Monetizing your blog with Shareasale.com is easy ,a couple of weeks back i signed with shareasale for a client of mine and was impressed with the ease of use and the commission payout.Some of the advertisers pay $500 while others pay 100%.
You can have your choice of affiliates to choose from,its a easy interface and it takes a day or two to get approved .You can also compare affiliates to see which rank better,Here are some easy steps on how to setup .
Payment policies - Shareashale offers a minimum payout of $50 and it is sent via check,they do not offer paypal for now.Reporting structure is good and there are no fees to join.Have fun!



Step 1

Sign-up as an Affliate at




Step 2

Search the Merchant List and look for products and sites that would relate well to the theme and subject matter you usually blog about.

Step 3 Apply for affiliate status with those merchants. Most Shareasale merchants will approve you automatically.

Step 4

Post banners/buttons and text links on your blog advertising the merchants you have been accepted by.

Step 5
Try to work links to your affiliate merchants sites into the body of your blog posts. For example if you're writing about Software or business mention the great hotel you stayed at in San Francisco and link to the travel site from the word "Business".

Step 6
Remember to go back to Shareasale and search for appropriate merchants to link to everytime you post new info on your blog. You can casually work them into the text body or if you have personal experience with the products you could recommend them in a testimonial type blogpost

Hope this helps ,happy money making.
