Make Money from Affiliate Program Banners and Links with a Blogger Blog

One of the very nice aspects of blogging with Google Blogger is that you can monetize and generate income by adding affiliate links and banners to your Blogger blog (Blogspot blog) alongside Google Adsense.

Placing a few affiliate banners on your blog will also help you make money passively as your blog grows and traffic increases.

How Does Affiliate Marketing Work with a Blogspot Blog?

Generally speaking when a visitor clicks on an affiliate banner or link on your blog and signs up to a service or buys a product you will make money from that click.
