My Personal Income Streams

As an update to this post I’ve more recently written one on How I make Money Blogging which highlights the most profitable ways that I use blogs to generate income. I’ve also written extensively on how bloggers make money in ProBlogger the Book.

How do bloggers make money from blogs?

How-Bloggers-Make-Money I’ve been reflecting this week about the amazing diversity of opportunities that are opening up for bloggers to make money from blogging.

I’ve long advised that bloggers seeking to make money from blogging spread their interests across multiple revenue streams so as not to put all their eggs in one basket.

The wonderful thing is that this is becoming easier and easier to do 2005 has seen many options opening up. I thought I’d take a look at some of the methods that bloggers are currently using to make money through blogs.

Income Streams for Bloggers – How to Make Money Blogging

Advertising Programs – Perhaps the most obvious changes in the past few months have been with the addition of a variety of viable advertising options for bloggers looking to make money from their blogs. The most common way bloggers seem to earn money online is via the contextual ad program from Google – Adsense. A more recent addition that many are using successfully are Chitika’s eMiniMalls and WidgetBucks, Text Link Ads.

Azoogle Ads, Intelli Txt, DoubleClick, Tribal Fusion, Adbrite, Clicksor, AdHearUs, Kanoodle, Pheedo, TextAds, Bidvertiser, Fastclick and Value Click (to name just some of the options) and there is a smorgasbord of options. Of course there is more to come with MSN Adcenter and YPN both in beta testing and with a variety of other advertising system currently in development (YPN is only available to US publishers).

Lastly there’s BlogAds – one of the first blog specific ad networks.

RSS Advertising – The past 12 months have seen some advances in RSS Advertising also. I’m yet to hear of any bloggers making big money blogging through it to this point – but as improvements are made to the ad programs exploring this I’m sure we’ll start to see examples of it being profitable.

Sponsorship – In addition to the array of advertising programs that are available to join there is a growing awareness in the business of the value and opportunity that exists for them to advertise directly on blogs. I’m hearing more and more examples of this and have been fortunately to have a couple of ad campaigns of my own in the past month – one with Adobe a couple of weeks ago and another just completed with Ricoh for a new digicam over at my Digital Camera Blog. These are not isolated cases – as I say I know of many blogs exploring sponsorship with advertisers at present and suspect we’ll see more of it in the year ahead. Sponsorship is also happening on a post by post basis with some bloggers being paid to write on certain topics by companies – either in one off or a regular fashion – and they are able to make big money from their blogs doing so.

Affiliate Programs – There are larger affiliate programs like Amazon, Linkshare, Clickbank and Commission Junction but also literally thousands of others from the large to the very small.

Digital Assets – Increasing numbers of bloggers have been developing other digital assets to support and add revenue streams to their blogs. By this I mean that I’m increasingly seeing e-books, courses and tele-seminars being run by bloggers. My recent foray into this with the first series of the six figure blogging course that Andy and I ran a few weeks ago and have just released the study version of. This type of activity will only increase in future – in fact this week I’ve seen numerous examples of bloggers running courses.

Blog Network Opportunities – with the rise in popularity of Blog Networks – bloggers are also being presented with more places to earn an income from their blogging – by writing for and with others. While it might be difficult to get a writing gig with one of the bigger networks – there are plenty who are always asking for new bloggers to join and who are willing to pay bloggers using a variety of payment models. While there are distinct advantages of blogging for yourself – blogging for an established network who will handle a lot of the set up/promotion/admin/SEO etc has it’s advantages also. More and more bloggers are combining writing for themselves on their own blogs with taking on blog network blogs as additional income streams.

Business Blog Writing Opportunities – as blogging has risen in it’s profile as a medium more and more businesses are starting blogs. Many of these companies have internal staff take on blogging duties – but an increasing number of them are hiring specialist bloggers to come on and run their blogs. I know of a number of bloggers who in the past month or two have been approached for such paid work. Check out Bloggers for Hire if you’re looking for this type of work.

Non Blogging Writing Opportunities – Also becoming more common are bloggers being hired to write in non blogging mediums. Manolo’s recent coup of a column in the Washington Post is just one example of this as bloggers are increasingly being approached to write for newspapers, magazines and other non blog websites. Along side this is the rise of bloggers as published book authors – this is to the extent that one blogger I spoke with this week complained to me that they were one of the few bloggers than they knew who didn’t have a book deal!

Donations – Tip Jars and donation buttons have been a part of blogging for years now but this last year saw a number of bloggers go full time after fund raising drives. Perhaps the most high profile of these was Jason Kottke of kottke.org who through the generosity of his readership was able to quit his job and become a full time blogger.

Flipping Blogs – Also more common in 2005 was the practice of ‘Blog Flipping’ – or selling of blogs. This has happened both on an individual blog level (I can think of about 20 blogs that sold this year) but also on a network level (the most obvious of these being the 8 figure sale of Weblogs Inc to AOL).

Merchandising – My recent attempt to sell ProBlogger.net T-shirts wasn’t a raging success, but it is an example of how an increasing number of bloggers are attempting to make a few extra dollars from their blogs by selling branded products through programs like Cafepress. While I didn’t have a lot of success with merchandising – quite a few larger blogs are seeing significant sales – especially blogs with a cult following. I’m not at liberty to discuss details – but I know of one largish blog which will see sales over $20,000 in merchandise for the calendar year of 2005.

