5 Ways To Make Money With Blogs
Copyright © 2006 Mal Keenan

There are hundreds of ways to make money on the internet, but most oversee the idea of making money with blogs.  Blogs are a great way to promote articles, discuss various ideas, and promote your website itself.  However, there are several ways you can make money with blogs as well.  Here are 5 ways to make money with blogs.

1. Sell advertising The most common way people make money with blogs is selling advertising.  If you build a large blog you can sell advertising space for people to put their ads on your blog.  However, a majority of people aren’t capable of building a blog big enough to do this.  That is where Google AdSense and BlogAds can help you.  It is free and they pay you based on the number of people that click their ads for further information.

2. Sell your products A blog is a great place to discuss advice and opinions on various subjects.  It can also be a great place to promote your product and tell them how it can benefit them.  Whether it’s your blog or someone else’s, look at it as an opportunity to fulfill peoples’ needs, not that you are just selling your product.

3. Affiliate programs This is a great way to make money with blogs that hardly anyone even considers.  By mentioning the product, the affiliate program will provide you with a clickable link to hyperlink the word with.  This way if people are interested in your blog post and click on the product word, they are directed to the affiliate program website where you make commission on all products they buy.

4. Sell your website It may seem cliché because everyone sells their own website and business through blogs.  However, it is your approach that can mean the difference of you making money with blogs or not.  If you spend the whole time talking you will seem uninterested in others’ insight.  If you incorporate others’ thoughts and opinions and strike up a conversation with little bits and pieces about your business, you soon will have them reeled in.  By talking about their business and showing interest you will find that more people are interested in your business in turn.

5. Consistency The more you post the more chances people have to see you and your website link.  It is vital that you make one post a day or at minimum a few a week.  This way people become accustomed to seeing your posts and hearing your advice or questions.  This is a great way to build relationships, which will help you sell your product, share ideas, and promote your website.

If you take the time to put in the effort in blogs you can easily make money with blogs.  There are some people that make a living through making money with blogs.  However it is commitment, consistency, and your approach that can either break your or make you money with blogs.
