Making Money Online Using A Blog

By Roman Deluna


There are many opportunities for making money online full or part time but one of the easiest to get started is blogging. Having your own blog is very rewarding and you have a lot of flexibility in monetizing it. Four of the commonly used methods are to promote affiliate offers, to sell advertising space to businesses on a pay-per-click basis, or provide ad a space for companies on a cost-per- action basis, and of the methods available probably the one that makes the most sense is using your blog to promote your own products especially when you get started.

One of the simpler approaches is to promote affiliate offers on your blog. It is among the easiest, least expensive, and quickest way to get started. The problem with this method is that you need to join a network that provides affiliate products that you can promote, find a product that will convert easily, and figure out how to incorporate it into your blog. The basic premise for this type of monetization is that the merchant will pay you a commission for any sales you make from your website.

The actual process itself is very simple all you need to do is go somewhere like Clickbank and find a product in your niche you want to promote. Go to the merchant site and request an affiliate link. The merchant will often times also provides other resources such as banners for you to use. Next you incorporate the links where appropriate or paste the banner code updated with your affiliate link on your site. The affiliate code is what the merchant uses to track the sales and insure the right individual gets paid.

The next option you may want to use is to include AdSense ads from Google. This requires setting up an account with Google and is probably the most common type of pay-per-click advertising people with websites use. It entails making advertising space available on your site by pasting an ad code provided to you and deciding where you want the ads to show. Every time someone clicks on one of the ad links you get paid. The best part of this type of advertising is that Google keep track of everything for you.

In most cases it involves the visitor completing a simple form to ask for further information or request some form of contact. In both of these cases the companies will provide you some form of code to add to your website and they take care of tracking the clicks and paying you. Keep in mind what I said at the beginning if you are not experienced and you are just starting your blog this will not be a viable option for you. Reason being these companies are looking for established sites with significant consistent traffic to get exposure to their ads.

Here are some terms you will need to know if you go this route. Cost per Thousand (CPM; the M is the roman number for 1000) advertising is one form of this type of advertising. With CPM advertising you are paid a certain amount per 1000 impressions. An impression is a single instance of an ad on a webpage. So an ad with a CPM of $2 on a blog that gets 20,000 views would earn $40 a day for that particular ad. It is pretty simple to see how that could add up quickly.

The last option which is the one I currently use is to promote your own opportunity or products if you have some. This is without a doubt the most straightforward approach for a beginner as all it requires is blogging in whatever your niche happens to be. There are some tailor made opportunities out there for just this type of option. You can get a blog set up for you with all the monetization already in place which makes this a very practical approach.

Regardless of what choice you make, there is a possibility that you may not do well initially. Do not let this deter you in any way as success in most cases comes from failure. All of these methods have their own pluses and minuses and the only way you will find one that works for you is by trial and error. The good news is that most are inexpensive to implement though they may require a bit of a time investment on your part. Don't forget that blogging is a long term process to earning an income or making money online. Don't get frustrated or discouraged when you do not see any results after a few months. I would give it 6- 9 months before you can expect significant results judging by my experience. Just stay true to the course and celebrate your small successes.
