Fast and Easy Monetization Techniques for Internet Marketers' Blogs

By James Steele


All Internet marketers require a blog. The site they are using to market other products is often used by some marketers to run their blog. Some marketers, however, choose to create and run their blogs on separate websites. Irrespective of the option you pick, you are probably well aware of how critical it is to have a blog of your own. Blogs are essential to build a brand, establish relationships and position yourself as an expert within the niche you have chosen. They can also provide additional money.

Create a review of Amazon products and post it on your blog. You can decide which products you write about which is the best thing about this approach. Amazon has an excellent referral and affiliate program meaning that if someone buys a product or a book through the link on your blog, you get a decent percentage of the sale. The easiest way to make plenty of sales via this strategy is to create in-depth reviews to give people some idea of they will be buying but without giving it all away.

Place advertising in the footers and headers of your blog. It is already known that the sidebar of a blog is wonderful for placing ads. Consider putting a few ads in your footer and header. The header and footer space of your blog should be utilized for banner advertising. Banner ads usually bring in more money than simple sidebar ads. If you have a wider header or footer space, you can make a lot of money off of these ads. It does not matter which page your blog visitor is on because the ads are viewable from all of them. You can easily promote ads directly or thru one of the advertising portals.

Post content other people have created on your blog. It is a bit like guest posting but is often more salesy and includes links to products they want to sell. Make sure you are careful if you decide to employ this technique. You can charge a fair bit for this service because you have little to say in terms of the content. At the same time the lack of control over the content means that you are running the risk of accidentally alienating your blog's readers. You have to include a policy that offers you the right to approve or deny content. The additional control over what you post on your blog is vital and more than worth it, even if you have to lower your prices.

There are lots of ways to use your blog to bring in some extra dollars. While there are many uses for a blog when it comes to a business that focuses on internet marketing, you can still monetize it to make some money for yourself. These are suggestions you can use to monetize your blog.
