All Bloggers Make Money From Blogs? 

How do bloggers make money from blogs?

I’ve been reflecting this week on the amazing diversity of opportunities that are opening up for bloggers to make money from blogging. I’ve long advised that bloggers seeking to make money from blogging spread their interests across multiple revenue streams so as not to put all their eggs in one basket. 

make money
  •  ‘The wonderful thing is that this is becoming easier and easier to do 2008 has seen many options opening up. I thought: I’d take a look at some of the methods that bloggers are using to make money through blogs’. 
What can you do to Make Money Blogging?

Simply you make your blog from Blogger (free), you can copy anything you want from this blog but without you don't put your affiliate links, look at the next free programs and choose anyone, or all get from them the links and do money ...simple no?  

Advertising Programs Perhaps the most obvious changes in the past few months have been a variety of practical advertising options for bloggers looking to make money from their blogs. The most common way bloggers seem to earn money online is via the contextual ad program from “Google Adsense”. 

Targeted blog advertising with “PerformancingAds”, “BidVertiser”, “Linkrefferal”, “AlternateURL”, “Classifieds”, “Contact them”. There is more to come with MSN Adcenter and YPN both in beta testing and with a variety of other advertising systems now in development (YPN is only available to US publishers).
Lastly, there’s BlogAds - one of the first blog specific ad networks.

RSS Advertising

The past 12 months have seen some advances in RSS Advertising as well. I’m yet to hear of any bloggers making big money blogging through it to this point - but as improvements made to the ad programs exploring this, I’m sure we’ll start to see examples of it being profitable.

Affiliate marketing network portal

There are larger affiliate programs like “Amazon”, “Click2Sell”, “Clickbank”, “E-junkie” but also literally thousands of others from the large to the very small. A large network offering hundreds of programs: pay-per-sale, pay-per-lead, and pay-per-click programs. More than 2,000 merchants. Each of these merchants has a different type of product that they are selling, and each is ready to give you a commission on that sale if you bring a customer to them. It has a strong pro-affiliate attitude and despises parasites. Have lots of data feeds.

Affiliate Programs

Affiliate Programs also are known as associate programs, partnership programs or reseller programs, are generally pay-per-sale marketing programs. The programs are for selling products or services and based on the concept of revenue sharing.

Digital Assets 

Increasing numbers of bloggers have developed other digital assets to support and ad revenue streams to their blogs. By this, I mean that I’m increasingly seeing e-books, courses being run by bloggers. My recent foray into this with the first series of the six-figure blogging course that Andy and I ran a few weeks ago and have just released the study version of. This type of activity will only increase in future - in fact, this week I’ve seen many examples of bloggers running courses.

My advice is to sell products from Amazon because they generate for you one Store with which products choose you from them. But you can find any program you like.

Blog Network Opportunities

With the rising popularity of Blog Networks, bloggers are also being presented with more places to earn an income from their blogging, by writing for and with others. While it might be difficult to get a writing gig with one of the bigger networks, there are plenty who are always asking for new bloggers to join and who are willing to pay bloggers using a variety of payment models. While there are distinct advantages of blogging for yourself, blogging for an established network who will handle a lot of the setup/promotion/admin/SEO etc has its advantages as well. More and more bloggers are combining writing for themselves on their own blogs with taking on blog network blogs as more income streams.

Business Blog Writing Opportunities

As blogging has risen in its profile as a medium more and more businesses are starting blogs. Many of these companies have internal staff take on blogging duties - but an increasing number of them are hiring specialist bloggers to come on and run their blogs. I know of a number of bloggers who in the past month or two have approached for such paid work. Check out Bloggers for Hire if you’re looking for this type of work.

Non-Blogging Writing Opportunities

Also, becoming more common are bloggers being hired to write in non-blogging mediums. Manolo’s recent coup of a column in the Washington Post is just one example of this as bloggers are increasingly being approached to write for newspapers, magazines, and other non-blog websites. Alongside this is the rise of bloggers as published book authors, this is to the extent that one blogger I spoke with this week complained to me that they were one of the few bloggers that they knew who didn’t have a book deal!

Donations

Tip Jars and donation buttons have been a part of blogging for years now but this last year saw a number of bloggers go full-time after fundraising drives. Perhaps the most high-profile of these was Jason Kotoko who through generosity his readership was able to quit his job and become a full-time blogger. For taking a donation button you must have a PayPal account and you take it.

Flipping Blogs

Also, more common in 2005 was the practice of ‘Blog Flipping’, or selling of blogs. This has happened both on a personal blog level but also on a network level, the most obvious of these being the 8 figure sale of Weblogs Inc to AOL.

Merchandising

My recent attempt to sell T-shirts wasn’t a raging success, but it is an example of how an increasing number of bloggers are attempting to make a few extra dollars from their blogs by selling branded products through programs like “Cafepress”. While I didn’t have a lot of success with merchandising, quite a few larger blogs are seeing significant sales, especially blogs with a cult following.

