How to make money with blogging

You can make money with blogging. It can pay for your bills. It does work for everyone. There’s no secret and you’ll just really need to know how to get started and which blogging framework to follow.

It’s not a difficult process at all and this post will provide 5 methods you can use to generate substantial income from blogging. These 5 methods are strategies you can adopt right from the beginning.

1. The “Pay per Post” or Get Paid to Blog

This is rather simple. Set up multiple niche blogs on either your own domains or free blog hosts like Blogger. Maintain them over a period of time and focus on writing content and building up their Google PageRank and Alexa Rank.

Submit all your blogs to multiple get paid to blog websites like

blogitive

blogsvertise

reviewme

sponsoredreviews

payperpost

loudlaunch

and then start writing sponsored posts. I highly recommending using PayperPost as they simply have the largest amount of paid offers available.

2. The Automated Blogging

Automated blogging involves the setting up of blogs which automatically pull content from RSS feeds, search engines and news sources to serve as content on your website.

Some bloggers set this to pull partial excerpts of RSS feeds, which does go against some copyrights and one can choose to only include excerpts with a link back to the site in question. Monetization for automated sites is usually done through contextual ads like Google Adsense or affiliate programs.

3. Use Google Adsense

This involves setting up a blog around a specific topic with moderately high paid keywords (example : insurance, car loans). You’ll only need to create around 25 keyword rich articles on the topic, optimize it for search, set up Adsense or affiliate programs and then leave them alone.

The main emphasis is on building links to the specific webpages, according to the long tail keywords you want to target. Search engine visitors will then find your blog and either click on the ads or convert on a product.

4. The Blog Network

This involves joining a blog network and getting paid to maintain and create content for blogs. You’ll get paid according to the amount of pageviews, possibly receive a token base fee in the hundreds or a share of the blog’s ad revenue.

5. The Blog as Marketing

This method will only apply if you own an online business or provide a freelance service like web design, copy writing or marketing consultation. A blog can be used to help promote your personal or business brand and attract more customers.

This is an indirect method of making money. Ideally, this sort of a blog shouldn’t be plastered with ads or paid reviews because it can tarnish the image of the brand.
