Blogging on Niume to make sales
No matter what niche you are blogging about , the articles you write on...
Niume can help you make some cash as you learn you writing craft.
Niume blog posts do not require you to lower your standards or become a salesman. Instead they offer a new type of assistance to your readers to get to know your writing style and give you the opportunity to turn a bit of extra profit.
So, take a look at Niume, and join them for free. If you use this link, you will be paid $1 as an incentive when you had signed up and posted a five line post with a free related picture from www.pixabay.com
Are you blogging to make sales, or just getting started? Either way, give Niume.com a try
Resources page
A resources page is a critical page to have on your website, and it’s proven to be extremely profitable. If you want to make affiliate sales, just ask Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income (SPI) how he does it.
Pat openly shares that his Resources page is his number one source of affiliate income (and have you seen this guy’s income reports?).
Here on Make a Living Writing, Carol Tice calls her resource page “Products I Love” in the navigation bar and lists the top products, services and books to help authors earn an income. I too have benefited well by having my own list of resources for authors, which has accounted for over 60% of my affiliate sales.
Just be sure to list products and services you truly have used and recommend. (Note: Obviously, a resources page is different than a blog post. But you can blog about the products and services you use featured on your resources page, and update this page from time to time as another way to make affiliate sales.)
Last, but certainly not least, is Medium, the recently popular blogging platform/media site. They have a ton of people publishing posts on their site every day — which is a lot of content for the average person to filter through. To help bring great content to the surface, Medium uses a weekly email newsletter. And after I open this newsletter every week, I end up going to visit several Medium posts without fail. Mission accomplished for Medium, right?
Favorite books
If you can’t think of any product or service, you can always create a list of books as a post too. No matter what genre or niche you write in, there is an applicable set of books you can talk about.
It could be a giant themed list like Stephen King’s 96 Books for Aspiring Writers, or it could be a list of technical books like Military Flight Tests did with their AFOQT Study Guides. Whether you write about technical or creative, there will always be applicable books out there for you to talk about.
Bonus Tip: An Amazon Affiliate link to a book doesn’t sound like it makes much money. However, you get a percentage of anything that person buys on Amazon within 24 hours of clicking your link.
Product comparison
In addition to reviewing individual products, people also love comparison reviews. Personally, these are my favorite, because those who are interested in reading a comparison review are usually ready to buy, but aren’t sure which one.
By creating the article that helps to sway them towards one, you have the best chance of getting that final affiliate commission.
My most successful article was a comparison post on Aweber, Mailchimp , and GetResponse. Laying out the different email services, it’s easy for my readers to see how they compare.
Bonus Tip: Creating charts for comparison posts is a big plus. You can either design one as a picture or use a special wordpress plugin.
PRODUCT REVIEW
If you are using a product or service that you honestly believe, would benefit your reader, then write about your experience with it. You are in the business of building trust, so, you had better guide them, for or against any products you deem necessary.
Your post should include an in-depth review, as I am showing in this article, of at least one paid product or course, like Jeff Goins did when he discovered Scrivener and dropped Word of it.
Or, you can create a negative review of a product like Ana Hoffman did with her Empower Network review. Granted a negative review, won’t help you make affiliate sales directly, but it sure does build a whole lot of goodwill and trust. That way, the next time you review a product, your readers will be waiting for your honest verdict.

The Best Types of Blog Posts to Make Affiliate Sales
When I first started writing online, back in 2008, I spent tons of time creating content I believed self-publishers needed to read in order to increase their book sales. I wanted to provide useful content, build an audience, and make affiliate sales.
I got some traffic, but the truth was, that wasn’t converting into income.
Starting my website wasn’t just about helping the industry, it was also to earn a little extra money, eventually making passive income so as to support my writing habit.
But it wasn’t until I started creating the following five post types that I saw real, return on my writing efforts. This isn’t to say I then stopped providing excellent content – on the contrary. I instead, provided a different type of value that returned value to me as well.
If you want to make affiliate sales, these five post types can be added to any kind of topic, not just one on book marketing. So, please check them out and start thinking about how you can create the sort of content that not only provides for your readers but also offers natural ways to increase your bottom line.
List of tools or services
Every industry has some tools or services that can help their readers.
It is your job to be a kind of savior to your reader, the absolute, real deal, you need to help them fully understand what they will be facing out there, and give guidance on where their money will be best spent.
Janice Hardy recently did a straightforward list of best tools for indie authors. While Nick Loper of Side Hustle Nation compiled a list of top black Friday deals for his readers.
Both provide value and yet offer an opportunity to make affiliate sales in the end.
