Blogging- a money making machine


If blog writing is one of your way to pass time without knowing that your blog can turn into a money making machine- You are wasting your precious hobby.
Blog writing has become a way to express, share your thoughts and one of the ways being followed by most of entrepreneurs to market the new services or products. For instance, Crafitti Consulting (for jobs in Crafitti- click here) initially, when Crafitti's site was not designed, used blog to market the services offered by them.
let's see what we need to do start making money from your blog:
1.) Registering on Google Adsense. That should be the first task as we dont know how muchtime will they take review your Blog.
2.) Quality and innovative writing, Regular updates, Replying to the comments consistently.
3.) Need to put things what People search on Internet. For this, use Google Zeitgeist to know what trends are going on in your country in particular month.
4.) Get your blog listed in top search engines like Google, Yahoo and others.
5.) Take part in other blogs and communities to interact with other bloggers and make friends so that co-promotions take place for your blog.
6.) Leave your blog/site address wherever you comment.
7.) Publish your blog address on social networking sites.
8.) After all this, your blog is ready to monetize. Important thing to notice here is to put a good mix of “cost per click”, “Cost Per Mille” and “Cost per action” ads. Here’s a small definition of each term:

  • Cost per click (CPC): Form of advertisement that pays you when someone clicks on it.
  • Cost per Action (CPA): Form of advertisement that pays you when someone accomplishes an action (such as downloading a file or subscribing to a service)
  • Cost per mille (CPM): Form of advertisement that pays you to display a banner, button or any other form of advertisement 1000 times
Some of the advertising services we can use to monetize are given below:
  • Performancing Ads: Ad platform solution.
  • Adsense: The #1 money advertisement program on internet.
  • Chitika eMiniMalls: A online advertising network (CPC).
  • Feedburner FAN: It provides custom RSS feeds and managment tools bloggers, podcasters and other content publishers.
