Earning Money Online with Your Blog: What are the Easier Ways
Sep 4, 2008 Blog Monetization
I must admit that one of the reasons why I stick to blogging despite the high-time demand of my hospital duties is the money I get out of it. Basing on experience, earning online is never that easy. I could attest that it’s a lucrative source of income but at the same time an unstable one.
There are several things that a blogger making money online could face. Many people might think that by mere posting they can already earn from their blogs. Of course you have to have an established blog before you could reach at least a $100 mark per month to get your monthly check. By saying ‘established’ I meant enough traffic, generated clicks and impression, good search engine and page rank, enough inbound links, etc. That is, your blog must meet at least nearly all the criteria of a good blog.
However, if you already have an established blog, it’s always easy to earn money from blogging.
There are three popular ways of making money through blogging:
Advertisement. Once your blogs become popular, you establish readership, which in turn attracts potential advertisers. There can be good reasons why most advertisers may prefer online advertising. It is widely accessed and most users belong to age group 15-40 years old, which have always been the target consumers of most advertisers.
Writing reviews. Although, this means of earning money online has became controversial because of the recent PR sweeps and disappearance in SERPs of blogs engaging to online reviews as punishment of Google for ‘manipulating the PR’.
You can earn more money by blogging about services, products, and popular companies. Since business owners want to popularize their names, they will offer you to write reviews about their products and brands.
The reviews should be positive so that more people are attracted to the said products or services. It must be able to generate an optimistic impression. If you’re a popular and experienced blogger, more and more companies will request you to write reviews about them.
Blog for others and get paid. Hired bloggers are increasing in numbers all over the world. Of course, earning money from blogging doesn’t always mean you have to have your own established blog to earn. Some people prefer blogging for others especially for companies to promote their products and services.
For beginners, earning money online can be hard however if you will be regularly doing it, you’ll get used to it. As they say, practicing makes one perfect.
In the succeeding articles, I will expound more on these money making strategies that a blogger can do online.
