4.5. FORUM POST and BLOG COMMENTING:
This is really a simple way to get into Affiliate Marketing Business. All you have to do is find a related product you would like to promote and then find the related blogs and forums.
Forums do require account registration, but most blogs won’t need it. The forum has the signature, and so you can use this as an advantage for your Affiliate Product Promotion.
Simply add your affiliate URL to the forum signature and save it.
When you ask me, Is that OK? I will say NO.
Because, you need viewers to see your signatures so be active in the forum, post a new thread, reply to other threads, etc. On every post, new or reply, your signature will be placed.
The other people in the forum, reading your thread may interest in your signature and buy the product.

4.6. WRITE AN E-BOOK:
This could be time-consuming but a pure successful method of Affiliate Marketing Business. Write an E-book of 5 – 10pages or more about a topic that you know was expertise in.
Don’t forget that, the topic should be trending and most welcoming among the group of people.
Now, add your affiliate products in between the contents or the end of the book as a recommendation for the readers to try.

4.7. CLASSIFIED SITES:
You know probably about classified websites where people can post their ads for sale, services or anything and others can view the ad. If they like, they may contact the advertiser.
You can use this tech to promote affiliate products. Register a free account with the sites listed below and create a profile.
Then, write a review about the product you are interested in and promote here. Just click ‘post an ad’ option and follow the rest guiding the process by the site to post your ads successfully.
Not all of your posts will be published because to maintain site quality, your ads will be moderated and if they respect those sites Terms of service your ad will be published or else it will be placed under the ‘unpublish’ section.
You will be notified via Email about your ad status.
Sites recommended registering: OLX, Craigslist, Quikr, Locanto, etc.
4.8. PAY PER CLICK CAMPAIGN:
This is the final last method of Affiliate Marketing Strategy and it’s not much recommended. This method involves creating a pay-per-click campaign through Gooogle AdWords, Yahoo Bing, etc.
You need to invest money to get your ads live through different online platforms.
It’s not advisable because you may face a loss of money that you earn? But I would recommend you to use your own website or blog, instead of using PPC.
First, you can able to create only one ad campaign per advertising product or website at any given time. So, this becomes a tough competition and requires you to invest huge money in the first spot.
Don’t know even the first spot will get you the required conversion.
Second, you don’t have control over the quality of the advertising page because search engines randomly pick the page and post your offer. If the advertising page has good content and knowledge audience, they can buy your products or services, else you end up paying a much higher advertising fee for nothing.
Third, this requires an advanced calculating technique before starting. So, it is advised only to experts and techies and not for newbies.
But other methods are free and liberal, you can use any one of the above-suggested methods of Affiliate Product Promotion.
Last thoughts,
Hence, At last in this article, I have shared my own researched data and information about different methods to start Affiliate Marketing Business.
Yes, even many different methods are available but when you ask for which method brings the most success was blogging. Particularly, Niche Blogging brings more success than a general blog.
Easy Online Home Jobs was categorized as General Blog because we give ideas, tips, start-up guides, promotional tutorials on Affiliate Marketing Business.
But, Niche Blogging was created only for the purpose of that particular product review, testimonials, etc. where you can get a higher conversion ratio.
In my upcoming article, I will cover much more information about this marketing business.

I started doing this years back, but it did not really bring in much leads. Maybe occasional clicks on my Google Ads, that’s all.
Initially I wanted to make this my money making site, but now I’m just treating it as a hobby to pass time.
