7 Great Ways To Make Money With Your Blog

If you have followed my previous lessons on this blog, you must have discovered now that my main passion is getting you to learn how to blog and be paid for it.
I do so many things to get information so that you can have the best tricks to make money with your blog.
I recently discovered 7 great ideas some great bloggers are using to earn huge income online. I invite you to get settled and enjoy this secrets sourced from www.bloggintruths.com
'There are a lot of methods of earning money from your blogs which are used by many bloggers including me. Let’s have an in-depth view of the methods of earning money from blogs and check how effective is each method. I’ve used some of them successfully in my other blogs but as this blog is new I’ve not used all these methods here in BloggingTruths.Com.
Please note that the numbering is my innovation to this article

1 Publishing Adsense Ads In Blog This is the method used by every people in their blog. You need to show advertisements of ad companies like Google’s Adsense and they pay you according to the number of people who click their advertisements in you websites. You get paid per click your give to the advertisements. You may earn from $.01 to $1 per clicks in adsense. So to start earning showing/publishing ads of adsense signup for a free adsense account using your site/blog (to create a new adsense account you must have a general site or blog). Using adsense a normal blog with good traffic optimised for adsense may make up to $500/month. But about $120/month (25000 unique visitors/month - a case study) is what you expect from blogs with good traffic but with less conversions. Every 10 visitors to your blog may click a ad each earning you $5 if adsense is optimized, or those 10 clicks may earn you $.50. It all depends on quality of ads shown by adsense in your blogs. Some blogs get huge traffic but few clicks so earn less. Still adsense has become most popular in earning money from websites, might not be most money earner when it comes to blogs. Adsense ads are contextual i.e. as per your content so you get more clicks. They pay by cheque (this payment method is used by Indians including me) and other methods like wire transfer, western union money transfer (newly introduced suitable for Asians-Indians).

2. Publishing PPC Ads Other Than Adsense Other than adsense there are PPC ad networks whose ads you can show in your blogs and earn money on clicks basis.AdBrite is considered best money earner next to adsense when it comes to PPC (Paid Per Click). Adbrite pays you per click it’s ads get on your blog, also pays on CPM basis i.e. some $$/ every 1000 impressions their ads get.

Considering PPC ads for blogs Widget Bucks is a new ad network which requires you to show a nicely designed widget in sidebar of your blogs and earn up to $.75/clicks the links in this widget get from your blogs. Also they are giving $25 in free after you sign up and minimum payout is $50. So signup for a free account at widget bucks and straightly get $25, shows widget in your blog and make another $25 quickly and get paid.

There are many other PPC adnetworks floating around in internet and they all are not quite recommended for blogs.

3. Affiliate Marketing Get Paid For Action Yes many bloggers earn a great deal using this. Just sign up as affiliate for different products related to your blog’s content and get paid when your affiliate link makes your user buy that product i.e. he buys using your link and you get your commissions. Clickbank and Commission Junction are most preferred sites for affiliate programs and products giving commissions as they have huge market place. So have a free account at those sites. get your links for related products (search for it) and show in blog in sidebar or posts and get paid for action like signups, sale etc. Also adsense has it’s referral products like Adsense, Adwords others where you are paid to refer others to use these services free. Amazon.Com has a referral or affiliate program where you build a mini store with it’s products and get commissions for sales.

4. Showing Live Ebay Auctions In Blogs You may use Auction Ads that shows some related ebay auctions in your blog and when some one bids for that item in ebay using your links and wins it you get a nice commission but he needs to win that bid which may not be possible. You can read my review on Auction Ads to know if it works or not for blogs. Also here if you signup for free publisher account at auction ads you earn $25 free.

5. Showing CPM Ads In Blogs When you show CPM Banners in your page you get paid about $0.5 per 1000 pageviews/impressions to your blog. No need of clicks but never recommended as it makes your blog tidy. YieldManager is most preferred adnetwork in case of CPM. These ads are annoying and your visitors never like it.

6. Get Paid To Write Honest Reviews Or Posts Regarding Some Services/Products In Your Blog - This is the biggest money maker for any/every blogger in this blogging world. John Chow makes more than $10,000 per month writing paid reviews or sponsored blog posts in his blog. If you have a blog then you can earn huge money by writing posts regarding products/services of advertisers by saying nothing but your honest opinion or review on that product. You get more review offers and are paid more for each review if your blog has good Google Pagerank (PR 4 is good), Good Alexa Rank, Good Number Of Feed Subscribers. But for new blogs like us this is not easy as google updates pagerank only in quarterly. If you want to earn writing paid reviews in your blog you may sign up for free accounts at top review marketplaces sites like ReviewMe, PayPerPost, Smorty and many others and add your blogs to get them approved. In such sites that are meant for paid posts advertisers look to buy paid posts or reviews about their product from several blogs, so when you add your blogs the advertisers know about your blogs. ReviewMe advertisers usually pay more for reviews and smorty.com is good for new blogs out there as it does not have any rules like min blog age = 90 days like PayPerPost and ReviewMe have and page rank 0 blogs are accepted. Some advertisers just want some link backs in review and are suspected to pay for links only not honest review. You have all rights and control over reviews. You may watch my review on smorty.

7. Earn Selling Text Links In Blogs If you have a blog with good pagerank then many people would like to pay you monthly to have their links in your blog’s sidebar or other places. Either you have to sign up for text link advertisement market places or brokers like TLA and TNX.NET and LinkWorth and you need to pay them some commissions for every link sold in your site. A single link can fetch you $30-$100/month if you have pagerank 5 or above and links are quality and placed in perfect places. Using TNX.NET you can sell links in separate pages separately to different people and earn TNX points.

Either you join several advertisement programs to get advertisers show ads on your blog in any form or offer advertisements in your blog using the blog itself without any ad network. It solely depends on you. We would have detailed post on each of the above methods.'
