How to make money blogging
Jan 29th
There are two ways of making money blogging. Here are the two possibilities: you either get paid for allowing other business owners to advertise on your site, or you can market one of the many affiliate programs that enjoy popularity on the Internet on your own blog. There are ways to determine which affiliate programs are most popular. You can check ClickBank, Ebay and Amazon websites to find the top 20 selling products. This should give you some feel for what the public wants to buy.
Small business owners find a great advantage in the use of blogs that provide rich informational content and the opportunity for great marketing promotions. Let’s take a look at how you can turn blogging into a profitable activity.
Should you choose to exploit the advertising potential of your blog, the best program to work with is Google Adsense. You will get paid every time an ad on your site gets clicked, regardless of whether this action converts into profit or not. The logical question that may rise here is: how can you get more clicks for the ads on the blog? Don’t think about clicking your own ads to make some more money because Google teams are very efficient at identifying frauds. Such dishonest practices could cost you dearly if you are foolish enough to try to pump yourself with your own clicks.
You can increase the profitability of the ads on your blog by taking graphics into consideration when you design the site. For instance, the fonts and colors used for the ads should be such that there is strong contrast between the words in the background field. You want the ad to visually kick. This is best done by using known visual contrasting combinations such as white letter words against black backgrounds, black letters against a medium yellow background or an orange background, dark blue against an orange background. Why? Because the more powerful the contrast, the more the eye notices them. Obviously the color combination has to work with the overall color of the blog theme. Look at other peoples’ blogs and see what you like as far as visual harmony and ease of reading. Then incorporate those with some of the ideas you get. Remember, Adsense is a program that displays only those ads that are related to the domain subject the blog references, because you don’t want irrelevant visitors.
Last, but not least, you can use the blog as part of an affiliate program, which involves promoting the products or services of a specific business. For instance if you’ve got a blog dealing with diving, you can very well turn into an affiliate for a company that sells diving equipment. The percentage commission you are supposed to get is usually part of the individual agreement you sign with the other party. How well you manage to use the blog to drive traffic and to receive backlinks will determine how many viewers are coming to the site and even clicking on the affiliate link to see if they want the product. Friendly links, special discounts, give away programs and other promotions as well as powerful sales copy in your email letters are all part of an affiliate campaign that could turn a simple blog into a great revenue generator.
