Simple But Effective Blog Monetization For Internet Marketers

By Ron Stucky


If you have been attempting to make a little extra cash online as an online marketer, chance are that you have already started up your blog. You may have set it up so that you could expose your business to the public and create new relationships with possible new clients. Have you ever thought about turning your blog into a source of income? Although many online marketers only see their blog as a way to earn an online living, it can also be used as a way to get just passive or supplemental income. In this article, we will list a few things that can be done to create a supplemental income with your blog.

Create a review of Amazon products and post it on your blog. You can opt what products to write about which is one of the biggest advantages of this strategy. Amazon has an excellent referral and affiliate program meaning that if someone buys a product or a book through the link on your blog, you get a decent percentage of the sale. The easiest way to make plenty of sales via this strategy is to create in-depth reviews to give people some idea of they will be buying but without giving it all away.

Posting a widget on a sidebar will not be as effective as writing reviews for products. Not only will you make more sales, you'll be better endearing yourself to the people who read your blog. Sell advertising space on your sidebars direct to companies. You can set aside a certain amount of sidebar space for advertisers. You can sell different sized graphic advertisements at various prices. You can make more money by selling directly to advertisers, but you can still choose to use an ad network for this endeavor. By making the sale direct, you can avoid paying the network a percentage of the sale. You have greater control over how long an ad stays up and who places it there.

Post text ads on your sidebars. You can't ask the same prices for text ads as you can for graphic ads but you can fit more of them in meaning that your earnings should be similar. Test ads and their low price tempt advertisers because it's a way to test your blog without paying a fortune for a graphic ad. For an average month, text ads sell for about ten dollars per month. You will be able to charge a little more if your blog is extremely popular. Andbecause you can fit two or three in the space normally reserved for a graphic ad, you might even be able to bring more money in with them.

There are plenty of options when it comes to using your blog to generate additional cash. Blogs are excellent for many business objectives in internet marketing but you can also monetize it for you. These are suggestions you can use to monetize your blog.
