simply be better to have 10 visitors who are really interested in the affiliate program, than to have 1,000 visitors with no interest.
Often, their own expectations end up being its single biggest enemy!
So what’s the Exit?
Try to think always in your visitors, “who is your visitor, “what he likes, “what are their habits, “what can be good for him, “well, you need to know it and from that, conditions have thinking about what kind of affiliate program may not work on your blog!
Stop thinking only of “more visitors = more money“because this can often be called”fool’s gold in the world of blogs, “because there are many factors in there own way as the percentage of ad clicks, type of public target segment and the subject of articles in short, there are many things in between that may or may not be favorable to you finally can make money with affiliate programs!
Therefore, always try to think about the people and visitors, the rest is rest, including money that may or may not gain from this that baner to your blog today but remember, the first ever people and visitors, and then … then comes all the rest!
I agree. That’s the reason why we should concentrate more on quality traffic over quantity. I often see people judge a website or blog by it’s alexa rank which somewhat talks about the traffic. This might not be fully wrong but the sales or money made from the blog is what should rate the success of the blog or website and not just it’s no. of visitors.
even a blog with no much traffic can make money from affiliate marketing. As my blog is new and that’s the second month of professional blogging and i’m making around $300 from affilaite marketing (don’t have to much traffic)??
