Effective Blog Monetization that Gets the Job Done Right

By Steve Brown


Blogging may have become one of the most sought out online jobs but the question is whether every blog is profitable or not. Not many, because unless and until you're using a proven method to monetize your blog, it's not possible to generate an income. This article will offer a few methods you can use to turn your blog into a profit making machine.

You aren't limited to only one approach when it comes to blog monetization. One excellent way to monetize your blog that many bloggers don't use is via memberships. You can convince your audience to pay for content by offering them excellent free information first. This model also goes by the name of "freemium", which means that people first get free content and then need to pay a membership fee to receive access to the full content. Niches where people need solutions are prime candidates for this approach. Since people are constantly trying to lose weight and are looking for new ways to do it, this is a perfect niche. So if your blog falls into one such niche, you can easily create a membership site out of it and make use of the freemium model to get the maximum returns.

You can choose to write reviews for the products and services that you have an affiliation with. This will not only help you generate good commission, but it will also establish you as an authority in your niche. You can give your honest opinion about different products and services that are relevant to your area of expertise and talk about the disadvantages and advantages. The way to make this effective is to be as genuine as you can. This is the only way you'll be able to win their trust and deliver value. For instance, if you find an interesting book on Amazon to read, you can review it for your readers once you have read the book. When you readers are in search of a good review, in time they will start coming to your blog. This will make sure that they get products on your blog.

You can also choose to sell space on your blog by advertising space on the BuySellAds Network. If you discover that you have a large number of daily readers you might want to put your blog on this network and see if it will get the attention of advertisers who want to advertise on your blog. You have to keep in mind that the reason why anyone would want to put their ads on your blog in the first place is because they actually want to see results. So it's good to wait a while before your traffic builds up (if your blog is new) before you go for such a network to run banner ads.

Maybe, you now understand how wonderful it can be to monetize your blog in the right manner. Don't make the mistake of delaying to monetize your blog while you can because if you're not making money with your blog then, you're simply not getting the most out of it. So go on and apply these few tips and make real money with your blog.
