ways to earn money from your blog

If you are a blogging, or are considering starting a blog, there is a good chance that making money is the reason you do it. Blogs can be a great way to generate income on the internet, and it doesn't matter if you are a total internet marketing beginner or a seasoned pro. Anyone can get started with blogging and earn a great income online. Here are my 3 favorite ways to earn money from blogs.
AdSense
Google AdSense is definitely the easiest way to earn money from a blog. All you do is sign up, place the AdSense code on your blog, and Google will automatically display ads which are relevant to the content of your blog. Whenever a visitor clicks on one of the ads, you earn a percentage of the money that the advertiser paid for that click. Depending on the niche your blog is in, you could earn anywhere from a few cents per click, to well over $1 per click in some highly lucrative niches. Easy peasy, right? Actually it is! Especially if you are one who posts a lot of content on your blogs. The reason for that is the more content you have the more traffic you will get, and the more traffic you have the more cash you can make. So the faster you can get a lot of traffic to your blog the faster you will start earning. The great thing is you can just continue talking about the subjects you love.
Affiliate Products
Recommending affiliate products is another great way to earn money from your blog. You can sign up to an affiliate network such as Clickbank.com and browse their marketplace for products that are relevant to your blog. Once you've found a good product to promote, you can place a link to that product on the sidebar of your blog, or even within posts.
Another thing you can do is you can become an affiliate of a product and you can place a link on your blog. If someone comes along and clicks on the link and they buy the item you will earn a commission. For example, you can become an affiliate of Amazon.com and place links to products from that site on your blog.
List Building
Over the long term, the most profitable way to make money from your blog is to build an email list which you can market to. You can get your readers to sign up for a newsletter, or offer them a free gift for signing up, such as a free report. Once they have given you their name and email address, you then have permission to market to them until they tell you to stop (by clicking the unsubscribe link in an email).
