In need of some new ideas to generate money from your blog? There’s quite a few ways to monetize your blog. Here are a few of my favorite ways of making money from my blogs.
- Pay per click (PPC) ads. Pretty self explanatory. You get paid every time someone clicks the ad.
- Affiliate ads (CPA). Here you get paid a percentage of the sale. You only get paid if someone buys something.
- CPM pays you per number of impressions that the ad is loaded on your blog. This is good if you feel like you have a lot of traffic that is rather unproductive.
- RSS ads. You place ads on your sites, why not on your rss feed as well?
- Donations. If you run a relatively ad-free site that provides useful information to your visitors, consider adding a donate button from paypal.
- Information products. Create your own product like an ebook and offer it for sale to your blog visitors.
- Sponsored posts. Companies may want you to review their product and provide a link back to their site.
- Members area. You could have a free section and a paid section of your site. Offer access to this premium section for a monthly fee. The benefit of this is recurring income which is better than one time income.
- Listings. If you have a site about a city such as “San Diego Fine Dining” you can charge local businesses to be listed in your directory. If you run a local real estate site you can charge realtors to list their properties for sale there. You get the idea.
- Sell ad space. Are you making $15/mo from an adsense spot on your blog? Sell it to an advertiser for $20 instead.
