One of my goals this year is to improve my blog SEO and overall connection with followers. I’ve been blogging for 13 years with a few different domains and I still don’t know exactly what I am doing when it comes to SEO, which would explain why my traffic is still so low after all of these years. That is why I decided to participate in a 30-day challenge and read a copy of Traffic Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Filling Your Websites and Funnels with Your Dream Customers by Russell Brunson. I am learning key strategies that will hopefully increase my site traffic by completing the 30-day challenge.

The thing with blogging is that once you think you have it figured out, something is always changing and evolving, and it’s a never-ending cycle to keep on learning.

10 Influencer Sites to Join for Bloggers

10 Influencer Sites to Join for Bloggers

 

If you have a blog, you can make money! That doesn’t mean you have to be on par with the top dogs in the blogosphere to get sponsored post opportunities, you can be small, or even brand new, but numbers do help in the decision process of being chosen. Work on growing your social network followers, improving your stats, and connect and make friends with fellow bloggers. Remember, we’re not here to compete with each other, we’re here to help each other.

I have compiled a list of reputable websites that I am a member of and have worked with in the past and present to help get you started in the right direction to making money on your blog. Take into consideration though, that becoming a member doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you’ll get in on every blogging opportunity you sign up for, so you’ll need to take some necessary steps to increase your chances of being chosen.

The One Affiliate Program Bloggers Need to Join

The One Affiliate Program Bloggers Need to Join

When I first joined ShareASale, I really didn’t do anything with it because the whole platform was confusing to me at the time. Now that I have a little blogging experience under my belt and have worked with other affiliate companies, I kind of figured out where I should be finding links, and how to apply with the companies I wanted to promote.

I discovered that some of the companies and brands that are readily available on the platform offer incentives for working with them. For instance, they’ll pay you a certain amount to promote their current sales/deals on social networking sites and through blog posts. Some of their blog posts are pre-written and will be attached to the email for easy copy and paste. Just be sure to add a little bit to the post to help out your SEO since you don’t want the same exact blog post that someone else posted. Google doesn’t like that!

Make sure you have applied to ShareASale if you’re not already a member, and once approved, make sure to join the companies listed below.

These are some companies on ShareASale that pay you to promote with blog posts and give you affiliate referral bonuses to refer other bloggers to join with them.

After I joined these programs and shared a few posts, I am now sitting at a total of $332.50 earned overall. Not bad for very little work in my opinion. You’ll also need to earn $50 in order to be paid each month, but you can set this higher if you wish to wait for a big chunk. I know I don’t care to wait since every little bit of money helps out NOW.
