Earn Revenue From Your Blog

Like i said earlier, yes you can make money blogging, it just takes hard work and motivation. And I know your getting tired of me saying that without traffic you won't make money. Well thats true and it's a good idea to get traffic before you worry about making money off your blog. Trust me, you have plenty of time to make money and like I said earlier, if you don't have patients then you shouldn't be writing in the first place. If your interested in any of these ideas just simply click on the highlighted red words.

Google AdSense - This is the best way to make money from your blog. This is simply a pay-per-click advertisement that Google puts on your site. Later in the article I will show you where to put the ads on your blog for better results, but for now I will explain what AdSense is. What I really like about Google AdSense is that you can choose the ads you want to be displayed on your blog and where you want them so they don't clutter your content. You can create channels so advertisers will know what ads to place on your site. For an example, lets say your site is about puppies for sale. You create channels that mention something about puppies for sale and Google will place ads on your site about puppies for sale. It's that easy. So the big deal here is, if someone can't find what they are looking for on your blog, then they will click on your AdSense ads and you get payed for it. Depending on your CTR (click through rate) that will be how much you get payed. It usually ranges anywhere from 1 cent - $70 per click.

Adbrite - This is a great way to make money off your blog once you reach an amount of visitors per month. I would say around 10,000 a month is a good start. Adbrite is a company that allows you to sell ad space on your blog to other company's. And Prices will range high and low depending on how many visitors you get and how much the advertiser is willing to pay. Usually you will charge them for creating ad and then a charge for each month to keep it up. But I recommend you don't put ad space up until someone ask to advertise on your site. It doesn't look professional until you have a few advertisers. They will get a hold of you don't worry. Give it time and they will come to you.

Donations - First of all your going to want to sign up for paypal. Just click the red highlighted word "donations" to go to the site. Anyway, paypal is growing very quickly and 9 out of 10 people use it for payments now. Once your blog gets to the point where people are inspired by it, lots of people will be very generous. You might be thinking, why would someone donate to my blog. Well you probably helped them succeed also so they want to repay the person who motivated them. But this is another win win situation
