Making money from
your blog with Commission Junction
If you want to make money from your website or blog, signing
up to an affiliate network like Commission Junction should be your first port
of call. Blogger Bitches explained the concept of affiliate marketing in a
previous post – essentially, it’s a method of promoting brands through your
website on cookied links so that you can earn a commission on any sale that
happens as a result of a click from your site – but we wanted to give you a bit
of insight into what an affiliate network like us does to make this happen.
The affiliate industry is a big business. There are
currently around 4,000 brands in the space working with over 10,000 publishers
(an industry term for bloggers or website owners that publish ads or
promotional links online) to drive sales on the net. With volumes like this,
it’s clear that you need a good middleman to facilitate the process. This is
where the affiliate network comes in.
Networks wear a lot of different hats. At our core, we
provide the ‘science bit’ using our own technology to generate links that will
remember where a click came from and where it was driving traffic to, matching
that information up when sales are generate for a brand. We host creative for
clients giving you access to a range of banners and product feeds that allow
you to promote specific products or to align your content with existing brand
campaigns. We also provide an interface that allows you to track your
performance, seeing how many clicks on your site have generated sales and how
much money you’re making from the activity. And most importantly, we make sure
you get paid, depositing commissions from clients directly into a designated
bank account.
A good affiliate network will also be great at
relationships, actively looking to partner publisher websites with brands that
complement one another’s audiences, whilst keeping you in the loop with the
latest offers from your advertisers.
There are a number of Networks in the frame, so why partner
with CJ? Well, we are a global affiliate network, so you only need one account
with us to promote brands world-wide. We embrace all types of publisher models,
from content to cashback, and have a dedicated publisher team to offer help and
guidance to those who are new to the market. We also have a toolbox that
publishers can use, so you don’t have to worry about creating all the savvy
bits by yourself. This toolbox includes dynamic banners, video creative,
bespoke product feeds, and deep-linking functionality to allow you to create
links that go straight to the products you’re writing about.
We work with hundreds of well-known brands in a variety of
sectors from Argos in the retail sector, to Gap and Banana Republic in fashion,
and Thompson in travel to name but a few. Whatever your website is about,
there’s a good chance that you can partner with us to make money from something
you’re already doing.