Consulting and Speaking

While it has been popular for established consultants to add blogs to their businesses were also starting to see bloggers with no consulting background able to make money by charging readers for their time in consulting scenarios because of the profile that their blogs have built them. Blogging is the ability to prove people as experts on niche topics and we all know the value of being perceived as an expert. I spoke to one blogger last month who charges himself out at over $200 an hour for speaking and consulting work, his area of ability was something that he knew little about 18 months ago, but through his blog, he’s become a leader in his field and a minor celebrity in his industry.

How To Make Money From Your Blog with Direct Methods


Having thought through whether you should blog for money it is now worth taking a look at some of the different models for doing so.I tend to break the different models that bloggers are using to make money from blogging into two areas: How To Make Money From Your Blog with Direct Methods


  • Direct Income Earning Methods - these methods are where a blogger earns an income directly from their blog.
  • Indirect Income Earning Methods - these methods are where a blogger earns an income because of their blog.

Please note that on occasion in the following post there will be few affiliate links to services that I use and have had some success with.

money

Make-money Direct Methods :



  • Advertising


There are many ways of selling advertising space on a blog (this could almost be a series of its own) but some of the different advertising options that I see bloggers experimenting with include:

Programs like Google AdSense and YPN -(beta{only for US}) are contextual and very popular with bloggers and are probably the most common income stream being used by them today (MSN are developing one too).
In short - these programs scan the content of your blog to assertion what it’s topic is an attempt to put contextually relevant ads (text and image) onto your blog.
They are generally simple to use and involve pasting some code into your blog’s templates.
Payment is on a ‘per click’ basis (referred to as CPC or ‘cost per click’ ads).
They are not so good with ‘general’ type blogs ( many topics) and/or political/spiritual blogs which argue just one side of a case (this confuses AdSense).Must have one blog about one thing only: make money, marketing, family, social class, tips, etc...

You can see the articles about Adsense tips and more, here on this blog.


  • Other CPC Advertising 


There are a variety of other ad systems that pay on a per click basis which are not contextual in nature (which is important as systems like AdSense do not allow you to run contextual ads on the same page view as them). These systems include Chitika’s eMiniMalls which I reviewed here.


  • Impression Based Ads 


Impression based ads pay a small amount for every person who views the advertisement.
The amount that they pay varies from program to program (and ad to ad) and is generally a fraction of a cent.
There are a variety of ad systems around like this including Fastclick which I reviewed here and Tribal Fusion.
Impression based ads won’t earn you much if you don’t have a lot of traffic but can be great if you do.


  • Blog Ads 


BlogAds has become something of an institution when it comes to advertising on blogs.
Bloggers set their own rates and can accept or reject advertisers that apply to them to be featured on their blogs.
These ads put the control of what ads show and how much they earn into the hands of the blogger.
The downside is that if you price them too high you could never have any ads showing at all.
They can also be difficult to be accepted into as a publisher as these days they only accept people into the system if they have a someone who is already in ’sponsor’ or recommend the new publisher.


  • Text Ads 


Another increasingly popular way to sell ads on your blog is to look into text links.
They don’t take up much room and that depending on the system you choose to run them you can have control over which advertisers you accept and reject.

Text Link Ads is another text link seller that more and more bloggers are using. The beauty of both of these systems is that they have a pool of advertisers already so you don’t have to go looking for your own advertisers. Their systems are also both very automated and are just a matter of pasting some code onto your blog. But they don’t earn anywhere near as much as Google AdSense or Chitika for me they add up over the year and have done well for me. BidVertiser and Classifieds are another systems that I know is popular with some (we’ve used them quite successfully on b5media although I have little personal experience with them).


  • RSS Ads 


A popular way for people to read blogs is via RSS. As result publishers and ad providers have been keen to find ways to place ads in feeds. These attempts have been met with a variety of success levels. I’m yet to hear of too many people making big dollars with RSS ads yet but the ad systems seem to be improving. AdSense offers RSS ads to some of its publishers (you have to have a certain number of impressions first) as does YPN. Feedburner is a tool I’ve used to help monetize my own feeds - they give publishers three options
1. AdSense if you’ve been approved by them,
2. Amazon affiliate program
 3. if you have a lot of subscribers (over 500) they have an Ad Network.

  • Other Ads Systems 


In addition to the above systems (most of which I’ve used myself) are many other advertising options which I’ve not had experience with and so won’t personally recommend. I’m sure they are worth experimenting with however as I see many of them being used by bloggers every day. Here they are in no particular order:

  • AdGenta,
  • CrispAds, 
  • Clicksor, 
  • Intelli Txt, 
  • Peak Click, 
  • Double Click, 
  • Industry Brains, 
  • AdHearUs, 
  • Kanoodle, 
  • AVN, 
  • Pheedo, 
  • Adknowledge, 
  • YesAdvertising, 
  • RevenuePilotTextAds, 
  • SearchFeed, 
  • Target Point, 
  • OneMonkey, 
  • TextAds.


