Can we 怏䱚ght the noise together and make money from a blog? Yes we can.

Here are the popular techniques that I have

observed and used when I tried making money from

this blog.Lets roll it!

Google Adsense (On this blog)

A⸧liate marketing

Publish your own ebook

Dedicate a ad space on your blog

Google adsense:

Google AdSense is a program run by Google that allows publishers like you and me to

register in the Google Network . Once you sign up account with Google Adsense .You can

get a Javascript code from your Google account which you put in your blog. Google with a

smart algorithms pushes the ad into your blogs that you signed up.So every time when

the ad show up and your visitors clicks the ad, you as a blogger get some money.How

much google is going to pay all depends on how much advertisers are willing to pay

Google for that speci怏䱚c that has been clicked.

In a nutshell ,an advertiser who is related to the niche of your blog make a contract with

Google (a concept called adwords) and Google publishes the ad on behalf of the them

for the fees.

There are other popular services run by Bing,Yahoo too.But Google is by far the famous

one right now.

I’m not the 怏䱚rst one to talk about adsense.There are numerous articles that are being

written by more seasoned bloggers and here is one of the links that I could 怏䱚nd that helps

you to make money from blog using adsense

A⸧liate marketing:

A⸧liate marketing is an agreement between you and the company that you are a⸧liating

with.You refer the visitors to them and they share a percent of sale with you,if that visitor

buys a product or service from the a⸧liated companies.Usually those companies may be

selling some products or services.For example:Amazon,Hostgator…etc

For example:you can open up an a⸧liate account with Amazon and get an unique link for

all the products they are trying to sell.If your blog visitors uses that particular unique link

and purchase Amazon’s product.Then boom! You will be given a percentage of the

sale.Well! how much?It really depends on the product you promoted.

whenever I see the professional bloggers sharing the income report, most of their income

comes from the a⸧liate marketing.So you can’t just like ignore a⸧liate marketing when

trying to make money from a blog.

This is a really big deal.

Don’t underestimate that a⸧liate marketing as a simple thing– like you sign up an a䦔틿iate

account and then people will buy stu觥s clicking your link.It won’t happen like that in real

world,unless you are very very very lucky.

What do you really need to understand is this basic principle.The company that you are

a⸧liating with say in case of Amazon —has their own marketing team working 24 x 7 in

order to sell their products. So what you are really doing is trying to beat their marketing

expertise.

Now,you may see the point.

Also,you can set up a discount agreement with the company that you are a⸧liating with

so that whoever purchases using your a⸧liate link will get a discount,which is kind of a

great deal exclusive only for your visitors.A small return for the favor.That works for

someone who has signi怏䱚cant amount of tra⸧c.

Your visitors won’t even know that they made an sale that is part of a⸧liation

agreement.No di觥erence in the price either.The percentage you are getting comes from

the advertising bucket of the a⸧liated company.

Publish your own e-book

Once you get the traction and establish yourself as an expert in a 怏䱚eld be it a web

designing or expert advice in a real estate.Its time to consider the e-book option.When

you get a lot of visitors and you have more knowledge to share then sell some of your

insights and the knowledge bundled into an e-book.You can choose to sell the book from

your blog straight away or market it through top online e-book stores like Barnes & Noble

and Amazon.

Is e-book business di觥erent from the traditional book publishing we knew? oh yeah.The

time and the money you’re going to spend on publishing a e-book is only a fraction of

what it takes for someone to publish a book two decades ago.

Dedicate a ad space from your blog

The number one lifeblood of your blog is visitors.That’s the major piece of the puzzle.once

you gain su⸧cient amount of tra⸧c you can reach out to the advertisers directly.Or open a

way for them to reach out to you.You can display their ads on your blog for a fee.As long

as you get money you can keep the ad there.You can be creative in coming up with many

agreements doing something that works for both you and advertiser .

I will share some more tips for you in my future posts.

I have collected some of the great blog posts that I enjoyed and I’m happy to share here

for you to chew more.
