Making Money With Your Blog

If you are reading my blog right now, it is quite likely that you have a blog yourself. If you already have a blog, yet you don't have a Google AdSense account, you need to get one right away to make money with your blog. You can get one here: http://www.google.com/adsense

I think it's obvious why. Even if your blog is not getting a lot of traffic, you should still get a Google AdSense account. (It is great motivation when you make your first $10.00... it will drive you to start promoting your blog). But most of you already knew this, so the real challenge here is promoting your blog. I will get into that later. But driving high traffic isn't the only way to generate revenue from your blog.

Blogs are a good way to promote affiliate links. Please refer to my previous post on a similar subject, Creating a Review Site

If you already have a large reader base and a decent amount of traffic coming into your blog, you can make money using 'Pay Per Post' ads. Here are a couple of sites that offer these services.
  • Bloggingads.com - The site will send you a pre-written ad message which will be posted on your blog. You'll be paid once the blog post has been reviewed and approved.
  • Payperpost.com - You earn money by posting content on your blog based on the advertises requests. Payment makes to you after 30 days of the post.

If you write quality posts in your blog and have a decent sized reader base, you will likely get sponsored to post blog ads (that is, if you want to. Some people may say it ruins the integrity of your blog).

Try those resources out, tell me what you think.
