The Most Effective Ways to Make Money with Your Blog
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!