  Feel free to add your own and tell us how you’ve gone with them in comments below.

In conclusion, I make money from these free advertising programs :

Google - Adsense.
Chitika’s eMiniMalls
WidgetBucks
Targeted Blog Advertising With PerformancingAds
BidVertiser
AlternateURL


Another form of advertising that a smaller number of bloggers are using it to find their own advertisers.
All of the above systems have the advantage of finding you advertisers (or at least assisting in the automation of ads to your blog) but as your blog grows in profile and influence you might find other options for private deals come up.
The big blog networks have people dedicated to the task of finding advertisers (often working through ad agencies) but smaller bloggers might find this worthwhile also. I’ve been selling ads on my Digital Camera Blog for two years now and as it’s grown in traffic and profile and managed to attract larger companies (who are willing to pay more) to buys space. Currently, the blog features ads from Adobe who have bought a combination of banner, newsletter and text ads. There are a variety of ads that you can offer them including banner ads, buttons, text links, mentions in newsletters and even individual post sponsorships.


Affiliate Programs

Affiliate programs are where you take a commission for referring a reader who purchases a product or service to a company.
Probably the most common of these for bloggers is Amazon which has tens of thousands of products that you can link to.
Other affiliate programs that represent many different companies and products include Commission Junction, Clickbank, E-junkie, Moreniche, Click2Sell
Affiliate programs take some work if you want to get the most out of them (perhaps more work than advertising) but can be lucrative if you match the right program with the right blog/topic. If you want to explore affiliate programs more you might like to read tips for using affiliate programs on your blog, read on this blog .



Selling/Flipping Blogs


The idea of selling (or flipping) your blog is one that many bloggers have in the back of their minds for ‘one day’ but in reality, it is not something that is overly common… yet.
Probably the largest sale is that of Weblogs Inc (a network of blogs) which sold to AOL for a reported $25 million. Of course, this is the stuff that most of us can only dream of - but there are examples of smaller blogs being sold, either privately or via auctions on sites like eBay and SitePoint. One such auction was that of the Blog Herald which took place here.Starting a blog with the main goal of selling it down the track is one that I’ve heard of a number of bloggers doing but few have been successful. Rather than starting with this intention I think if you start with the intention of building a quality site that has a large readership and it’s own good income stream you are more likely to find buyers down the track.

Donations and Tip Jars


A very small number of blogs have a history of making good money with these (Jason Kottke being one of them).
To be successful with asking for money from readers you’ll want to have a large and loyal readership (and a rich one might help too).
Most bloggers just don’t have the critical mass or the cult following to make it work.
For taking a donation button you must have a Paypal account and you take it.


Merchandise


Another method that some blogs use with reasonable effect is to sell T-Shirts, Mugs, Stickers etc with the blog’s name, logo and/or taglines on it.
This is another idea that will probably only work if you either have a brilliantly designed merchandise range and/or you have a cult-like status as a blogger with some fanatical readers who are a little obsessive about your blog.
Some blog topics lend themselves to this more than others.

Selling Subscriptions


The idea of charging readers for content is one that surfaces from time to time.
While there are numerous websites around the web that do this successfully (community membership sites) I’m yet to see many (any) blogs do it well.
The problem that most bloggers who have tried it have run into is that most topics that you could think to start a blog about already have free sites available.
To make it succeed you would need to have some sort of premium/exclusive content and/or real expertise on a topic.

Blog Networks


Another source for bloggers are blog networks.
There are two ways to make money here:


  • - firstly you can start a network and contract bloggers to write for you
  • - secondly, you might like to join a blog network as a writer

There are many networks out there and all have their own strengths and weaknesses. I’ll attempt to write a post on what to think about when you’re looking at whether to join a network later in this series.

 How To Make Money From Your Blog With Indirect Methods 


We now turn our attention to ways of making money from blogging that is more ‘indirect’ in nature - or how to earn money because of your blog rather than from it.Many of the following methods are the result of the profile and perceived expertise of the blogger themselves.

money
Building a profile as a blogger doesn’t happen quickly and starting a blog with some of these hopes should be seen as a long-term thing. My own experience in this area is that now after 18 months of blogging that it’s only been in the last few months that I’ve had opportunities open in most of these areas.


How To Make Money From Your Blog With Indirect Methods 


When you are perceived as an expert on a topic you will find that people naturally come to you for advice - some of them willing to pay for it. Some niches are probably better positioned than others for their bloggers to get into paid consultancy work of course. Recently, one blogger, who was able to charge himself out at $600 per hour to give advice to a large company. Interestingly I’ve heard of a number of companies in the last 6 months who are developing VOIP services that bloggers will be able to add to their sidebars to enable them to be called by readers for consulting. The systems would have per minute rate on them to automate this consulting process.