Consulting and Speaking – While it has been popular for established consultants to add blogs to their businesses we’re also starting to see bloggers with no consulting background able to make money by charging readers for their time in consulting scenarios BECAUSE of the profile that their blogs have built them. Blogging has the ability to establish people as experts on niche topics and we all know the value of being perceived as an expert. I spoke to one blogger last month who charges himself out at over $200 an hour for speaking and consulting work – his area of expertise was something that he knew little about 18 months ago – but through his blog he’s become a leader in his field and a minor celebrity in his industry.

As time rolls on there are more and more ways that bloggers make money from their blogs opening up. Feel free to suggest your own ideas and experiences in comments below.

i have been reading your blogs for quite sometime, instead of blogging about how to make more money, why not “how blogger ask for donation from their blogs” for their emergency situation ( with a good intention).

perhaps you could start one, blog-for-a-good-cause, where bloggers / readers donate some money for a good cause. i would love to start one, but am short of money.
Darren Rowse

October 25th, 2005 10:35 pm

thanks for the suggestion ngan – unfortunately that’s not quite where this blog is at. The only bloggers I’ve seen make much from donations are blogs that have a very very large readership or a very very loyal readership.

People tend to only make donations to bloggers that they have some sort of established relationship with.

Thanks for another post on how to expand your “Business”. First, Blogging should be for fun, if not you’ll quit. If you’re trying to earn some money then spreading it our over multiple streams is a great idea. All of the successful Bloggers have multiple income streams generated by Blogging.

If you have a store and only sell hammers, you’ll go out of business fast. Thanks for the post.

theenglishguy – I had an email off the same company yesterday and dropped Darren a line to see if he had heard of them.

Looks like they are on the hunt for people to use their advertising model.

If you use them, let me know how you get on…. Until I see someone else using it and not being ripped off, I’m unwilling to commit myself, as it would mean replacing adsense ads…..

I think sponsorship will be the next big thing – once companies realise they can cut out the middle man and deal direct with the people that run websites, they will begin to see worthwhile advertising streams that are no longer about clicks but about brand saturation. Associate your brand with one of the blogging world big hitters and, unless the blogger does something controversial and offkey, it should work.

Although direct sponsorship may not work that well with sites doing product reviews (accusations of bias will no doubt emerge), sites that are merely providing a service could reap huge rewards from direct sponsorship – ie news sites dealing with particular sports may well tie in with a sport equipment manufacturer etc.

I know one Swiss guy who sells individual blog postings as pieces of art: http://jeanrichard.blogspot.com/. I guess this is a rather unique form of “Digital Assets”. Personally, I can’t understand why anybody would buy his stuff, but as far as I know he’s doing OK – which probably means I’m an arts ignoramus :-).
Peter Brady - Ads On Blogs

October 26th, 2005 2:13 am

Interesting post. I think whilst there are many revenue alternatives out there, our research of the top 500 blogs showed the existing favoured methods to be Adsense (30%) and Blogads (18%). We didn’t analyse it, but I would also say a large proportion of blogs incorporated a prominent PR angle for an upcoming book, product or consultancy offering. No doubt we will see some dramatic changes in these numbers over the next 12 months, as some of the more innovative ad platforms work through the system. I guess one revenue possibility to watch, could be the monetizing of podcasts as part of incorporated blog content. I think Mr Calacanis is playing with that one at the moment.
George

October 26th, 2005 3:30 am

I find YPN pays the most out of these programs I have: AdSense, Chitika’s eMiniMalls, YPN, and CrispAds. One click using YPN translates to having over 10 clicks on AdSense. Now only if it was more contextual like Adsense. But I think this is a problem due to the fact that there are not as many advertisers using Yahoo yet.

October 26th, 2005 8:30 am

Great topic Darren. I have noticed that some sites use multiple add programs e.g. adsense and chikita. I thought it was a condition of the adsense contract that “competing adds” were not allowed. Is a “competing add” any add, an add that looks like a google add, or an add that promotes a similar product to a googe add? The term “competing” is very broad.
Stuart

October 26th, 2005 9:15 am

I think that there is a very interesting lesson tucked away in Darren’s experience of trying merchandising on this site.

It has to do with the demographics of the people who visit the site. It’s worth sitting back and thinking about the type of people who visit this site and the item(s) that Darren was/is offering for sale.

If you think it through it certainly could help you when you want to think about the sort of things you should be offering to the people who visit your sites.
Darren Rowse

October 26th, 2005 9:36 am

Joe – I’ve talked about how you can use Chitika and Adsense togetehr at Chitika eMiniMalls Review and Chitika eMiniMalls Tips.

They don’t compete because they (chitika) are not contextual and they also look quite different to Adsense ads.

I was searching through old ProBlogger posts about t-shirt sales, and you’ve seem to have a poor opinion of Cafepress.

A couple quotes.

2005/08/31 – I like quite a few things about the host of my shop – cafepress.com – however there are a few limitations.

2005/05/14 – Cafepress is something to avoid like the plague. It reeks of low quality and you will take a hit in sales just for using it.

Any reason why you’re sticking with them?

I signed up for Chitika and for One Monkey. The reason I went for One Monkey is I didn’t believe my blogs were getting enough traffic to work with the other sources (I’m still trying to get Chitika to work due to my blog provider, but that should be up soon.) plus they pay a high royalty (80%) and give control over the income. I basically figured I’d do Chitika and then I’d do one ad service as well.

