Three Ways To Monetize Your Blog

Tell me. What's the first thing that comes to your mind whenever you hear the word "t-rex-parts?" Its easy question. Of course, you understand his quality. But what about the world "blog?"

Web logs, or blogs as they have fondly been referred to in recent years, were originally meant as online journals where users can talk about the events of their days, their thoughts about political issues and current events, their reviews on certain products or services, and the likes. Blogs have served a social purpose, one that allows the user to connect to the whole world through the things he will share in writing.

This has led to the meteoric rise of blogs as one of the most popular internet tools for the new generation.

But blogs have evolved from merely being social outlets in cyberspace into profitable channels which could provide for the user several income streams to supplement his current earnings, or perhaps even surpass the same.

Indeed, blogs have become viable marketing weapons that could rake in some outstanding profits--if you know how to use them.

There are three ways by which you could monetize your blog.

1. Using Blogs As Digital Stores

Believe it or not, you could sell products through your blog. Whether these be digital products or tangible good, yours or others', you could promote them in your blog entries and earn for yourself some amazing income in the process.

If you wish to sell your own products, digital or otherwise, you could simply write some favorable reviews in your blog entries so that the items may be presented to your readers in a positive light.

But not every blogger has the capabilities to sell his or her own products. The best way to go is to sign up with affiliate programs. Affiliate programs are arrangements whereby an affiliate, namely the blogger, would pre-sell an affiliate merchant's products. The affiliate would earn a commission per successful sale he or she will manage to refer to the affiliate merchant. This commission can range from as low as 20% to as high as 95%. 

Regardless of the program you will join, you'd be given an affiliate link to promote. Whenever a visitor of yours would click on the said link, they'd be taken to the affiliate merchant's sales page. The affiliate merchant would take care of things from there. Your job is already done, and all that is left to do is to pray that the said visitor would actually purchase the affiliate merchant's products so that you'd earn your commission.

2. Going The AdSense Route

Yet another way to make your blog a venerable cash cow is to enroll with the AdSense program. AdSense is Google's Pay Per Click (PPC) system, so named because the system would send out contextually relevant advertisements to your blog, and whenever a visitor of yours would click on the said ads, you'd earn a specified amount, per click. 

The fact that AdSense would send out contextually relevant ads means that only ads which are related to the subject of your website would be displayed. If your blog is devoted to discussing dogs, for example, AdSense would send out ads about dog grooming products and services, dog care eBooks, dog clothes, and the likes.

What does this mean?

Since your ads would be connected to the general subject of your blog, there is a higher chance that your visitors would click on the same. This would only increase your online earnings via the PPC program.

Visit the AdSense site at www.google.com/adsense.

3. Your Blog As A Back Link Builder

80% of the traffic that can be generated from any website would come from the search engines. And an integral part of being successful with search engines lies in securing a high page rank for your website. A high page rank would make your website appear in the first few pages of search engine results. This means that people who are looking for the information your website can offer would be able to find you through the said search engines.

Having a high page rank is important for websites that sell some products. The more visitors they'd have, the more sales they'll be able to generate for their online business.

Central in securing a high page rank is garnering a lot of back links. Back links are the number of pages linking to your website.

And this is where blogs enter the picture.

Since blogs are very easy to create, you could make several of them, with each blog linking to your main website. The result? An instant increase in the number of your back links, an instant boost to your page rank, and consequently, a higher position in search engine results

Paytm app updated with new features

Digital payment platform Paytm has updated its mobile app with some new features.

After the update, merchants will be able to accept up to Rs 50,000 directly into their bank accounts. They will now be able to declare themselves on the app itself and start accepting up to Rs. 50,000 directly. The amount is settled at midnight every day, with the settlement charges staying at 0%.

Lastly, the app provides the users access to 'Paytm Community Forums' option, where they can get all their queries answered.

Recently, Paytm announced that its wallet business will soon be transferred to its payments bank. The company mentioned that the Paytm Wallet will soon be transferred to the newly incorporated Paytm Payments Bank automatically but added that the m-wallets will work even after January 15.

