If you are blogging for some time now, sure you
have found out some material on the different ways to
earn money of your own blog. May some bloggers tell you that they
don’t blog for money, but I can imagine the excitement
that comes with earning some amount of income from blogging even if blogger
don't looks for money. On the other hand, some newbie and struggling
bloggers see very little amount of money of their blogs or nothing at all,
others are comfortably banking satisfactory amounts daily and
monthly. In this post, as I revisit some of the different ways to generate
income from your blog, I’d want you to comment and
tell us what works best for you (that’s if you are already generating income blogging).
Here you are the most common 6 ways to make
money with your blog. While these may not be new to you, they don’t
produce the same results. You can confirm that some give more
money than others.
1
- Ad sales/Banner advertising
This is a well known method to generate income
from your blog. Generally, you will find bloggers selling banners
ad space (468×60, 125×125, 300×250, etc) on their blogs and making some money.
While average blogs charge between charge between $10
and $50 per month, some big guys charge up to $500+ per space.
2 – Affiliate
Marketing.
In this way, you set links on your blog and getting paid commissions when some action (sales, email submit, etc) takes place. Banners and text links are the common ways of doing this.
3 –
Contextual Advertising
This is a form of targeted advertising where ads are selected and served by automated systems based on the content displayed. Generally, the automated system scans the text of a Web site for keywords and returns ads to the Web page based on what the user is viewing. Yes! Bloggers make money with such systems
4 –
Selling your own product
This is definitely the best long term and profitable way to generate income from your blog. With this, you keep all the profits, build a buyers’ list and establish yourself as an expert in the industry.
5 – Reviews
This is another excellent way to generate extra income. There are two review options: 1 write about any product or service and link to it through an affiliate program, earning a commission on any sales. – 2 Get paid a set price to do a review on your blog
6 – Adsense
If you are looking for another way to make quick and few drops of income from your blog, Google adsense is a quick way to go. While this may not make you rich, it may go as long as paying your hosting fee The bad practice
The drive to make money blogging has pushed many bloggers to killing their blogs. They get their blogs stuffed and suffocated with ads as they try to occupy every space with ads. This is bad practice. You can still use all these methods and make a decent income while keeping your blog airy, clean and attractive to humans.
Now, you are surely using one or more of these methods. Tell us what works best for you…
