6 Ways To Make Money From Your Blog

Many of the people who write blogs simply want to share their opinion on something. While it may be fun to write about everything that interests you, you can also use your blogs to make extra money. Here are 6 ways to turn your blog into a moneymaker:

1. Contextual advertising program

You can sign up free and then integrate a given code to the page where you want the ads to appear. The advertising network automatically checks your web page and determines the most relevant ads for the page. Without much effort from you, you get ads targeted at the interests of your visitors. You get paid every time someone clicks on an ad.

2. Advertising space

If your blog has a particular niche, you can approach companies selling similar products or services for ads. But most companies would only put ads if your blog has high traffic.

3. Affiliate programs
Affiliate links are provided by companies that will pay you a certain percentage of each sale/lead made through your unique link. Most of them are free to sign up and very easy to implement.

4. Pay per post
There are various companies and websites who pay bloggers to post details of their product or service on the blog and add a link to their website. It is important that your blog is focused on a specific niche.

5. Selling goods and services
You can sell ebooks, telecourses or consulting services through your blog. You will get a commission each time someone buys a product you recommend.

6. Sponsorship
Blog sponsorship ranges from obvious “advertising” blogs that are squarely focused on a company’s product through adding a company’s name, logo and brand, to blogs with “Sponsored by…” put at the beginning of the advertising post to make it appear less intrusive. You have to have enough traffic to attract sponsorship.
