13 Ways for Bloggers to Make Money with Advertising

Here’s a summary:

1. Ad networks

These are services like AdSense and Chitika but also smaller or more local ones like NuffNang (which operates out of Australia and Asia). They can probably fit in some of the other categories as well, as they use different models to deliver their ads.

2. Cost Per Impression (CMP)

This is where you sell space for an ad and get paid based upon how many times it loads. Usually you get paid per 1000 impressions of the ad. The rate varies a lot, depending upon topic. There are lots of very low, “remnant” ad networks out there that pay you a pittance per impression, but if you have a higher value niche you can get better money. I’ve been paid up to $40 per 1000 impressions.

3. Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)

These ads pay out only when someone takes some kind of action after clicking the ad. The action might be a sale but could also be them signing up for a service, leaving an email address, etc. 

4. Cost Per Click (CPC)

This is what AdSense used to be: every time someone clicked your ad, you’d get a certain amount. Now AdSense do a combination of CPC and CPM ads—they mix them in.

5. Sponsorships

This is what I do on ProBlogger. I sell ad spots on a month-by-month basis to sponsors for a fixed amount per month.

6. Text links

When you sell a text link on your site, the person buying the link is usually doing it for search engine ranking purposes. As a result, Google frowns on these and you could be risking your own search rankings by doing it. I don’t do this, as I see it as a little too risky, but some bloggers still do. Proceed with caution.

7. Pay per post

Also known as sponsored posts (advertorials), this is where you’re paid to review a product or to promote it in a post. Bloggers have varied ethical stances on this. Generally these days you are required to disclose that you’re being paid for the post.

8. Job board/classifieds

If you operate in a niche where people are buying and selling products or there are jobs that people want to advertise this can be a nice source of income. You need to be able to attract both advertisers and those they want to see the ads to make it work, though—so you need traffic and profile.

9. Newsletter advertising

This is a growing area for me. Some advertisers love to have their brand included in emails that you send to readers. We find bundling some onsite sponsorship banner ads with inclusions in our newsletter is a good way to sell space to advertisers.

Some ad networks (like AdSense) have ways of doing this but you can also sell sponsorships in your RSS feed directly. We use a WordPress plugin called RSS Footer to add an advertisement in the RSS feed of ProBlogger.

Here are a few more ideas that I should add to the mindmap…

Ad networks like Kontera offer these, and I think Chitika and a few others do, too. They are ads that appear in your posts, turning certain keywords into little ads (they usually change the color of the word and/or underline it to make it look like a link). When someone hovers over the word a little ad pops up with a description of a product that they can buy. Some bloggers find these ads convert well, but others find them intrusive.

12. Video advertising

If you publish videos, you might be interested in Youtube’s integration with AdSense, which allows you to earn money from ads that appear in your videos.

SEO Checklist to Make your Blog Search Engine Friendly

SEO is an important part of blogging and every blogger must have some strategic plans in his mind whether he is starting a new blog or want to run an edit.In order to make blog SEO friendly I have  arranged seo checklist.

There are many factors that are necessary while doing SEO, I have collected such points that are equally valid for both the Friendlybeginners and pro bloggers.



 
1-Keywords:

The most important part of article writing and niche selection is the use of  proper keywords.Since there are many tools to check keywords popularity and keywords density.But the main thing is the selection and their use at proper places

2-Quality Content:

Since Content is king and with quality and well written content,it will  increase its search engine visibility and will make it search engine friendly.For updating content it is necessary to rewrite old blog posts so that it may also well optimized according to the current Google Algorithm.

3- Link Your Posts:

Linking blog posts can be done in three ways:
Backlinks – Can be achieved by blog commenting, article submission,guest posting ,directory submission…..
Inbound Links – can be achieved by using proper anchor text.
Outbound Links – These are the most important part because too many outbound links will decrease the Google Page Rank of your blog,it is recommended to use no follow blog comment and try to avoid spam comments.

