How to Monetize Your Blog
Other than direct sales and Google AdSense, there are many other methods you can use to monetize your blogs. There are numerous ways, but three are usually used more often than others.
1.) Lead Generation - Of all the other methods you can monetize your blog, lead generation may be the most promising way to make money from with your blog. This is an especially true if your blog market is in is related to anything in financial niche. Refinance and mortgage leads are very profitable, as they bring in good commissions. Your first commission will come when you generate the initial lead which will simple entail getting someone to fill out a free form. This lead will earn you anywhere from $2 to $15 in commission. If this lead then goes on to refinance his or her home with the lender in question, you could earn a windfall of several hundreds or even several thousands of dollars.
2.) Affiliate Marketing - Affiliate marketing generally consists of either directly signing up as an affiliate through someone's website or signing up as an affiliate through a third party. You will then use your blog to market this person's products for a share of the total price. If you sell information products from Commission Junction or Click Bank, you can earn as much as 75% per sale. However, if you sell physical products, such as chairs and tables from Link Share retailers, such as Wal Mart, you will earn a 7% to 15% commission at best.
3) Newsletter Subscriptions - If the other methods of monetizing your blog don't sound appealing, you can always consider newsletter subscriptions. You can create a simple squeeze page or an opt-in page on your blog and offer a free subscription to your newsletter. If you promote your blog and provide quality content, you could end up with hundreds of subscribers over time that you can then sell products and services to.
You can also sell advertising space on your blog and sell site memberships that allow visitors to access certain server-side tools in the membership area.
