3 Ways To Monetize Your Blog
What you need to know first…monetizing your blog works best if you have your own hosting and domain names for every niche you plan on blogging about because to fully take advantage of monetizing this platform your going to need complete control of the types of content that are placed on your blog but there are a number of free blog sites that you can also use with some of the techniques that follow.
1. Use Your Blog to Market Affiliate Products: This is what a lot of the guru’s do to generate tons of money by using a simple blog to do reviews on different products that they promote. You will want to have a different blog for each service that you are marketing. This technique is called “Pre Selling” or a “Pre Sell” page. A potential customer will always be more inclined to buy when reading a review of something they are considering purchasing rather than just being pushed onto the main sales page. Make certain to include your affiliate link in your blog and implement a call to action at the end of your review. This is a nice word of mouth soft pre-sell and this technique works well.
2. Place Affiliate Banners on Your Blog: Most products that you chose to promote have an affiliates page where you can grab the code for different banners and use them on you blog. This is a great technique to use as it makes your blog look more influential and larger than life giving the appearance that you have individuals buying advertising space on your blog. Make sure the banners you put on there are of the same or are in a related niche that the blog is about so that you don’t confuse your visitor as to what they are looking for. To do this you must have your own hosting for your and full control over your blog page as you cant place these ads on the free blog hosting sites.
3. Place AdSense Ads On Your Blog: Google AdSense provides you with a number of ad type options – image or text based to place on your blog that once clicked on by visitors can generate income for you. Implementing AdSense is very easy. You specify your preferences and just copy and paste into your page source code where you would like the ad to show up. You can use the same code on any of your websites. Once implemented DO NOT click on these AdSense ads yourself as this constitutes click fraud and google will penalize you for that. You can’t cheat the system they WILL find out so do this the proper way and it will payoff.
Remember blogging for money is a business and content alone will not generate money for you. You must do additional research ( just google building blog traffic or something similar) to become skilled at how to generate traffic to your blog as traffic, traffic, traffic means mo’ money in online marketing. A blog with no traffic, if your looking to make money, is just that.
