You have probably set up at least one blog if you work in internet marketing. Blogs are great for showcasing your personality while setting yourself up as an authority in your niche. You can sell your products through your blog. It can help you build relationships with others. Brand building is another aspect it can help with. You likely are already aware of all this. What you might not understand is that your blog is also a great source of income. This is a great approach to supplement the income your existing projects are generating. You can generate some additional cash with your blog using the following strategies.
Get people to sponsor your posts. An effective approach to using your blog to generate additional income is to request that people sponsor your various posts. Adding a footer to your post with information such as the company name, the fact they are providing sponsorship and a link to their site is the simplest approach to doing this. You could even allow them to insert a graphic in the area for an additional cost. You can create a special contact form on your blog for people who are interested in providing sponsorship. If you post regularly, you will have plenty of options when it comes to generating additional income, even if it will take a while to agree on a price.
Create paid posts. Sponsored posts and paid posts aren't the same thing. A paid post is usually about a topic that the payer has decided upon. This approach requires some caution. Some people believe that if they pay for a post it means they can make you change your opinion and write something else in your post. You can choose whether or not you want to accept post assignments like this. A nice benefit of this approach is that you can make your life easier and that of potential clients by joining networks which promote your blog to people who are looking to buy posts.
Why not build your own paid job board? Because you are an IM'er, you are probably aware of plenty of people who have odd jobs that they do not want to do. Build a board and let them list these jobs? You can invoice them for board space. You get paid. They find potential employees. More readers might start coming to your blog. This is good for the other forms of monetization you might have in place. Everyone is happy in the end.
Monetizing a blog is a great way to bring in some extra money. Some people have been so successful at blog monetization that they don't really need to do anything else to make money. Most people, however, use their blogs for supplemental income to the money they make from larger projects which is likely what you will be doing as well. On the other hand, every little bit extra is important, isn't it?
