Affiliate Programmes and Productivity

by Shai Coggins on October 21st, 2005

‘Gotta love posts like this. Arieanna of BloggingHelp shares her process and insight regarding the use of affiliate programmes in more productive blogging. She writes:

I’ve just come to the realization that affiliate programs are not just about making money, they are actually about improving my workflow.

Let me explain. I have a few product-based sites and have been recently using affiliate programs - Amazon and LinkShare - to look for products, review them, and insert information.

Rather than me going to Amazon, I’ll use a blog plugin to search the affiliate links directly. The pictures are enough to get me interested in a product or not. I can search quickly. Then, with minimal clicks, my blog post is ready with image and link, and in one step I have the product information to modify and review.

So, if you’re trying to make money from your weblog (and becoming a more productive blogger at the same time), her post is definitely something worth considering.

And then, try to answer this question: Are you using a blog software that supports such a plugin feature? Hmmm…
