Make money blogging

Is it possible to make money blogging? The answer is a definite yes! Like a web site there are several ways for you to bring some cash in with your thoughts. And like a web site one of the biggest factors is the amount of relevant traffic that you can attract.

Google

 Still the king of advertising and making money online. Google's free AdSense service can be used on a blog just as well as a standard web site. AdSense allows bloggers to display up to three content-specific "ad units" (boxes that can hold up to four ads each) per page. Each time a visitor clicks these ads, you get paid. Google

Google AdSense Alternative programs

BlogAds

BlogAds lets you join its database free and set your own ad prices. Blogads calls itself a network of bloggers who accept advertising. Companies [which include media giants like Paramount Pictures and Random House) then search for suitable blogs and purchase ad space for a set period of time. Unlike AdSense, your earnings don't depend on a reader clicking the ads. You give 20 percent of your net revenue to BlogAd, and you keep the rest.

Affiliate programs

Like the basic web site you can look for affiliate programs to make money blogging. The basic concept of affiliate programs is simple: Sellers offer a percentage of the sale (or a flat fee) to people who refer a customer to them. A great affiliate directory that you can use to find a program for your blog is AssociatePrograms.com

Sell your brand of blog

Do you have a neat logo that people comment on? Maybe you can use it to make some money. You can create your own blog branded stuff at CafePress. Choose from items like T-shirts and coffee cups or sexy thong underwear! You get to sell each product at whatever price your little heart desires. CafePress gets back the original base price ($13.99 for T-shirts, $10.99 for mugs); you keep the markup. Just add your online store's link to your blog, and all that's left to do is wait for CafePress to send you a monthly check. 

Crispads

An advertising network focused on blogs. Crispads allows publishers to place ads in blog entries so that they're included in their RSS/ATOM feeds to generate revenues for syndicated content.

grokAds 

An advertising clearinghouse for both buyers and sellers which works with any type of site. Offers quick and easy advertising to a specific market.

Tagword 

Similar to Blogads. Tagword lets you to select the kinds of ads you want to sell to your site visitors as well as setting the prices. Add the code provided to your selected web pages and you are selling through text ads on your site! Users can create their text ads directly and submit them in minutes. Purchased ads appear on your site as soon as you're ready.

Amazon Associates

A common program used by bloggers . It allows independent online publishers the opportunity to promote any product in the Amazon inventory as affiliate agents. All it takes is adding a small, identifying code to the links that take your site's visitors to a specific Amazon product page (books, DVDs, electronics, etc.). If the visitors who clicked on your link buy an item even if it's not the item you point to — you earn a small commission.

It is possible to earn as much as 10 percent per sale as an Amazon Associate.
