Ways to make money from websites

After the article ‘Blogging as leisure time into part time’ I think it’s the best time to tell you the ways to make money from your blog.

There are many blogs on the internet with single topic having hundreds of similar things, so if you have read above article you must have got an idea that you must first be stabilized in your niche to go forward with money making. Here I’ll discuss you main ways you can earn money through blogging, even Problogger Darren Rowse is following,

Contextual advertising

Adsense and YPN could be enlisted under this. This type is the most popular method popular among the bloggers to make money online. How this type works is these programs scan the content of your blog and put ads (usually text and image) relevant to the content. Payments are made according to the CPC(Cost Per Click) method where it counts every click that was made on the ads.

Impression Based Ads

These kinds of ads pay a small amount for every person who view the ads. There are various kinds of ad systems found on the net, like FastClick and Tribal Fusion. These won’t earn you much if you don’t have a big traffic.

Text Ads

Text ads are also increasingly popular because it don’t need a big space on the layout, it just need a single line for it. The user can have more control over these ads. Examples are AdBrite, Bidvertiser and Adzaar

RSS Ads

Even most of them are in testing modes, but RSS feed ads are seem to be improving. Pheedo is a system you might like to try.

Blogging as leisure time into a part time

Since the start of blogging culture in the Internet, blogging and blog sites has been increased in big numbers. Just by searching in blogsearch.google.com for any topic that comes to your mind, you can get an simple idea about how many people are involved in this culture.

It is arguable but some can say blogging is a money making thing and some can say it is a kind of leisure time activity to share the knowledge. But blogging is actually both, you can start blogging as a knowledge sharing portal and if you wanted, can expand in to a money making blog. But you must also note that from the total number of blogs in the world (112.8 million) stated by Technorati in 2008, most of them are just knowledge sharing websites, but not for money making. If you’re interested in blogging you can start it as a leisure time and expand it in to a part time.

The important point about leisure to part time or to full time is, when you start a blog or any other website you first have to have set of unique audience to present your blog, if you do not achieve this there is no point of wasting more time on that blog, that’s why you must not start blogging as a job straight away.
