Ways to
Make Money with Blogs
Advertising
Programs
CPC advertising programs are the best money making programs for most of the
bloggers. They are suitable to all kind of blogs with family-friendly
content regardless of their traffic level and age. CPC programs work well on
blog because they display contextual ads that are highly relevant to blogs
content and bloggers will earn anywhere between 10 cents to 50 cents for
each contextual ads click by their visitors. With proper CPC ads
optimization and consistent amount of traffic, a blogger can earn a steady
amount of money displaying CPC ads on his/her blog.
Google AdSense is no doubt, the undisputed king of CPC advertising
programs and
Yahoo Publisher Network is the closest alternative of AdSense.
2) Cost-Per-Action (CPA) Advertising
Programs
CPA programs is quite similar to CPC programs except CPA programs don't pay
bloggers for each click on the CPA ads hosted by bloggers. The blogger only
makes money when the visitor takes an action on the CPA advertiser website.
The action can be a sign up, making a purchase, generating a lead,
downloading a product and more. CPA networks pay a lot more than CPC
programs, for a visitor sent by the blogger from his/her blog to a CPA
advertiser website and the visitor taken an action on the advertiser site,
the blogger can earn few dollar to fifty dollar depend on the niche. But CPA
ads tend to work well on large traffic blogs only.
AzoogleAds.com,
Commission Junction and
Advertising.com are some of the largest CPA networks.
3) Promote Affiliate Programs
Marketing affiliate programs is very common nowadays. You sign up with
affiliate program of an online company, then decide whether to use the
company's text link or banner ads on your blog to promote the company's
products or services and earn affiliate commission when a visitor make a
purchase through your affiliate link. Affiliate programs can be promoted
without a website and blog too.
4) Pay Per Post Programs
Pay per post programs started last year. The programs pay bloggers to write
a blog post about a sponsor's website. The paid blog post can be a review or
an introduction on the advertiser's website, products or services. The
blogger will be paid a least $5 for each sponsor post. Blogs that have
massive traffic, high Google PR and large number of subscribers can charge a
few hundred dollar for just writing one sponsor post. Here's are the two
most popular Pay per post networks that offer this type of earning
opportunities:

The downside of pay per post is that writing too many sponsor posts that are
not relevant to your blog content can seriously affect your traffic.

revenue. It is not difficult to get started, just go to
