Monetize your blog

There are many possibility for you to make money online, once you have a blog or perhaps some blogs. You can monetize your blog. 

1. Paid to write review 
I have told about this in earlier post

2. Affiliate links
You can visit affiliatebot.com to get more information about what product or service you can affiliate. 
Amazon.com provide also some products you can link as affiliate.

3. AdSense Google
Well, some people are lucky to have some dollars from this Adsense. You just put some code in your blog and left it. Adsense will arrange some advertise that fits with the theme of your blog. You just check how much money you get a month. The more traffic you have, the more money possibly come to your account :) I got just some small bucks, because the traffic in my blog is not so big.


4. Donations, but I still don't know how to do it. I think I will learn about it, once I help or assist a charity foundation or for fundraising.


5. RSS feed adverts
People say that it works, but I don't learn about it either. 

And so on.

You can see, there are many ways to make money online.

The similarity of Blogging and Farming

Many people would like to earn money online for additional income or perhaps as the main income. But then they are frustrated because it so slows. Yes. There is no quick rich scheme in the world, even in this blogging. 

Just think like a farmer. They plow the soil first, and then put fertilizer and plant some seeds. And let it grow until it harvest.  Blogging is just similar like that. What you need is your creativity and your time to write something.

The farmer gets or buys a field, the blogger creates a blog. The farmer plows and fertilizes the soil, the blogger writes some good posts. The farmer looks for the market for the upcoming harvest,  the blogger registrants  his or her blog in some paid to review websites. Once the blogger gets order from the website, that's your harvest time :)   

And it does not take times too long to harvest. It can be a week, or a month, you just need write 20 -30 posts in your blog to  be accepted by those paid to review websites.

 

The Quick Way to Make Money from Blog

Perhaps you have written some posts in your blog. You have registered your blog in some 'paid to review' websites. There is a possibility that you are disappointed, that the payment is just small amount and it;s not enough for daily life. That's true. You are new comer. But imagine if you are well known in blogging  world, you will be busy just to write review and you can do it all from home. 

The quickest way to make money online from blog for the newcomer is to sell something in your blog. You can sell things like bags, accessories, or even your service. 

Like this, I am teacher of German, and I write about some German grammars with the explanation and some examples. Well, you can imagine, many people call me and ask me whether I could  teach them German individually. And my answer is of course, yes, because teaching is my job. 

I don't need advertising to promote myself again. And people trust me, because they can see what I've done through what I shared in my blog www.les-bahasa-jerman,blogspot.com. 

In my blog under my own name, I sell bags and earrings from India. I bought them when I traveled in India last year. I put some pictures when I was in Taj Mahal and some places in India I visited. They bought them happily, because the readers know, the things are real India. 

So, just think, what kind of things or service you can sell in your blog. Please remember the theme of your blog. The things you sell or the service you provide should be related with the theme. Otherwise, people will confuse with your blog. Fortunately, you can have blogs as many as possible. So, let's start blogging :)

Paid to Writing Review

Many people have created blogs. Blog is firstly to write down the feelings, the stories people have and no chance to be published in the usual media. Well, media has their own limitation.

And nowadays the function of blogs change a bit. Many creative people see the possibility to make money from blogging. As I mentioned before, we can write some review about some products because we have ever used them. Perhaps we like it or perhaps we don't like it. And we can write about them and make money from our writings.

This activity is called "paid to writing review", "paid review" etc. Many website provide this service like :

1. Sponsored Review 

This is the sponsor review website I use for the first time. until present. The payment is good and fast. To have order, they will offer us a job and we accept or decline it. Meanwhile, we can bid some jobs in their own website.

2. Blogvertise

This website pays my article higher than Sponsor Review, but I got so seldom order from them. Because we just wait until they give us an order. 

3. buyblogreviews.com

4. blogadvertising.com

And there are many other websites, you can search in the internet. Just click "paid for writing" in the google, and in a couple seconds you will find them.

Good luck!!

   

Decide the theme of your Blog

You have already created a blog, and now what you should do? Write your posts. But firstly, you have to decide what theme is your blog. Like I said before, you can start with everything close to your life. It is ok, to talk about what education, about food you like, about books you have read or whatever.

Theme is very important. It is similar like a store. If we need a dictionary, we go to the bookstore. If we need vegetables, we go to the grocery, right?

As for me, I studied German and teach German. So I write down about German grammar. I started this blog since 2009, and now the visitors are more than 36.000 clicks. Creating blogger in blogspot is free and PR (Page Rank) is zero, but now my blog about German lessons www.les-bahasa-jerman.blogspot.com gets PR 1. I am so happy with that.

I know, people would like to know me, and I like to share people what I have done in my life. So I have other blog under my own name. Actually, this is the first I have :). Some people visit my blog because of the curious to know me, or they found something interesting in my blog. 

So decide your theme is very important step. Especially, if you want to make money from blog. Because once your blog ready, you will register your blog under one theme or some related themes.