Steve Rubel announced that he’d been hired by a bigger PR firm. While he didn’t say it explicitly in his post I suspect that one of the reasons for him landing the job was the profile he’d built over the last year and a half from blogging. Steve’s case is not the only one - bloggers are increasingly being targeted by companies because of their demonstrated abilities in their field of expertise.


There are some businesses who employ people to blog for them either as their main role or part of their role. One example of a company who employed a couple of bloggers was Vespa who now have two blogs.job-board-engine is one site worth following if you’re looking for these types of jobs. Most of the jobs there are from blog networks but occasionally they include businesses looking for bloggers also.



I read through the RSS feeds that I follow it seems that every blogger I read has a book either in progress or coming out. Once again it’s about being seen as an expert in your field - if you can achieve this you will find publishers are more receptive to having an idea pitched to them and at times will even seek you out. This is becoming more common with publishers as they are seeing not only some great writers but that many of them already have large amounts of content on their blogs ready to be pulled together into a book!


Manolo from Shore blogs recently landed a writing gig in the Washington Post Express after he was discovered via his blog. These types of opportunities can be in the form of newspapers, magazines, trade publications etc.
Online Writing Gigs - Similarly some bloggers also land jobs writing for other forms of websites as a result of being discovered from their blogs.


This as direct or indirect (and depending upon how you do it you could probably go either way) but some bloggers are leveraging the expertise they have in an area by putting together their own ‘e-products’ such as e-books, teleseminars, courses etc and selling them to their readers.




One of the benefits of blogging about a niche topic that interests you is that you will begin to connect with others who have similar interests and expertise. As you interact with them it’s amazing to see the opportunities for working together that arise.


This is dependent upon the topic you’re writing about but some lucky bloggers end up with all kinds of opportunities to speak at conferences, workshops, and seminars on their topic of choice. Sometimes they are freebies, other times the conference will cover costs and on other occasions, there are speakers fees.


In conclusion, if you’re planning to use some of these indirect ways of making money because of your blog it’s important that you think seriously about building your own profile and credibility as a blogger,think about the types of people that you respect and look to as experts an consider what they offer in their fields. These people are generally original thinkers that not only report what others are doing, but who provide answers and vision for their industry.

Business Program Affiliate Opportunity


Business programs are a great source of additional income and with companies ready to pay a hefty commission amount on some programs this business opportunity seems to be extremely prospective.

But before going for an affiliate program there are certain things you got to be sure of. Firstly and most importantly you got to be sure if your affiliate business opportunity is actually an affiliate program or a multi-level marketing (MLM) program.

Don't know how to make one from the other? It's not as tough as the differential between an MLM and an affiliate program as it looks.

Business Program


Let's find out the difference between this two programs :



  • An MLM or multi-level marketing is a way of selling products and services through distributors.MLM program generally requires you to recruit distributors and generate sales.The payment in this mode is given for both recruiting distributes as well as generating sales. An MLM program also always involves an initial investment, or not.



  • An affiliate business opportunity program is way different from an MLM in the sense that it is referral based marketing.An affiliate program involves you to generate sales referrals to the affiliate merchant's website and can earn you commissions based on the type of affiliate scheme you opted for.

For instance, a pay per click (getpaidmail.com)scheme involves you to get paid based on the number of clicks a visitor from your site generates on the affiliate merchant's website irrespective of the sale he makes. Most affiliate programs are free to join.

In a way, a two-tier affiliate program can be considered to be somewhat near to an MLM strategy but not close enough.





Both MLM, as well as Affiliate Programs, cannot guarantee returns.
Finally, it all comes down to how committed you were to your work and in the strategies you adopt.
Apart from that all fair.

Best affiliate program directory online

An affiliate program directory contains a list of categorized affiliate programs which can be referred by affiliate seekers to find affiliate merchants in the category they are most acquainted with.Most affiliate merchants give out their terms and conditions regarding the affiliate program and are listed in categories like real estate, web hosting, apparels, business, entertainment etc.

Affiliate program directories can benefit the affiliate seeker as well as the affiliate merchants. They help the affiliate seeker find and compare affiliate programs and act as a means of advertisement for the affiliate merchants helping them get affiliates.

With the affiliate hype increasing the affiliate, directories have come up in large numbers. Many affiliate directories provide nothing but links whereas others have lots of information regarding affiliate programs, discussion forums, articles etc. But the most important factor is as to how credible they are in terms of offering and listing good programs and helping the affiliate seeker find the best possible option. Of course, there are many directories out there with the sole objective of earning money. So it's better to steer clear of them.

