6 Ways to Make Money With a Blog

To profit by blogging is an elusive quest for some. But some proven techniques work for a lot of bloggers. Learning strategies could be your key to profit. Knowledge is power.

Some of these techniques you may have thought of, but some you may not have. Here are a few of the more unorthodox ways to profit by blogging:

(1). Flipping Blogs

Same as flipping websites. You can flip blogs and make some pretty serious cash. You set it up, start traffic building to get an audience, and in a few months, sell it while it's in a position to generate some good cash for someone who's looking. Keep good stats and do some good advertising, and you can actually profit from the hundreds up into the thousands.

(2). Donations

Many bloggers nowadays leave a message on their blog asking for donations. This is an excellent idea, and if the website provides a good service, this is entirely proper.

(3). Business Blogs

Almost any company, or any organization has a blog in today's world. The use of blogs to get their message out is a huge boost to their profits. Some hire bloggers to run these sites for them. If you can run a good blog, you may consider applying to a company for running one for them.

(4). Blog Networks

Most any blogger can pick up extra work writing for other blogs. Bloggers are in constant need of content that will draw people to their site and interest them in what the theme of the blog is about. Sometimes these can lead to long-term work, netting a good profit for you.

(5). Products

You can hardly visit a blog today without seeing products for sale pertaining to the theme of the blog. You can sell products through your own website or through Cafe' Press. If your blog brings in a lot of traffic, then you should be getting lots of sales.

(6). Consulting

Another way to profit from blogging is in the area of consulting. You can advertise yourself as an authority on whatever your market niche is, and rake in a pretty tidy sum just through offering your services as a consultant.

Always look at an endeavor for money making through the eyes of a 'Pros and Cons' list. This will help you tell if its a worthy endeavor or probably a waste of time. Blogging for many is quite lucrative, and with time and effort anyone can become a successful blogger. A little dedication and flexibility in learning can land you on the road to making a profit by blogging.
