6 Ways that I Make Money Online Via My Blogs
I’ve been blogging for almost 5 years now, but it is only this year (2008) that I have actually seriously looked at leveraging the Mr.Gadget blog pages to earn decent advertising revenue.
There are two main reasons for the lack of work in this area:
1. Most focus in the past was on increasing sales through the web store section of my website
2. World of Warcraft
Now that sales are taking care of themselves with additional staff on board and I’ve quit playing WoW (1st Dec, 2007), I now have more time to devote to other areas of my site such as monetizing our thousands of blog pages. Until recently it was an untapped resource.
Where To Get Information on Making Money Online? - Go To the Experts
With terms such as “six-figure blogging” and the million or so pages out there about “making money online”, I felt a bit daunted and overwhelmed with my next challenge. However, when in doubt, identify and refer to the experts. In this case, there are two guys in particular who provide superb information on ways to make money online : Darren Rowse and John Chow. Both are renowned for creating comfortable livings for themselves from the proceeds generated by their websites.
On the footer of each of their sites are lists of ways they create revenue online. I investigated each point on their lists and came up with a list that worked well with my style of blog.
Ways I Make Money Online
So after around 6 months of installing, testing and tweaking here is the list of money makers that are now earning me around 4-figures a month and I can recommend them to you. They are ordered by highest to lowest income per month:
1. Google Adsense: Even though I’ve been using Google Adsense for almost 5 years, it’s only this month (August 2008) that I have truly had time to optimize the code which has resulted, on some days, in triple the revenue I used to earn. If you don’t have it on your site, sign up and give it Google Adsense a go!. Tip: See my post on how I doubled my Adsense revenue with only 2 hours of tweaking over one weekend.