Hi All,

Read the interesting article by Darren. I am currently researching into the market for blogging in Europe. So far, my research suggests there are about 8 million blogs across Europe. France leads with about 3.5 million blogs, UK comes second with 2.5 million. The third country of my interest, Germany, has only 0.2 million blogs. Now, I have 2 questions:
1) Can anyone tell me why, in spite of the impressive broadband penetration, Germans do not blog as much as the French or the British do?
2) Given that there are 8 million blogs in Europe now (this includes various genres and types) and the various revenue-earning possibilites that Darren discussed, what would be the European market for blogging in dollar terms?

I decorated my blog for Christmas, with a countdown, artwork and seasonal colors. Then I put tiny thumbnails of all of the Christmas ornaments I have listed at E-Bay down the sidebar, with each linked to its auction.

Some of these ornaments have been listed several times and never got a nibble, but now they are getting more page views and bids.

This doesn’t conflict with AdSense policy does it? Technically the thumbnails aren’t “ads” (I keep telling myself nervously – LOL) I find the AdSense language about running their ads in competition with other ads confusing. Please tell me I am not going to have the Google police after me – LOL

December 7th, 2005 2:13 am

While the current Pay Per Click advertising programs, led by Google’s Adsense particularly, are the major source of income from blogging – we should all bear in mind that it wasn’t very long ago that PPC wasn’t the succesful business model it is today, and very likely could disappear in an instant such is the rate of change within our industry.

Two years from now, how we blog, whether personal, corporate, or as a niche-targetting proBlogger, could be very different depending on the changes to advertising programs. We may even find we no longer use the word ‘blog’.

I think a blog, as an adjunct or compliment to your regular business, stands the most chance of making money. After all, Donald Trump doesn’t “make money” with his blog. But it’s a nice compliment to his main business…… The chance of a stand-alone blog making any dough is very slim, I think. As a compliment to your main business, be it selling widgets or some service, it serves to reinforce you as a brand-name and give you some legitimacy as a brand name.

If you’re interested in taking it further — blogging for bucks, if you will — here are five strategies that could turn your blog into a moneymaker.

Sell advertising. This is likely the most common means of leveraging a blog to generate income. If yours happens to become a well-known blog, or one that is well-received in a particular niche, it’s always possible to sell ad space on your own. For lesser-known blogs, services such as Google’s AdSense or BlogAds enable bloggers to establish ad programs.

Help sell others’ products. Here is another click-through opportunity. Affiliate programs enable your blog to serve as a conduit between readers and online sites offering various goods and services. One popular choice is Amazon.com.

Solicit contributions. Not every blog-related income opportunity involves hawking goods or services. As Blanche DuBois did in “A Streetcar Named Desire,” consider relying on the kindness of strangers. Ask for contributions.

Market your services in your blog. Many people associate blogs exclusively with a cyberspace-based soapbox — a place to shout your opinions and little more than that. Granted, blogs are an ideal venue to share your thoughts with others, but don’t overlook their capacity to generate new business as well.

Use a blog to deepen your existing customer relationships. Nor does any marketing material inserted in blog content have to be limited to bringing in completely new business.

January 23rd, 2006 8:50 pm

[...] (5) Advertenties . Ontwikkelt een weblog kritische massa, dan liggen hier misschien mogelijkheden. Ook al meldde Emerce deze zomer dat de meeste Nederlandse marketeers de weblogs het komend jaar links laten liggen, de interesse ontwaakt wel. Eén op de vijf marketeers wil “iets” gaan doen met weblogs, een stijging van 10 procent vergeleken met een jaar eerder. Welk deel van dat voornemen in advertenties gaat resulteren is onduidelijk; er zijn natuurlijk ook andere manieren om weblogs bij het aanprijzen van je product of dienst in te schakelen. Als onderdeel van “blogkoepels” (zoals Gawker, WeblogsInc en VNU/Emerce) en affiliate programs (een vorm van e-commerce: de blogger ontvangt commissie als mensen, bij voorbeeld, via een verwijzing op zijn site zaken gaan doen met een externe leverancier) staan weblogs sterker. Vorig jaar sloot Emerce een advertentie revenue share overeenkomst met de weblogs Frankwatching.com, Yme.nl en dekoopman.net. “Alleen de grotere blogs”, schrijft blogger Michiel Frackers, “kunnen aansluiting vinden bij een advertentieverkoopnetwerk (…). Een eigen salesorganisatie opzetten is alleen voor groepen weblogs weggelegd of voor weblogs die aansluiting vinden bij een al bestaande organisatie.” In Amerika hebben de “koepels” Gawker en WeblogsInc een bonte verzameling thematische weblogs om zich heen verzameld, waaronder de politieke blog Wonkette. Er is geëxperimenteerd met shared revenue-modellen (waarbij de blogger deelt in de advertentie-opbrengsten), maar dat beviel ze niet. Tijdens de Les Blogs conferentie schreef Anton van Elburg daar een reportage over. Er gebeurt van alles op dit front. Een jaar geleden werd bekend dat Gawker Media’s nieuwe blog Lifehacker $75,000 van Sony ontving voor een exclusief advertentiecontract van 3 maanden. Welke dynamiek zich op advertentiegebied ontwikkelt, laat Darren Rowse op zijn Problogger zien (deze Rowse verdient naar eigen zeggen een zescijferig jaarinkomen met zijn blogs). Naast AdSense en BlogAds noemt hij een lange reeks nieuwkomers op advertentie-, syndicatie- en affiliate gebied: Chitika’s eMiniMalls, Adgenta, CrispAds, Text Link Ads, Intelli Txt, Tribal Fusion, Adbrite, Kanoodle, AVN, Pheedo, TextAds, Fastclick en OneMonkey. En hij verwacht ook het nodige van MSN Adcenter en YPN, die hun advertentiesystemen nu nog aan het testen zijn. Net als in de gewone journalistiek stellen al deze constructies en systemen fikse eisen aan de journalistieke integriteit van de bloggers, maar het voert te ver daar hier op in te gaan. [...]

