Ways to Make Money From A Blog

By Kelly Parsons

For some people, it has always been their dream to write their thoughts and opinions online, receive a payment for it. Usually your thoughts and opinions can be added to a blog. Therefore, it is necessary to describe the possible ways to make money by writing a blog. These ways can be used to help you realize your dream of sharing your opinion and being paid for it.

There are two main ways people make money by blogging. The first way involves signing up to have text links placed somewhere on your blog. When people visit your blog's website, and click on a text link, you will be paid a certain amount of money for directing traffic to this link. It should be stated that the text links would vary depending on the topic of your blog. The amount you will receive per each text linked clicked, will vary as well. Over time, a blog with a steady amount of traffic and regular visitors can lead the Webmaster to make money online.

second way, in which someone can use a blog to make money online, is by selling ad space. In the same way ad space is sold on the side of a bus, or in a magazine, if your blog has a decent amount of traffic coming to it, companies will pay to place banners or ads on your blog's website. Therefore, by renting out space on your blog's website, it is possible to make money through advertising.

By Allen Taylor

I like going against conventional wisdom.

Some very good people with strong reputations and whom I respect deeply are giving some misguided advice. One such place is the Church of the Customer. Like most blogging professionals, they're telling people to not be self-centered:

"Do not make your blog a branding exercise of self-centeredness. If you endlessly promote yourself and your services, no one will care."

That's one of five points listed on their five don'ts for small business bloggers. I take issue with this one. Such people are blogging like it's 1999.

There are many different reasons to blog and their are different focuses for every company blog. Depending on the focus of your blog, you may very well want to be self-centered.
