Blogging is all the rage today. Everyone has an opinion or idea, and getting that content out there is becoming a billion dollar industry. People are thirsty for your input, and blogs are a perfect format to get it out there. Ever heard of Perez Hilton? You know, the pink haired Internet personality that became famous by posting silly pictures of celebrities on his blog.. He was a nobody just a year or so ago, but thanks to his blog he's now a regular on television and magazines.. Go figure.
Not to mention, he is now a millionaire thanks to all the traffic his blog has gotten..
This is a perfect example of the power a blog can harness, not to mention the serious money it can make, and all this guy did was post a bunch of silly pictures. It's almost unbelievable that something like this can make someone rich overnight, but thats the very reason for this article. Blogs can and do make SERIOUS money. You just need to know how to do it.
So what are the ways to monetize a blog you ask?
One of the biggest blog money makers today, is through what we call Affiliate Marketing. This is a widely used marketing system where in which you promote a range of different products, and make a commission on each sale that goes through you.
An example of this is a "review blog." Lets say you are looking at a skin care product online, but you want to see what someone else has to say about it. So you look for reviews and end up stumbling across a blog containing a nice review of the product you are thinking of buying. You read through the review, and then see a link at the bottom directing you to the product website. You click through, decide you are going to purchase the product, and BOOM.. The blog owner you just came from has just made a hefty commission on the sale you just finished.
Its a very simple yet powerful money making tactic.
-Choose a product to promote
-Set up a blog with a detailed review of the product
-Place a link (this will be your own affiliate link) at the bottom of the review
-Make a cool $20-$50 everytime someone buys the product through your review
The great thing about the above method is that you can "rinse and repeat" it with an endless amount of products. Just set up a review with your own affiliate link and make money.
I can't tell you how many millionaires have been made just in the last year using only the method described above. Nothing else. Yeah, its pretty awesome.
One of most well known blogging millionaires today is a young man from the UK by the name of Rob Benwell. This kid has totally dominated the blogging market and is a true example that anyone can make a boatload of money with a simple blog.
He even created a best selling e-book in which he teaches you the very methods he used to make his millions. It's called Blogging to the Bank, and its a priceless resource, especially if your serious about blogging to make money.
And if your looking for more information about Affiliate Marketing, there's a new course that teaches you every single thing you need to know about making killer income by promoting products as an affiliate. It's called Zero Cost Commissions - And I HIGHLY recommend getting a copy, every marketer I know has already gotten their's..
