How to Make Money Blogging

Everyone can create a blog, and it is not too difficult. However, if we talk about make money blogging, probably many bloggers still do not understand how. In this article, I try to share my experience on how to make money from a blog.

It would be better if we planned first what the purpose of building a blog, and how we will monetize the blog. Each person's experience will be different in building blog. Some people build a blog just for fun, and other bloggers do activities with clear objectives. In this case I was a blogger who had a clear goal in building a blog, i.e. make money blogging.

I've built several blogs with different categories. Every blog that I developed have been making money from some programs although still relatively small, but it could add my income every month. There are some program that I follow and able to make money from that.

Affiliate Program

Join in affiliate program is one way to make money from blogs. It should be noted that affiliate program we should follow according to blog topic that we build. For example a blog about internet marketing topics, the affiliate program that we follow have to deal with this niche.

My experience when building a blog for affiliate programs, firstly I will determine what products I would sell, then I started a blog. For example, when I build a blog to promote electronic products, I did some research beforehand. What products will be promoted, what keywords that can support the SEO, and how to build content?

That we must consider is the content of blog that we build must have a value and benefit to audience. The better your content, the possibility of sales converting of blog is getting higher.

Some affiliate programs that can be your references are Amazon.com and Clickbank.com

Offer Advertising Space in Blog

A blog which has high traffic is usually easier to get potential advertisers. Because the greater traffic you get, will be even greater chance of visitors to click on ads on blog. To offer existing space for advertising on your blog, you can create or join independent advertising program PPC (pay per click). A great PPC program and followed by many bloggers is Google AdSense.

What must be considered is product or website that we're advertising must be match to the topic of the blog that we build. For example the topic of your blog is internet marketing business opportunity, then the type of advertising that you can receive is a product or a website related to niche.

We should not accept ads that promote products that are completely unrelated to blog niche as this will confuse visitors and conversions are usually bad. For example your website on internet marketing, then you put ads from the advertiser who promotes clothing products.

Marketing Services or Products You Own

This means you have a business that wants to offer to your audience. I often find blogs that are made in a creative way, the blogger writes a blog about his daily activities, hobbies, and also expertise in a particular field. We often find that kind of blogs right?

Well, the blog owner sells products, hobbies, or services, to the readers of their blog. So, besides getting friends and share thought on the internet, they also get revenue by selling expertise or products on the blog. Very creative…!!

If you are from the beginning intend to sell a product, you can open an online store. Currently online store favored by internet users because of the way shopping is easy and efficient.

Product Review

This activity is usually referred as Paid for Review. There are many companies that want their business featured on other people's blogs. Typically these companies are willing to pay quite expensive for an article review. The amount of the cost of a product reviews depends on the blog itself, the more traffic you have and has a high rating, the greater payment you receive for review a product.

To do this review business, you can do it yourself or through a paid program like Socialspark.com, PayPerPost.com, Linkfromblog.com and much more.

If you do own, you should make a proposal that offering advertising and sent to advertiser via email. I suggest if your blog is still new and not yet crowded, do not use this method, because advertiser will certainly refuse. Join paid review program will be the right choice.

Sell Your Blog

This is the last way that maybe we can choose to make money blogging. It would be very hard to sell a blog that we have built with difficulty, but if you have no time or no longer able to manage your blog, you can choose this option.

Selling ​​blog would be difficult if we do not know how or do not have a network that can help it. But you can join in forums trading that sell and buy blogs and websites such as digitalpoint.com. Or you can list your blog at flippa.com to be auctioned.

Actually there are many more ways that you can use to monetize your blog. I will not discuss all of them because it will make you more confused determine the program that you will follow. Some programs that I have described above is a program that is usually followed by the bloggers. If you can focus on the one or several program, you can earn a very good income. It could even exceed the income from your main job.

So what are you waiting? Let's make money blogging...!
