There are quite a few ways that you can create an income from your blog. I will cover a couple here.
The first and most common way to turn a blog into a profit making machine is to sell advertising to different companies and brands who want to reach that blog's readers.
A similar but different method is to blog on a certain topic or in a certain niche wher you can suggest products or services to your readers in exchange for a commission.
If you keep your mind on marketing both of these methods can become profitable blogs.
If you are blogging with the goal of selling advertising, there are two basic ways that you can go about recruiting sponsors who want to put ads on your site; you can let someone else do all of the legwork, or you can do the work yourself and keep all of the revenue.
Within the first group, many people make money blogging by selling space through Google's AdSense program.
This saves you the work of finding prospects and recruiting them to your advertising program.
Unfortunately, most people expect to make thousands a month with this type service and the are usually disappointed by much lower income.
Selling advertising directly to companies who want to put banner ads or sponsored links on your blog can take quite a bit of time, but it is often fairly lucrative.
If you are working in a niche that you know well the first thing you should do is try to contact others in that niche that you think might benefit from advertising on your blog.
If you have experience pitching products and services you can try to your own direct sales with companies that have products in your niche but this method does require you to know at least a little about salemanship.
The biggest problem with either of these method is that you usually have to build up a good amount of traffic to the site or good search engine ranking before people will be interested in placing advertisements with you.
Today people, companies and even politicians are aware of the power of a blog and they are all trying to carve out their own little section of the blogosphere.
Sometimes they will establish their own company blog that will provide information about their company and product.
Sometimes companies will look for bloggers with experience to design a blog specifically for them that either builds a relationship for the customer or creates brand recognition or works as a presell for their products.
As you can see these are only a couple of ways you can make money with your blog there are many more ways and you might be surprised at the offers you get if your blog becomes popular.