4-Be Social:

Social media is the most powerful way to have proper and effective SEO. You have to link up every update to the social medias like Facebook,Google Plus,LinkedIn,Twitter,StumbleUpon and others emerging medias.

5-Blog Loading Time and Bounce Rate:

Faster loading blogs will get more attention as compared to the slow loading,so try to reduce the blog loading time and  bounce rate.

6- Google XML Sitemaps:

Sitemaps are a list of all the urls submitted/generated by you,it is important to have sitemaps because bots,crawlers and spiders can only understand this. so try to have all sitemaps including web,images and mobile sitemaps.

There are lots more factors which you will get online but I preferred to cover the once which are important for SEO and if done properly than very useful for all the bloggers.

Online Blogging as a Career in India – Look A Complete Review !!

In India, With increase in population and lack of employment these days, lots of youngsters have been starting their career as a professional blogger.Engineering students, medical professionals, MBAs, law students, bored housewives…you name it. The reasons more and more people are adopting blogging as a profession are mainly scope, job satisfaction and money.

Who don’t want to be his own boss? Working on your own time and leading an independent life. In the age of high speed internet, gone are the days where people work from 9 to 5.

I’m going to throw some light on few important points about pursuing a successful blogging career in India.

Scope of blogging in India

You must have heard that blogosphere is an already saturated field, scope of earning is very low, rate of failure is very high and bla..bla..bla..But, the reality is completely opposite. I can say confidently, the scope for professional blogging in India is tremendous. In every ages 2000 – 2005 – 2010, you will find people with half baked knowledge who spreads negative things about blogging.There is still a big gap between demand and supply of online contents in different niches. Subjects like photography, finance, self developments, fashion and education blogs are in great demand in India and abroad.

Yes, the technology space like gadgets, web-designing and SEO is quite saturated. That’s the reason quite a lot of technology bloggers rejected for AdSense ads by Google recently.

What is professional blogging

Bloggers, who blog or publish blog posts in a way which is thoroughly researched, well edited and presented in such an interesting way that adds value to the readers or blog visitors.One thing I want to clear – a Professional Blogger needn’t be a full-timer. A part-time blogger who blogs in a professional way also falls in this bracket. So, professional blogging can be full-time or part-time.

Yes. Name, fame and money is usually an intent or part of professional blogging.

Investments

Unlike other careers, professional blogging needs very less investment, in terms of money.For registering a domain name, buying web-space  may cost somewhere between Rs. 2,500 to Rs. 5,000 ( US$ 50 to 100).Your principal amount may be small, but you can generate a great revenue by leveraging your blogging career.

Requirements

Besides the technical requirements, a blogger needs the following things for success -

1. Passion

2. Hard work

3. Expertise in your niche or subject

In reality, professional blogging requires high level of commitment and hard work. It is almost same as a 4 yrs of engineering degree or a 5 and 1/2 yrs of medical degree.If you are thinking, blogging is an easy way to earn money, because you failed in other professional fields, then you are absolutely wrong.You should atleast spend 6 to 8 hours daily for you blogging activities.

Earnings

Now, the interesting part! Earning money is what motivates a blogger to become a professional, irrespective of part-time or full-time blogging.I can assure you, if you work hard for 2 to 3 yrs and make your blog authoritative, you can earn between Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 1,00,000 ( US$ 1000 to 2000) easily.Here I’m talking about single author blog, with or without accepting guest blogging. The earnings of multi-author blogs are always high.

5 Tips for blogging success

1. Produce well researched and unique contents.

2. Never publish copied or duplicate content from online or offline sources. You blog may be penalized by Google panda for this.

3. In the initial period, concentrate more on content to build a large reader base, instead of money.

4. You blogging niche or subject should be your passion or hobby. It helps you to enjoy your work and go a long way.

5. Learn a lot to know the tricks of the trade.

Which Niches Pay High in Google Adsense Program?

As the importance of blogging (making money online) is increasing, there are many people searching for the following queries

    * best adsense niches that pay high
    * top paying adsense niches
    * list of adsense categories that pay high

Even I used to search for these queries in my beginning days of blogging. So I thought of sharing the list of high paid niches for Google Adsense. 