Things like login details, wallet balance and user experience will remain the same as well.

5 Unique Ways People Are Making Money Online

I believe its often a good idea to have a “side-business” even if you are fully employed as a way to supplement what you are currently making and to offset any changes in employment or other life-happenings that make befall you.

While there is often a lot of leg work involved in getting an online business going (its definitely not a get-rich-quick opportunity), it sometimes can turn into a passive-income business once you have a product in place.

Here’s a few unique online businesses that I’ve recently come across to give you some ideas of what others are doing – that could help jump-start your own thoughts on the matter. Most of the successful internet businesses are filling a need (or creating one) and serving a particular niche. Often, the narrower the niche, the better.

1. FreeMarketTrade.com. This is a business that a couple of friends have started up recently. It’s an online marketplace where all items are free. Members give away household items they no longer want or need, and earn points that they can use to obtain items they do want or need. While all items are free, the cost of shipping items to and from the store (located in Minnesota) is covered by members. (Members who live close to our store can cut out shipping all together by bringing in and selecting items in person). (Free Trade Mart has a registration special until March 31, 2013. The subscription is normally $25 for a year (to help cover the cost of the storage facility), but it’s only $10 for those who subscribe this month. Receive a refund of $15 by mentioning “Three Thrifty Guys” in the referral box on the sign-up page. Members will also receive $5 every time they refer a family member or friend (this benefit is unlimited). Your family and friends will receive a $10 membership refund if they sign up by March 31^st.)
2. CustomGuide.com. Jon started this business while he was in college to offer tutorials to students and others who wanted to learn the ins and outs of Microsoft Office products. He now has a vibrant business with a staff and sells online-learning to large institutions and businesses. If you have a skill or knowledge about some type of service or product – online education is definitely a growing business and great opportunity to make extra income.
3. Internet Marketing. Internet marketing has become a big online business these days. While not entirely unique – it is probably one of the most widely used methods to make money online today. Basically it is using advertising or other promotion techniques to sell product or services over the Internet. As a college drop-out, Kevin started an internet marketing business and uses DropOutGotRich.com to share tips and techniques he’s used to build an online enterprise. Another helpful person in this niche is Pat at SmartPassiveIncome.com - who routinely generates about $30-50k from his online “niche” businesses every month and shares insights on how to do the same.
4. JustAnswer.com Expert. Last year I ran into some issues with a small electrical issue at my house and decided to try JustAnswer.com to get some quick input from an electrician. It was an easy way to get in touch without having someone come out to the house and pay a larger service fee (which sometimes amounts to something you could have done yourself). So, if you are gifted at a certain trade, you can become an “expert” at the site and earn side-income by helping folks with everyday problems. I think it’s a great concept for an online business.
5. Day Trading. I have heard of more folks doing this today. From Forex currency trading, to buying/selling shares through online brokerage services. I wouldn’t place my bets on this type of income generation, as it is fairly risky and demands a fair amount of capital to get started. But, for some it can prove lucrative.

Any other ways that you or someone else you know making money online today?

CPM Advertising Network - Top Paying

If you pay attention to the types of traffic you are getting in your website or blog, you should be able to tell if most of them are organic traffics from search engines, or direct referrals. Organics traffics from search engines convert good to CPC, but visitors who visit your site on regular basis (the direct ones) will hardly clicks on these CPC ads. To convert this type of traffics to revenue, using CPM ads are one good solution.

CPM (Cost Per thousand Impressions), generally on publishers’ point of views are how much one can earn when an ad gets 1000 impressions on the website. Some ad networks pay $3/CPM, some $4, but the average is about that. If you have 700 regular unique visitors generates about 1000 impressions a day on your site, these people are not likely to click on CPC ads, so I’d say CPM ads are probably a better way out. Here’s few of the top paying CPM ad networks that I’ve come to know, used or heard before. If you have more, I’d be happy to add them in. Full list after jump.
