Can You Make Money Via Blogging?

Yes, it is possible if you try hard enough. It isn’t easy though. More and more people making money through the internet and quite a number of them do make money via blogging i.e www.johnchow.com, www.sabahan.com and many more.

So how do you begin making money with your blog? well, I have listed few easy steps as follows:

a) Choose your topics wisely: You need to select a good topic that you are interested, knowledgeable and have the passion to write them on a daily basis. You need to provide fresh content as frequent as possible so that you will attract readers to keep coming back. I know it no so easy but if you try hard enough surely you will make it. It needs determination and practice as much as possible to be able to come up with good and quality content. Content is king.

b) Experiment like crazy: Experiment different ways of making money online. Most bloggers use google adsense into their sites as a way to make money. Google however have some restriction and this is important to remember; you are forbid to click your own ads; if you do your account with them will be revoked and they keep any money earned. Some may join affiliate programs such as amazon.com to provide multiple stream of income.
I have listed below some of the companies that you might be willing to experiment which may bring some money into your bank account, I hope:

i) Auction Ads
ii) Adbrite
iii) Text Links ads
iv) Bidvertizer
v) The AllPosters.com Affiliates Program
vi) Blogitive
vii) PayPerPost.
viii) Barnes and Noble Affiliates Program

If after putting up the ads and you do not get any click, consider moving the ads to different location. Be patience, it may take time to get result. Most importantly also experiment with different blends of colors for your ads. Some colors may not work well with your ads. If your link matches with the color of your site as if they are part of your site, the more likely the ads will be clicked.

c) Referring People: You can also make money by referring people into these programs( affiliate program, text link Ads..etc).

d) Promote your site: Sign up for Feedburner and get your latest articles displayed. You can also join the blog network such as blogcatalog and mybloglog to get more exposure and help promote your site.

e) Leave a comment: Visit other blog sites and leave a comment with your URL address. This will attract them to visit your site.

f) Getting traffic to your site: Now this is the hardest task. Most bloggers usually join as member and submit their site to blog directories such as technorati and blogcatalog to increase the traffic to their site.

Again, it is possible to make money but it takes time and you need to be determined enough to wait. So keep trying and don't ever quit unless you want to.
