Languages Are Easy
Niche: Language Learning/ Courses and Other Resources
Type: Informational / Review
Affiliate Program: Several Language Learning Products
LanguagesAreEasy.com is my own website where I teach people how to learn languages more easily while having fun. I got an idea for this website when I was thinking about things where I am good at and how I could help other people.
I realized that I have lots of knowledge about learning languages that could help other people as well.
What Makes This Site Awesome
- Content is informative and helpful.
- Talks for a wide range of audience.
- The content is evergreen. Most principles to language learning apply even after tens of years.
How This Site Makes Me Money
I earn money by explaining about different kind of language learning courses and resources. I explain, for example, that I learned French by listening to a free podcast called Francais Authentique. I mention that I only used their resources and they were extremely helpful. Most resources are free but they also have paid courses for those who really want to take French skills to the next level.
When people go to Francais Authentique website through my link and buys something, I earn a commission. I use the same strategy with other programs as well. Actually, I don’t even need to sell anything, I just explain how programs work and people want to try them out.

Here Pup!
Niche: Dogs
Type: Affiliate / Review
Affiliate progra: Several dog-related affiliate programs (+ads)
HerePup.com is a classical affiliate website. The website is full of content and I believe that dog lovers can spend even hours reading their articles. They seem to target specific keywords with their posts and drive traffic from Google search.
What Makes This Site Awesome
- Lots of content.
- Dog lovers are often passionate about the subject.
- Wide range of products in the dog industry.
How This Site Makes Money
The site has lots “the best” -articles. For example, The Best Fish Oil For Dogs (5 Highly Effective Products). Then they have listed 5 different fish oils for dogs and the reader can click their link to buy them. Another example is, “How To Crate Train A Puppy (Plus 5 Excellent Crate Options).” They seem to monetize with Chewy.com affiliate program. Chewy.com is an eCommerce for pet products.
Best Longboard Reviews
Niche: Longboards
Type: Informational / Review
Affiliate Program: Amazon Associates
BestLongboardReviews.net is a website with a simple idea in a specific niche. They write reviews of longboards and rank them based on different kind of factors like: Durability, weight, appearance, stability and speed.
I like the idea of the website because it’s pretty easy to create but it still can be highly profitable. Visitors can also leave their own reviews in the comments which adds value to the site.
What Makes This Site Awesome
- Easy-to-navigate on the site.
- Highly specific niche.
- Visitors can leave reviews as well.
- Simple but informational layout and articles.
How This Site Makes Money
They write reviews of every kind of longboards. Then they have links to Amazon on each article. When a visitor clicks the link and buys a longboard (or anything else on Amazon), the site owners earns a commission. We can honestly say that LongBoardReviews.net is a classical Amazon affiliate site. Notice that you don’t need to own all longboards to write reviews. You can follow my tips to make it successful and honest.
Football Snack Helmets
Niche: NFL / Sports Fans
Type: Informational / Review
Affiliate Program: Amazon Associates
This site is extremely interesting. It’s created by Wealthy Affiliate live training coach Jay Neill. He showed on Wealthy Affiliate’s live training how he created this site in front of our eyes. Jay explained the keyword research, showed when he built everything and showed how much money he makes.
He put only very little effort on building this site but it makes him thousands of dollars every year “on autopilot” (=passive income). I think creating this site took only like a few workweeks in total. We can certainly say it was success. You can take a look at the process how Jay built the site on Wealthy Affiliate live training archive. (I’ll leave a link below.)
What Makes This Site Awesome
- Building the site didn’t take much time.
- The site has peaks in sales always during the Super Bowl.
- The idea is pretty simple and could be applied to any other mini-niche.
How This Site Makes Money
The site shows football snack helmets of every NFL team. It just shows the basic details of the snack helmet and that’s it. Then they have a link to Amazon and when somebody goes and buys something, Jay earns a commission. A great thing with Amazon affiliate program is that he can also earn money when people buy something else. If somebody buys a TV with a snack helmet from Amazon, it means quite juicy commissions for Jay.

Top Ten Reviews
Niche: No specific niche
Type: Review Website
Affiliate Program: Amazon Associates
Top Ten Review a little bit different than other in our list but it’s also a good example on how large an affiliate marketing website can grow. This website has reviews about everything between that you can imagine: Home products, health, business, outdoor, etc.
They have millions of unique visitors every month and I guess that the monthly revenue is measured in millions of ollars. They have also lots of employees who are actively testing new products and producing more content.
For a beginner it’s naturally difficult to create a site like this one but it really shows you the potential how much you can really earn with affiliate marketing. Even the sky isn’t the limit.
What Makes This Site Awesome
- They have reviews about everything.
- The website has a huge authority since it was founded back in 2003 and there are thousands of reviews.
- Reviews are in-depth and informative.
How This Site Makes Money
The website has lots of affiliate links to Amazon. So, when people look at their reviews and go to buy something from Amazon, they earn commissions. In addition, they have for sure the highest commission rates from Amazon and from other partner sites because they have so huge volume. Top Ten Reviews also uses ads and I think they make a nice income with them as well.
BONUS!
I promised to show you 5 awesome examples of affiliate marketing websites but I’ll show you another one as a bonus.
A great example of a fast-growing review site is WAH Pursuit. They publish reviews of different Internet marketing & make money online programs providing the latest information for their readers.
You can check out their review of Parallel Profits to get a better idea how it looks like. They’re using a simple yet powerful layout leaving lots of white color and making their reviews easy-to-read for visitors.