Best online affiliate directories :

Some of the best affiliate directories online are Commission Junction, Clickbank, E-junkie, Moreniche, Click2Sell, Amazon ...etc

Affiliate directories are a great source of information and referring the right directory could very well help you in securing a great affiliate program with ease.
If you are searching the net for the top ten affiliate programs you would be surprised to know that it's not the ranking of the affiliate program that matters but your own skills and commitment. As said there are no shortcuts to money and selecting from the top ten affiliate programs is no way to start a healthy affiliate relationship.

The best way to select an affiliate program is to analyze it based on certain assumptions and find out exactly how profitable it might be in the long run.
Let us look at some points you need to keep in mind before selecting an affiliate program.

Tips for selecting an affiliate program


 * Always analyze the quality of goods/services the affiliate merchant offers. It's always best to avoid businesses that sell third rated products with undue prices;

 * Only go for those affiliate programs that sell products/services that you are familiar with or your website content tallies with;

 * Before selecting an affiliate merchant, check his prior records in making prompt and correct payments;

 * Never go for a company that has a website crammed with unnecessary pop-ups, banners, adverts etc to distract the customer from buying the actual product;

 * As far as possible go for a two-tier commission scheme. There are many organizations today that offer two-tier and even multi-tier schemes;

 * As far as possible go for affiliate programs which promise a lifelong commission rather than a one time commission;

 * Until unavoidable go for affiliate programs that use reliable affiliate network services like commission journal;

Affiliate programs are a great means of earning some handy cash provided you select the affiliate merchant company not based on top ten lists but based on your interest in the product/service and your ability to promote them effectively.

Webmasters Make Money Online Tips


The internet has revolutionized the method we have a tendency to connect with others, however, we have a tendency to look, the ways that within which we tend to socialize and the way we tend to work. It's conjointly caused some massive changes in however we tend to build cash and webmasters make money online.
Make Money


People use the web to create somewhat money, et al have turned functioning on the net into their primary supply of financial gain. for a few people, this suggests lots of financial gains. to assist you to create the foremost cash you'll from the planet Wide net, here square measure seven prime tips for creating cash that may assist you to optimize and increase your financial gain.

What are "key phrases" and why are they important?


  • How do I select good "key phrases"?
  • Why do I need to exchange links with other quilting sites?
  • How do I get other quilting sites to exchange links?


What are "key phrases" and why are they important?
One of the major ways new customers can find your website is via the search engines. Your prospective customer will do a search for what they are looking for. For example, they might search for "quilt shop" or "Hoffman fabrics". If you are a quilt shop or a website selling Hoffman fabrics then these are key phrases that are important to you. You want your website to be in the top results for searches done for these key phrases.



In selecting key phrases you want to pick phrases that your prospective customers would be likely to use to search for a business like yours. However, you don't want to select a key phrase that has also been used by a huge number of your competitors. For example, you probably wouldn't want to have your primary key phrase be "quilt". It is best to focus on fairly specific key phrases rather than single keywords. The Overture search engine allows you to query its search engine about the popularity of any key phrase. Go to http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion to see how many searches have been conducted over the past month for a key phrase you are considering. You won't want to select key phrases that have very few searches done, nor will you want to select key phrases that generate thousands upon thousands of searches. The key phrases you select should always be highly relevant to your site.



In determining what ranking to give a web page most search engines rely heavily on analyzing the links that lead to the page. At one extreme a website with no links at all leading into it will never even be found by the search engine. Most search engines base their rankings, in part, on the number and quality of the links leading to your website. Getting links from other quilt-related sites is helpful, especially sites that have high rankings on the search engines for the key phrases you want your site to rank well on.



Go to one of the search engines that you'd like your site to rank well on. Do a search for a key phrase that is important for your site (e.g. quilt shop). Go to the sites that show up for your search. See if that site has a "links" page. If it does that means the site is probably open to link exchanges. Find the contact email address for the site, looking especially for a webmaster address for the site if that is available.

 Send an email asking for a link exchange. Provide them with the information they'll need to link to you and ask them to send you the information you'll need about their site in order to set up your link (i.e. website address, a name of the site, short description of the site). If they are agreeable add your link to their site and go to their site to make sure that the link they put up on your site is working properly.

The Free ads and Adsense Ad Formats Revised


When choosing Adsense for your website one of the things you will need to know is the right ad format. Not all formats convert the same or even work on your site. The Adsense ads are best dominated by testing and learning from trial and error. Ad formats depend on the placement on your website.


adsense
  • If you want a large ad unit on top of your site or in the page footer than you will most likely go for the leaderboard.The leaderboard is a very popular ad design and Adsense places 4 ad units on the leaderboard. The size of a leaderboard is 728 x 90 pixels. The leaderboard design converts well on most sites that use this format in the header.



