I get asked “how to make money with your blog” type questions all the time. The following information is a simple breakdown of ways you can earn extra money by blogging. Remember, that if you just started out with your blog, you need to focus on content first. After you have blogged every other day for at lest 2-3 months, companies will start to take you seriously. When that happens, you can focus on earning extra income through the following options:
- Write product reviews to earn money. Contact companies online to see if they would allow you to review their products for a small fee or a trade out (I.e. you get to keep the products that you test out). Start out with a very small fee, then as your website grows, you can charge a regular rate.
- Sign up for web sites that will pay you for writing about other companies or websites. Places like PayPerPost are a great place to look. Be sure that you have your contact information on your website, so other companies browsing the web can contact you.
- Sell banner ads or small text ads on your blog. You can market this on a monthly basis or just every few months. Have a page on your blog dedicated to the details and specifics of your advertising rates.
- Sell what you create on your blog: web designs, crafts, antiques, books, etc. You may even try writing a e-book and marketing it on your website.
If you start out with these four simple steps, you can eventually enjoy earning a regular income from blogging.
