Make Money with your Blog

By Peter Roberts

There are two main types of business models that entrepreneurs use to make money blogging. 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.

The second type of money is a blog that helps a single brand improve its image by creating positive associations between the blog and the product in the minds of consumers. Both types of blogs can make a lot of money, especially if the creator has a great mind for marketing.

If you are maintaining a blog with the goal of selling advertising, there are two basic ways that you can go about to recruit 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. The advantages of this program are numerous, as it requires very little effort on the part of the blogger or webmaster to begin raking in profits.

However, most people discover that they make less money with great effort through this method than they had hoped that their blog would earn. Selling advertising directly to companies who want to put banner ads or sponsored links on your blog can be time consuming, but it is often fairly lucrative. If you can make good contacts in industries that are related to the topic of your blog, you may want to try to go this route.

As a blog becomes more and more lucrative business, more and more companies are considering how they can get in the action. One way that companies are taking advantage of the movement of the blog is that blogs have offered a kind of friendly face for their corporation. Often, a company employing a blogger to create a weblog designed specifically to appeal to enterprise customers and create positive associations with the brand in the minds of consumers.

More than one writer who never even dreamed that he or she can make money blogging has been approached by a company and offers a pretty penny for this kind of concert.
