I find it interesting that people think that blogging makes more money than affiliate marketing. In reality, blogging is just a medium through which you get to make money from affiliate marketing. If you have a blog, you’re likely to make all your money being an affiliate marketer.
Essentially, content creation forms the basis for blogging, meaning that you get to showcase your creative skills on that front. You can start as either a blogger or an affiliate marketer and keep at it for a while. However, both industries are still separate, even when one serves the purpose of the other.
Along the line, you might want to expand your earning potentials as a blogger. At such a time, affiliate marketing seems a logical addition for better profits. In addition, advertisers understand the cost-effective prospect of merging blogging and affiliate marketing platforms. Therefore, you have better incentives to make money from both simultaneously.
These days, people blog to sell something: you’ll find SEO keywords, backlinks in posts, and topics that are “hyper-specific” in a niche. In addition, lucrative affiliate programs and setups are available, and you can access them as a blogger.
So, affiliate marketing is the real money-making prospect of the two.
