Selling products on your blog (your own or an affiliate product) is all about your trustworthiness and authority.

People will buy only and only if they trust you.

When I started affiliate marketing around 8 years back, I did few mistakes.

I wanted to sell my products to people who have never interacted me, who didn't know who I was.

So why should they believe on me?

Why should they spend the money on a product which I am suggesting in my review?

I got the answer when I made no sales after spending 4-5 months.

So I thought about building authority so that people can trust what I want to say and ultimately they buy the things which I suggest them to buy.

So in this post, I'll talk about a few core ingredients which are necessary to make affiliate sales on your blog. Some ingredients which I have personally used in last 2 years and seeing a huge increment in my sales.

If you want to make your blog an authority in your niche, a professional design will help you to create the good first impression for your blog.