  • If you want to put banner type ads on your site you should pick the 468 x 60 banner with 2 ads in it.This type of banner can be used very effectively on top of content or below it. The half banner only shows 1 ad and can be used everywhere on your site.Its size is 234 x 60 pixels. However, if you want to go for a more vertical layout of your ads the 120 x 240 pixels vertical banner may be the one you are looking for.




  • If you want to show a single ad in a very attractive way than take a look at the square 125 x 125 layout. You can combine the ad colors with an attention-grabbing background to create it stand out and you may certainly draw plenty of attention to the present ad.



  • If you need ads to be shown on one or either side of your content a skyscraper holding 3 or 4 ads can be the solution. The skyscraper was specifically designed for this purpose and its format is 120 x 600 pixels. If you would like to have more space for ads choose the 160 x 600 wide skyscraper because this one can hold 5 ads.




  • The Small Rectangle is 180 X 150 and holds one AdSense ad very well. The Medium Rectangle format allows three or four ads to be placed inside a 300 X 250 rectangle. The Large parallelogram, excellent for putting four ads within, is 336 X 280. The square measures 250 X 250 and holds up to 3 AdSense ads well.




  • If you use image-based Adsense ads, you can choose the Leader Board which you will find placed across the top of many websites. It measures 728 X 90. The Banner is smallest and that is only 468 X 60. The SkyScraper and Wide Sky Scraper are also choices for use on the sides of a webpage. Or you can choose the Medium Rectangle format. All of these image ads hold a single image.

There are numerous layouts for displaying Link Unit Adsense ads so, they'll match well into your website also. They'll be stacked, lined up across the highest or bottom and permit even as a lot of selection because of the text and image ads.

Make Money With Online Business Opportunities


Not everyone that buys a computer and gets connected to the Internet is doing so just for entertainment purposes.A lot of people these days are logging on to find ways to earn cash or even to follow their dreams of becoming an online entrepreneur and make money with online business opportunities.

Opportunities
Some people buy their computers just to try to make money online.

1.You'll need,a list (email list)

2.Chose an online business opportunity - here you can learn about business opportunities

3.Draft a short personal business plan identifying the progress you plan to make each month

Working from home with your computer can be very rewarding. But there may be some pitfalls in your journey. A couple of years ago I read a report that claimed that over 90% of people that try to make money online fail (see page one of the web site why most fail). I’m sure that is not the case now but you still have to pick and choose what type of online business you are getting involved with.

Don’t just pick an online program that claims it will pay you umpteen thousands of dollars per month. A lot of claims by program owners of high profits simply are not true. There are a lot of scams out there but we can still make money online.



Pick something that you are interested in and will use on a regular basis. For instance, if you are interested in building your own website (which would be a good place to start) then you could look for an online program that would teach you how to build your sites. If that online program that shows you how to build a website has a compensation plan then you could make some money with it by sharing it with your friends that may also want their own site.

There are a variety of different types of compensation plans that online programs use. With some, you just get paid once for the sale. Others will pay you a recurring monthly income for making the sale. And other online programs will even pay you when the members you refer also refer other members. These are called MLM compensation plans.



Choosing a program with an MLM compensation plan can be very profitable especially if it is a forced matrix plan. A forced matrix compensation plan only allows so many on your first level, generally 2 to 5. If you refer more than 2 to 5 then they would spill over to help your first level members. Can you see how you could work as a team with this type of compensation plan? Every member is working as a team for mutual profits.

But there is a caveat to watch for. You want to make sure you get credit for the people that you refer otherwise it would be a wasted effort. This article is too short to go into static versus dynamic affiliate sites or cookie referral tracking systems. If the sponsor’s name shows on the affiliate site you may want to take note of it before you join then verify that he or she is your sponsor when you log in. If your sponsor received credit for you joining then you should too. A good sponsor should contact you after you have joined from their affiliate site offering help. If they don’t you may want to contact them.

Use a buddy system. Find a friend in your local area that also wants to make money online and have them join your chosen programs from your affiliate sites. This way you can help each other learn about the program and advertise it, especially if the program has a forced matrix compensation plan. Plus you would already have started building your team. And if the program allows multiple accounts you could join each other affiliates sites with your profits, doubling and tripling your income as your team grows.

Once you have your own website you can expand from there by placing links to other programs on your site. A lot of web site host providers also have a compensation plan so that could be another source of income for you. Include your affiliate link to the program you learned how to build a website from. Advertising programs that have a good compensation plan is another way to diversify your income. You’ll need to advertise anyway. Google Adsense or similar programs are free ways to monetize your website. All the best in your endeavors to make money online. Above all have fun.

