My Blog. My Money. 1 OF 2
Below are simple suggestions on how to take your blog to the next level that means making it earn and profit even while you are sleeping. These are already proven and tried by many bloggers. You may ask which one is the best. Well, that will depend on how much you are willing to learn, amount of time you have to further enhance your blog, how many readers and members you have, etc.
Sell advertisement space
It is no doubt that offering advertisement spaces on your blog remains the most widely used means in making extra cash. Adsense and Blogads are two popular services for ad programs. For every click on a specific ad, Adsense will pay the publisher a specific rate. The ads come in 3 format styles and are related to the content of your blog. So if your blog is about good entrepreneurship books that you have read expect Adsense to give you ads associated with different books on entrepreneurship and other related topics. On the other hand, Blogads charges a certain percentage of the publisher’s net income for each ad placement. The remaining of the income is sent to the publisher through Paypal or by check once you attain a predetermined amount.
Help other people sell products and services
You could mention a specific book on one of your book reviews. Once click by a reader, it shall go to Amazon.com or LinkShare pages where more detailed information about that book are available. These companies pay a certain commission once the reader decided to purchase something.
Put text links
For those publishers who want to avoid space consuming ads, text links may be the one for you. It is a link present on the publisher’s site. The objective of the advertiser is to boost the value of specific sites in search engines. Most text links are placed on non-premium locations such as the bottom of the pages. Text links are recommended for bloggers who want more control of the ads on their sites. They can easily select which text links are relevant to their sites.
Sell your own products
If you think you have the charisma and what it takes to sell your own personal brand then why not offer your own merchandise. Products like mugs, caps, t-shirts are just few items you could advertise on your blog. Once you already have regular readers and they believe and trust your character then there is no harm in trying this technique.
