A friend asked me a question that gave me pause for thought. She asked: “Are you a blogger or are you an affiliate marketer who blogs for profit?”
Her question gave me a jolt because I have never thought of the two things as an either/or activity.
For me it is not about blogging versus affiliate marketing. It just so happens that I enjoy blogging about topics related to affiliate marketing. If I decide to stop affiliate marketing and do something else, the likelihood is that I would blog about that something else!
Affiliate marketing is about promoting and selling. Blogging is about sharing and communicating news, ideas, information and advice that people may find interesting or beneficial.
It boils down to whether a blog offers value to its readers. It is a reminder of why I changed from a static website to blogging in the first place and, of course, referrals are a much appreciated bonus!
I would love to know your thoughts on this topic so don’t hesitate to post your comment.
To your continued success,
Jude

The festive season is a time of giving and receiving gifts, and also a time when we should think twice about accepting free gifts from a business.
I have undertaken many internet marketing courses and programs over the years. Some were excellent, others were left wanting.
