Top 10 Affiliate Marketers and Their Affiliate Blogs You Should Know

There is no doubt that affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to make money online. It is all about selling products online to customers.

However, selling online is very different from other forms of making money online like Google Adsense.

Selling a product can be 10 times more difficult than getting clicks on ads.

In fact, so many new bloggers fail to become successful affiliate marketers. Hence, to boost the confidence of such bloggers I wrote this article containing a list of the top 10 affiliate marketers.

These affiliate marketers are for real and their success can help you to realize that if they can do it then you can do it too.

Here are the top 10 affiliate marketers you must know about.

1. Pat Flynn

No. 1 Affiliate marketer in our Top 10 list is Pat Flynn and his blog SmartPassiveIncome.

Although the name of the website suggests passive income. But, there isn’t anything passive when it comes to his site.

The reason why he is one of the best affiliate marketers in the world right now is the transparency of his blog and the availability of quality content on the site.

SmartPassiveIncome is a very detailed site with lots of information on it. If you are new to this site then I recommend you start with reading his story on the “About” page.

Then move on to reading his “Income Reports” for monthly income.

Later on, you can go through his blogs, podcasts, courses, and other resources present on this site. Pat Flynn ensures that his readers don’t have to go anywhere else if they want to learn affiliate marketing.

I’m pretty much sure after going through his entire website you will be totally convinced why he is making around $145,000 a month.

In a nutshell, two things stand out about Pat Flynn, the first one is transparency as he shares monthly income and the second is the abundance of content in all forms written, videos, and podcasts.

• Name: Pat Flynn
• Blog: SmartPassiveIncome
• Estimated Earnings: $145,000 a month

2. John Chow

The reason why John Chow makes second on the list is that he also earns $100,000+ (approx.) a month.

When it comes to showing income his blog JohnChow pompous than Pat Flynn’s SmartPassiveIncome. One major difference between these two is branding.

John chow is a much popular brand name than Pat Flynn.

Read his free eBook where John tells you how he made over $100,000 a month from $0 in just a few years.

There is another one where he tells how you can make over $40,000 per month in just 2 years working only 2 hours a day.

He also loves to boast his lifestyle by sharing articles like “Over $30,000 before 9 AM – Another day In the Life of John Chow” and “Meet the New Driving with John Chow Jaguar F Type”.

There is no doubt that John makes over a million dollars in a year but the question is can he inspire other affiliate marketers to do the same? Well! I leave it up to you to decide!

However, do read his eBooks.

• Blog: JohnChow