Make Money Opportunity

Do you want to make money blogging?If you do - you’re not alone. More and more bloggers are finding that blogging is a profitable medium.Whether it be to earn a few extra dollars a week to feed their coffee habit, or making enough money to stop them having to get a part-time job to get through college, or whether they’ve got it to a point where they are able to make a full time living from their blogging - there are tens of thousands of bloggers making money from blogging.

opportunity
In this page, I want to share some information for beginners on making money from their blogs.

I will start by sharing my own top Money Making Methods (updated regularly) but below that point you to some great resources and teaching on how to increase your income from blogging.

How I Make Money Blogging?

What follows is a quick summary of my main income streams from blogging. Before you read it though - keep in mind that every blog is unique in how it can make money. Some of the following income streams will work on some blogs a lot better than others - the key is to experiment with as many as possible and see what works best for you.

The following income streams (from a number of blogs) have helped me to earn a six-figure income each year for the last three years from blogging. I’ve ranked them from highest to lowest.

I hope you find it useful to see the mix and variety of ways that I earn a living from blogging.

1. AdSense

I continue to use AdSense with amazing effect on my blogs. I have them all set to show an image and text-based ads and find that 250×300 pixel ads work best (usually with a blended design). I don’t have much luck with their ‘referrals’ program but their normal ads work a treat and continue to be the biggest earner for me.

2. Chitika
chitika.com continues to be a great performer for me on my blogs.

They work best on product related blogs although their recent announcement of their Premium ad unit is exciting as they now offer ads with a non-product focus that I’m hearing great conversions on (I have one reader who is getting $28 CPM on this ad unit).Chitika offers a range of ad units that I experiment with. I find their eMiniMalls work best and that Related Product Units are also good. Their Shoplincs product isn’t performing as well as it once did for me - mainly because I’ve been promoting it less and have driven less traffic to it. Over the time I’ve been using Chitika they’ve now earned me over a quarter of a million dollars - I can’t recommend them enough!

3. Private Ad Sales/Sponsorships

private-ad-salesPrivate ad sales directly to advertisers have continued to grow over the last few months and as a result, they’re now my third highest income stream.
I expect them to overtake both Chitika and AdSense in the coming months.
This includes ad sales of the 125 x 125 ads here as well as a campaign or two.

4. Amazon Associates

Amazon’s affiliate program has been one of my big movers in the last 12 months.
I used to make a few odd dollars from it - however, in recent times it has become a significant earner for me.
This quarter it grew even more than previously as a result of continued growth of DPS where I recommend books, software, and cameras.


5. Miscellaneous Affiliate Programs

Miscellaneous affiliate programs, I run a variety of affiliate programs on my blogs - most of which bring in smaller amounts of money that don’t really justify a category of their own.
These include -products of Best affiliate program directory online:,E-junkie,affiliates.moreniche.com, amazon.com, Click2Sell, ClickBank, and Commission Junction, or independent free affiliates programs: SFI, linkelevator.com, wpremix.com Click here to view more details, hostazar.com, cubancrafters.com Webmasters Earn Money Here!, phantomplate.com, Hostgator, getpaidmail.com
, totalwellnessconsulting.ca, india-herbs.com, shelancers.com, cashspeeder.com, culvershawnmak, Picmoney's Money EmpiGuide, Unique Article Wizard, etc.
The great thing about many of these programs is that they are of such high quality that they sell themselves and I am being em ailed from readers who sign up to them thanking me for the recommendation!



6. Shopzilla
l has really impressed me with how it’s performed over the last few weeks.
It’s actually doing well enough to debut . The ads are similar to Chitika but the click values have been higher for me to this point.
They don’t offer quite as many options as Chitika does in terms of types of ads but for a new ad network, there’s definitely promising signs.
I’m looking forward to seeing how they continue to develop!

7. Job Boards

Jobboardheader The job boards here continue to grow each month in the number of advertisements that are being bought.
This enabled me to invest most of the money that they’d earned a while back into getting a new backend for the boards and to redesign them.
It hit me today that the boards are now bringing in around $1000 a month in revenue which is pretty nice considering that they are so low maintenance to run.
They also offer a service to readers and add value to the overall blog.
The only problem that I face with the job boards is that there are so many bloggers looking for work that the demand for jobs far exceeds the supply.
On the good side of things is that advertisers are reporting getting an amazing quality of applications.

8. WidgetBucks
Earn $$ with WidgetBucks
widgetbucks.jpg Another newcomer to this list is
Earn $$ with WidgetBucks
- another ad network that readers will be familiar with.

WidgetBucks is similar to Chitika and Shopzilla in many respects and works well on product related sites.
It does best on sites with US traffic (the reason I’ve not used it as much as I get a lot of international traffic) so if you have a product related site with a US audience it’d be a no brainer to try out WidgetBucks.
I’m hoping they’ll continue to expand their offerings in terms of ad types and visitor location.

