1. Make sure you choose an Affiliate Program which is related to your blog.  For example, if you blog about the latest trends in technology and stuff, then choose an Affiliate Program whose products you wish to market are related to it, like the latest gadgets in the world.
2. When you are into Affiliate Marketing, with or without a blog, one thing you need to keep in mind is that, you need to market products which you trust and is even better if you have used it yourself.  By doing this, you are not only recommending your readers to buy a good product, but building a bond with your readers, a bond made of trust and sincerity.
3. One of the most important rules you need to follow is to keep blogging.  Once you start earning money with the Affiliate Marketing, you shouldn’t lose interest with your daily blog posts and updates.  You need to continue doing them side by side.  Only then the traffic flow will be consistent.  Else, once the readers figure out your intentions, the numbers will drop real quick.
4. Let the readers know what you are doing.  Let them not be left shocked to see themselves landed in some unknown website by clicking one of the links from your blog.  Most readers, do not realize that they will be redirected to a different website altogether by clicking the affiliate link if not warned.  After they click and realize that the product is no good for them, there are very less chances that they will return to your blog.  To avoid, make sure you put a small note saying what the link is meant for.  By doing this, only the interested readers will click on the link, which avoids all the unnecessary confusions.
5. Keeping readers posted about your blog is very essential, and this can be achieved via the social networking sites such as facebook, twitter and many more.  This will help you keep your readers up to date with your blog, and the frequency of their visits to your blog will definitely improve day by day.  This creates more chances of your readers to click on your affiliate program links.
6. Finally, the placement of your links on your website is very crucial.  If it is in the wrong place it could go unnoticed or even end up frustrating the reader by coming in the way of the content.  So make a wise decision about where you can place the affiliate link.  One position which has worked for thousands of people around the globe is after the blog post and just before the comments.  This will definitely not go unnoticed, nor will it frustrate the reader because he/she would have already finished reading the post.

As you can see, all of the above are not very difficult tasks, they are just a bit more than what you are already doing with your blog.  When the rewards are promising, why not go that extra mile.
