Monetize Your Blogger Through Amazon

I found a helpful way to partially monetize your Blog site since this is within the Blogger.com itself.

The Amazon.com

Amazon is an affiliate program.  There's a nifty feature on Blogger which enables you to monetize very easily using Amazon. Of course, first you'll have to sign up as an Amazon affiliate.

• Click the Monetize tab
• Click the Amazon Associates link
  
• Enter your Amazon associate ID
• Copy the code in the text box
• Click on the blue button "Visit Template Editor"
• Paste the code just before the </body> tag in the template. This should be near the end of the code, but it will depend on the template you're using. Yes, it can take a while to find it!
• Save the template money online 

 Or simply use the new feature in adding the code by clicking the ""Add to Blogger" button.


Now, try writing a new post. You'll see an Amazon box next to the post. As you write your post, highlight your keyword and click "go" in the Amazon box - and hey presto, it will suggest relevant products for you to feature.
Personally, I always choose the "link + image" option - which inserts an image of the product, plus a link, into the post.
The beauty of this feature is that every single blog post can become a selling opportunity - instead of having ads in your sidebar, which readers may not even look at.
The catch with Amazon is that their cookie is very short - basically, if someone clicks on your ad, you need them to buy there and then to make money. So you'd better do a good job of selling them the product in the blog post!
Hope this helps.