   1. Health: Weigh Loss & Fitness, Anti-aging, Cancer, Dentistry and Orthodontics
   2. Insurance: Car and auto insurance, Health and Medical Insurance
   3. Computers & Internet: Computer Hardware, Computer Repairs, PC and Internet Security, Dedicated Hosting, ISP and Networking, Online Degree, SEO software and tools, Web Development, Stock Broking
   4. Banking and Finance: Loans and Mortgage, Credit and Finance, Debt consolidation
   5. Legal representation: Searches for attorney increased the bidding rate for this niche
   6. Digital Photography: digital photography schools, certificate, digital photography education, Careers in photography
   7. Psychotherapy: We can include this category in health, but i think it is best to treat this as a different niche as it gives more adsense revenue as a separate site.
   8. Real Estate: A damn good niche for getting good adsense income. Google pays nice price for clicks on these Real Estate related ads.
   9. Consumer Electronics: Gadgets, Mobiles and many other Electronic devices
  10. Antiques and Collectibles: Another good niche to choose for getting high adsense income.
  11. Dating: There are Lots of lonely hearts out there and the online dating sites are willing to pay more money to find them.

I know what you're thinking now! Start blogs in all niches and receive huge sum of money from Google Adsense! Right?

That's really a wrong idea. If you do so, you'll definitely feel bored of blogging in a matter of days. Only chose the niche that interests you. It is always advisable to blog on your interests rather than writing just for money. Because, you can write valuable and quality content if the topic you chose is of your interest. Or-Else you have to suffer from poor quality content which in turn affects your visitors as well as the income from Adsense.

So, my advice is choose a niche that interests you, Write Quality Content, Optimize your website for Search Engines using SEO and then boom.. Your website will receive high paid ads thus resulting in good Adsense Revenue.

5 Powerful Strategies To Overcome Blogging Failure And Earn More Money

Did you start your blog just to make money? Well, there is nothing wrong with that vision but if that’s your motivation, you’re bound to fail. Blogging is more than writing articles and adding affiliate banners on your sidebar. Blogging is serious business.A lot of people have given up last year, some angrily left blogging last month, and right now, someone is unhappy about this same blogging. What’s happening to all these give-ups?They fail to see the real picture. They didn’t watch to coordinate their expectations. If only they could earn $1000 monthly for a start, everything would be fine. I want to show you something before I begin…
Why Blogging Is Serious Business

In the offline world, entrepreneurs understand how to treat customers (majority, actually)! Customer service is paramount and packaging is well planned. All these activities are to increase sales and build a huge customer-base for future promotions. So, what’s different with online business?Nothing! Everything that’s done offline is replicated online. You still have to deliver your products, attend to customers’ technical issues and sell products/services. The only slight different is the channel of distribution.If you don’t treat blogging as a serious business, like the one offline, you are bound to fail – only time would tell.

1. Stay In Your Field

No business is better than the other. A lot of bloggers have been made to believe that some business models are more profitable than others. That’s a big lie. You can still make money blogging about gift items even though the cost of acquiring those products is less than the price of a digital camera (in most cases).
If you don’t stay in your field, struggling and complaining would set in. What’s your niche, where does your strength lie, aren’t you motivated to teach the same course to some other people? I know successful physics bloggers, science bloggers and career counseling bloggers. “Make Money Online” isn’t the only niche – in fact, it’s the most competitive and 87% failures emanate from there. Stay in your field and scale it through. Period!

2. Master Keyword Research

I’m not talking about the usual Google keyword research, that’s way too competitive to start with. For beginners, you need to dig deeper for more profitable key terms with less optimized web pages on Google. We refer to them as, “long tail keywords.” They are usually 3 – 7 words and are highly targeted.
Keywords still play a vital role in search engine optimization. In fact, it’s the #1 ranking factors. It’s the meal of search engine spiders. It gives them direction on what to do with your content.
A proper mastery of keyword research would help you rank better, attract more paying clients and make money. Think like the customer who is searching for particular information online – how desperate are they for answers?

