How to Make Money Blogging

During these uncertain times a lot of people are looking for ways to not only save but also make a little extra money. One way to do this is by blogging. That’s right set up your blog and start blogging to your heart’s content. Just a word of caution this is not the easiest way to make money and it does take quite some time before you see money trickle in on a regular basis. A rough estimate is 6 to 18 months before you see a consistent income.



Of course you want to find a place to host your blog such as www.blogger.com, www.typepad.com or wordpress.com. Some places allow you to host your blog for free and others charge a small fee. It will only take you about 5 minutes to set your blog up.


The first thing you want to do is blog about something you are passionate about and those things that you can have a lot of fun with. Make sure you are blogging about original content or at the very least put an original spin to old material.


You can add banners and google adsense to your blog which will enable you to make money every time someone clicks on one of your advertisements.


Everyone is not going to make money with their blog and just as fast as someone starts a blog another blog is shut down for a variety of reasons. Some people shut their blog down because of lack of interest. Those are the people that started blogging just to make money. A lot of people blog for the joy of blogging and it turns out that they are the ones that make the most money. Blogging can be done as a way to record your daily random thoughts and still others use blogging to promote a business or a product or service.





Some of the resources you can use to generate revenue include TTZ Media, Kontera.com, Contentlink, Pepperjam Network, Text link Ads, Bidvertiser, ReviewMe.com, Dealdotcom, AzoogleAds, and Market Leverage. You have to apply with each of these resources. If you are approved you will be able to add the html code to your website and wait for the income to come in.

To your Great success

Making Money with User Testing

If you want to make some extra money you can do so by reviewing websites. Go to the website Usertesting.com and register. To get approved you have to complete the necessary steps. This website will pay you $10 per website. You get a chance to look over websites and point out deficiencies for the site owners. Your main purpose is to determine how user friendly a website is. The owner of the site then has a chance to review a video of you navigating around on his or her website.

Good Luck.
