So you want to make money blogging but are not quite sure the best route to go. Well have a read of these six ways to see if you can start earning online with a blog.
1- Sell Other Peoples Products
This one is more commonly known as affiliate marketing. Using your blog you will promote the products of other people or companies who in turn will give you a commission for doing so.
You will be given a link that is unique to you, to put on your blog that a reader can click on. A decent company will also give you lots of other ways to promote their products. This link will then take them to the companies sales page where your reader can purchase a product resulting in you getting paid.
2- Advertising Space
Once your blog starts to get a decent flow of traffic you might want to consider putting ads on there. You could put ads from Google on there, known as Adsense. These are particularly good for people with blogs that don’t have a huge readership but enough to warrant adverts. Every time someone clicks on an ad you get paid. Nothing has to be sold just a click will do to earn some money.
3-Ask For Money
Some people get a bit embarrassed about this one as they feel like their begging but your not, your just asking for a payment to a service you provide such as giving great content on your blog. Now your never going to get rich with this one but it might pay for a decent meal each week. The best way to do this is to put the Pay Pal logo on your site that they can click on and make a contribution with.
4-Promote Your Services
Use your blog to highlight any service you offer that you could charge someone for. Why not write some articles on your blog that really show your expertise in your particular field and then promote your offer either within the article or with an advert next to it.
5- Cement Existing Relationships
If you already have a business and already have customers then use your blog to stay in touch with them and at the same time use it to show them of the different skills you have that they may have not originally seen when they first used your services.
6-Paid Article Writing
Depending on the popularity of your blog you can be paid to write articles that give a fair and honest assessment of a particular product. You will write the article and then post it on your blog allowing the readers to view it and of course go to the companies site. You only get paid for the article and not the sale and be careful not to have too many of these on your blog as it will slowly scare your readers away because your blog starts to look like one huge advert.
So there you go Six ways to make money blogging. All of them work, you just need to take action. Its not difficult to do any of them. Some may need a bit more time than others but it beats going to work for 40 years.
