MAKE MONEY FROM BLOGGING

Many novice bloggers are unaware that you can make some major money from blogging. There are people making $1,000 a month or even weekly blogging. These are considered professional bloggers who monetize their sites, subscribe to blogging jobs, promote products and services by internet networks or even their own products. So this qualifies as a legitimate job on the internet.

Monetizing your blog can be simply having Google approve your site for advertising AdSense ads. Every visitor who goes to your site may click on one of the ads which creates revenue for you, the host. As discussed below, I've been able to track down 5 advertising service sites who hire you to blog for their clients web sites. The pay is any where between $5 -$25 per article, depending on quality and your experience and the age of your blog site. The 5 sites are:

* PAYPERPOST.com
* BLOGSVERTISE.com
* BLOGTOPROFIT.com
* CREAMAID.com
* BLOGITIVE.com

I just signed up for Blogsvertise and am waiting for my first assignment. PayPerPost.com requires your blog to be in existence for at least 60 days. BlogToProfit and Blogitive.com are next on the agenda.

You can become an affiliate marketer and promote 1,000's of products and services for Internet marketing sites. Most are free to join to become an affiliate giving you the ability to market their products on your blog site and if you sell their product you earn a commission which could range from 10% up to 90%, depending on the product. The most recognized affiliate marketing site is Wealthy Affiliate.com. They provide training, mentoring and support to get you started for a legitimate online job. I highly recommend checking Wealthy Affiliates site and learn more before starting your online business. A complete review can be seen here on my next post which compares other affiliate marketing sites as well. Another good reference source is an e-book called Blogging To The Bank. This e-book provides a detailed analysis on how to take your blog from a personal diary to a money making site.
