Blogging For Money

Blogging For Money
by Scott Lindsay

While most of the bloggers don't care about money, but about
exposure, there are some making pretty decent earnings with
blogs. The question is: how much? Well, that depends on the
method used by the blogger, the traffic he or she can attract
to the blog, the value of the post and so on. If you are
willing to win some money with a blog, there are a few
possibilities.

There are various ways to make money from a blog: advertising,
including the famous ads by Google (AdSense), affiliate
marketing, the controversial pay-per-post current, the actual
blogging job and donations:

1. While AdSense is not so difficult to master - all you need
to do is insert a code provided by Google into the HTML of your
blog and Google will display on it ads related to the content.
Each click on the ads will bring you a few cents. High value
keywords may even bring you larger amounts. Google is not the
only pay-per-click program provider. Even Yahoo! has a similar
plan. It's up to you what you choose.

2 To win money through affiliate programs requires more efforts:
you need to place links to merchants. These links should be
appealing - to determine visitors to take action. And writing
"sales links" is not such an easy task.

3. The third method is known as pay-per-post. Many advertisers
are willing to pay bloggers to post advertisements or news on
their blogs. The purpose is to build traffic and gain back
links that will boost their search engine rankings. There are
plenty of online firms offering such an opportunity to
bloggers. Some examples of sites where bloggers could make
money blogging are: http://www.weblogsinc.com/,
http://www.soulcast.com/, or http://payperpost.com/.

4. Firms are looking to hire professional bloggers. There are
already job portals for bloggers on the Internet and job
postings for bloggers on many websites. If you are looking for
a blogging job check out Problogger: http://www.problogger.net/
and the blogger jobs board you find onsite.

5. A less popular method is used by bloggers who ask their
readers to "donate" some money to help them keep the blog
going. It may come as a surprise, but many visitors do act on
such requests, especially when they find something really
interesting and they enjoy reading the blog

These four methods are what bloggers call "making money with a
blog." Professional bloggers know a more effective method:
"making money as a result of a blog." This is the case for many
writers, SEO experts, web gurus and online entrepreneurs. If we
think about it, even big corporations understand the importance
of a having a blog and what huge revenues they could get as a
result of having a blog. That's great news for passionate
bloggers looking to make a living online (remember the forth
method of making money with a blog?)

As a conclusion, blogs are great to share knowledge, but, with
some skills and experience plus a touch of really valuable
content, they could generate some fine profits for their
owners.
