2 Top Tips for Making Money with Your Blog
By admin | November 10, 2008
You may have already set up your blog or thinking of starting one.Either way, these tips might help you concentrate on where you might make soem money. I havent got arounf to doing it on thsi blog, but on my other blog, I have found that a combination of these has helped. I havent used them on this blog because they do tend to clutter it and make it look more “markety” if there is such a word. I am trying to keep this blog tidy and its more an information blog as such.
So what can you look at?
Creating blog revenue is simply a matter of properly setting up your blog with various income producing products and programs, and then getting as many new and repeat visitors as possible to view your pages on a consistent basis.
So here are a couple of ways for you to begin generating a blog revenue.
1. Google Adsense is the most obvious way of making money. You will need to apply to Google for it first, just go to Google,click on the advertising programs link and follow the instructions. If you are using Wordpress, you can get plug-ins (more on this later) that will add adsense to a variety of locations on your blog,header, footer sidebars etc.
Adsense is the corollary to adwords. If someone clicks on an ad in your blog, then you will get a few cents or even dollars depending on the niche. It can mount up
2 Banners
These are are great way of adding colour to your blog, but it can make it look cluttered so be circumspect. Banners are associated with various affiliate programmes and are free. Ensure that the affiliate programme fits in with your blog niche. No point having a blog about guitars and having banners advertising gardening!
You join the affiilate programme, see clickbank for these, and get an ID code which is inserted in the banners you are given.When someone clicks on the banner,then buys the product, you get a commission.
Of the 2, there is only the one step in the adsense process,someone clicks,you get money. With banners they have to purchase the product as well and that is a harder process but the rewards can be greater.
