I'm looking at monetizing my site and I've been doing a lot of research into ad affiliate networks, and I was wondering if the value of ads (from affiliates, not sponsors and such) increases based on your traffic, or if you just make more in the end because you can sell more? I was also looking at starting a new site and was wondering if you can monetize from the very beginning or if it needs to be already getting steady traffic? Thanks.
I guess it depends, with affiliate marketing you can earn more if your conversions are high. You can refer a friend to an affiliate service and earn $175 if they buy. Affiliate marketing depends more on sales and marketing techniques than traffic. Affiliate marketing is a great way to earn money online because to don't have to spend time, effort, and energy into developing products and promoting websites. If you find the right program, you can promote other quality sites and services and earn high commissions based on your signups/referrals. I've worked with many affiliate programs in the past, but one of the best that I have found so far is the MoreNiche network. They have many quality products for you to promote, and they also provide free tools, ebooks, guides, articles, site templates, and many other promotional resources to all of their affiliates. If you're interested, check out MoreNiche.com or use my referral link in my signature and get up to $45 in signup bonuses! I definately recommend them. Good luck and I wish you much success on your road to financial freedom through the power of the internet!
