How Bloggers Can Sell Products Directly from Posts

Content creators who publish blog posts and articles, looking to monetize their content beyond ads and affiliate links.

7 min readUpdated December 2025

The Problem with External Store Links

Traditional affiliate links have terrible conversion rates. Display ads pay pennies. Readers click away and never come back when sent to external stores.

Ad revenue requires massive traffic. Affiliate commissions are small. Selling products directly keeps more profit in your pocket.

Every click to an external store is a chance for your audience to get distracted, forget why they clicked, or abandon a slow-loading checkout. You need shopping that happens where your audience already is.

Over 600 million blogs worldwide with 77% of internet users reading them
