How Do You Make Money From Your Blog?

[melvin]

Hey bloggeries members,

In my blog, I recently shared how MelvinBlog makes its money and not surprisingly most of the blog's income are from the standard stuffs.

The blogs' revenue comes from the following

1. Direct Advertising
2. Affiliate Marketing
3. Product Sales
4. Unorthodox Monetization Ways

Obviously my main income earner is direct advertising which is obviously still a hit and miss one so in the next few months I am looking to shy away from that and focus more on relationships so that I could have a more "in-house" way to monetize my blog. The unorthodox ways are the crazy ways like selling links in posts, putting that shady banner ad for 10 euro kind of thing and gaming CPM advertising.

Anyways, since most of you here benefit financially from your blogs as well, I'd like to know your source too.!

Right now I am only using Adsense and an amazon affiliate link here and there. Once my blog grows a bit, I want to create e-books and sell them through the site. I've read just how great they can be for not only promotion but for the obvious addition of income.

I think some advertising and Adsense can help you to earn some money with your blog.

I use Affiliate Script, a small Amazon ad service that I programmed myself:

Hi guys, pretty new here, been reading a lot for the past days.

I have about 20 blogs myself and I'm doing pretty good, money-wise. My blogs are mostly generating income through CPALead, although i have one that runs fine with just adsense.

What really did it for me, was a plugin my brother wrote (he's more of a coder, i'm more of a marketing-type), that adds a real incentive for your visitors to complete surveys.

I'll check out some of the ways mentioned here, and if anyone is interested in the plugin, drop me a pm.

See you soon!

I´m in an affiliate progam. I have a link on my blog. With each click I get a little bit of money from the website I´m linking to. No costs for the one who´s clicking the link.
