There are millions of blogs out there but only around 20% of them are still active because the writers have motivation –cash being the main reason…. I’ll tell you this much: those 20% are making, or CAN make - a ton of money. This may NOT be the fact for the 15 -year old girl who writes about getting up in the morning and yawning, the obstacles she faces when brushing her teeth and the crucial dilemma of what to do about Steve-what’s-his-face’s crush on her.
Girls can talk all they want, BUT MONEY TALKS LOUDER. More and more people recognize the revenue potential within the world of blogging, and that is the main reason they keep doing what they do. Even the smallest bloggers are feverishly looking for ways to capitalize on their blog reach. The way to do this is to incorporate blog advertising into…that’s right: your blog.
You can turn your Web log (hey that’s like the word “blog”!) into a digital cash cow with minimal time and energy. Take what I’m doing as an example – I hooked up my blog to work with the casino niche – a niche that produces ridiculous amounts of money for anyone involved. I’m talking about the bloggers who promote them and I’m talking about the players who can make a jackpot killing in just one go.
Many casinos run “affiliate programs” – these programs offer bloggers a way to earn commission on each click or sale they generate for a third-party website through the posting of banners and websites. Some of the top casino ads can generate massive returns when cleverly integrated into your blog. You should test a number of advertisers to see which performs the best. Although this can involve some testing, the returns on this type of advertising are normally much higher than with Adsense-type advertising.
No offense, but most people don’t know how to generate income from their blogs. They put a mix of “things” together with no reason and hope for the best. You should basically come up with an income plan. When I first started this site 13 months ago I was making $3000 per month. That was a nice figure for me back then but today $9000 feels a lot better. It comes down to a bit more than just writing blogs and putting up great ads, more on this next time.
