Blogging and Making Money
Author: Rugjeff


Today, there are many bloggers who maintains their blog website
as a business. They make money out of blogging. This is a trend
widely accepted by online businesses. Capitalizing on blogs,
popularity, corporate America has used the opportunity to get
closer to their clients and potential customers.

There are many bloggers in the internet that makes a decent
living by just blogging. If you want to make money out of
blogging, it is important to remember that not every blog is
right for making money.

First of all, you should ask yourself why you blog.

Many people have different reasons on why they blog. Here are
some of them:

*       For recreational purposes *     For promoting business *        As a
personal diary *        To help others *        To make friends *       To date *
For fun *       To be known *   To make a living

You can blog for many reasons; you can blog for fun and at the
same time, to make a living out of it if it is possible.

To make money out of blogging, you should first understand the
two types of earning methods in blogging: The Direct Income
Method and; the Indirect Income Method.

In direct income method, you can earn money directly from blogs.
In indirect income method, you can earn money because of your
blog.

One great way to earn income from your blog is through affiliate
programs. This program works by getting a commission for
referring a visitor or reader from your blog website to buy a
product or service from the company you signed up as an
affiliate. To succeed in this type of method, you should choose
an affiliate that is related to the topics discussed in your
blog website. This is because visitors in your blog are targeted
internet traffic; you don't want to affiliate with a pet store
if your site and blog is about guns.

Asking your readers for a tip may seem ridiculous, but it might
work. If you already have a large number of loyal readers in
your blog and actively participating in it, you can ask them to
donate money for your blog. Remember that you should first
create a large number of loyal readers before you ask for
donations.

Another great way to make money out of your blogs is to sell
stuff, like t-shirts, mugs and other small things that you can
personalize. Create your own logo and post the designs on your
blogs. This is great if your readers are loyal to your blog,
they may want to buy something that would make them part of the
group.

You can create a subscription based blog. Asking for payment to
view your blog and participate in it would generate income.
However, there are many blogs out there that may offer the same
topic as yours for free. Since free is preferred more than fee,
this type of method can rarely succeed. To make this work you
may need to be a real expert on a specific topic.

Selling blogs is another way to make money out of blogs. For
this, you may need to create a great website in order for it to
sell. It should also have a large readership to make this work.
You can successfully sell blogs in an auction sites, many buyers
will take a look at your blog first and determine if there are a
large number of readers and also take a look at the quality of
the website.

Some readers will be someone who seeks writers to employ. If you
write a good article about a specific topic in your blog, these
people may probably hire you to write for them, either for their
website or offline as a freelance writer for a newspaper or
magazine. You and your skills are discovered through your blog.
Your reputation is also important for this to work. Your blog
should be able to attract large amount of readers and also
remain loyal to you.

Another way to make money is through speaking opportunities. For
this, you need to impress readers on what you write about in
your blog. Readers can sometimes be a scout looking for someone
to speak for their seminars or workshops. Some request might ask
you to speak for a seminar for free and some might pay you. Do
not reject requests on speaking for free; this is because it
will be beneficial for your reputation. Be patient, more offers
will come that will be offering payment for your speaking
services.
