Did you earn from Blogdash.com

If I remember correctly, I received a direct mail from Blogdash.com asking me to register my blogs with them. Blog dash acts as a platform for bloggers and product/service owners to increase outreach.

I don't know why such a confusing word is used! It could have been a simple blog marketing or brand awareness enhancing opportunity which would have attracted more bloggers to explore the possibilities of earning money by blogging.

As a problogger, I don't leave any stone unturned; I registered one of my blogs onemoresales.com. Thus far, it has been viewed only once by prospective advertisers.

I wonder what is the success stories of fellow probloggers.

What are the advertising opportunities for bloggers?

What I mean advertising opportunities for bloggers is ways and means to earn by blogging by placing advertisements in a blog.

I hope I have cleared a confusion in my title.

The most obvious types of getting paid to advertise are:

* Pay-per-click: Blogger gets paid when a click is generated on the ads placed.
All contextual ads fall in this category.

* Pay-per-impression: The advertiser pays the blogger each time the ad appears on the blog's page.
This method of monetization pays the least.

* Pay-per-action: This is more lucrative than the other two types. Here the the advertiser pays the blogger when an action is performed after clicking on the advertisement.
All affiliate marketing and lead generation belong to this category.

* Text links and banner ads: This also pays well and also very easy way to get paid from blogs.

How to earn money from your blogs without advertising?

I am sure it is possible to make money from your blogs other than the proven methods like PPC and direct text and banner ads.

You too know these methods but you may not have tried them out due to reasons such as lack of belief or other personal reasons.

Shall we do a quick review of the ways to earn money by blogging without placing advertisements?

Earn as a Pro-Blogger:

There are several blog marketing companies that hire bloggers to blog about their clients. These are also called blogging jobs or sponsored posts. Bloggers can apply to blogging jobs to earn money by blogging.

Offer guest posts:

You can offer to write blog posts to be posted in others’ blogs in your niche for a fee. This is a very potential area to earn money as a freelance blogger.

Earn by ghost writing:

It is similar to sponsored posts but the only difference is you don’t post your writing in your blog but on others’ blogs without any credit to you. This means you won’t be the official author of your blog posts but you still get paid.

Offer your services:

If you can teach others blogging or offer blog SEO services, you can make good money provided your services should be competitive. Script installation service is always in good demand. One can find several requests for script installations in popular forums and online market places.

Affiliate marketing:

This is often ignored by beginner bloggers without realizing its true potential. Income generated by affiliate sales can be much more than all other methods. If you learn how to carefully select hot selling digital information products, then it can be very lucrative.

buy sell ads revisited

Yes, it is time that I turned my attention on making money from blogs through space selling. It is quite some time since I explored on new blogging for money avenues and especially by selling ad space.

One of the top rated (not by me ) players in this field is Buy Sell Ads (BuySellAds.com) and I saw some big advertisers in their inventory. The bloggers who want to publish ads on their blogs to get paid can earn handsome money for just placing an advertisement but blogs criteria for approval by BuySellAds.com will turn away most of the bloggers.

BuySellAds.com is an online advertising network, a sort of meeting point for bloggers and advertisers that helps advertisers to find Web sites and blogs best suited for their ads and budgets.

Earning money by blogging opens many avenues for bloggers and selling ad space is definitely the easiest way because it involves almost nothing on your part to do anything to earn money.

Latest Adsense alternative.

Complaints from prospective Google AdSense publishers are widespread. You can read about bloggers’ AdSense application get a negative shove by Google in blog pots, forums and even in Google groups.

Shall we start to look into an AdSense alternative?

Let me introduce Query Ads

What Is Query Ads?

Query Ads is similar to Google Adsense, a PPC medium. It promises to find even long tail keywords and deliver relevant ads.

They pay when you earn $50 and they also pay you to refer. You can earn by referring both advertisers and publishers. You are paid 10% of their expenditure or income as the case may be.

In case you are wondering, Query Ads provides you lot f promotional tools to make your referral campaign effective.

How much can your blog earn for you?

Almost blogger that starts a blog with the sole purpose of earning a full time income by blogging. Inspired by so many success stories of bloggers like John Chow and Shoe Money, I too jumped the wagon about 4 years ago. But my income by blogging is no where near the earnings of bloggers that I wanted to emulate.

Why?

Do I lack the initiative? NO
Do I lack the technical knowledge? YES
Do I lack the persistence? YES

It is a known fact that traffic is lone criteria for income. But in order to increase traffic, I should know what is my present blog traffic. Only then I will be able to work on my blog to increase visitors.

Here is the most important web traffic tool that bloggers should seriously look into. Tail Report surveys your blog traffic and rank and compares the statistics with blogs of similar niche and gives you a report on how much can your blog ear for you.