Hi Darren,
Just discovered your website. I’m fascinated that you have carved out a niche so obvious yet so overlooked – making money with blogs.

I started my blog http://www.poingology.com last July, targeting small business people who need to gain skills in order to grow their business. The articles pertain to people, processes or technology. Some are funny.

I use my daily business experiences, so the material is straight from the front lines.

So far it hasn’t been overwhelming monetarily, but it is great fun. The ideas keep coming so I will keep producing until I hit that critical mass when viral kicks in.

Anyway, congratulations on reaching the goal ahead of me. I will read every article you’ve got.

Good question Brett,

there are differing opinions on this – some say you shouldn’t add ads until you’ve got an established readership as they put people off – others say put them on from day 1 because adding them later means you have to break reader expectations of it being ad free and because even with a small level of readership you can begin to earn a little money which over time adds up.

I tend to put them on from day 1 – but work on subtle ad placement that is not overwhelming or distracting from your quality content.

I was thinking to register for AdBrite. But I figured out that the registration page is a NON-SECURE page!

And they ask you to provide with your Social Security Number and all the personal information on a NON-SECURE page. I talked to a customer rep. at AdBrite. He told me that “transmission is secure even though page is not secure”.

I didn’t understand how transmission would be safe if the page is not safe. If the page is not safe, doesn’t it mean that someone else may see the information that I provide?

Am I wrong about my concern regarding the security of AdBrite?

Great Post Darren,

Really good content that you are providing and speaking from experience, it’s hard to really make good money through blogging as people’s mentality when visiting blogs are usually not geared to click on ads on the blog as compared to someone searching for relevant information on a content site filled with adsense and other advertising avenues…

All in all, in my experience, contents sites make way much more money than blogs due to the users mentality….

Thanks for the blog – ths certainly broadened my horizons both from a bloggers perspective and an advertisers. There is so much over focussing on AdSense/AdWords, which doesnt necessarily give the best result for either advertisers or blog owners.

Contextual advertising can be rewarding for both parties, so as a blogger I a trying to write good, relevant content for contextual ads – makes sense and hopefuly some dollars.

Make Money Blogging

September 18th, 2006 3:46 am

AdSense is a horrible way to make money blogging. I actually wrote an article about this and alternatives to AdSense:

http://bloggingmoneymaker.blogspot.com/2006/09/7-unique-methods-to-make-money.html

Long story short: AdSense distracts your users from *real* opportunities to make money. You are essentially trading a 10 or 15 cent ad for a $20+ commission. Read the article for more details…

Do you think making a blog about something is better than having a “regular” site with a blog attached to it?
I have been thinking about adding a blog to my site http://www.travelbrazilnow.net. I didn’t make it a blog in the first place for the very nature of the site.
And I believe SEO-wise it would be better too.

I’ve been looking for ways to make money in the internet too for years; and I never really found the best way; though a few months ago I unexpectedly came across a free e-book, the referer said he was actually making money out of making people read it.

So I tried it too.. At first I didn’t receive anything; but after a few days and posting the link at a couple of sites, the free e-book toke off…

I’m now making about $200 a day because of people clicking my link and reading the book, without any efforts.. I don’t have a weblog, I don’t actively advertise or anything and still I’m making $1400 per week!

I bet I could never get as many people to my blog as to the sites I’ve put my link up at; I don’t see blogs being able to convert money on this scale and I know I’d be able to earn even more if I’d post my link to more sites.

What if I’d started my own blog? Started advertising in there? People wouldn’t know where to find it at first and when they would come acros, they’d take off because of the commercial level of it..

I think making money on the internet could be done easier by using existing blogs and advertising there and using forums and newsgroups… but hey, that’s my opinion.

I think that I’ve left by the blogging dollar wagon. After reading your post I should say that I still have the opportunity to get in. The problem was that not all bloggers were born and created equal. I mean that you need a certain degree of skill to really able to monetize every post of your blog.

Anyway, thanks for the post.

it’s really just about the quality of information that you put out.

i suppose it’s also a function of timeliness, how important the information seems at the time. you can hedge your bets by blogging about lots of things you think will become important in the near future.

imagine if junior high students were put to work blogging on random topics for an hour daily, by the time they graduated high school their blogs would probably be paying their way through college, even without a blogging strategy.

WOW! Great information!

Making money online by blogging is not something new anymore. Almost eveyone is able to do that. I have seen a lot of bloggers on the Internet earning huge sums of money just by blogging.

Here, you get tons of free information on ways to make money with your blog. It´s amazing.

I would like to add one way more: As you may know you are able to review other´s websites or products on your blog and get paid. There are a couple of great networks which enables you to find the advertisers who are willing to pay you, if you write a review about them on your web page.

Although your blog must qualify such as having a high PageRank or high traffic blog, but after you approved, you have a great opportunity to make some money online.

Good luck!

