Affiliate marketing is one of my favorite monetizing methods because it can feel quite passive over time when your blog is set up correctly along with the right type of content published to an audience that is interested in what you have to say.
I won’t say that making money with affiliate marketing is 100% passive because it does require a lot of upfront work, especially when you’re a total beginner. Just like any other form of passive income ideas, nothing is ever fully “passive.” For example, saving money and socking that away into your investment account will require hard work at the beginning to build your army of minions and watch that income grow over the years.
I’ve been blogging for 7 years, and affiliate marketing has always been my main source of blog income. Today, 80% to 90% of my online income comes from affiliate marketing!
For beginners, no matter how new or small a blog, anyone can start earning with affiliate marketing.
Of course, you will need some traffic for affiliate marketing to work, but you DON’T need to wait until you have 50,000 monthly page views to start earning your first affiliate income!
I personally started affiliate marketing when I was getting around 18,000 to 20,000 monthly page views and I REALLY wish I had started a little sooner. Based on my experience, I now realize that your success in affiliate marketing really depends on the quality of your traffic!