9. Miscellaneous Advertising Programs

Miscellaneous ad networks -I also play with a number of other ad networks.
Some I run as tests to see if I should review them here - and some are just advertising that run in the background on some of my smaller blogs.
These include ShoppingAds, Feedburner RSS ads, Vizu (a poll advertising system), Kontera, together these don’t add up to major earnings for me - not because they are not good, but because I don’t use them heavily (a blog can only run so many ads on it).

I think that that covers most of it although it’s worth mentioning that last time I did this list I also included www.text-link-ads.com which used to be every bloggers favorite way to make money blogging by selling text links.

How To Make Money On Your Blog?

Time for a quick reader survey.How Do You Make Money On Your Blog?These have been from companies like BlogAds (AlternateURL
, Make money from your Website or Blog with BidVertiser, Adsense, Chitika Ads ) PayPerPost ( Targeted Blog Advertising With PerformancingAds and Federated Media.

It strikes me that these three models are quite varied - but that they only scratch the surface in the different methods that bloggers are using to make money from their blogs.

Make Money


So here is my question: How do you monetize your blog?

What ad networks, affiliate programs, review programs etc, do you use?

If you've read any press in the last year, you've probably come to the same conclusion we have: blogs are here to stay. In fact, the number of Internet users already reading blogs and blogging themselves may shock you.


  •  One-quarter of all Internet users read blogs - roughly 32 million American adults.
  •  9% of all Internet users say they've created a blog.
  •  American young adults, classified as ages 18-29, are most actively involved with blogging. 19% have created blogs and 36% read them.
  •  18% of Internet users over 50 years of age read blogs.
  •  Men and women are represented nearly equally in the blog-reading population.


So the audience is definitely there, but what are they reading? Everything under the sun, from plastic surgery to biking across New Zeeland. Closer to home, blogs track performance marketing strategies and the opinions of a host of online marketing professionals. The point here is that you've got a lot of people reading a great deal of highly-targeted content.

So now it makes sense to ask: can publishers effectively monetize one of the Web's last vestiges of traditionally marketing-free content to reach these tantalizing audiences? Should they? The debate is raging all over the Internet and can be best followed on, well, blogs. Some might call it greedy or sacrilege, but we think blog advertising is a line worth crossing assuming that we, as publishers, can find ways to include contextually relevant affiliate ads that provide value to blog readers. After all, hosting and ISPs don't pay for themselves!


  • 1. The first are bloggers who are writing for their friends and family. Given that they already have a trusted relationship, credibility around product recommendations is a non-issue. In a sense, friends and family can reward publishers for learning about new, often niche, products they wouldn't have learned about otherwise.
  • 2. The second [group] are people who don't necessarily call themselves bloggers or view themselves as journalists. They are just using the simple tools of blogging to publisher Web sites without having to learn HTML, so they don't have credibility issues around monetizing their blogs either.


So let's assume you fall into the categories above or that you're on board with blogging. Now it's Advertising 101, folks: know your audience and target your ads accordingly.
In other words, one can't simply throw up an apparel advertiser's banner in the middle of a blog about the experiences of a Commission Junction publisher and expect to generate commissions. However, placing a text link for a hosting offer in the space where you describe your costs as a publisher or a placing a $50 off at Yahoo! Search Marketing and when blogging about SEM are both contextually relevant and valuable to readers.

If you're already blogging, chances are there are plenty of Commission Junction advertising programs that match your content and audience. Take the lead of companies like blog search engine Blogdigger, who announced its version of a geo-targeted blog search feature recently, and implement your unique, lucrative take on blogs today!

Affiliate marketing is an online advertising channel in which advertisers (online merchants that sell products or services) pay publishers (independent parties that promote the products or services of an advertiser on their Web site) only for results, such as a visitor making a purchase or filling out a form, rather than paying simply to reach a particular audience. This "pay-for-performance" model is, in essence, the modern version of the "finders'-fee" model, where individuals who introduce new clients to a business are compensated. The difference in the case of affiliate marketing is that advertisers only pay their publishers when the new client introduction results in a sale or a lead, making it a low-risk, high-reward environment for both parties.

How it Works
Advertisers in our network, the CJ Marketplace, populate their ad links in the interface, making them available for placement by publishers. Each link is assigned a commission, such as a fixed amount per lead or a percentage of a resulting sale on the advertiser's Web site. Publishers looking to monetize their traffic apply to join an advertiser's program. Upon acceptance, the publishers select and place the advertiser's links on their Web sites, in their email campaigns or as part of search listings.

When a consumer clicks on a publisher's link, a cookie is set on the visitor's browser that identifies the advertiser, the publisher, and the specific link and payment rates. When the visitor makes an actual purchase online or fills out a form, that transaction is tracked and recorded by Commission Junction. Upon recording the transaction, Commission Junction handles all of the collection and processing required to ensure fair and timely commission payment for the publisher, and all of the administration and verification necessary to ensure quality sales and leads for the advertiser.
