7 Ways To Make Money From Your Blog

Its the core strategy of a vast number of successful internet marketers. Blogging has proved to be one of the most enduring methods of income generation working online. Why? It fulfills the basic requirement of any online marketing campaign, it gives value to its readers first. The sales side has to follow after you have established a rapport with your audience just like any other social media platform. It takes time and effort and I will be sharing the required strategies with you over the coming weeks.
For now lets look at the methods bloggers use to monetize their blogs
1/ Adsence
The starting point for many bloggers on their journey to making money online. Run by Google, Adsence sells advertising to business which then places ads on blogs and websites in the form of banners. It is possible to make a reasonable income doing this but you will require an engaged regular audience and lots of traffic. Google will require your blog to reach a certain standard before it places ads on it but you can apply and wait until their criteria are met.

2/ Affiliate Offers
Acting as an affiliate for online products is the most popular method of making online sales, but not the easiest. It takes a lot of work to engage with your customer first but there are "Super Affiliates" out there making large sums doing it - but not just from blogging. The best route is by writing a product evaluation followed by a link. Sources of affiliate products are Clickbank, JVzoo, Clicksure, Amazon, Ebay, to name but a few.

3/ Banner Ads Place banners on your blog either for an affiliate offer or for another independent marketer. Use banner ads to promote your own online/offline products.

4/ Email Marketing You will hear this a lot "the money's in the list!". An email list is still considered to be the best method of making an online income bar none. Build a list and send them useful information about your niche and include sales emails from time to time. A Blog is considered one of the best ways of collecting email addresses as the person is already engaging with you. An accepted sign up rate is 1 in a 100 visitors so not a fast method of email collection but much will depend on how much traffic you send to your Blog.

5/ Produce an Ebook After you have written 20 or so articles on your Blog, put them together to produce an Ebook. If the content is of a high standard (and it should be) then you can either sell it, usually for around $1 or give it as an incentive to join your list. Remember you can promote your Ebook on your Blog.

6/ Website Link This method suits small business that may struggle to get their main website ranked on search engines. A much overlooked SEO method, probably because its free! Google obviously loves Google Blogger and given that you post quality content regularly its not difficult to rank on the first page in your niche. link your Blog to your website using hyperlinks.

7/ Blogging for Big Business For Bloggers that become accepted authorities in their niche there is the opportunity to work for big name retailers reviewing and promoting products or working for multi nationals as part of their PR campaigns. Not many of us will want to do this or indeed be good enough to be considered but the rewards are there for those who do.

There are many more ways to make money from Blogs but here are but 7. None of the above is of any use at all unless your content is very good and you drive traffic to your Blog so people read it!

The Business of Making Money Online

Making money online is made up of two main components: Finding your niche market and understanding your niche market. The two are not the same. Finding your niche is relatively easy because you are looking for someone exactly like you, someone who is looking for the PROMISE of making money, relatively fast, with little effort. If you are selling a product or service on behalf of someone else then the niche market you are looking for are other people in the same position. These people are commonly called "Affiliates". To understand your niche market - you need to understand that it really isn't the product or service that motivates them, it is the PROMISE that they will get rich so there DREAMS come true, and hopefully with little effort. OK, so we know who your Niche Market is and we know how they think; now it's time to put together a plan of action so you can turn some of those losses into profit. Your task should be to provide your Niche with a way out of the mainstream methods of promoting, a way to distinguish yourself/themselves from the masses. This is your PRIMARY task, your SOLE task, the reason you will make money online. And just to drill it home: Your task is to provide your Niche with a way out of the mainstream methods of promoting, a way to distinguish yourself/themselves from the masses. Let's look at your Niche Market again in order to properly achieve that. They have little to no internet technical skills They don't have a way to stand out from a crowd They want a simple system to follow They want to follow a leader to help them achieve success They believe in the PROMISES and DREAMS and hope to accomplish it I swear I can hear you yelling right now "Just give me the answer". It was exactly that way for me I just wanted someone to give me the answer and/or do it all for me. Here is the answer: You need to create a marketing system specifically for your niche. A marketing system that ISN'T like the rest of the herd, that doesn't keep you doing what everyone else does, you need to think outside the box, actually you need to build a totally new box. Your marketing system should take into account the following: You are getting other people to become affiliates - who will be under you You are building a business this is why you have affiliates under you You need to help your affiliates to grow their business (teams) You need to promote credible, endorsed products to be successful I have given you a lot to think about, now it is time for you to take action.

Earn $100 a Day Working From Home

I'm going to start this off with a simple statement of fact. If you are working from home right now and NOT making progress or profit, you CAN change your direction, starting today. It's not hard. And it's NOT expensive. You can earn $100 a day online. Starting right now... with no gurus, no gadgets and no gimmicks required. As a matter of fact... I'm going to go out on a limb and make the following prediction: If you have a keyboard, are willing to be a wee bit creative, you CAN earn copious amounts of cash online, and that is a fact. Period. If you are struggling... You need a new equation. And content creation, done well, is the online currency that leads to cash. (and clients, or conversions, or whatever it is that you need to succeed) Here is the thing when it comes to content creation. Most people think that you've got to update your blog every day, or do a ton of guest posting or be a really GOOD writer to turn your content into cash. It's not true. You only need to be willing to work hard, apply some daily discipline and be willing to succeed. Let me give you a simple formula for earning $100 a day that's incredibly easy to test, and that works wonderfully well for thousands, if not tens of thousands of ordinary work from home marketers and online entrepreneurs, right now as I write this in September of 2013. Here is the equation. Find an affiliate offer that has an EPC (average earnings per 100 visitors referred) of $80 or over. (in other words, the amount of average affiliate will earn per 100 visitors sent to the offer) Write articles (much like this one) that links from your resource box, to a root level redirection that moves readers who want to know more from the article, to the offer. (your re-direction uses a simple html page that forwards directly to the offer using your affiliate cookie) Pick offers in BIG niches. (diet, dating, divorce and other niches that have tons of traffic and evergreen audiences) Write enough articles per day to drive 100 visitors per day to the offer! (if you are "average", and you pick an EPC offer of 80-100, you WILL earn $100 per day if you stick with it) The truth? 100 visitors per day using this method is DEAD simple. I generated 1 million new readers in about 6 months using this method, (and about 300 THOUSAND visitors to my landing page)without any experience, and without any tricks, all free traffic and so TOO can you!
