An affiliate program, also known as an affiliate program or PP, is a platform for cooperation between partners (webmasters) and suppliers of goods or services. For example, Travelpayouts is a travel affiliate program where you will find various travel products: air tickets, hotels, tours, insurance and others, for the sale of which you will receive a reward.
Affiliates pay per impression, click, sale or targeted action after a click. If you look at the topic of making money on the Internet broadly, then the ideas of Internet business go far beyond affiliate programs, so in 2020 the following types of earnings are popular:
- Paid clicks;
- Writing comments for money;
- Creating and maintaining groups in in social networks;
- Creating and filling your own blog (site);
- Traffic arbitrage;
- And others.
Earnings from paid clicks can be compared to low-paying vacancies - there is a lot of work, but they pay little. To simply pay for the Internet using clicks for money, you need to spend several days at the computer.
This option is one of the lowest paid, but is popular among beginners. To earn money from clicks, you need to connect to CAP exchanges, which are sometimes called axleboxes:
You can make money from comments. To do this, register on specialized exchanges:
Webmasters post a task on exchanges and pay 5-30 rubles per comment.
This is similar to copywriting (writing articles), but you need to write short texts and leave them on other people's sites. The work is monotonous and quickly becomes boring, but here, with due diligence, you can earn your first good money.
Of the above, copywriting deserves special attention, since you can make good money by writing texts, and even live from it.
Look for orders on specialized forums, for example Searchengines, Maultalk, Webmasters, or on specialized exchanges - Text.ru, Advego.ru and others. Study our material - and improve your writing skills in practice.
Having your own website (blog) is already a full-fledged business on the Internet, ideas for which we discuss in this article.
A website is an Internet platform where you post information that people need. People are your audience and various advertisers are interested in it. There are 4 main methods of traffic monetization:
- Sale of advertising space (fixed payment);
- Pay per views (usually the rate is calculated for every 1000 views);
- Pay per click (the cost per click varies depending on the quality of your audience);
- Payment for the sale of a product or service.
The last method is called CPA, which stands for Cost Per Action. An action is understood as the sale of a product or service, as well as something else, for example, registering on a website, filling out a form, etc.
Creating a website is not difficult; in 2020, there are free website builders and hundreds of guides on how to create a website. It’s much more difficult to bring people to the site and then monetize the traffic. This will require building business processes, building a team and delegating tasks, for example, ordering content, working with social networks, etc.
We have prepared several materials to help you:
Traffic arbitrage is a way to make money on advertising without a website. Arbitration involves buying traffic and redirecting it to the affiliate program of your choice.
His earnings will depend on how well the affiliate segments the traffic he receives. Be prepared to experiment; this is the only way to discover methods that work.
Ideas for sites to make money on affiliate programs in 2020
As mentioned earlier, an affiliate program without a website is a completely viable way to generate income, since it does not force a person into the framework of one website or group on a social network, but offers various options for receiving traffic.
Most affiliate programs accept a variety of types of traffic, including:
- Social media;
- Websites;
- Mobile applications;
- contextual advertising;
- Teaser advertising;
- E-mail newsletters;
- And other sources.
These are the most common types of traffic at the moment. When connecting to an affiliate program, always check the permitted and prohibited types of traffic, since violating the rules entails blocking your account without the possibility of withdrawing money.
You can familiarize yourself with the acceptable types of traffic in the Travelpayouts affiliate network in the knowledge base.
What will I receive compensation for?
In the case of highly specialized methods, for example, earnings from clicks, earnings from viewing advertisements, etc., the process of receiving rewards is immediately clear. When working with affiliate networks, the question arises: how will I earn money?
Affiliate programs pay for the following actions:
- Displaying an advertisement;
- Follow the link to the seller’s website (click);
- Performing some action on the site;
- Purchase of goods.
As we wrote above, purchasing a product is not always the only paid action; some affiliate programs also pay for other actions, for example, for leaving a phone number.
Below is a table showing the approximate rates that people are willing to pay partnership programs in various niches
These are approximate rates, thanks to which it is clear that 10,000 people in the entertainment sector are unequal in profitability from 10,000 people in the financial or tourism niche.
When choosing an affiliate program, you should focus on what kind of traffic you have. You can’t offer the most profitable and expensive product if your audience doesn’t need it.
Within each niche you can find products that will sell better than others. In tourism the main products are:
- Air tickets: 1.3-1.8% of the air ticket price;
- Hotels: 4-6% of the room rate;
- Tours: 3-4% of the tour price;
- Insurance: 10-25% of the cost of the insurance policy.
Try different products to see which ones bring you the most income. To make money on everything listed above, connect to the Travelpayouts network, it's free.
