Earning money with a blog  |
|
I have been blogging for years, and recently I had decided that I wanted to potentially earn money using my blog. How many people on here do that? How much do you earn?
I currently use adsense for my blog, and I haven't been earning a whole lot from it. I was hoping someone could give me some good ideas for earning money using my blog. I am open to most ideas, but one thing I do not want to do is sign up to put in-text ads on my site - I use a lot of links to other sites and other blog entries and I wouldn't want a reader to mix those up with in text ads!
Any advice would be great, thanks in advance!

1. 2EarnMoney2 (588) | 5 months ago | You could use a url shortner site to display ads when people click on links on your blog. It's not fast money by any means, but if you are getting decent click outs, it'll add up.

2. AJ88xA8 (186) | 5 months ago | I just created my blog 4 days ago. And since then I have had around 30 hits, so my traffic is slowly increasing and more people are reading everything I put on my blog. I don't know what you blog about but my blog is for the purpose of informing people of which PTC, PTP, GPT sites are legitimate and which they will make the best money from. I do not use adsense but if you do now or have ever had any experience with any of the types of sites I recently mentioned, I would say that you add an extra page to your blog titled "earn some extra money" or something like that. Then post referral banners from some of the sites with information on how to earn or how much they can earn from them. This will bring the blog more hits and generate a different type of revenue for you. So when the extra traffic comes your earnings from adsense will most-likely be accelerated and you have yourself some extra cash. So far I have gotten around 8 all together for my sites and that brings in more money for me.:-)
So whether you add that extra element to your blog or not I wish you the best of luck! Happy MyLotting my friend

rebelmel (636) | 5 months ago | Well I use google adsense and you are not supposed to post that kind of blog with ads on it. Check the FAQ's if you are using adsense to make sure you are not violating anything. I actually run 5 different blogs and the one that gets the least amount of hits is my Survey/PTC/paid to post review site. I want to find some sort of ads that would look appealing on my blogs, not some ugly, flashing banner. It's really hard to find good ads, so I have figured out. I'd rather not post referral banners all over my blog, too. I think they are tacky looking and I only like to post links in my personal blog is when I mention something about the site that is relevant to my post. To be honest, I hardly post about earning money online from my personal blog, I feel like posting too much about that sort of thing will make me sound like an advertisement and I would lose readers. I am not positive about that, It;s just something I have thought a lot about.

3. shadowoflight (209) | 5 months ago | If you wan to make money by adsense I have tips for that as well this cool ideas. I typed it little from a blog.
www.general-gk.blogspot.com
Some of these techniques you may have thought of, but some you may not have. Here are a few of the more unorthodox ways to profit by blogging:
(1). Flipping Blogs Same as flipping websites. You can flip blogs and make some pretty serious cash. You set it up, start traffic building to get an audience, and in a few months, sell it while it's in a position to generate some good cash for someone who's looking. Keep good stats and do some good advertising, and you can actually profit from the hundreds up into the thousands.
(2). Donations Many bloggers nowadays leave a message on their blog asking for donations. This is an excellent idea, and if the website provides a good service, this is entirely proper.
(3). Business Blogs Almost any company, or any organization has a blog in today's world. The use of blogs to get their message out is a huge boost to their profits. Some hire bloggers to run these sites for them. If you can run a good blog, you may consider applying to a company for running one for them.
(4). Blog Networks Most any blogger can pick up extra work writing for other blogs. Bloggers are in constant need of content that will draw people to their site and interest them in what the theme of the blog is about. Sometimes these can lead to long-term work, netting a good profit for you.
(5). Products You can hardly visit a blog today without seeing products for sale pertaining to the theme of the blog. You can sell products through your own website or through Cafe' Press. If your blog brings in a lot of traffic, then you should be getting lots of sales.........

rebelmel (636) | 5 months ago | Thanks for the advice. I don't think I will be flipping blogs any time in the near future. The reason I like blogging so much is because I really love to write. I work very hard on my blogs, and I don't think I could ever sell them! My personal blogs makes me who I am, I could never give that up! But I will check out that blog you posted to see if there are any other ideas that I might want to follow!

rebelmel (636) | 5 months ago | Well, all a blog really is is a web log. It could mean a various number of things. It could be research, it could be essays, it could be diary entries. It's just a log of whatever you want that you post online for others to see. If you are interested in blogging, blogger.com makes it VERY easy. Thank you for the well wishes!

