The value of blogging has been massively misunderstood by many if not most internet marketers. The majority of blogs which were originally intended to be used to make money online have simply faded into cyberspace without ever earning their owners a single cent of the income they expected to make. If this describes you or someone you know, this article can help you to turn things around.
There are a variety of ways to make money with your blog. One of the most common methods that bloggers use is to include Google AdSense on each one of the pages and blog posts. This can either be done manually or you can find a plugin that will insert the code automatically. The only thing that is required is to have an active AdSense account. While AdSense earnings may not be as lucrative as they were just a few years ago, you can still earn a lot of extra income simply by including the code on your blog.
Another common way to earn extra income using your blog is to include affiliate banner advertising. Be careful that you do not overdo the number and types of banners you include. They can quickly take away from the professionalism of your site if there are too many or if they styles and colors clash with the rest of the page. Banners can, however, generate affiliate income, especially if the topic is relevant to the rest of the content on your blog.
CPA or cost per action networks are another popular way to make money with your blog. These networks are not as easy to use since you have to apply and get accepted into the network before you can start earning money, but they can be extremely profitable simply by including the CPA offers on your site.
Selling advertising is another option for monetizing your blog. If you are generating a lot of traffic to your site, you can easily find advertisers who are willing to pay you to place ads on your blog. This is especially true if your blog is dedicated to a specific niche and your readers represent a highly targeted demographic. You can check out other blogs that focus on similar niches or markets to see what kinds of advertising might be appropriate.
Blogs are also an effective platform for earning affiliate commission through doing reviews of products and services. Writing detailed posts about a specific products can serve as a type of pre-sell page which can then direct the reader to the main sales page of the affiliate program you are promoting. This is probably one of the most common ways that internet marketers use their blogs to make money online.
The key to building a successful blog and monetizing it properly is staying as focused as possible on a specific niche and building up a following of readers who are interested in what you are writing about. You can either write the content yourself or have it outsourced. The more consistent you are both in terms of focus and how often you post to your blog will help you to earn more money with your blog with whatever method you choose.
