Make Money Online: 7 Ways To Make Money Blogging Part 3
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009This is last part of the 7 ways to make money blogging series. If you have missed any of those, here are the links for you: part 1 and part 2.
Now today, I an going to reveal the last two strategies, that many pro-bloggers are using.
Selling Private ads

Once you have stable and decent readers or traffic on your blogs, you can easily monetize it by selling banners and text ads to advertisers. As an example, let’s look at once of my friend’s blog, Gathersuccess. As you see in the screen shot, he is having different section where he is selling banner and text ads. Well how much you can sell, it depends on your niche and perhaps how many unique visitors you can generate to your blog. As for the case gathersuccess, Alvin is selling around a total of $500 per month. Of course you can look around and see how much your competitors are selling so you can have a basic idea on how much you can earn per month this way. Advertisers always would like the idea on what kind of persons are visiting your blogs (such as age group, genders, income) before they will place an ad on your site, so make sure you have this information ready. One way to do it is to register a free account at Quantcast, Compete or Alexa and give your advertisers this information when ask.
Selling your own services or products
If you are a product or a service owner like me, you can always use your blog as a communication channel to your customers or readers. I always use the blog to review my own products or as an announcement for a upcoming discount etc. So that my readers will react on it when it comes to the right time. You can try it on your own as it is not really as hard as you may think.
Anyway, thanks for reading, this is the end of the series, and next time, I will start talking about how to get free traffic to your blog so stay tuned.
