Make Money Blogging Using These Nine Powerful Strategies

The question “How to make money blogging” sits high on every blogger’s mind. In fact I received many questions on “How to make money blogging” when I conducted my first webcast to answer my subscribers’ most pressing questions on Blogs and Rss.

You can make money Blogging in a number of ways, and in this article I share with you up to nine strategies in which you can make money blogging.

1. Make Money Blogging by Selling Advertising Space

Before the advent of Blogs, we have e-zines and selling advertising space on ezines was a popular way to earn extra money. If you run your own Blog, you can let others advertise in your Blogs with banner ads, solo ads, sponsor ads, classifieds and so on.

Now that we have Blogs, you can repeat the same business model that e-zine publishers do, that of selling advertising space.

One popular advertising company that helps Bloggers look for advertisers is Blogads (www.Blogads.com).

Besides placing advertisers ads on your Blog, you can also make money Blogging by placing Google Adsense into your Blog.

In my “Marketing Rampage with Blogs and RSS” Videos, I show you how you can customize your Blog template to include the Google Adsense into your Blog template so that you can make money blogging.

2. Make Money Blogging by providing technical services such as Blog hosting or setting up Blog

You can also earn money blogging by providing technical services such as helping people to set up their Blogs or providing your own Blog hosting service.

One example of this is www.typepad.com . This is a Blog hosting service provider that charges a monthly fee. Typepad lets you create your Blog and they will host your Blog for you, and provide you with a number of Blog features.

3. Make Money Blogging by setttin up joint venture marketing

Joint Venture marketing is a powerful marketing strategy employed by many top online marketers.

Basically how joint venture works is this: You promote person B’s products to your subscriber and customer list, and you get a cut from whatever sale that follows from this promotion.

You can apply the principle of joint venture marketing to Blogs as well. If you have a substantial readership to your Blog, you can also promote or endorse certain products to your Blog readers and this way, and split the profits from the sales generated. This is another way to make money blogging.

4. Make Money Blogging from using the Membership model

Over time, if your blog has lots of postings and provide good quality content, you can consider turning it into a membership site and charge access for it, again giving you another avenu

5. Make Money Blogging by turning your products into

Another way in which you can make money blogging is to repackage your Blog contents into an e-book or an audio product and sell it. For example, if you run your own Podcasting show or an ‘online radio show’, you can easily compile your podcast recordings into a CD compiliation and sell it.

6. Earn Money Blogging by Swapping blogs

You’ve heard of ad swapping when it comes to e-zine publishing, where publishers publish each other’s ads in their own e-zines. This way, you save on adveritising costs.

You can repeat the same model to Blogs, as swap ads on Blogs as well. So instead of paying up front, you get to save, which means more money for you to spend!

7. Earn Money Blogging by turning your Blog content into RSS feeds and sell it as premium feeds

Your blog contents can be turned into an RSS feed. If the content is good, you can look for web businesses that are looking for good content for related topics and sell their feed to them.

8. Make Money Blogging by well, asking!

Hey, who’s stopping you from putting a PayPal donation jar or button on your Blog? After all, there are lots of generous people out there you know.

9. Make Money Blogging as an Affiliate Marketer

Another way you can make money blogging is by promoting other people’s products on your Blog. This is also known as affiliate marketing.

In affiliate marketing, you get paid a commission when someone clicks on your affiliate link and makes a purchase. Depending on the subject of your Blog, you can recommend products that solve people’s problems.

For example, I had a subscriber who asked me how she can blog about cats and make money from blogging about cats.

I shared with her that firstly, perhaps she might want to go niche instead of targeting the broad category of “cats”, and using the example of a Persian cat, which is a niche by itself, she can start a blog on Persian cats, providing valuable information as well as recommended solutions and products to the upkeep and maintenance of Persian cats.

How To Earn From Your Ezine

So you have hundreds, if not thousands, of subscribers who have signed up for your online newsletter. You send out copies of your eZine quite regularly, and it takes so much of your time to come up with valuable content for your subscribers to consume. You must be wondering

How could I earn from all these efforts?

Indeed, eZines as marketing tools were not invented for gratuitous labor. You can earn - a lot of profit at that - from publishing your own eZine and building your subscriber base. How? Let us enumerate 10 ways by which you could earn from your eZine.

1. Sell products. Your mailing list would enable you to follow up on your subscribers to warm them up for your offers. You could try to win their trust by establishing regular contact, and eventually selling them your products.

2. Sell your affiliate products. You don’t need your own products to be able to sell anything to your subscribers. You could enroll in any of the countless affiliate programs on the internet. You’d be entitled to a commission every time you’d refer a subscriber of yours to purchase a product from the affiliate merchant.

3. Sell solo ads. You could allow another internet marketer to promote his or her products on your eZine by giving him or her a space in one of your issues where he or she could talk about his or her offers. Of course, you’d be doing this for a fee.

4. Sell recommendatory ads. You could also offer to recommend another marketer’s products to your subscribers for a fee. You could do this by writing reviews or recommendations embedded in one of your value-packed content messages.

5. Build your brand. Joint ventures can explode your profits tremendously. Unfortunately however, the established online businessmen would take into consideration your standing in the industry before they could consider you for the partnership. If your mailing list has thousands of subscribers, chances are, they’ll take you in without blinking an eyelash.

6. Pay-to-subscribe system. If your eZine has built a solid reputation for itself as a genuine information resource for the subject it is servicing, and demand for subscription is at an all time high, you could start charging for subscription fees. You’d get to earn every time new user would subscribe to your eZine service, and every time a user would have to renew his or her subscription. This could provide for you great income for many, many years!

7. Gain some affiliates. The best way to promote your own products is to get some people to help you advertise the same to ever corner of the World Wide Web. Indeed, we are talking about establishing your own affiliate program. And the best source for affiliates is, and will always be, your mailing list.

8. Generate repeat traffic. If you’re engaged in a Pay-Per-Click (PPC) program like Google AdSense, then page impressions count. Page impressions are not dependent on unique visitors alone. Repeat visitors are crucial to your sustainable success. Your eZine can help you secure repeat visitors as you’ll have a platform to constantly remind your subscribers about your website.

9. Lead your subscribers to your sales page. Some internet marketers create different websites for each of their products. How would people know where to go? Aside from the organic traffic from the search engines, you could lead the members of your mailing list to your various sales pages by simply including a link on your eZine.

10. Use your mailing list as leverage whenever you want to sell your website. A website with a mailing list of 5,000 subscribers can command a higher price than a mere website with no mailing list at all. There are some ethical considerations with this, however. The website and the eZine should be maintained by the buyer. The buyer cannot change everything and expect the existing subscribers to continue their subscription for something totally different from what they have signed up for.
