There isn’t an internet marketer who isn’t aware of the fact that to build their business they need to blog. Some businesses are built completely around blogs by their owners. Blogs can generate an excellent income, which should be kept in mind, even if your blog is simply for brand building and relationship strengthening with your customers. You have a wide range of options when it comes to monetizing your blog and we will be discussing a few approaches you can adopt to generate some extra money in this article.
Review Amazon products on your blog. The great thing about this particular strategy is that you get to choose which products you review. Amazon has an excellent referral and affiliate program meaning that if someone buys a product or a book through the link on your blog, you get a decent percentage of the sale. You need to write thorough reviews that give people enough information without actually giving everything away, as this is the secret to generating sales via this strategy.
You will generate more sales by posting reviews rather than simply posting a widget on your sidebar. You will be making more sales but you’ll also find it easier to win over the people reading your blog. Sell direct ads on your sidebars. A particular amount of space on your sidebars can be set aside for advertisers. You can charge different rates for different sized graphic advertisements. While you can use an ad network to do this, you are better off doing it direct because you will be making more money. By making the sale direct, you can avoid paying the network a percentage of the sale. You also get more control over who advertises on your blog and for how long their ads stay up.
