BLOGGING TO THE BANK

Blogging is the sharing of information in an informal way. It provides you the opportunity to earn by posting information about your likes or dislikes or anything that people want to know about. Here is how you can make money by becoming a part of the blogosphere.

AdSense

AdSense is the most common way of making money from blogs. If you have used the internet, you must have seen the ads that contain words such as "ads by Google" or "AdChoices," or a triangle-like logo. These are ads provided by the Google AdSense program. The program is free to join and works by matching ads with the content present on your site. The revenue shared is not fixed and depends on the money paid by the advertiser for the ad space.

Infolinks

An increasingly popular method of advertising, infolinks places ads within the text of your blog posts. Keywords are selected for the ads by the system, so you don't have to do any manual work. Many advertisers combine these in-text ads with Google AdSense. Infolinks shares 70% of the ad revenue with its publishers - one of the highest percentages in the industry.

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is another very popular way of earning money from blogs. To get started, you apply to join an affiliate network. Some businesses also run their own affiliate programs. You may be able to choose from different revenue models, depending on your niche and available options, including pay-per-lead and pay-per-sale. These ads are harder to obtain than AdSense and infolinks as some businesses may only offer limited affiliate positions or offer positions to bloggers who have an established blog.

Selling Ad Space

Selling Ad Space is another option you have. Whether or not you will be able to sell ad space depends on what you have to offer. Advertisers are attracted to blogs that get high traffic; but they are also interested in conversion rates. So, if you have a decent number of visitors that come to your blog for a specific type of information, you may be able to attract advertisers. It's a good idea to create a separate page on the blog for marketing your ad spots and providing information about pricing and packages.

As someone who is new to blogging, you should start by acquainting yourself with the different techniques used for blog promotion. There may hundreds of blogs in your niche, so unless you increase the visibility of your blog by promoting it, the information you provide is not going to reach anyone and your blogging is not going to produce any profits. Start by understanding how to properly make a blog post and how to optimize a post for the search engines.

Blogging is one of the best options you have to earn money online. The revenue options mentioned above allow you profit from the information you share. Make sure you take the time to learn how to blog to start on the right foot.
