Hi everyone, I wanted to share some tips on how to earn more in 2012. 1. Trial and error, test market specific ads and keep the ones that convert. This could take 4 to 6 months but it's a great way to test what will and will not sell on your blog. 2. Research your blogging audience. Try and pick affiliate products that meet your readers market. Make sure you pick products that they will be interested in purchasing. For example if you blog about blogging make sure to have affiliate programs for themes, templates, modules and plugins like comment luv. 3. Don't overdue the ad space. Pick a few select ads to run and do not over crowd the area with Google ads and others. Make sure to set aside specific relater to market and promote your affiliates. You do not want one ads out shining the others. Make it work by using fewer ads. 4. I know it sounds odd but producing consistent and quality content will lead to more ad sales. Give people reason to visit your blog. This is so important. Write exciting articles about your affiliate products and include affiliate links with in the articles content. 5. Drive traffic, SEO optimize your blog, submit your content to Blog Engage, blokube, Digg, BlogInteract and get your content seen and in front of other bloggers. It's so important to drive traffic as you know without traffic you have no sales. I hope you enjoyed the list, feel free to post other ideas I would love to hear them.
Very good, concise advice! I would also add to keep working in one area. Don't get distracted by the next "new, shiny object" idea that comes along. Persistence and hard work generally are the keys to success.

Agreed. When you have like 50 projects going on at once, you'll just end up half assing them and end up wasting your time and make no money at all. Focusing on one project is a great tip.
Don't forget the #1 aspect that is first amongst all before beginning any of these processes. I will write it in caps since it is over looked and barely mentioned. - OVERALL MENTAL MINDSET - You cannot begin any of the above tips with a positive, determined and well focused mindset. This is where it all begins. This is what sets apart the super affiliates aside from the smaller affiliates. Large earning affiliates are highly motivated, determined and focused and NEVER EVER GIVE UP and have well thought out plans of execution for their campaigns/business. So this is where it starts - MENTAL MINDSET - I could go on to write for hours about this topic and motivation which is rarely spoken about. Go ahead and start researching the web now for the best informational packs on gearing your mental mindset in the right direction to be able to prosper in ANY endeavor you stumble upon. AND PLEASE PEOPLE - you will fail, but failure equals learning and leads to one step closer to success so NEVER GIVE UP.. Write on a big piece of paper and place in your home offices that says " FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION - GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION - Prosperous Regards To ALL Happy New Year
Take the time to add content that is relevant to the readers even if not pitching a product or service. So many only write on specific products, but writing relevant related articles, just for the sake of connecting with your readers is important and oftentimes missed by those that do not take the time to do anything they do not believe will return a sale.