3. Learn Persuasive Writing
It’s not enough to write articles and blog posts. You need to persuade people to take action. I read a lot of blog posts daily and unfortunately, only few bloggers belong here.
If your readers do not take action on your content, it’s a waste of time and frustration is bound to set in within a short while. To learn persuasive writing, you start by reading posts like this particular one. Ask yourself why you’ve continued up to this level – did I bore you with irrelevant words?
Persuasive writing would help you attract more readers, earn more money and increase your customer-base.

4. Get On Social Media Train

Social media has come to stay.
It’s come to transform your business and give you an edge in this ever-changing world. You’ve every right to use it to grow your blog. How do you use social media to attract paying clients and readers?The only recipe to succeed is to “socialize” creatively. So many bloggers who are active users of Twitter and Facebook and not even making a single dime, nor are they driving targeted traffic.It’s the wrong mentality. Social media networks weren’t created to make sales actually, it came on board to help people connect, share and communicate. But that’s what business is all about. Follow these guidelines today and your social media efforts would yield results.

5. Sell A Service Instead

Yes, you need to sell something before you can make money online. Instead of promoting all those affiliate products you can’t even vouch for, sell your skills for profit. Truth is, thousands of people are looking for you. If you can look within, you would be shocked at what you can do. All credit to the Supreme Being who made it possible.Why waste time trying to convince prospects to bye that $47 e-book when you’ve not used it. How real are you?Stop right now and focus on what you’ve within. Can you write simple articles, optimize web pages for search engines, design logos and custom graphic works? Service rendering is the best blog monetization strategy. I’ve been using it for a long time and the paycheck is huge.
Marketing Takeaway

There you’ve it. It’s rare to find such informative posts in today’s blogosphere because everyone is looking for shortcuts. But I’ve laid it out on a platter. But you won’t see a change in your business unless you take the single right step. That’s why I’m living you with these 3 words – go take action!

What to Consider Before You Start Blogging for Money

I know most of the bloggers are blogging for money. But most of us don’t know that – the bloggers who make living from their blog(s) haven’t started their blogging career with money earning in mind..!
You should know few things about blogging for money before you starting your blogging career.
3 Tips Consider Before You Blogging for Money?
 
1. Don’t Expect Money from Your Blog Till 1 Year: I know its really a long time. But if you want to make money from your blog, then you need to keep in mind few things.
You should not expect money in the beginning itself. Even if you monetize your blog in the starting days, you really can’t make much money because you don’t know how to monetize your blog properly.
That’s why don’t think about making money from your blog till one year at least. Once you are all set, then you can monetize your blog and can make decent money from your blog even when you are sleeping!

What to Do till then?
Good question..
Answer is: Learn, learn and learn

Learn how to
•Create useful content in your blog
•How to get traffic to your blog
•Build quality back links
•Improve your alexa and PR(Page Rank)
•Build an email list
•Build a strong network for your blog
•Make SEO friendly blog
•Write effectively and interestingly
•Monetize your blog in a right way
You should keep one thing in mind that blogging is easy but blogging for profit is difficult than you think.

2. Choose Your Blog Topic Wisely: Pick your niche/blog topic according to your interest and love. Because you are going to stay with it at least more than one year.
Pick the topic where it should give you interest, happy and joy!! Then you don’t mind working even longer hours for writing your blog.
And decide whether your blogging niche is profitable or not. This is also an important factor in monetizing your blog.

3. Select A Perfect Platform for Your Blog: There are so many blog platforms where you can start your blogging
•Blogger
•Tumblr
•WordPress etc.

Conclusion: Most of the bloggers fail to monetize their blog(s) because they started blogging just for MONEY. Though nothing wrong in that, but they expect quick results/profits from their blog. They don’t see any profits eventually, and they quit their blogging career correspondingly…!

I don’t want you to become like that, Start with passion, blog for cause, be consistent till one year (at least), then MONETIZE your blog.