Hi,
Before I decided on which blog server to use, I read much of your information here, and I read lots of reviews. Everybody gave WordPress.com great reviews. WELLLL, after WEEKS of grief trying to put my AdSense ad in my blog, I finally find out that it is not possible to use AdSense with WorPress.com – they do not allow it, and the user does not have access to the HTML. I have very little technical knowledge of computers, so it took me this long to figure this out. Would have been nice if SOMEBODY would have warned me, would have saved me all that time and grief. So, now I have to start all over, find a new server & host, do all the setting up, submitting to search engines (which could present even MORE problems), telling friends, links, etc. Hopefully this post will save some other poor souls who are thinking about using WordPress and AdSense from time I wasted, and weeks of grief..

Hi again,
Well, after my experience with WordPress, it appears that there is one GLARING ommission here. WordPress.com does now allow any commercial ads in their blogs, but that’s not the problem. The problem is that they make very sure that you don’t know that up front. It is not stated in any of their signup pages, it’s not in their TOS, not in any of the places where they advertise their services, and if you dare go to the “Help Forum” and ask about ads, you will get nasty replies from the regulars there, and they will do everything they can to not give you a straight answer. Also, there are literally THOUSANDS of posts (many of which were deleted in the past 2 days) at that so called “Help Forum” from people asking why their ads don’t show up, why they can’t seem to get their ads incorporated, again, because WordPress makes sure you don’t know that ads are not allowed. I saw some people saying that they moved their blogs from other servers to WordPress.com, and were having the problem of their ads not showing up. That means these people went through all that, only to find out that if they want to have ads, they have to move AGAIN. Most people don’t have a problem with the rules, policies, or TOS, what people hate is not being told up front – especially about something that is very imortant when deciding which service to use. So, folks, if you are shopping for a place to put up your blog, and you want to include ads, DO NOT use WordPress. I woudn’t recommend them anyway, after the way I (and lots of other folks) was treated at their “Help Forum”.

I wasn’t initially looking to make money, just feeling out blogs in general. Expertise is always the way to make money. I make and sell Class Rings for anyone. Currently I just started a blog to write daily/weekly blurbs to help educate the millions of people looking for a class ring. An Educated consumer is supposed to be a smart consumer. Maybe some day I will stumble across a way to get rich on the internet. Until then I will just continue to sell at my website (www.beclassrings.com).

Blogs are also a great way to build a mailing list which can lead to even more income in the future. I think it is best to concentrate on one or two income streams per blog, like one affiliate program or product and Adsense or Chitika. Another great advertising program I started using is Ebay Auction Ads. This is another advertising income stream where you can earn money from Ebay auctions. They look just like Adsense but they are Ebay ads which are targetted to your site.

Hi Darren,

Nice blog for sure however I see that you have your links set to “no follow”…

Not a very nice thing for contributors if you ask me…increasing page rank is an important aspect of bloggin in my opinion.

If you are using WordPress I know of a pluggin that can get rid of the no follow in the code.

Hi Darren,

No follow on the links from pro blogger!

Yes I am sure Darren would agree that PR is a most important factor, so why should he give it all away for free to you?

A good comment can do great things for your blog, but do you write a interesting rebuttal in relation to the post or simply type a few obscure words that seem to have no point or the English is far from desirable.

Comment spamming is a pain in the proverbial, not only do you ether have to have good spam filtering often you have the task of manually deleting these far from creative comments, designed by the author to in there small hopes to get some link love or a little traffic.

I too have started to put no follow on allot of our blogs, as they tend to be PR4 or higher they become targets for easily led internet hopeful marketers.

If people went to the trouble and more had the respect in the first place for the blogs author maybe more link love would be passed on.

Write good comments, make it worth while to read, and most of all recpect the authors blog.

Don’t be a comment spammer.

My comment was completely off topic I suppose…but not because I’m a blog spammer! I was just giving Daren some feedback.

I surf the net and like to contribute to blogs for the PR value to my site mostly.

Sorry but this is 2007 and I’m not a non profit organization, if I take 5-10 minutes to contribute valuable content that will enrich the blog site’s owner with AdSense, I find it perfectly natural to expect something back in return, a link is sufficient ;)

The no follow tag will hurt a blog in the long run anyways because they will loose contributors, that’s just a fact.

Gone are the days of DMOZ and Google “doing no evil”!

Just my opinion of course! ;)

Was not directed at you, was a rhetorical statement, or question but thats cool :)

Lose contributors well, if I am only getting contributors who are after link love then in most cases personally I can do without them.

I love the comment that comes from, Hmm, think I’ll comment on that, or wow that really was insightful. They are the comments I wish for. I cannot answer for Darren we mat have to wait until he returns.

My experience with Blogger.com and even Wordpress.com is that they really don’t want people making money with their blogs. That’s why I’ve been moving toward Squidoo lately, because they are much more receptive to people making money with their free websites.

October 5th, 2007 8:16 pm

Well for the blogs who are new and don’t have much readership, adsense or chitika or other income generating sources are not sufficient. To my own experience, until you get a good amount of exposure of your blog, you cannot rely on any of the income stream.

I have earned from writing reviews at one of my blogs. And despite of the fact that my blog was not getting much visitors, but due to some other positive sides, it got page rank 5 at google, and I could get opportunity to review at a good rate.

For new bloggers, this post is a must read, but for beginners they should also think about participating in “blogging networks” blogs. As you can get a good exposure of your writings.

Bloggers can also earn money with online music stores that offer free music as a part of promotional program. This way you attract traffic, get more returning visitors and get paid if your visitors register with music sites. So as you can see it’s slightly different from ordinary affiliate program.

October 9th, 2007 1:36 am

I first started using and trying to make money from blogs in January of this year, and let me tell you it’s not easy. Trying to do it all by yourself is no way to win at this game. I was lucky I had a mentor and a leader.

