What are some tips for integrating affiliate links in a blog?

[Moseschidera]

I'm just getting started with adding affiliate links to my blog and want to do it properly. For those of you experienced with promoting affiliate products through your writing, what are some of your best tips?
I know the most important thing is to provide value to readers without it feeling like one big sales pitch. But how can I subtly and naturally mention a related product in a way that comes across as a genuine recommendation rather than an overly commercial plug? Any advice on finding the right balance would be much appreciated.
