If you are a blogger and are wondering how you can make money on your blog, consider affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is a great way to make an income on your blog. It’s my top source on income at this time. Check out the programs below to find the best affiliate programs for bloggers.

While I have more tips I could share on affiliate marketing, I will just stress this one tiny (but important!) tip here: Make sure the affiliate program is a match for your blog and your readers! The closer the match, the better the success.

While I pick some products because of their affiliate program, MailChimp is not one of them! I use them for reasons other than their affiliate program.)
Short Pixel – This plugin is used to compress and optimize image sizes. This plug-in will help your SEO’s ranking. (There is a free version but you can pay a small amount to have all your past images optimized. I paid under $10 to have my entire site optimized.).
