Make money blogging - part1

Earn money from your blogs

Find below, the points that I have summarized to get the maximum profits out of your blog. When you love writing about what you feel, expressing yourself , then no harm in earning a few scoring rewarding points for yourself. Here's how:

1. Sites that pay you to blog:
I recently stumbled upon this fantastic resouce that lists out 28 sites, that pay you to blog.
The list includes 451 Press, About.com, Blog burner, Blog feast, Blogger wave, Blogsvertize, Pay Per Post, Shvoong, Review Me and many more. You can publish your posts and if you have good content, then your blog posts get published and you get paid. How cool is that?
I have provided a link to their post which I think you will love to explore.

Out of these, Blogger wave and Blogsvertise are relatively easy to join in.


2. Google Adsense
Fetching money from your blog would not be an easy start of course, but its not unachievable as well.
If you notice my blog, you will find google ads. Thats how your ads will look like when you paste a google adsense code in your blog. Getting these ads are very easy and it costs you nothing. All you have to do is log into https://www.google.com/adsense/ and follow the simple instructions to get yourself registered.

Upon registration and accepting the google terms and conditions, you will be led to a page where you can choose from three categories of adsense gadgets:

a) Adsense for content: Content adsense is the most common form of textual ads placed by google.

b) Google search: Just like google adsense, you can also incorporate google search box (just like the I have used in my blog. Getting this search box is again very easy and is similar to the step 2 of google"Adsense for content" above. You get an HTML code for this as well and all you need to do is paste this code into your weblog.

c) Google referral boxes: Close to google adsense and search boxes, are yet another money fetching blog ingredient - referrals. You get an HTML code by following a similar process as listed above and get commission for referring some products on your weblog. Whats more, you get to choose which products you want to refer or promote and earn revenues.

You can customize what kind of ads you want google to place in your blog, the color customization of the ad and what size would you want to allocate for that ad in your blog. Upon confirmation of the ad customization,you will receive an HTML code that you need to paste in your website or blog.

How to place google adsense ads in your blog?
You need to log into your blog/site, and paste this HTML code into the webpage (If you are using blogger for your blogs, then you can navigate to Dashboard->Layout->Add an element->Add an HTML/Javascript,and then paste your HTML code right here). Make sure to save your changes.

That's it....all done! Oh and by the way, these are called "Pay-per-click " ads or PPC ads.

Traffic: The next tiring and the most challenging step is to get traffic to your blog, else if you do not have visitors, then you have no one reading your blog, no one clicking those ads you have placed there and hence no money! AWeber is an excellent way to make use of an autoresponder. An autoresponder is that which sends you mail in your inbox without fail, if you have provided your email address on any of the sites that you were interested in. You get reminders and mails from these autoresponders and this is an effective way to drive visitors to your blogs. You could also use Get-Visitors-Now to get instant traffic to your website, though all these traffic providers will charge you some fee. Get visitors would charge you a one time fee of $49.95 but its worth it anyways.