It was about two months into creating submitting and adding backlinks religiously before I started seeing any money come in. However I did make one sale from clickbank and I thought to myself WOW this is it, I’m going to be rich, but you know what I never saw another sale again for 6 months.

During all that time though I managed to make 60 blogs all bringing income in. Some do better then others but it was completely worth all the hard work. I am glad that I actually had someone to teach all the fundamental steps one needs to take inorder to be successful at this game.

My blogs make me on average $900 – 1,000 a month now. By next year this time I’m hoping I can double that, at least that’s my goal.

For some reasons, I like webmarketers. I like how people are being motivated to get going. Its more important than money alone. Helping others, motivate them to fulfill what they desire is a great help for many.

October 24th, 2007 6:02 pm

Ok, so here‘s the point. While browsing through the various forums and blogs I stumble upon the message saying that you can make money just using e-gold account and investing only 6$. Yeah, right…. However, „what do I have to lose“ I tell myself.
So, the idea – I have this e-gold account that I use for buying stuff on the net. In that message it says that I have (of course if I want to) to transfer 1$ to each of the following e-gold accounts:

1. 2928337.
2. 3308977.
3. 3685287.
4. 4228614.
5. 4883297
6. 4883433

Only one dollar – what kind of risk is that. But, the point is that, after the transfers are done, I have to delete the first account number from the list, and because at this point the list moves by one step up, I have to enter my account number as the last (step 6). Then I have to spread the news! I mean – tell everyone about it on every blog. The more people sees my message and gets hooked up on the idea and starts transfering one dollar to each of these accounts and after that enters their account number in the list and starts spreading the message in their own forums and blogs all over again – i get paid. Why? Because everone who‘s involved in this game gets paid, because everyone‘s transfering that freaking one dollar. I think what they want to say is that the more people gets hooked on this the more money you can receive. You get the idea, right?

My question: Is this thing possible?? Or is it just another scam?:)

Maybe I should go and try

Afterall – 6$.

Cheers

Saul.

It’s not easy to earn money through blog. What I suggest is that take it easy first, get a stable job, blog for leisure, then subsequently increase the frequency of bloggin. More importantly find a topic that interest you and blog. The money that you will earn from blog most likely isn’t going to be significant.

November 12th, 2007 3:21 pm

I just started my blog at http://www.starsdancingontv.com and I just now trying to figure out how to monetize my site. My traffic is doing much better. I’m a google page rank 4 now and at first my focus was on content, but now my focus is on monetizing. I’ve been reading lots of articles and read that if a page rank 4 now would be a good time to start selling ads on my blog. So, that’s what I’ve just signed up for. I’m waiting to get my site approved. I also signed up for bidvertizer and am going to try that at the top of each blog post. Sorry far, I’m earning some on google adverts, but not a whole heck of a lot.

If anyone wants to take a look at my site, feel free and give any advice. I’m open for mostly anything.

As to me, I think get paid to review is the best money making method. I get about $1000 per month from writing reviews for advertisers. It’s not bad for me. I earn $434 this month only from sponsoredreviews.com, $65 from reviewme.com, $50 from smorty.com. I hope I can earn more in the future. By the way, goodle adsense is my love. I get $364 from it this month. Bidvertiser.com is not bad, I registered on it this month, but only earn $0.97 until now.

Do you have any suggestion?

Readers are good but they tend not to click on ads because they are used to the placement of the ads on the site. You have to constantly change your layout if you want to “trick” readers into clicking on the ads. Otherwise people who only come once to your site are more likely to click on your ads.

December 10th, 2007 9:36 pm

If you want to earn money by advertising on your website then you should take a look at Matched.co.uk. You enter the details of your website and any pages you wish to have advertisements on. They then match you with advertisers and pay you £3 per advert that you display on your website for a month. You can enter up to 5 websites and 5 pages on each site so potentially you could make £75 a month for doing vitually nothing and you could earn even more through their affiliate scheme with an extra £5 per referral.

It seems that blogging is more than just a passing fad. And although there is not a lot of money made “directly” from most blogs they are many times used as gateways to money making opportunities. Many people don’t realize or capitalize on the fact that when you post responses to blogs with a website link included, your link gains popularity. And while there may not appear to be much gain from this fact in the short term, over time the number of links and hits from website crawlers will become very evident.

Hi!

This is the first time I’ve read an article about blogging because I’ve just recently purchased my own hosting and installed my very own WordPress Blog.

But I’m a super dooper mega over newbie in terms of creating and maintaining my own blog or website. And when I say “I’m a newbie”, I’m really a newbie as in zero knowledge. I just thought, “I’m writing articles in different free social networking sites with blogs then why not host my own blog for my own articles and possibly earn from it in the future or probably be an avenue where I can promote my own products/services or products/services I represent.”

Anyway, I know I’ll learn a lot about blogging from your website so rest assured that I’ll be a consistent reader of your website. More power!

Even though this post is years old, it is still awesome!
The key to making money online is through multiple streams of income.

You have to treat it like a business and promote it like crazy. Act hungry and be persistent! The big money is in affiliate marketing, I highly recommend article marketing, don’t waste your money with PPC….build for the long term! Recently, I have even been making nice money flipping domain names on Ebay. I would buy a domain for $500-$1000, add some value to it by building a little PR and than I would list it for a high price with the MAKE OFFER option selected. I always get nice offers.

With focus and determination, making money online is not that hard…thanks again Darrin for this incredible post!

