Make Money From Blogs


Problem
How can I make money from blogs?

Answers
Three basic ways:

1 Advertising
If anything you write goes viral or you already have a huge following, you can attract advertisers. If not, try the next methods.
How to get huge numbers of readers? You have to work at it all day, have a photogenic dog or kid or be glamorous, or visit zany and unusual places - or offer really good advice on a popular subject, or be a trusted authority with a huge following. (Or be great at sales.)

2 Affiliate marketing
You have to provide links to every item you recommend in order to get a proportion of sales from people who click through on the link. This would be tedious making hundreds of links. But you can get a couple of standard links to big sites such as Amazon.

If you sign up for Amazon affiliates in English, you can also opt to join the Amazon in other languages to pick up readers if your bog is also published in other languages.

Publishing in other languages is easy. When you or the webmaster set up your blog, it just means ticking the boxes for a choice of a dozen languages. Flags or letters for other languages then appear on your webpage for your readers to select.
You just do this once when setting up your webpage. Then every post you write is on a website with the translation symbol.

But you then need to read all the emails and reminders which Amazon Affiliates sends you in all the other languages you have chosen, or run them through google translate.

3 You sign up to the services which do the affiliations for you and share the profits with them.
WooCommerce
Simple Payments

4 Sell you own product.
 I went to a talk by a young Singaporean millionaire. to find products which would sell well, he did not have to produce anything or do any test marketing. He simply went onto sites such as Amazon and Ebay to find their best sellers and sold those products through links to his website.

It depends whether your aim is to simply find a product to sell, or whether you want to do a job you love. If you lose interest in products you don't know about or care about, then make a whole blog on something you will love writing about every moment of the day, whether it is fashion, or fishing, or football. Add videos and focus on the one subject and add newsletters and forums and comments to increase your ratings.

Be on media with links to all the sites. Which ones? Just check out the sharing options on the newspapers and websites you read.

5 Sell your services. You can advise on Skype. Use WooCommerce. Wrodpress.com Simple Payments.

6 Sell a product you make. You could sell through Ebay and Etsy.
