Banner advertising on blogs will continue to remain one of the biggest money earners for people wishing to make blog money. This is a complete step by step on how to use ShareASale right through to putting the banners on your site.

ShareASale is without doubt a leader in affiliate marketing that is hands free working 24/7/365 without you ever having to lift a finger after you have taken ten minutes to set it all up.

ShareASale returns paid per click, paid per lead and a percentage on sales you generate.

I personally have used ShareASale for the past two years and it will often out perform my Adsense earnings on a given day. I can tell you not to be too surprised when you will see in your ShareASale summary account a few large figures.

Each banner you put on your blog will have the potential of receiving targeted visitors who are eager to buy the product making you money.

Here's how to use ShareASale and how to place the code on your site..

When you join ShareASale you will need to search what merchants are available.

You enter your keyword that is themed to your site. If you sell dog food then that will be your keyword.

Once you enter your keyword search you will then generate a list of merchants.

Some merchants will auto approve, that is you will immediately be allowed to promote their products.

Other merchants will view your site to ensure it is on theme and meets their terms of service before approving you to join their program.

Here is a few quick screenshots of a keyword search and then the results page..

When your search returns the merchants available to you for your keyword you will see at the right hand side the data details for that merchant. Good high numbers often means a well converting program and these are the ones you will want to join.

Join the merchant program by clicking on the JOIN link and you will be taken to the approval page.

Once approved you then go to the Get Links page to get your links. These links vary from text links right through to full on landing pages.

I use the banner links.

Here are a few screen shots showing this.

When you have decided from the many variations of links available to you such as the different size banners, you then take the code and place it on your site.

Simply copy the code and go to your site, in my case, I will show you how to do this on a self hosted Wordpress blog.

Your site may be html or other, but the whole linking system works for these sites as well.

Here's a few how to shots for you..

There we go. That took about five minutes to search a merchant, view the merchant terms (how much they will pay per sale), choose the desired link, get link copy, load on site and view the banners.

That truly is set and forget. No hard html coding, simple and yet so straight forward.

What will happen now is my banner is working for me on my site virtual hairstyles as you can see from the above screenshot. The banner compliments my site and from my experience I know it will get a lot of cicks and good conversions.

This is how simple it can be to make money with your own blog or website. All of what I have shown you here today is free. That's right - free - and will make you money.

ShareASale will send you a cheque over fifty dollars or you can set up EFT - electronic funds transactions - where you will be paid on time - every month.

To join this wonderful program and start making money then this is the only link you will ever need - Join ShareASale For Free.

Once you get going you should give your advertisements time to see how well they perform. If one is not performing say after three weeks, change it and look for another one that will start working for you.

I always recommend experimenting until you find one banner or link that works. I have only ever had to change one of my banners and found the banners that I do use do generate clicks and sales.

Well that's my walk through on ShareASale and how to enter the program and make money while you sleep.