You mentioned ClickBank under affiliate programs. I consider it one of the best affiliate programs out there and have been an affiliate since 2002. I’ve been recently using cbprosense on my blogs. It matches clickbank products to the content automatically, much like adsense. The combo surpassing adsense earnings by two folds lately.

I like your post.

There are new ways to make money in advertisement. One of them is ad flyers. Customers can create an ad flyer and instantly load it/pay for it and see it running on your website. Only works if your website has valuable content and its a niche. Not good for websites that solely want to redirect visitors through affiliate networks. The only service that I’ve found is adcreatepublish.com and they also allow customers to upload their existing advertisement banner to your website.

Monetize Your Blog

January 23rd, 2008 12:30 am

I have been using adsense for income and the results keep improving over time. But the drawback is that the click thru’s range from 0% – 15% . The drawback is that you need lots of traffic to earn a sizable income. But now you can >>>> Get Paid on 100% of Your Websites Traffic…No Clicks Necessary!

Finally there is a way to earn revenue on 100% of
your website traffic by tapping into a network
of big name advertisers like Burger King, Taco
Bell, Harley-Davidson and HBO.

Our partner has developed an innovative
technology that is bigger than radio, television,
newspapers and all other forms of advertising combined!

66,000 advertisers have jumped on board and are
ready to pay you for every visitor you get to you

Surely it IS best to use a combination of various types of advertising content, and not just one. And of course the ads should cater to the reader. Advertising 101 right? What about too much advertising?

This is my challenge: At what point does a website or blog contain too many ads on it? What would be a standard gauge, if there is one?

My blog started as a c ommunity portal of sorts for my membership site, but I found that just by adding Adsense alone ( I useWordPress, so I just added the Ad Manager plugin) I was seeing from $25 to $75 each day.

3. They do not have a goal.
4. They do not focus.
5. They do not persist.
6. They do not have patience.
7. They do not market effectively.

I am coming across many blogs where they seem to be ton of entries(usually 1000s) with brief entries for blogs which are just a month old. However, when you look closely all the listings are borrowed. Just grabbing brief lines from someone’s blog and directing to them.

Is there a term applicable(other than stealing content?). How do they do it?

I think after all the various advertising companys and formats that I’ve used in the past couple years, Adsense is still my #1 true love. I don’t know what it is about it.. perhaps it’s simplicity, or perhaps it’s just one of the first I’ve used and know it like the back of my hand.

After realizing I may be able to supplement some income from doing something I love, I immediately started searching Google for tips on making a good blog and making money from it which has led me to your page.

I’m following your suggestions as closely as I can and so far I’m noticing the majority of my traffic coming from Digg (as I add each new post to their site) as well as Stumble Upon and del.icio.us.

I’ve also made a MySpace page devoted to my blog and have joined as many MySpace auto groups as I can and post regularly on their forums.

April 16th, 2008 2:28 am

Blogs are great for affiliate marketing, but not straight away. If you have a blog you have been posting to for a while with a reasonable readership, you can refer people to products with high conversions quite easily simply because your readership trust you. Advertising Programs can also increase your income dramatically provided they are used correctly. Adsense is by far the best and if anyone disputes because they are not earning much then they simply aren’t using the ads effectivly. For any newbies that want to dramtically increase their adsense earnings i would recommend reaserching a guy called Michael Cheney :)

Ashley I think you are missing a trick. Your reader are going to leave your blog when they have finished reading what you have to say. At this point your giving them one option, the big ‘X’. If you use adsense correctly you will be giving your visitors a place to go when they have finished. Not a way out.

This is one of those posts you can read and re-read. Its a must read for every blogger who is starting out in general or starting to monetize. It really puts things in perspective. I persoanly believe that the best thing a blogger can do is pick one or two monetization methods and keep things focused. i find that people usually start off a blog with 10 monetization methods that dont make much. The less the better, and the money will come. Thanks for the post

I just wanted to say that because we are on the subject of Making Money with Blogging then I like to think I have cracked the Blog Money Making Code, well with the help of a good friend of mine ‘Rob Benwell’ who has taught me how to make over $34,000 Per Month using his behind the Scenes Blogging Blueprint, it has given me a new lease of life and I absolutely love Blogging now, I mean I liked it before but it was getting a little mindane until I met up with this guy, an absolute genius, now I create all manners of Blogs because I know I can make lots of money from them, it’s a shame I didn’t know about this a few years ago before Blogging got popular, I would probably been a millionaire by now lol, well anyway I appologise for the intrusion and just wanted to tell you about that little interesting fact, thanks and keep up the great work.

This is a great post. Everyone is looking for more opportunities to make more money, this is an excellent post.

I think of high traffic is very important, search engine optimisation is needed, marketing and promotion to increase your blog’s presence.

I love reading blogs and have pretty much always kept a personal blog. Lately, as I’ve decided to minor in journalism, I have wanted to start a blog for side money. I write stuff as a hobby anyway so it’s fine that I wouldn’t be making much.
But since I wouldn’t make much, I wouldn’t want to pay for a host. But if you use something such as blogspot, can you still advertise through it and stuff to make money? Or is that like against rules or not possible to format?

I’m just amazed that you make such a big percentage of income through adsense – I just haven’t been able to make that work on http://tradingadviceblog.com – I’ve gone the affiliate route but conversion is slow. How do you get so many adsense clickthroughs? Is it the sheer volume of traffic that you get?

Making money online is said to be easy by those who know how to do it but don’t really share real info, or those who just pretend.
I found a site that promises not only to pay you, but pay you recuringly every month. And all you have to do is show people a video – well, really drive traffic to the video and let the company work on selling the product.

