There are quite a few ways that you can create an income from your blog. I will cover a couple here.
The first and most common way to turn a blog into a profit making machine is to sell advertising to different companies and brands who want to reach that blog's readers.
A similar but different method is to blog on a certain topic or in a certain niche wher you can suggest products or services to your readers in exchange for a commission.
These are two of many methods that can be used to create profits from your blog.
If your main goal is to sell advertising, you can either you can use a third party system to generate your income or recruit your advertisers yourself and keep all the money.
Within the first group, many people make money blogging by selling space through Google's AdSense program.
It also saves you the work of finding prospects to advertise on your blog.
However, most people discover that they make less money through this method than they had hoped that their blog would earn.
Recruiting your own sponsors can definitely provide a better source of income but it can take time to find people that want to put sponsored links and banners on your blog.
If you have a lot of contacts in industries that are related to the topic of your blog, you may want to try to go this route.
People who have a strong background in sales and are experienced at pitching proposals can make quite a bit of money by renting blog space to interested companies.
With either of these methods you might run accross the problem of not having enough readers. To make profits with the third party system and/or to attract sponsors you will usually need to have established either a fair amount of readers or a good search engine placement.
Blogging is becoming more and more popular every day and there are a lot of companies that are looking for ways to get their piece of the pie.
Some companies have their own blogs that they run in house to provide information about their products and services.
Often, a company will employ an established blogger to create a weblog designed specifically to appeal to that company's customers and to create positive associations with the brand in consumers' minds.
More than one writer who never even dreamed that he or she could make money blogging has been approached by a company and offered quite a pretty penny for this kind of gig. - 16036
