Making Money With Your Blog

October 19, 2009 · Filed Under Uncategorized 

Good traffic plus good offers makes for good money.

There’s lots of ways to make money on your blog. Here are just a few.

* Links to your sales pages. Blogs are a great way to attract traffic, and then send that traffic to the pages that make you money.
* Google Adsense. Google’s advertising program is a great hands-off, automatic way to make money on your website.
* Affiliate Ads. Go find products in the same field as your blog’s topic. Download the banner ad the merchant will provide to you, or make your own. Add your affiliate link, and you’re done.
* Sell banner ads. Yes, banner ads are still alive and well on the web. You’ve got to have a lot of traffic for anyone to bother to pay for ads on your site.
* Paid Links. These are basically text-versions of banner ads. People will pay you for a link on your site to their site.
* Text link ads. There are several ad companies that will turn some of the text on your pages into text links. Advertisers pay for the link to the ad companies (like Chitika and Kontera), and the ad companies share that revenue with you. Neat. Effortless.

Okay, so there are a lot of ways to make money with blogs.

But when you’re just starting out, it’s best to leave your blog ad-free. Don’t be in a hurry to put Adsense and affiliate links on your blog from the beginning. At the very start, concentrate on getting into a regular rhythm of writing on your blog, moderating your comments, and building your traffic.

If you start out with one article, and 10 ads, the few new visitors that you’ll get probably won’t stay very long — or come back for more.

Of course, there’s lots more in this month’s Coaching Club about building your blog, driving traffic, and monetizing your blog.

Log in now to see it all, or attend this month’s webinars and open coaching calls each and every Thursday at Noon PDT, 3pm EDT.

    Question: People will pay me to their links on my blog? Is that worth it? Why would I want to encourage my potential customers to leave my website and go to someone else’s? Doesn’t Adsense accomplish the same result? I get paid a nickle to encourage visitors to leave? Help me understand why I should do this…

    Thanks,

    That does not make much sense, but if you want others to view your site more, you need to get it up on many other sites so that it has more potential. I have the site listed above on three websites already. Its not an easy world out there, but we have to find a way to make it. I am sure that you will find a way. If you need help putting it on sites, my yahoo IM ID is chrisquesenberry@yahoo.com,

    Thanks for your time,