How it works?
Webmasters take a short survey about their traffic and ranking and in return Tail Report gives an anlutical report that shows how their site’s revenue does against other sites similar in traffic/ranking. Also, Tail Report tells you how much your blog needs to grow to meet your income gals.

It is an interesting exercise for webmasters and bloggers who have set themselves big income goals by blogging.

PayPerPost V4.0 Alpha - Just opened to bloggers.

PayPerPost V4.0 Alpha - Just opened to bloggers-well, it might have been online a few days before but I came to know of it only today.

So what is new in this program from the house of legendary Pay per Post who offers ways to earn by blogging?

For veterans of sponsored posts, there may not be anything new as they are already aware of the concept of making money by blogging through various words in their blog posts.

This PayPerPost V4, is called “sponsored conversation” that has introduced two income opportunities: “price per link” and “price per word”.

What is price per link?
You may be asked to link certain words in your blog posts to sponsors' websites and you are paid per link. You are allowed to fix the price per link and the minimum amount is $ 0.50 per link.

What is price per word?

This again relates to the number of words in your blog posts. Whatever amount you fix per word, you will be paid if accepted. The default amount is .03 per word; so, for a 200 word post, you will make $6.00, plus your ‘price per link’.

I know it is a bit confusing to totally new comers. But, you will get over it once you are with Pay per post for a week or so.

I am not registering with them because of their disclosure policy. In fact, that is why I have stayed away from them for the last two years. But I have gained valuable experience while working for them. I also enjoyed their community forum where I met quite a few human beings.

Paid Blogging -- Different Ways to Make Money Online

If you happen to use Google alert, try setting up an alert for ‘Paid Blogging’, or “Blogging Money”. Your email inbox will be brimming with paid blogging opportunities.

There are a few different reasons why this is the case.

First of all, more people are reading blogs every single day. In fact, many people read several blogs throughout the day in order to catch up on everything from celebrity gossip to news about their hobbies. You can cash in on this fact by being a paid blogger!

Blogging for companies.

I have come across companies that will hire you to maintain their blog and keep it updated with content. You can get paid per post or per hour.

Paid blogging assignments:

You can accept paid blog post assignments where companies will pay you a fee to blog about their product or service. I have been doing this since 2005.

If you have several blogs set up in different niches, the sky is the limit for what you can earn.

Get paid to advertise:

This is one the best ways and also the easiest one to earn money by blogging.

Also, this is a passive income opportunity. It works just like newspaper which is filled with ad wherever there is no real news content.

Similarly, you can sell out ad space in your blog to companies through ad brokers.

Ok, how to go about all of these? Are there guides? Are there mentors?

Yes!

The best resource I have found is The Niche Blogger run by Amy Bass. She is a mother of four who stays home with her children and blogs as a way to provide for her family.

How to Create a Blog -- It's Easy With the Right Instruction

Learning how to create a blog can be incredibly intimidating if you have never done it before but with some guidance, it is a breeze.

It can seem awfully technical with new glossaries but actually it is not all that technical.

The Internet is crammed with blogging tutorials, video tutorials. Of the lot, I would personally recommend "The Niche Blogger". This is simply the best program on the Internet because it will help even the newest of new Internet marketers start their niche blogging empire.

This is a membership based site with monthly or one time payment. When you consider your future income that is just passive, you can very well decide to pay.

There are complete screenshots and incredibly detailed directions that show you step-by-step what you need to do for everything from niche research, to installing, marketing, and making money from your blog.

The author’s name is Amy Bass, a work from home mother. When you visit her website, she inculcates a feeling that she is one among us and she really cares.

Her honesty and compassion for helping people has really stood out in my mind and has separated The Niche Blogger membership from anything else I have purchased online.

If you're not sure how to create a blog you really shouldn't spend frustrating days or even weeks trying to get your first blog on the web.

The price of The Niche Blogger is so low that it's really hard to pass up because it saves you so much time and energy.

One of the great things is that you will easily be able to earn back the small monthly fee if you put the concepts and techniques into action.

There literally is nothing left out and there are screenshots, videos, text instructions, access to Amy, and even an online forum where everyone can help each other.

This kind of deal simply can't be found anywhere else on the web.

Plug in and earn money from your blog.

When I started blogging in 2005, I wondered if my blog can be converted into an e-commerce site.

This is 2009. In these 4 years, I have not come across an e-commerce blog that process shopping orders and takes payment through Paypal or Google Checkout.

Today, I happen to read about a Wordpress e-commerce plugin that will convert your WP blog into a full pledged e-com website. Since this is a plugin, you need not worry about all the technicalities of setting up an e-commerce website.

But, you need to do some initial configuration and tweak a few settings in WP admin panel. Once done, you have a real money earning blog in your hands. Then it is up to you to use your creativity to enhance your first e-com blog.

You can see the screenshots of the plugin.

Bloggers and Writers are needed.

There are two offbeat sites that are in need of Bloggers and Writers are needed. The reason behind the words bloggers and writers is because for one site, mere blogging experience is not enough.

