Learning How to Make Money Blogging
By onslaught82
There are quite a few ways that you can create an income from your blog. I will cover a couple here.
The first and most common way to turn a blog into a profit making machine is to sell advertising to different companies and brands who want to reach that blog's readers.
Another kind of money making blog is one that helps a single brand improve its image by creating positive associations between the blog and the product in the mind of consumers.
These are two of many methods that can be used to create profits from your blog.
If selling advertising is your main goal you have a couple of choices, you can use established services that are ready to go or you can go out on your own and look for sponsors for you blog.
Within the first group, many people make money blogging by selling space through Google's AdSense program.
The advantages of this program are numerous, as it requires very little effort on the part of the blogger or webmaster to begin raking in profits.
But the income generated by using the third party services can be a lot lower then most bloggers expected.
Selling advertising directly to companies who want to put banner ads or sponsored links on your blog can take quite a bit of time, but it is often fairly lucrative.
If you are working in a niche that you know well the first thing you should do is try to contact others in that niche that you think might benefit from advertising on your blog.
If you are an experienced in sales and have experience with cold call sales you might be able to build up a lucrative income by looking for related websites that might be interested in advertising on your blog.
The biggest problem with either of these method is that you usually have to build up a good amount of traffic to the site or good search engine ranking before people will be interested in placing advertisements with you.
Today people, companies and even politicians are aware of the power of a blog and they are all trying to carve out their own little section of the blogosphere.
Some companies have their own blogs that they run in house to provide information about their products and services.
Other companies will want to outsource their blogging to experienced bloggers that will let them get the brand recognition and build a relationship with the customer through a third party endorsement.
It isn't uncommon for a blogger that is getting a lot of exposure to be approached by a company and suddenly find that their blog is making them a good income. - 18098
