Tips To Making Money With A Blog

In my post, Guide To Make Money With Your Blog, I've mentioned various ways to make money with a blog. In this and upcoming posts, I will give you tips to making money with your blog. It will be a series of post, so stay tuned.

Monetizing a blog seems easy and I've seen people cramping all sorts of affiliate links and ad networks in a page. You (might) get money from it but it will not sustain.

3 reasons that makes monetizing difficult:

1. You need a traffic in order to earn money. Affiliate programs and ad networks pays only when the website has generated a purchase through the affiliate link, click-through or impression. If a website is full of advertisement but no content, Google has no reason to include it in their search engines. Web crawlers will avoid such pages. As a result, the website will be unknown and thus, no traffic.

2. A blogger needs to gain the trust of his/her readers. When a blogger promotes or writes a review for a product, the readers may or may not believe him. Whatever he said might not be true in the eyes of the readers even if the blogger is right. And when readers do not trust a blogger, the chances of them purchasing something which they recommend is extremely low.

3. Advertisements have to be related to the blog content. An advertisement about mp3 will not convert in a blog about books. Don't be lazy. Search hard for a related advertiser and you will definitely benefit from it.

Being successful in blogging does not happen in a day, a week nor a month. It is like a business. Blogging requires time and effort. So, it is important to choose something that is of your interest. Give it your best and never give up.
