Ways to Monetize Your Blog

In the early stages you shouldn’t really be thinking about monetizing your blog and instead you should be more focused on providing good content so that you can build a readership. Once the foundation is laid and you have a steady stream of traffic then you can begin to play with the many different monetization options. I feel some bloggers will put ads on their blogs way to early and most readers get turned off from this. If you’re planning on having a long-term successful blog then you shouldn’t even consider using ads on your blog until you’re well into being established in your niche. Once you have a certain trust factor secured with your readers then adding monetization methods can pay off greatly.

The first type of ad many people start with is cost per click ads and the most popular network for this is of course Google Adsense which I highly recommend joining. If you haven’t already registered with Google Adsense then this should be the first thing that you do before anything else. Adsense is very slow in the beginning but if you have traffic then eventually your earnings will go up. You’ll need to play with ad placement on your blog to ensure that you’re optimizing your ad space to the best of your abilities, but you shouldn’t be posed with much hassle doing this. Adsense pays millions of people every month and have a very good reputation which is why so many people use them to make money from their blogs.

Another method commonly used to monetize your blog is through affiliate offers and sales. You can either get leads and receive a set fee or a commission for products you sell. Selling products is far more profitable then getting leads but in the beginning we all need to start somewhere and often time’s leads are easier then selling products. There are countless numbers of affiliates for you to choose from and you should try sticking with only one or two until you reach minimum payment.

Finally you could choose to sell your own advertisements on the blog, usually you’d post on a webmaster forum in a Link Sales section and try selling links or banners. This can be really profitable if you can manage to keep a high page rank and decent alexa rating. Many people buy links on blogs so you can ensure residual income through link sales by maintaining a blog.

There are still other ways for bloggers to monetize their efforts but that’s the main three ways you should use to monetize, although selling links you need to be careful and make sure they don’t appear as paid links. Google frowns upon paid links and for this reason you should be really careful when thinking about selling links on your blogs. Selling links in the content is a lot risky and safer for you to do then offering sitewide blogroll links so you need to make the decision on how you’ll sell links if in fact you even choose to. Monetizing your blog gives you the chance to earn a nice income off of your hard work and you should make sure to capitalize on the chances. Once the readership is high then you should implement ads and affiliate offers that pertain to the topic of your blog.

Getting traffic to your site

Getting traffic is not something impossible. If you have time to spend online for your sites, then you’ll be getting traffic free of charge. First of all, you should make the habit of reading blogs regularly. This will make you comment on posts. This in turn, will give backlinks and traffic to your sites. This is just one of the many ways to get free traffic to your sites.

I know you’ll be having a lot of other methods in your minds. But don’t go for spamming – it’s not good in the long run – it can even create a bad impression on your sites as well. Why should you be doing all those spamming works, if you can get traffic easily, the natural way. Online communities can bring in a lot of traffic to your sites. People have a natural tendency to visit others sites. And this is something which we should make use of. You should be staying active in various online communities helping others and interacting with others. You won’t be feeling as if you are doing these things for driving traffic to your site. But it’ll be easy and fun for you.

After you create a good reputation over online communities, then slowly you can start to promote your sites. Again, don’t go for spamming online communities. Why can’t you do things the right way? There will be places to enter your website urls – enter at just those places! Yeah, doing just that, won’t bring you decent traffic – you should find some other ways as well. If you have accounts in forums, then you would have come across signatures and other such stuffs. Promote your website links using the signature spots.

You can try orkut, facebook, myspace and other such online communities as well. Once you join these sites, you’ll surely be meeting people like you – who have registered there with the primary aim of promoting their sites. After staying active at these sites for a week or two, you’ll start learning their tricks and tips without they even telling you. So, don’t bother to ask them personally, you’ll come to know about them automatically. Just wait and see.

Joint Venture Development

A joint venture agreement is not one that should be entered into lightly. It should be treated with as much respect and dedication as the product or service you are offering. No one wants to fail or have to clean up the mess that poor planning can create. Joint venture development is something that does not happen over night. Or rather, should not.

A business plan should be made before seeking out joint venture partners. After all, how will you know what to look for in a partner if you do not know what you need from that partner? The goals and the needs of the group need to be clearly outlined to assure that everyone is well aware of what is expected of them to get the job completed.

A written agreement should be made so that there is a clear reference point for all involved to look back to or to keep everyone on the right track during the joint venture process. Knowing who should pay for what, who should do what, and what exactly the group is trying to achieve can help in any confusions later on. Also knowing the ultimate goal will allow for a clean break when the end of the joint venture is near.

It is highly probable that a joint venture project will lead into some gray areas in the way of client bases, email lists, and profit sharing so being able to combat these issues early on will be favorable to your team success. Joint venture development deals with more than the make up of the team, but also in how well you can overcome hurdles. Clearly establish who owns what rights as well as what rights will be given at the completion of the project. Once the joint venture is complete or disbanded, you want to be able to know who takes what with them and when.

Marketing is not everyone’s strong point so joint ventures can aide in getting your product or idea out to others. Developing a strong team of individuals that are proficient in your niche is the best way to go about a joint venture development. Finding people that have a good reputation and are trustworthy will ensure the success of the venture as well.

Everyone wants to succeed in their business ventures. It is the approach that is often different from one campaign to the next. Joint ventures promote the idea of teamwork, more heads being better than one, and profit motivation to be successful. As joint ventures can mean the difference between converting leads and cold calls, proper joint venture development is key to internet success.
