There are many reasons why affiliates should write a blog, but here are a few of the most important ones:

Online Presence

Perhaps the most important reason of all is to create an online presence. Apart from the fact that this will be working to get sales for you 24 hours a day and 7 days a week….. many affiliate programs want to see where and how you will be promoting their products.

Having an online presence can make the difference between being accepted or rejected for some of the most lucrative and popular affiliate programs. It sets you apart from all the other beginners in this industry, who will often not get a look in, just because they do not have an online presence already.

If you want to work with some of the best affiliate networks and promote top performing affiliate products, then a blog is one of the easiest ways to get accepted.

Automated Promoting and Sales

Those who spend just a little time writing an affiliate blog will soon learn that it is one of the best ways to get automated sales. This is because when people search the internet for information, they are primed and ready to TAKE ACTION.

People who are searching for information are ALREADY LOOKING for something that you have the ability to provide. Simply writing some blog posts is going to attract more of those people towards you.

A blog does not have to have a lot of posts for this to start working for you either. Just a few well written posts can gain you a lot of views and sales.

Increases Your Status

As mentioned above, many companies will ask for details of your online presence when you apply to become an affiliate for them. Not only does it help you to get accepted, it also shows that you understand the need to become an influencer. You CANNOT become an influencer without a following. So how do you get a following?

Having a blog gives people the chance to follow you, to read what you have to say, and makes you stand out as more of an expert in your field. When people enjoy reading what you have written they will come back and read your posts over and over again.

Hey presto….. you then have a following.

Learning Professional Marketing Skills

There is more to blogging than simply writing the posts. There are a lot of additional skills that you will learn as you progress. Things like search engine optimisation (SEO) can make the difference between your blog getting views or not and is vital if you want to succeed as a blogging affiliate.

There are all sorts of other skills that you can learn as a blogger too. List building for example is another big thing that all affiliates need to understand.
