Many people run personal blogs where they share with the World the trials and tribulations when getting fit and losing weight. Since the rise of the personal blog, such “fitness blogs” have become very common indeed. Many people have managed to turn their hobby blogs into successful businesses with some clever affiliate marketing. So, which affiliate and advertising methods are the best if you wish to monetize a fitness or weight loss website?
If you get your traffic from a variety of sources with searches on many different health related topics, then Google Adsense is a good option because you will have most bases covered. However, Adsense is not the best paying advertising plan, and its rumoured that it uses a “smart pricing” structure which means websites with lower traffic receive lower paid adverts.
Some of the most successful health and fitness businesses are selling eBook and other digital products. These are easy for webmasters to market and have the added advantage of having an almost global market as eBooks are sent to clients by email (or download links) so have no delivery costs. What makes eBooks even better for the health and fitness webmaster (or blogger) is that you can earn good rates of commission on the products.
The most popular affiliate program for health eBooks is Clickbank.com. Most vendors of health and fitness eBooks that sell on Clickbank.com give 75% of the sales price to the affiliate. This makes it a fantastic deal. Compared with selling paper books on Amazon which gives about 5% commission to webmasters, there is no contest. So, which are the best products on Clickbank?