5. General_Spacey (1194) | 5 months ago | I have no ideal. Almost all legit sites on the net are slow to accumulate enough money for a payout. Some, like mytowne, folding while owing their members a lot of money. I was owed over $500 USD. You would have to spend more time writing online than what a full time job would call for.

rebelmel (636) | 5 months ago | I have been blogging since I was 14 years old. I am 24 now. Clearly blogging is something I enjoy to do, and if I have been writing almost every day for ten years, chances are I probably will for at least a few more years, too. Might as well try to make a buck at it. I was looking for input as to how to make a few extra dollars from a blog, not someone telling me it's a bad idea.

General_Spacey (1194) | 5 months ago | Its not that this is a bad ideal, because it is a good ideal. Or I wouldn't be here.

6. chaime (899) | 5 months ago | Well adsense is definitely a good way to start. You can also join other sites that are like adsense like bidvertise or adbrite. You can also sign up for various affiliate programs then you can put banners in your site. You can also join a variety of paid to post or paid to review sites where in you can review sites and place these reviews on your site.
| |
| |
|
|
rebelmel (636) | 5 months ago | Do you know any specific programs or links? I am looking for assistance in earning from my blog. I know that I could join sites to post advertisements on my blog, but I need to know WHERE to find them, and what the best ones are.

8. barehugs (3826) | 5 months ago | I have just recently began a Blog, and I'm having fun with it. I have 9 followers and would like more. I am not using my blog to make money as its just a fun hobby at this time. I'm getting an average of about 20 hits a day. I would be interested in knowing more about your Blog, like the subject and interest. I'll add you as a friend,and we can exchange information via PM if you are interested.

rebelmel (636) | 5 months ago | My blog is just a personal space where I can write what I want. If you go to my profile, there is a link to my blog in there. The link will bring you to a specific entry I wrote about earning money online. If you want to read more everyday articles that I have written, just click on the banner at the top of the page - it will bring you to the home page.
A lot of the time I write humorous pieces, and on fridays I post a bunch of freebies (appropriately called Freebie Fridays)
I would love it if you wanted to check it out! I always respond to my comments and check out my followers, so if you comment me or follow me I'd be sure to check yours out too!

rebelmel (636) | 5 months ago | One major thing you need to do in order to make money with your blog is KEEP UP WITH IT! No one will want to visit your blog if you don't keep writing in it, or post pictures, or videos, or whatever you might want to do with your blog. You earn money because of the page impressions you get or by the clicks on the ads in your blog. In order to keep people clicking on your blog, you need to keep them reading. There are plenty of ways to up traffic to your blog. If you need help, feel free to comment back and we can talk some more.

yugasini (1381) | 5 months ago | hi rebelmel,

|
rebelmel (636) | 5 months ago | Well, what is the reason for your blog? Is it personal? do you have something specific you always write about?

10. LouieWpHs04 (2155) | 5 months ago | Well, from my research the average CTR rate is about 1-8% If you're really good sometimes pushing over 15% but it's a very unlikely scenario. Adsense is really only good if you get super direct traffic and lot's of it. I've gotten lucky a few times though and made a good bit from very little traffic. It really depends. I think the biggest problem is your SEO relevence. Most AD clickers seem to be those surfing that of google, not people you personally bring in. On occasion it could be the case but from my experience in the past and present most of my AD clicks come from google surfers finding me. Your blog title is very important in SEO and the title "tweeded" although it's neat sounding doesn't help you too much when you want google traffic to find you. Have you added metatags and a metadescription? I can help you out a bit further through PM's to try to bring in some google traffic if you want me to & to come up with some good metatags and a good meta description.
Shareapic is a good website to be using if you don't already. Also, if you get enough traffic selling advertising space can help bring in some decent cash as well.

rebelmel (636) | 5 months ago | Well this is my personal blog - I don't want to market my blog and have it lose the appeal that I think it has already. It's personal, and "tweeded" is kind of like my online persona. I do normally tag my entries with keywords, and I get a decent amount of google clicks. The entry I have linked in my profile is just a specific entry that I found to be appropriate to have in a profile on a site like this - I rarely ever blog about earning money online or the likes.
I do use shareapic already, and I have been using them for a couple months now. I have only earned 6 cents. I am hoping that one I launch my other blog, which is all pictures of performing bands, that maybe that will grow a bit more than from what it has been so far.
If you had any other tips for me, I would love to hear them, though.
