[Advice Needed] Just got into Affiliate Marketing - How to Promote it and Drive Traffic?
So, after tons of reading and researching I decided I should try some affiliate marketing as a means of some side income.
As it is my first affiliate website I am not interested in getting rich or anything extreme, but I would be more than happy to get some side income, even $100-$200 max per month would suffice.
I know it takes a lot of hard work and I am familiar with online marketing with SEO (I run a moderately decent-traffic blog and I am learning)
The thing is that with affiliate marketing I find it kinda difficult to promote my content and drive traffic and I would love to hear some suggestions from you.
A few info:
It's only amazon affiliate based, later on if it goes well I might look into CJ, clickbank or other but for now I want to keep it simple from one source,I don't care so much about commissions but more about learning and getting into it.
Let's say my niche is "kitchen sinks". I write reviews about all the best seller kitchen sinks from amazon with proper SEO and I also write articles about kitchen sinks in the blog section. Things like: "What to be aware before buying a kitchen sink" or "The 5 most important things to look for in a kitchen sink", etc. etc. you catch my drift, all the standard content output when you want to promote your niche website.
But then what? I find it hard to promote this kind of content. When I write reviews and content about products like kitchen sinks or whatever, where can I promote this? With my personal blog it's much easier, I write articles about business. career tips, branding etc. and there are several online groups and communities that I can contribute my vsaluable content.
There aren't online communities that like exchange ideas about products unless it's like for electronics (laptops, smartphones, etc - niches which I didn't want to get into since the competition is much harder)
So, I have a great site, good content, but how the hell can I drive some traffic to my site?
I don't want to put any money on adwords or other paid advertisement.
What would you suggest? Any ideas? is paid advertisement the only way? I am really over my budget unfortunately.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
