I added $2k/mo revenue to my affiliate site with just a few emails - 2 small case studies entrepreneur how earn by blogging blog

What up fam,

I have built and sold many affiliate sites over the past 3 years, and today I wanted to share the easiest way to substantially increase revenue that I have found. It does require that you have a decently performing affiliate site (nothing crazy though, my sites were only getting about 10-15k monthly visitors at the time of the emails) and it can't look like a spammy mess either.

Obviously, your mileage will vary based on the industry you're in and some other factors, but I think a lot of sites can benefit from this and I don't see it talked about much in the affiliate world so I thought I would share.

This isn't anything sexy or flashy - the way I've added $1,500-2k/mo to my websites is by directly contact manufacturers and asking if they would like to advertise with me. It sounds really obvious, but I don't see it talked about very often.

I think affiliate marketers assume that because their site is out to sell products, that should be their only big source of income and that manufacturers see them as spammy leaches that they don't want to be associated with. In my experience, this is far from the truth, especially if your site looks authentic. But even in the case of the first case study I'll show below, the domain name looked super spammy "bestxxxxxxx.com" (I know, I don't buy domain like this anymore) and I still landed a $2k/month deal with it.

So that's the "what", and in this imgur URL I'll show you the "how". These are the real email pitches I used to land these deals, you can see they follow a pretty similar format - http://ift.tt/2smwgRh

I wrote up a very detailed article on the process on my website where I explain things more and give some other tips.

So if you're sitting on an affiliate website that's getting some traffic, look into doing something like this. It could be an easy, truly passive extra $500+ a month. The other amazing part of this is if you sell your website, you increase the value of it by thousands of dollars as you greatly increase your monthly profits, and your site is more attractive to buyers since a diversified revenue stream is rare for affiliate sites.