I’m sharing the info on my site.

A fantastic list. I think the best i’ve seen online – and very comprehensive as well. My two cents if I can add, Darren.

Product and Service Review: A lot of companies today are giving away free products and even dollars to review their products and services and post results for their readers.

Sponsored Posts: Take on money to voice opinions of advertisers. Best done with direct relationships to your advertisers, so look around locally for businesses that could benefit from this.

Ken Pirok

June 19th, 2008 4:10 pm

I really agree about selling your own content on your blog. You can probably make more money doing this in the long run than in general ads.

I sell books and articles on my blogs, and it works. I link to my books at Amazon and Ebay (Amazon pays you for that,) and I’m beginning to sell ebooks/pdf’s of the full content or reference material inherent in a blog. This is fairly easily done via PayPal or such services.

I have been looking in to making money with blogs, I know how to make money from affiliate programs. But these are some great ways to make money from blogs.

Donations sound more like if you have a site that is fund raising
And I think not to many people can make a full time income doing this. I visited Jason Kottke site kottke.org and is this his site that made him a full time income with Donations?
Matthew

June 25th, 2008 5:16 am

I actually decided to try sponsorship out. I emailed a bunch of websites about paying for a banner on my site, and I actually got some interest! I was really surprised! I think people should try this. Of course, it takes patience, and you have to have the stomach for it – but it worked for me!
Ev Land

June 25th, 2008 9:19 am

I make money off many blogs by using them to just keep tuned in with my clients. You can use blogs in many ways that result in money. One is just to keep your visitors and clients tuned in by blogging to them each week. It really helps with conversions. My starting a cleaning business blog makes me a nice income, but it is because I am selling services NOT ppc ads. If you have an original product that people want, you will make so much more money than ppc ads!
Affiliate Program

June 26th, 2008 6:24 pm

Over the time after trying diferent methods of making money I realized that an affiliateprogram is better than anything.

I found some time ago an affiliate program that is on my liking, they offer you a great support, they offer multiple online stores, and all that for free.

Besides that they pay out 10-12$ for every client I bring in, and belive me it isn’t hard to do that.

In you want more info click the title. Thanks, hopes this helps you.

Adsense seems to be a good source of income, but it takes a lot of “clicks” to get anywhere. Any one got a good source of traffic?
Ralf

July 16th, 2008 7:22 am

I am using google adsense for my anti aging blog. I have many traffic but no one are clicking on the advertising…
James

July 17th, 2008 8:41 am

The potential of adsense, and PPC in general is coming to the point of steady decline, in my opinion. Before, people who wanted to make a few hundred a month easily could do so with a half ass blog and some decent strategies.

Now, people are becoming more and more desensitized to ads.

The ultimate key to making money with a blog is to build up loyal readers. The more people you have trust with, the greater your earning potential. Factors like these are the ones you want to pay attention to, because they remain true no matter what the trends. People that focus on the trends of the internet almost never make big money.

When you have a loyal following, you can sell them relevant products simply by writing an honest review about it. For example, one person spent years building a blog writing about persona leadership, personal development, and personal growth. That was his passion. He accumulated thousands and thousands of loyal readers.

Later on, he started reviewing all the personal development & leadership products/books he came across, and the people bought them left and right, because they trusted him.

That concept applies to everything. Xocai

Another good way to increase visitors and adsense income from your blog, is to post your articles also on http://www.infopirate.org

Infopirate.org is a free social news and bookmarking service, allowing you to bookmark your articles and to earn about 80% of the adsense income on this short preview of your blog posts.

With a small bookmarklet you can use the time to submit a post to infopirate.org reduces to some seconds.

I see tons of bloggers on digitalpoint and other forums who have some small blog in some small niche like “russian photography” or something, are getting like 50 visits a day, and wonder why they arent making big bucks.

I think making money fro a blog is a process that will take some time, if you want to do it the right way that is.

Quality is something that every blogger should aspire for, because in the end that is what gets you the traffic. Thanks for giving out the various ways and mediums, it was an interesting read.

I’m planning on starting a blog but I’m struggling to find a niche.

I recently got into building websites using wordpress. It took me a few months but I’m beginning to see a nice stream of income from my blogs. I build about 2 webpages a month and focus on SEO. I’ve been getting about 60-100 hits a day on some of the websites and have been bringing in hundreds of dollars a month. But there has been a couple of websites that don’t do well at all.

Good Tips Daren,

always remember that your primary goal should not be to make money. You should enjoy blogging, else you might get bored by it too fast :-). Blogging is a lifestyle!

So far I have had no luck with YPN. I have submitted mutiple sites to them .. some which have a very nice steady stream of traffic with no luck. They don’t even reply with a rejection. I could understand this on a few of the smaller starter sites I had submitted but on others I know it didn’t have to do with design, amount of content or traffic. Hopefully once they are out of beta this will change. For now, it doesn’t look like much of an adsense alternative though .. other than being a clone of it. I will have to check out Microsoft network. I wasn’t aware of them starting one up.

The vast majority of my money has come from AdSense revenue though I only get pennies per click, it still pays better than anything else I have tried.

Perhaps my site are just too general and therefore it’s hard to target a specific product for advertising.

Great blog Darren.
I am just starting out to see if I can turn a blog into a form of income. I’ve only been going a week or so but it is great fun. It’s a great help to have blogs like problogger helping to educate you in the process. This post is extremely interesting as it gives an insight into the various means of making money via a blog.
Thanks again, I w