You don't need to focus only on the rate. For example, 10 sales with a reward of 100 rubles = 1000 rubles, and this is better than 1 sale with a commission 5 times higher, but which did not take place at all. Look at what works for you.
As for the column - performing a certain action, an example is any legal affiliate program that pays for leaving contact information.
Making money on affiliate programs is not the easiest, and certainly not the fastest way to get rich. But this is a way to earn money, and if you do the work conscientiously, the amount of income can exceed the average salary in your region.
The most important thing is traffic and its quality. The first option that comes to mind is your own website, for example a travel blog for selling airline tickets. But this is not the only opportunity to earn money. Moreover, in 2020 you can make money online without your own website.
Social network
If you have your own group, then you are free to decide for yourself when and what to advertise to your audience. Be careful, as both Facebook and VK block for placing some types of advertising, so before work, study the requirements of social networks.
Email newsletters
Sending emails with advertising offers is another way to make money from an affiliate program if you do not have your own website. Naturally, mailings require their own database email addresses. It can be collected or bought from other people.

This is a big mistake that everyone has gone through. You will simply be blocked for spam and whatever else you achieve. Do as I wrote above and you will get the result.
Greetings, friends. Vasily Blinov is in touch, and today I will share with you working methods of promotion. I googled “how to make money from affiliate programs”, but did not find a single article with real methods, the same thing in every article. Maybe this is a secret? Then I will reveal it to you.
I won't tell you what it is or how it works. Maybe in subsequent articles, when I will tell you how to choose affiliate programs and what three ways to recommend them on your resources.
I'll start in order with the most effective and demonic paid methods:
1. Personal profile on social networks
No matter how great a product or service is, people have little trust in advertising. Therefore, in my opinion, the main sales come through a personal page and communication. When I talk about some useful course or service on my page, people often ask me questions in private and, having learned all the details, it is easier for them to make a decision.
2. Communities on social networks
According to statistics, my most effective networks are now: VKontakte and Instagram. Well-promoted public in these social networks. networks can carry tens and hundreds of thousands of rubles into the pockets of their owners. In six months of free promotion, I managed to recruit 14,500 subscribers to my group “ Life Without Borders - Travel».
3. Fake accounts on social networks
Earnings from a personal profile can be rivaled by a fake one. The fake account must be similar to the real page. Usually I look for a person from another country who leads an active lifestyle, and create a fake page based on his profile.
Thus, I always have new photos with this person to write new posts on his behalf. There should be no hint on this account that you are selling something. I repeat once again that it should look as if it were alive.
4. Your own website/blog
5. E-mail newsletter
6. Commenting on blogs
I already wrote about this method in the article “”, or rather, I wrote there instructions on how to comment on blogs correctly and as profitably as possible. Because through comments you also increase traffic to your resources.
7. Advertising in social networking communities
Of course, promoting communities on social media. networks and your blog requires certain financial expenses. But this and the next two ways of making money on affiliate programs require constant cash investments.
Again, according to my indicators, purchasing thematic advertising posts on the social network VKontakte and Instagram brings the greatest result of these three paid methods. Basically, I buy sponsored posts on my behalf so that people can get to my page, read my posts and ask their questions.
It is better to buy such advertising personally through administrators; it is several times cheaper than through exchanges. Just go to the community and look for the contact of a person who does advertising. Sometimes you can bargain, buy, for example, several publications at once for a lower price, and post them with an interval of several days.
8. Contextual advertising in social media. networks
The only thing that is difficult about this method is to write a competent title and go through moderation. From my experience, I can say that one of my three advertisements did not pass moderation the first time. Now I have already learned the basic rules and everything is fine.
Advertising can also be placed on your communities and external sites. According to my statistics for 2 months, one subscriber via an affiliate link costs 10-20 rubles. I can't say whether it's expensive or cheap. I’ll tell you how I set up VKontakte advertising in the future. You can still search the Internet for information about this.
9. Buying banners on blogs
Last method I implemented earnings this month, I can say that it really works well. The main thing is to place it in the right place.
What are banners? Do you see the picture with the book on the right? By the way, I recommend downloading and reading this useful book; I started my journey with it. This is the banner. Advantages of banners: relatively cheap advertising, visitors cannot turn it off with various extensions, it is shown to everyone 24 hours a day.
On blogs with more than 1,000 visitors per day, there is usually an “advertising” section, where you can buy a banner either automatically, or you will have to negotiate with the admin.
Conclusion of the article “How to make money on affiliate programs”
All that remains is to find good program and implement these methods in order. Be sure to keep track of metrics for each method so you know what works best for you.
Best regards, Vasily Blinov.
