subject: How To Monetise Your Blog [print this page]

Other than direct sales and adsense, are there any

other methods you can make money from using your

blog? Yes, there are several, but three are usually

used more often than others:

1) lead generation;

2) affiliate marketing; and

3) newsletter subscriptions.

Of all the other methods you can make money from

with your blog, lead generation may be the most

promising. This is an especially true if the market

your blog is in is related to anything financial.

Mortage and refinance leads are especially good, as

they bring in tiered commissions.

Your first commission will come when you generate

the initial lead - which will simple entail getting

someone to fill out a completely free form; this lead

will earn you anywhere from $3 to $12. If this lead

then goes on to refinance her home with the

company in question, you could earn a windfall of

several hundreds or several thousands of dollars.

The other methods you can make money from with

your blog include affiliate marketing and newsletter

subscriptions. 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 Click

Bank or Commission Junction, 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 7-15%

commission at best.

If these other methods you can

make money from don't sound appealing, you can

always consider newsletter subscriptions. You can

create an opt-in page or a "squeeze page" on your

blog and offer a trial subscription to your newsletter.

If you provide quality content and promote your blog,

you could end up with hundreds of subscribers over

time.

Other methods you can make money from on your blog include selling advertising space directly

and selling site memberships that allow visitors to

access certain server-side tools.
