How to Blog | Lesson 3
Now that you’ve learned the basics of How to Blog and how to set up your blog we’ll move on to how to make money from your blog!
There are many ways to make money from blogging. It basically comes down to advertising though. Ads equal dollars! There is also a traffic factor there without an audience your blog isn’t worth much but in my opinion it’s worth setting up some ways to make money and then work on the traffic. Affiliate programs and pay per click ads cost your nothing to set up and are ready to make you money when you start getting traffic to your site.
A couple of places I use and have been paid from are:
I use:
Logical Media – great for coupon sites
My Savings Media – great for coupon sites
Info Links – are links within the text of your blog that are double underlined. This is a pay per click company.
Escalate Network – great for coupon sites
Amazon great for making commissions on just about any product you can think of that you might want to blog about.
You can also offer ad space on your site and take payments through Paypal. You’ll want to share your traffic stats with potential advertisers so they know if they are getting their monies worth. If you need a way to track your traffic I suggest Stat Counter.
You can also offer to do a blog post for an advertiser for a monetary fee. Again, you want to have stats on hand.
Should you decide to monetize your blog it’s important to have a disclosure on your site. You can easily create one at http://www.disclosurepolicy.org
