There are several types of business models that entrepreneurs use to make money blogging.
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 selling advertising is your main goal you have a couple of choices, you can use established services that are ready to go or you can go out on your own and look for sponsors for you blog.
There are quite a few established third party services you can use to place advertising on your site like Google Adsense and Yahoo! Publishers Network by joining either one of these you can have ads on your site quickly.
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.
Searching and finding your own clients willing to place sponsored ads on your blog definitely has the potential for creating a much better income but it will take more time and effort to get the ads on your blog.
If you are working in a niche that you know well the first thing you should do is try to contact others in that niche that you think might benefit from advertising on your blog.
If you have experience pitching products and services you can try to your own direct sales with companies that have products in your niche but this method does require you to know at least a little about salemanship.
The most serious problem with this model is that you often have to build quite a sizable readership before you can attract advertisers, which can mean that you have to do several months of work before you start to make money blogging.
Today people, companies and even politicians are aware of the power of a blog and they are all trying to carve out their own little section of the blogosphere.
Sometimes they will establish their own company blog that will provide information about their company and product.
Other companies will want to outsource their blogging to experienced bloggers that will let them get the brand recognition and build a relationship with the customer through a third party endorsement.
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
