digg

If you are a blogger who is losing interest because you can’t make money with your blog, then here’s some motivation. It may be true that the profits we make off something is what keeps us motivated to working on something and making fresh content. If you want to start and consistently be making money online, then you’ll have to start with a decent Page Rank and traffic. Here are the most effective ways to make money with your blog that have been tested and worked on by experts.
Sign up for Google AdSense
This is the one of the simplest, easiest and most popular of ways to make money with your blog. You will find this program as highly-recommended on sites of bloggers that are actually making money online. It’s a pay-per-click program, so all you’ll need for it is decent traffic. Other ways may be more effective to some, but if you’re just starting out, I suggest you start with Google AdSense.
Sell Text Links in Your Blogs
Blogs, like other way of making money online, need decent traffic to work. Once you achieve good traffic, you can slip text links relevant to your articles “inside” your articles, as different posts, or as “sponsored links” on the side of your blogs.

Make money with Blog

Sell Text Ads through Networks
You can further increase your ability to profit from your blog by signing up for networks that allow you to buy and sell text ads like TextLinkAds. If you have a page rank above three, money will flow into your account every month from the Text Link marketplace. With this done properly, you will be earning money at a rate of thousands a month.
Sell Banner Ads in Your Blogs
Selling banner ads using your blogs will allow you to better communicate with the advertisers, and get your hard earned money without any cuts or shares with anybody else. The way to do this is of course to create an “Advertise Here” page, but additional methods like using networking sites and e-mails to contact potential advertisers may also help.
Sell Banner Ads through Networks
Just like increasing your income with text ads by joining text-link networks, you can also increase your earnings with banner ads by joining banner-advertising networks. These include BuySellAds, AdvertisingSpace, among many others. Correctly using sites like BuySellAds, you will be making money online with figures of more than thousands of dollars in a few months time. Obviously, the amount of money you’ll earn from this will depend on your traffic, page rank, blog design, and such.
Selling Affiliate Products
Compared to earning with Google AdSense and the like, you can earn more, much more from selling affiliate products of big companies. If you have a blog that revolves around a specific niche, and are able to target customers into your blogs, this is a recommended way of making money online. Some popular affiliate websites that pay you for selling their products include Amazon and E-junkie. Of course, you will need a good blog to apply to affiliate your blog with theirs.
Paid Blogging
I had a great success in making good amount of money doing reviews through paid blog networks. Some examples of sites that pay you for reviews, articles and such are SponsoredReviews, Smorty, and BlogsVertise. This method’s all about content, you make good blog stuff, you get paid for good blog stuff.
In-Text Advertising
This is a creative method where specific keywords within the text of a web-page are matched with advertising and relevant information. In-text advertising is only effective if you can generate thousands of clicks from search engines every day. One popular in-text advertising network I would recommend as “worth trying” is Infolinks.
Selling your Services
It’s a fact that the prime way to turning blogs into profits is turning readers into customers. I’ve seen bloggers selling services like Blogger to WordPress Migration, Thesis theme Customization, WordPress Optimization etc. and making thousands from the business. This method is what requires the most experience and knowledge of blogs.
Membership Websites
Lastly, a good but difficult method will be creating a membership website that gets paid big money if you can recruit lots of subscribed members. If you want to make money with your blog this way, I recommend the Magic Members WordPress plug-in to get you started.
There are actually tons of other ways to make money from your blogs, but these ten methods have been tested and proven by experts and bloggers. If you want to try them to profit online, be sure to read back on the guidelines. Good luck!
