Blogging for Newbies: Part 2
filed in Blogging Tips, Making Money on Jul.28, 2009
Hey everyone. This is the second article relating to Blogging for Newbies. Thanks to everyone who has left a comment for the first article. Here are some more ways of monetizing your blog if you choose to do so. Please feel free to leave some more comments.
Here we go:
Number 1: The first and probably most popular way to monetize your blog would be to sell some advertising space. I would only suggest doing this once your blog is popular. That way you can charge a relatively high price for the ad space on your blog.
Number 2: You can get paid to blog meaning that you can write blogs for other people. The only thing you would need to do this is a paypal account. Paypal is easy and free to join. Some of the free to join blogging networks include:
PayPerPost
Smorty
ReviewMe
BlogsVertise
Bloggerwave
Remember, these are only a handful of the dozens of blogging networks that are available. Just do a simple search on google or yahoo and you should find plenty of popular blogging networks. Also, you probably will not make much money from blogging networks at first. Again, once your blog becomes popular, then this route is a good way to go!!
Number 3: Join an affiliate program like amazon or commission junction. These are pretty simple and straight forward. Just promote whatever products you want and when a product sells, you earn a commission from that product.
Number 4: You can also join some ad networks. These are networks where you can place an advertisement on your blog and you earn when someone clicks on the ad or when the ad is shown 1000 times. These are called cpc and cpm respectively. These are also free and easy to join.
Number 5: You can also join a text link site where you can earn by selling text links on your blog. The most popular text link site is Text Link Ads. Very simple and easy to join program.
Number 6: Google Adsense. Google will pay you to place banners on your site and when someone clicks on that banner, you will get paid. Easy and simple to include on your site.
All 6 ways of monetizing your blog that I have mentioned above are all easy and free to join programs. Always, remember to never pay for any of the services above!!
Thanks and I wish you the best!!

















All new bloggers have to start somewhere. For the people who are new to blogging, there are so many things you can write about in your blog. You can write about your hobbies, friends, family, school, sports, what’s on tv, or anything you can think of. Take my advice, write about something you are passoniate about. No matter what it is, just make sure you love the topic.
