In this economy, people are constantly searching for ways to
supplement their regular income. This includes getting a second or even a
third job to do just this. The internet is one such opportunity where
one can earn a stable income, if you know how. There are certainly many
ways to earn money online. One such way is through blogging.
Contrary
to popular beliefs, having a blog can certainly earn you money online.
This is can be done by having advertisements on your blog. This could be
in the form of having text or even banner advertisements from Google
appearing on your blog. This strategy is known as "Pay Per Click" or PPC
in short. Google will share its revenue with you when someone clicks on
the advertisement on your blog. If the topic of your blog is from a
competitive niche, you could even earn $30 per click.
The other
way to earn money on blog is to promote an affiliate campaign. Affiliate
marketing is slightly from "Pay Per Click" in that it requires the
person who clicks on the advertisement to buy a product. When this
happens, you will be paid a commission or fee. Depending on the
affiliate program you join, this commission could be a percentage of the
price paid for the product.
If the product you are promoting has
several "One Time Offer" (or commonly known OTO) after the initial
purchase, this commission could certainly stake up.
There are many
affiliate programs that you can join to make money from your blog. One
such program is ClickBank. The products on ClickBank are normally
information products such as eBooks, home study courses or even
software.
The other interesting affiliate program that you can
join is Amazon Associates. While many of us think that Amazon is all
about books, we cannot be more wrong. We can certainly find lots of
interesting products within Amazon. This includes clothes, home
furnishing and others. You can even find spare part for cars being sold
in Amazon.
In terms of rewards, ClickBank would pay as much as 75%
of the purchase price as commission. Amazon Associates on the other
hand, would pay from 4% upwards for your effort.
If your blog is
an authority in this subject matter, you could even sell advertisement
space. It is not uncommon for large corporates to pay as much as four
thousand dollars per month as advertisement fees.
