Over the past few years Blogging has seen a tremendous increase in popularity with more people blogging now than ever before. Now can I be honest with you? A fair amount of people (including myself) are making a fair living from blogging alone. So, I thought it necessary to really break down what you need to do to make some $$$ from this ever so lucrative so called hobby.
#1 Google Advertising
Although this is one of the most popular ways to make money from your blog it is also one of the very easiest to set up. You can put an ad, powered by Google, on your blog and every time someone clicks on that ad you make an amount of money. Depending on your niche market, you can earn from roughly $.25 to about $14-15 dollars every time someone clicks on the advertisement. Theses ads can go anywhere on your blog, but tends to go on either the very top of your blog or far left hand side. If you choose this method you need to set up a Google AdWords account (free) and go through the easy to follow tutorials that help you set it up.
#2 Affiliate Promotions
This is a fairly popular option as there has recently been a large increase in affiliate type promotional activity on blogs. Basically what you do is find a niche related product in your field, say an eBook or video and become an affiliate of that product. Then you put that product on your blog and any direct sales that you make through your site you get paid a commission. The best site to find quality affiliate products is clickbank.com but alternatively you can just Google your niche and try to find an affiliate product related to it. This is a really easy way to make money from your blog that is overlooked by most.
#3 Capture Page
This is the best way to make money from your blog long term. Although the other two will benefit you short term, this option will keep a sustainable amount of income in the long run. What you do is set up and put a "capture page" or "squeeze page" (Google these terms if you're unsure of their meaning) on a important place on your blog that most readers see. You could offer a free report in your niche area as an incentive to join up. Then you collect the names and emails of any readers interested and build a list. This way you could build up a reputable relationship with each one and sell them something related to your niche at a later date.
From Practice I have found that this option is by far the best way to earn money from your blog. Long term profit is always the greatest revenue option for any business and your internet business should be no different.
These methods are quite simple to adopt but I have found that many people still have a fair amount of trouble with creating their blog, create their account, finding an effective title, choosing an attractive template, posting blogs and many more essential parts of blogging.
