As blogs gets more and more sophisticated, both in terms of the software used to create them and
the uses to which they can be put, the potential to make money from them has proportionally
increased. Anyone with a basic grasp of blogging technology, a penchant for hard work and a
determination to succeed can make a a good income through blogging. But most bloggers don't
for two simple reasons.
a) They overestimate the number of potential viewers who will visit their site and the amount of
revenue their blogs can generate. Such inflated predictions invariably lead to disappointment when
they fail to achieve their hoped for targets and the blogger loses interest.
b) Most novice bloggers hear or read about the ease with which large sums of money can be
earned through blogging and think that just setting up a blog and adding content to it at regular
intervals is sufficient to accomplish the same goal. The key to making money from blogs is to
formulate a detailed and cogent plan of action and nurture it to fruition.
Having a large readership is fundamental if you want to make a good living off blogging. The more
viewers your blog attracts, the greater the chances are that quality sponsors will want to advertise
on it. However, everyday finds more and more new blogs being posted, so standing out of the
crowd through just superior writing skills or a unique idea or product can no longer be taken as a
given. Far too many bloggers devote their time and energy to posting content or updating their
blog in the hope of attracting a large following. But all the hard work will be in vain if no one knows
about your blog. You need, instead, to promote your blog vigorously in order to make it known to
the widest possible audience. Apart from the usual forms of advertising, you could trade links with
other established bloggers and make contacts with the wider blogging community. Building a loyal
base that grows exponentially takes time, but pays dividends that more than offsets the hard work
and initial frustration.
Once you have set up your blog and have a steadily increasing number of readers, how do you go
about maximizing its the earning potential? The three simplest ways for a beginner are:
i) Advertise on Your Blog
One of the easiest ways to make money with blogs is through Google Adsense. You can easily
sign up as an affiliate and add the code to your blog site. Google will place ads that are consistent
with your web content and every time a visitor clicks on an ad on your blog, you will get a part of
the profits. There are a lot of other advertising programs available like BlogAds, Text Link Ads,
CrispAds, to name a few. If you position your Ads in those areas of your blog that catch the eye of
your reader and if they are relevant to the topic you are writing about, there is no reason why your
readers should not click them, since they have come to your blog site searching for the type of
2. information you are delivering.
ii) Sell Your Own Products and Services
Almost all successful Internet marketers have their website linked to their blog as it carries content
that complements the products sold on their site. Blogs are an excellent source of website traffic
as they can easily be pinged to directories. This means that once you make a single post, you can
be instantly added to all the directories and social bookmarking sites. You can even have multiple
blogs optimized around keywords in your website and linked back to it. All this helps increase your
site's Page Rank, thus driving more traffic to your site.
iii) Sell Affiliate Products
If you don't have a web site, you can still make money from your blog. Decide the type of goods
you want to market and research the Internet to find the best companies that sell the products you
are interested in promoting. Many companies offer affiliateships that can generate an income of
50%-75% off each sale that occurs through your referral. Use your blog to review the products in
detail and as you gain recognition and build trust among your readers, they will tend to buy
products recommended by you.
Just because blogging is comparatively easy, it does not follow that effort, creativity and planning
are not required. You may have a great idea or product, you may even be a marketing whiz, but
that still does not guarantee overnight success. However, on the positive side is the fact that it is
not very difficult to get readers visiting your blog. Once you have a sizeable number with whom
you have built a relationship based on trust and respect, money should start flowing into your
coffers.
