WordPress Affiliate plugin was released a few days ago and I am amazingly impressed with its features and benefits, so much so, that I ended up doing a video demonstration.

There are a number of ways to make money online, and in my humble opinion, there's nothing like having your own blog, especially if you use WordPress. WordPress makes blogging so much easier and more effective.
For one thing, you get to decide which content to put on it and don't have to wait a week for someone else to approve it. You get to keep your ad revenue. If you use Google Adsense, however, chances are it's more like Google Adcents…offering you pennies for the traffic you give to them. And don't get me started on Google slaps.
That's why it's more effective to promote affiliate products on your blog rather than rely on Adsense. Affiliate commissions have a much higher payout than ad clicks.
One option is to have a "blog sponsor" section in your sidebar. Place ads here (preferably with eye-catching graphics rather than just text) that link to select affiliate products and also your own products if you have any.
Another option is to occasionally write a blog post that promotes an affiliate product. The posts should contain solid content in addition to the sales pitch. Write the post as if you were talking to a friend so that it doesn't come across as too pitchy.
Don't forget to have an opt-in form on your blog so that you can collect the email addresses of your blog readers. You can occasionally promote affiliate products through email to your list. You should also send out emails that contain helpful, engaging content. You can use your blog posts as content but you should also use original content in your emails too. Mix it up.

I recommend WordPress Affiliate to my blog readership.
