2. Amazon Amazon Associate program is another important way to make money blogging. The Amazon Associate program gives

opportunity to website/blog publishers to promote any product from its inventory by adding a predefined code to their

website/blog, which, when clicked by a visitor, takes them to the relevant product page. Once the visitor buys the product,

the blog owner will be compensated with a commission.
