6 Ways to Make Money Blogging
1) Cost-Per-Click (CPC)
Advertising Programs
CPC advertising programs are the best money making programs for
most of the bloggers. They are suitable to all kind of blogs
with family-friendly content regardless of their traffic level
and age. CPC programs work well on blog because they display
contextual ads that are highly relevant to blogs content and
bloggers will earn anywhere between 10 cents to 50 cents for
each contextual ads click by their visitors. With proper CPC
ads optimization and consistent amount of traffic, a blogger
can earn a steady amount of money displaying CPC ads on his/her
blog. Google
AdSense is no doubt, the undisputed king of CPC
advertising programs and Yahoo Publisher
Network is the closest alternative of
AdSense.
2) Cost-Per-Action (CPA)
Advertising Programs
CPA programs is quite similar to CPC programs except CPA
programs don't pay bloggers for each click on the CPA ads
hosted by bloggers. The blogger only makes money when the
visitor takes an action on the CPA advertiser website. The
action can be a sign up, making a purchase, generating a lead,
downloading a product and more. CPA networks pay a lot more
than CPC programs, for a visitor sent by the blogger from
his/her blog to a CPA advertiser website and the visitor taken
an action on the advertiser site, the blogger can earn few
dollar to fifty dollar depend on the niche. But CPA ads tend to
work well on large traffic blogs only. AzoogleAds.com, Commission
Junction and Advertising.com are some of the largest
CPA networks.
3) Promote Affiliate
Programs
Marketing affiliate programs is very common nowadays. You sign
up with affiliate program of an online company, then decide
whether to use the company's text link or banner ads on your
blog to promote the company's products or services and earn
affiliate commission when a visitor make a purchase through
your affiliate link. Affiliate programs can be promoted without
a website and blog too.
4) Pay Per Post
Programs
Pay per post programs started last year. The programs pay
bloggers to write a blog post about a sponsor's website. The
paid blog post can be a review or an introduction on the
advertiser's website, products or services. The blogger will be
paid a least $5 for each sponsor post. Blogs that have massive
traffic, high Google PR and large number of subscribers can
charge a few hundred dollar for just writing one sponsor post.
Here's are the two most popular Pay per post networks that
offer this type of earning opportunities:

posts that are not relevant to your blog content can seriously
affect your traffic.

additional online revenue. It is not difficult to get started,