Blue Mountain Arts is the leading greeting cards manufacturers and publishers. They are in need of very creative writers who can write the appropriate message either in the form of text or poetry for various occasions.

This is a tough job for me but what about you or your friends?

The other site that requires bloggers is Eco-friendly Solutions at EcoFuss. This is a familiar subject for hundreds of bloggers. I know many a passionate green bloggers (can I call them like that?) would jump at this opportunity.

Oh, I should give you the URL for applying- right?

Earn from your site feed.

What I foresee in the long run is more ways to monetize your blog's RSS feed. RSS feed subcription by email is a great feature in the Internet. By this way, bloggers offer to show their blog content to their feed subscribers the full content of their blog.

What is the disadvantage in this method is you are shutting off your regular visitors from your blog thus losing the probabilities of AdSense clicks. Other link and banner ads you might have adverised are also losing views and clicks.

To overcome this problem, Google has come forward to display Google ads in your blog feed also. To ustilise this option, you must go to your AdSense account and click on 'Adsense Setup' button and click on "AdSense for feeds".

Just follow the easy onscreen displays and you are done.

I expect more advertisers will conatct if your feed count shows three digits.

New opportunity to earn from your blogs.

One of my blog post Where can you buy unlocked cell phones?" has received a rather lengthy comment in which, there was no indication of having read my blog post. But the commentator
used the opportunity to introduce his/her website Contentxn publisher network. Yes, it is a 'earn money from your blogs' opportunity.

Contentxn is an open platform for writers who actively maintain websites or blogs or just have a mailing list of friends or subscribers, to inform and talk about their favorite products, services, websites or companies, and yes get paid for it. You can call it a blog monetization method.

I looked at their website, but could not exactly make out how a blogger can gain from it. However I signed up for free but I am yet to take active interest due to prior commitments.
Contentxn is still in beta and I think you require an invitation from them to sign up.

If you get to know about Contentxn more, I request you to either email me (email in my profile) or leave a feedback here.

Get paid to post.

I was enthusiastically browsing a forum for bloggers a few minutes ago when I learnt about a new get paid to post website. It offers bloggers an opportunity to earn a few extra dollars a month by taking up various assignments.

The assignments include a post in your blog or a post in forum. There is no need to submit your blog and wait anxiously for it to get approved.

Advertisers also stand to get benefited by participating in this program to spread the word about their products or services.

I read that there is a lot of buzz about this website in the Internet. Another forum post I read somewhere says that the response among the advertisers is tremendous.

I wish the advertisers get an increase in their sales.

Want to earn by blogging?

Three days before, I found another paid to blog opportunity accidentally. I think I read a banner on a blog that I don't remember.

Bloggers Review is a new kid on the field of hiring bloggers and matching their services with the advertisers who are looking for exposure of their website through blogs.

I registered, submitted one of my blogs and they approved it in a day.

Yesterday I logged in and was shocked to find that my login details are wrong. The next page after that also showed another facility to key in the login info. I obliged and it also accepted me in.
A bug that is not yet detected.

I see there are two opportunities but for both of them, it says my blog is not eligible.Hmmm..., ok, let me take it in my stride.

In the members area, there is a tab 'My Blogs' which when clicked won't show my approved blogs. I again had to click on 'Edit blog' to see my approved blog. A clear confusion in the navigation.

They have a page dedicated to tips on avoiding a drop in page rank. I am sorry I found nothing useful there.

Earn with LinkXL.

LinkXL-I suppose the XL stands for extra large (income)?(smile)

Surely Technorati is churning out great blog posts in its feeds. No wonder it has millions of blogs in its database.

The feed title was 'Adsense Alternatives' and that prompted me to open the link. Not that the title is new to me but I expect to find something new in it always. I am not disappointed.

I found out about LinkXL, which can be considered as an alternative to Google AdSense, is a contextual advertising program. LinkXL is automated and allows advertisers the ability to place text links anytime.

So what special?
LinkXL's specialities are a few but worth looking at it. If you are open minded, you will read further. The offer them is convert hitherto unlinked words to hyperlinks and you are paid for that.

Do you understand? Create natural links in content so they will nor look like sponsored links. Also, by this way, you can monetize every page- not just sidebars or footers. That throws up great earning potential.

Blog TV pays bloggers.

Internet marketing continues to evolve beyond imagination and new and innovative marketing ideas are introduced every now and then.

If the number of Internet users increase by another 50%, then I foresee a decline in traditional offline advertising. Even Forbes has entered the fray and started roping in the web publishers. I too have registered with them and got their approval.

Nautanki TV allows us to show their channels and shares with us 15% of their advertising revenue. I have seen a few sample shows and I say their audio and video quality is superb really.

There are about 7 different channels right now. This program is only for Indians I believe because they mentioned paying in INR.
