SOURCES OF INCOME

Sources of Blogging Income

There are many ways to make money with your blog. Let's go over a few of these:

1. AdSense. This is a Google based program that allows you to cash in on the traffic that your blog generates. You place a bit of code in the tamplate section of your Blogger blog and when someone clicks on one of the ads (which are relevant to your content) you share in the income that Google receives as a result of that click. Your Blogger backroom has easily carried out instructions to apply for an AdSense account, and step by step instructions to get the HTML code for your template.

2. We have discussed Affiliate Programs and frankly I think this is one of the best to start with:

Another one that every serious internet marketer should be using is ClickBank. They have what is arguably the largest collection of information products out there, and they pay twice monthly and very reliably. I have never missed a check, and have confidence in their professionalism:

There are tons of these out there, and you can easily find them by searching Google for a topic followed by "affiliate program".

3. Your own Product and/or Service. Whether this is a Business Opportunity that you are involved in, or a service that you provide, such as selling Health Insurance this can and should be a part of your Blogging Income plan.

4. You can also sell advertizing space on your blog. This should only be attempted once your blog is getting sufficient traffic to warant the cost to your advertizer.

Using Blogs To Make Money

Blogs Will Make Money For You

This is patently true! There are so many ways to use a blog to make money that it boggles the mind. Being a raging Techno-Phobe I use Blogger Blogs exclusively, because I find them so easy to use. I know precious little in the way of HTML and frankly haven't had the time to learn more. I find that Blogger is so popular that I can find solutions to the various hurdles I have come across using very simple Google searches. Many will tell you that Blogger has some problems, and Google(which owns Blogger) has made choices that will limit your blog's usage. I have found ways around every single "limitation" that Blogger imposes...

That said, there is one thing that every blog needs and that is content! There are many many ways to get content for your blog:

1. Write it yourself! I do this quite a bit (look at my blogs). This is why you should pick topics for your blogs that appeal to you, and/or you already have knowledge of. This way you are either writing about something that you already know, or are researching something that interests you so that you can write about it.

2. Check out Article Directories. These are treasure troves of information on every topic that you can imagine. Use these when you simply cannot write the articles yourself, or when you need to for a sub-topic within the topic of your blog.

3. RSS Feeds. Again this is something that I use regularly. An RSS Feed is simply something that will dynamically post information from another site to your own site (or blog in this case). Many will tell you that Blogger will not work with RSS, and this is technically true. But there is a way around this. I am not going to go into the technical side of why this is, just the solution. Go here:

http://feed2js.org/index.php?s=build

This site will convert the url for an RSS feed into

usable HTML code to put in your Blogger post.

To get RSS Feed urls just go to Google and search for your topic and "RSS Feed". One note about this. When you put the code into your Blogger post and then click the button to post the info, you will get an error message that there is a problem with your HTML. Just check the box that says not to show this box, and the code will both post and work.

There are an almost infinite number of sources of information to post on your blog. Just be sure to credit the source of your information, and when you post someone else's work, it is a good idea to write a small blurb telling your thoughts on the information. A little CYA if you know what I mean...

Okay, I was going to give a bit more info on Blogger blogging,

but will start a new post for it.

The above banner is my main online business. It is a Business Opportunity that does very well for me, but at one time I was like many of you and needed to make some money without putting any out. The answer when you have no money and no product of your own to sell is affiliate programs. Consider the following products:
