To earn money from your blog you have to monetize it. How you do this will depend on the readers you attract.
What is a Blog?
Blogging is like a diary. You post often about your chosen subject. Anyone can blog, we all have our own views, opinions and information that others find interesting.
How to make money from your blog
PPC which means pay per click is the most common way of making money from your blog. You put ads on your blog, and you get paid when someone clicks on them. The programs that most bloggers use are AdSense and bidvertiser.
Use your blog to promote affiliate products. You simply join a affiliate program and promote the products using your unique code. You then get paid a commission for every sale or lead.
You can sell ad space on your blog which we discussed in the previous post. You must though, make sure you have plenty traffic before anyone will consider advertising with you.
Can you make lots of money from a blog?
The amount of money you will make will depend on many things. First thing you need to do is make sure your blog is interesting. Make sure your blog is about something you know lots about and have plenty to say.
Secondly you need to make sure your traffic is targeted. It is not about quantity but rather it is about quality. If someone for example is a golfer and stumbles on your cooking blog. Will they stay and read your posts? Highly unlikely. This is where Internet Marketing comes in. Successful bloggers are also Internet marketers.
I will close this subject for now and let you digest. I will though write another post soon about how to market you blog and how to make sure your posts are interesting. These are vital ways to ensure you make money from your blog.
