How to Make the Most Money with Your Blog

Starting and creating a blog can earn you a decent amount of money. Especially if you have more than one blog and sign up for as many "pay you to blog" sites as you can. When you first start your blog or blogs you must remember to post regularly with original content that will interest your readers. Getting your blog ready to earn you money will consist of many things you will need to do. It is hard work but in the end you will benefit greatly from it.

As you post regularly about whatever topic you have decided to talk about you should monetize your blog with ads from companies such as Google Adsense, Adbrite, Bidvertiser, Yahoo Publisher Network or Auction Ads. Once you start to get visitors and they see an ad they like they will most likely click on that ad and you will be paid for every click you get.

I do not recommend Google Adsense and I'm not trying to make anyone mad but that is my opinion. The reason why is because
I have heard from so many people that have been banned by them for reasons that were not their own fault. I am not discouraging anyone to not try them out but this is my own opinion.

Google Adsense is also very strict and this is another reason why I do not recommend them. If you decide to use Google Adsense you must go by their terms of service or you will be banned and lose any amount of money you have earned. Since you have to wait until you reach $100 before you get paid you could easily lose whatever you earned if you even accidentally go against their terms of service.

That is why it is important to read their terms of service as much as you can in case they change something. You cannot advertise your website or blog
on traffic exchanges while using Google Adsense. You also cannot use any other revenue sharing ads along with Google Adsense. Like I said they are very strict and I do not recommend them at all. Some people do like them and even swear by them so it is up to you whether you want to try them or not.

The service I do recommend is Auction Ads. They are owned by a site called "Review Me." Review Me is a "pay you to blog" site that I am a member of. When signing up for Auction Ads through Review Me you will get a $5 sign up bonus added to your account. You can also place ads on as many different websites or blogs that you have to make the most money from them.

I currently have 3 blogs but I will be starting 2 more as soon as I get the extra time. I have been told by fellow bloggers that 5 blogs is good enough to make an extra $1,000 a month. Who couldn't use an extra $1,000 every month? With all of the hard work posting, promoting, monetizing and marketing it will be well worth it in the long run.

Blogs are so easy to create and they are fun too. I was told that having a paid host will earn you more money with the "pay you to blog" sites but right now it is not an option for me so I am sticking with Blogger for free hosting. I am sure I can make quite enough extra money to help pay the bills and put food on the table every month with my free blogger blogs. Right now making money the free way is essential for me.

Create Blogs with Good Content

I have also learned that it is better to create blogs that people enjoy reading. It is very important to keep posting regularly. People like to read about news and entertainment so I have also created an entertainment blog that will be ready in a couple of months. If you have been going through depression or have been diagnosed with any kind of physical or mental illness you could create a blog talking about that. I lived through depression for many years before I was able to get help so I created a blog about my life with depression. Now that I am on the right medication I am able to talk about my good days as well as my bad days as well as helping others get through their depression by talking about my own. Any topic for your blogs will do as long as you can make it interesting enough to keep your readers coming back. I don't get many visitors to my other 2 blogs yet but that is what I am trying to accomplish now.

Promoting and Marketing Your Blog

Not only do you need to write good content but you need to market your blog. You need to get it out there anyway you can. There are a lot of great free places you can place your link. Traffic Exchanges are free and they are good but I don't use them a lot. I mostly use forums, blog and search directories and other sources of free advertising. There is also paid advertising but I won't use it unless I have to. I have found that free advertising gets me more traffic to my blogs than the paid advertising.

Another thing you want to consider when you start your blog is to exchange links with other bloggers. You will want to exchange links with other blogs that are relevant to your blog. For example; I have a money making blog and I have exchanged links with other bloggers that blog about making money. Doing this has given me my first Page Rank of 3. Page Rank is important because it means how many pages you are on Google. I get most of my traffic from
being on 3 pages of Google. You can check for your page rank every three months by using a PR Checker Tool.

There are a lot of blog and search engine directories on the web. It is important to try to add your blog link to as many as you can. Blogcatalog, SEO Supreme, Blog Skinny, and Directory Submission Manager are all free and good ones to use. Some require a link back to them.

Getting Paid to Blog

So you see if you work hard and post on your blogs as much as you can, place ads on your blog that will earn you every time someone clicks on one of those ads, and promote your blogs as much as you can, anywhere you can, you can make some decent money with your blogs. Like I said there are a lot of websites that will pay you to write a simple reviews for their advertisers. I am currently doing reviews for PayPerPost, Blogitive, Blogsvertise, Smorty, Sponsored Reviews, and Review Me. I have been paid by all except Review Me. I do have my first review reserved for them and it is due in a few days. I know of other bloggers who have been paid really good by all of them.

If you want to get paid to blog then you should get started as soon as possible because like I mentioned above, most "pay you to blog" sites won't accept your blog unless it is at least 90 days old. There is one that will accept it at 60 days and that is Blogsvertise.

Have fun and good luck with getting paid to blog!
