Monetize your Hubs and Blogs, with ShareASale

78

By Faybe Bay

I Have Exciting News!

ShareASale.com is probably one of the best things that has happened to me since I started with Hub Pages. I have been trying the Google Adsense tools and the Amazon Affiliate link capsules, and while I will not knock these proven examples of passive income tools, affiliate marketing just got easier with ShareASale!

First I will introduce you to the site, then a unique hubber who has worked out a complete hub on how to use ShareASale.

Joining Hub Pages was probably the number one thing to save my sanity (although you may question whether there was any sanity to be saved). I have made new friends and learned so much about writing and the Internet, in the 3 short months since finding Hub Pages. Having said that, I am not savvy like some around here. I am joining "Social Networking" sites, with no clue how to use them, or what good it may do me, seeing as the only people I meet there, I already know here! ShareASale is different. It isn't like ClickBank, where you have to decide what to sell, then look up words in Google, then keyword your URL... If you all know what I just said, you are way ahead of me!

I know my URL must be made up of the words someone might search for. Good luck! Knowing isn't necessarily enough!. I suppose that many people who write for on line publication do so in a formatted program on their computer, and then start a hub, having figured out what keywords to use, and therefore have a good title and URL. I am not that writer.

I set up my hub, then write in the capsules. It may be unprofessional, but I don't own any document program on my computer. I have about 4 more uses left on my word program. I can't afford to buy any programs, and the ones I have bought in the past went with the computers that also died there.

In all of this, ShareASale comes out a savior, and I will tell you why. You go to the site and sign up for free. My hub was about quitting smoking. I put that in and get "Quitsmoking.com" I sign up, and make my links and put them in my hub. Done! If I want to know how to monetize it further (by asking for more keywords) I don't have to google search those words, just enter my keywords on my ShareASale.com page then choose a merchant to promote. Done!

On ShareASale's blog page, and many other sites as well, you will see a "tag" cloud. Imagine that these top sites have already done their homework on keyword research. This means that if you use the keywords in their cloud for your blog post or hub, you are half way through the battle of keyword research. Of course not every word is a winner, but if you use theirs in your Google Adwords search, you can quickly choose the right ones.

ShareASale on Meeting their Customers

But Wait! There's More!

Perhaps you are also a merchant, or know a merchant, who might benefit with some on-line help, driving traffic to a web-site is an affordable option with ShareASale.com! Clicking that link will take you to the merchant sign-up page. Please understand that this can work for you in more ways than one! Perhaps you know someone with a product or service to sell, refer them to ShareASale, gaining that referral, then become their affiliate. You are already familiar with their product and can do an honest review as a hub and on your blog, driving traffic to their web-site, and their product or service, collecting your commissions, this is a win/win situation!


Why ShareASale is their Network of Choice

As Promised The Complete Set-up Guide!

TerryGI of Australia has written a hub that is a complete walk-through of ShareASale.com.

The hub is eight months old but the content is so relevant! I have listened to tutorials on other affiliate marketing programs and other sites. ShareASale.com is hands down the easiest to use. It takes less time to apply these monetizing links than any program I have run across in these three months. If you are still unsure then please check out TerryGI's Hub.

Helping Mothers and Others

If you would like to earn tangible residual income each month within a year, please contact me. You will be making a commitment to help others.

If you need help with anything from coping to writing please feel free to contact me as well. I do not charge for my knowledge. Just tired of seeing everyone taking advantage of others. Contact me (Faybe Bay) via HubPages through the link at the above right.

Have a great Day, thanks for reading, and if you like my writing please help me by rating me up, and sharing my page by clicking below.

I am pathetic when it comes to these things. I will read this twenty more times and hopefully I can get the drift of how this works.

Breakfastpop, it is so easy! I wish I could call you on the phone, it's that easy! Click on the link, then sign up. Next say you are writing a Mother's Day Hub, you can click on the holidays link on the dashboard, or you can click under "find Merchants" View and Search Merchant list. Just type in gifts, and you will open up at least ten or more businesses that sell gifts. Sign up with one and then click on Activity Summary to get your links. Scrolling down, you will see all of the businesses you signed up with. Click on Get Links (all the way to the right) and there will be choices such as banners. Now you have to make sure you pick a text link for Hub Pages, but for blogs or your own web site, you may be able to use a banner.

I'll e-mail you.

Interesting. I will have to check this out.

Faybe Bay Hub Author 2 years ago

No doubt Sandy! I found them yesterday and have two hubs up from that. It was backwards actually. I wouldn't have found them if I hadn't quit smoking. I went to right the hub about that, clicked an affiliate link, and ran head on into ShareASale! It was a match made in heaven!

Hi Ann! It works in more ways than one, you get an incentive when people sign up for ShareASale, and then you pick companies to promote as well. So easy. If you have a web site you can put up banners and everything!

The link didn't work to TerryGI's hub

Faybe Bay profile image

Faybe Bay Hub Author 2 months ago

Sorry about the link not working, however the info on the Shareasale website makes it easy.

And, since I've been away awhile, I am not sure if we are still allowed to do Shareasale here, but never fear, if you post that question in the Forums, I am sure someone will help you with that information.
