Healthy Weight Loss

With about two-thirds of the nation overweight, weight loss remains an American pastime. New diet products appear on store shelves and online marketplaces every year, making tens of billions of dollars for weight-loss companies. Use the Internet to help others in the battle against obesity and make money in the process. Affiliate programs allow you to make money advertising other people's weight-loss products.

Instructions

1 Sign up for a free blog with a provider such as TypePad, Blogspot or Wordpress. A blog is a simple-to-use website, which you will use to post affiliate ads from weight-loss companies. Give your blog a title related to health, weight loss, dieting, nutrition or exercise, since these are things likely to interest the target market for the ads you will place.
2 Learn about the products various weight-loss companies offer to determine which you would feel comfortable advertising to people. The federal government provides a website you can use to evaluate companies' claims about their products. My Food Diary, eDiets, Joe Bucks, Diet and Free Weight Loss are just some companies that have affiliate programs.
3 Read the terms of the affiliate program for each company whose products you like. Pay attention to the company's requirements to pay you, for example "per click" on an ad from your website or "per sale" from the ad. Sign up for affiliate accounts with as many companies as you can without violating the terms.
4 Place affiliate ads on the sidebars of your blog. The Federal Trade Commission requires you to state plainly that you receive compensation for placing these ads, so type a disclaimer near the ads.
5 Make several blog posts related to the subject you chose in step 1, each with a descriptive title and filled with keywords. Doing so will make your blog easier to find through search engines. Use natural language, though, because using too many keywords and unusual phrases will turn off visitors. Publish the posts to make them visible to others.
6 Contact bloggers who write blogs similar to yours and ask to do guest posts. A guest post is a post you write for another blogger to publish on his blog, which attracts the blogger's audience to your blog. Write an original piece for each blogger.
7 Link to your blog in the comments you leave on other blogs, in your e-mail signatures and forum signatures. The more people visit your blog, the more money you can make from the weight-loss ads.
8 Repeat step 5 at least once a week to keep your blog's content fresh. Readers may stop visiting if they see that you don't blog often.
