As blogging became more and more popular, it was inevitable that someone would come up with a way to make money off of it. Over the past several years, many bloggers have developed methods to make money off of their blog. Many of these methods are cumbersome and tiring, but almost all of them will work if given the proper support and dedication.
Big Blogging Bucks
A time consuming venture, the big blog money making route can also be the most profitable. By focusing on only a few blogs and making them very visible in their niche category, ‘flagship’ blogs have enormous followings and generate daily traffic. Combining highly visible blogs with direct advertising sales can make for a very profitable blog. This money making scheme is perfect for bloggers with good social networking skills as well as marketing experience. Unfortunately, this is very time intensive process so bloggers looking for quick case should stay away from this scheme.
Get Paid to Post
Simply put, there are several website that will pay out a set amount of money for each reader of a blog. Websites such as Review Me, PayPerPost and Blogitive are good examples. By creating several blogs each day and submitting them to all of the pay per read sites, you can make a tidy profit. This is a pretty good method because you don’t actually need a lot of readers to make a profit. Its downfall is that you will need to spend a lot of time writing many different posts and spend time maintaining them.
Splogging
By setting up blogs to pull content automatically from search engines, RSS feeds and news outlets, very little time is needed to create new blogs with quality content. By combining this method with Google Adsense or other contextual ad site, your blog can produce profits. Unfortunately it is difficult to turn a large profit with this. Even the best sploggers have difficulty gaining more than $5 – $10 per site per month, so multiple blogs would be required for a decent profit. Also, splogging is considered a gray hat technique and is frowned upon by many in the SEO community at large.
Link Selling
By developing a blog and developing an affiliate relationship with websites and small business owners, a blog can turn a profit. Simply put, an affiliate partner will pay you each time a customer buys something from them after they follow a link from your site. Search engine ranking and niche markets are a huge part of a successful link selling blog, so bloggers with talents in those area’s could do very well with this type of blog. Be aware there may be a cap to the number of links you can sell, meaning you can only make so much money
rich articles on the topic, optimize it for search, set up Adsense or affiliate programs and then leave them alone
These methods and several others may allow you to make a respectable income via a blog. Do your due diligence and make sure you understand what you are getting into before attempting to set up a business making money using blogs.

Great methods to earn money through blogging. Thanks a lot for the useful article. I agree that developing an affiliate relationship with websites can really be useful for making profit. Keep posting.
The “Get paid to Post” options looks like a great idea. PayPerPost claims you can easily make $500 a month. Does anyone have experience using them and how mucn time would you spend to make those $500?
get paid to post – it’s really good idea!
You need to be careful with pay-per-post and link selling. Google does not condone selling text links where the purpose appears to only focus around improving a site’s search engine rankings or PageRank. So if someone reports you for selling links, you can lose your PageRank and your Google search engine rankings. At my last job we bought a bunch of pay-per-post posts to help market our website, but half of the blogs would end up losing their PageRank within a couple months. So be careful and don’t use these strategies excessively.
How can I make money on a busy and unpredictable schedule? It’s hard to find a job that has enough hours and flexibility.