Hi Roope – You are super-responsive! Thanks for this – very helpful! And thanks for the earlier tips.
Thank you so much Dee, I appreciate it! 🙂
Very good and informative information, I am very enlightened. I am especially interested in selling other people’s stuff on a couple of my websites. Now, these sites are record label sites with merchandise to sell on all of them. I’m here trying to find the best route to selling my merchandise as well as other merchandise from around the globe. This seems like the videos posted here are going to be a huge help as well.
Alright, that sounds like a great plan!
I launched my blogs in 2015 and began promoting amazon affiliate products. I had a few sales, therefore, I was encouraged to stare affiliate website. Currently, I have two affiliate websites. sadly, these websites are not making me much. These days, I am revamping my sites so that I can maximize my earning. You can start an affiliate website will little funds, however, making money can be really difficult because you need thousands of visitors.
That’s also true. My suggestion would be just to concentrate on one site until it’s making good money and progress. Then create another site. Many affiliate marketers who have +10 years of experience in the business are often giving this tip. Of course, there are other school of thoughts as well but I think that is a good way to approach it. If there are too many sites, it can be hard to make a big breakthrough with any of them. What do you think?
It’s amazing how niche these finds are although I guess that’s part of the reason why they are successful. You’ve done a very good job in laying out all the details and making the idea of affiliate marketing simpler for those that might only be getting started in it.
I’ve bookmarked this article and hopefully some day I’ll get to use it once I find a niche I am passionate about and I know I can build a following on. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and keep up the good work!
I am happy to hear that you found this article helpful and valuable! You can always ask me if you have any questions about affiliate marketing and I’ll be more than happy to help you out.
Thanks for sharing examples of various different affiliate marketing websites including yours. It actually encouraged me to think about maybe starting my own affiliate marketing website. I’m not too sure about what exactly I would do, to be honest. I thought maybe I could do down the route of hosting site reviews and getting commission from these hosting sites when I refer someone to their site. The only problem would be that there are already many sites doing this already.
That’s a great idea! Commissions from hosting sites are also very lucrative because you can earn recurring monthly passive income. Usually, people sign up to hosting for at least a year. Some clients use the same provider for even 10 years. Therefore, there is a big potential for making money.
The fact that there are already many hosting review site means that people are making lots of money with it.
Truly, I have started considering Wealthy Affiliate as a way to financial freedom online having gone through series of blog posts on this site. On a more serious note, I heard about Wealthy Affiliate for the first time on this site and have begun seeing things about this platform in a totally different way, hoping to join and start making money online soonest.
Yes, Wealthy Affiliate has changed many people’s lives including mine. I can honestly recommend their training and community. It’s amazing.
LanguagesAreEasy.com is a very good site that you have for teaching people how to learn other languages they might have interest in either for business purposes or pleasure. I have learnt a lot from participating in the site especially reading this morning about Italki. It’s so cool what you offer in the site.
Wow, thank you very much Martin! I appreciate your positive feedback!
The positive feedback are definitely bound to come whether from me or another person because when something good is offered, a good review shall certainly be given and I’m proud to attest to how good the site has been for me and others I have recommended it to.
Honestly, reading the way you explained how these sites made their money through affiliate marketing sounds easier than I thought and it makes me believe that if you, and the owners of the other websites can do it, why can’t I?
Hopefully, when I sort my laptop issues out, I’ll come through to get tips from you on how to excel as an affiliate marketer as well.
Yes, making money with affiliate marketing is pretty simple and anyone can do it. Still, it requires lots of work and that’s why many people give up. They don’t see immediate results and they quit. However, I haven’t seen anyone failing who didn’t give up.
Nice article I really learned a lot because I’ve tried affiliate marketing in the past and its been really challenging because i have to put in a lot of time plus be patients and research and no positive results because I didn’t know what to do.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I also hit my head to the wall with affiliate marketing for a long time until I found great ways. It took me 2 years to get my daily website traffic from 0 -> 600 but in 2 months I made it from 600 -> 1,500. So, the growth is really exponential and once you find something that works you’ll achieve huge results. It requires patience when you don’t see immediate results but it’s worth it in the end.
Good suggestions I think, am only familiar with one, (languages are easy) amongst all other sites listed in the post.
Languages are easy is probably one of the most informative sites i’ve come across. Thanks to the recommendations on the site, am able to speak a little German and French through some brilliant tools and mediums which serves way better than the conventional means of learning a new language.
Affiliate making isn’t really my thing. I’ve tried to work on a few but I always seem to back out due to its demanding processes. Being successful with affliate marketing requires a lot of time, effort, sometimes money and above all, patience.
I’m glad to hear Rumu that you have enjoyed my website LanguagesAreEasy.com and found it helpful. I’ve received positive feedback from many people saying it has been really helpful for their language learning journey. It gives me a great satisfaction to help people and earn money at the same time 😀
You are right that affiliate marketing requires patience. I’ve seen so many people starting and quitting fast because they didn’t have enough patience to wait for the results. On the other hand, I haven’t seen anyone failing who just didn’t give up.
The process that Wealthy Affiliate teaches for affiliate marketing is proven to work and thousands of people have been able to make a living by implementing their methods and techniques.
This is such an awesome article. It really gives me an idea on what to do and what I need to learn about affiliate marketing. I tried to do affiliate marketing before and it was all but a bad experience of not knowing what to do and ends up getting nothing.
Hi Ford,
thanks for sharing your experience. I believe it can be a bad experience if you didn’t have a proper guidance or training and you didn’t know what to do. I recommend taking a look at the step-by-step training on Wealthy Affiliate. I also offer my 1-on-1 support for all people who sign up through my website. I’m 100% sure you can make good money if you try again. Of course, it requires work but in my opinion anything worthwhile in life requires work and effort.
