Affiliate Marketing Programs for Bloggers
Starting a new blog or business can take a lot of work. There are many programs out there that promise big monthly income. This is possible, absolutely. To be realistic it does no just happen overnight. It takes some hard work as well as investment of time and money. The best way to start monetizing your blog or even your business through you website is with affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is when I company pays you to send traffic their way and you get paid for either traffic or sales or both. Most programs I have found are free to sign up.
The biggest rule of thumb is to find programs that really fit you message and what you are trying to promote. These are some of the best affiliate marketing programs to start incorporating into your blog!

Tailwind is a must for any blogger and great to recommend to others. You should be using it yourself if you are not already.

You can also use tailwind to schedule your instagram posts which can come in handy as well for planning a head and not having to always do it manually.

6. Tripnado
I love this one because I am a traveler. It is an especially good affiliate program because you not only can save on travel but help others too and make money at the same time. Even if you are not in the travel field this is a great website to even just refer to friends and family because everyone saves.

7. Amazon
Amazon associates or influencer program is great for any type of blogger. You can recommend products throughout your posts and create links to embed within those posts. If your audience uses your link to make a purchase you get a commission. It is as easy as that. As bloggers we are bound to recommend some sort of products at some point, might as well get some payment for it.
