After you have marketed your blog, the next step is to monetize your blog!

How do you monetize your blog?

There are several ways in which you can make money from your blog, and here are just a few ways:

1. Selling advertisements - When your site starts to draws eyeballs, it is time to offer advertisement space out to interested parties to put their advertisements on your site. Whether it is a banner, graphic or text link, people out there will be interested to have a piece of your traffic!
2. Using Google’s AdSense - or other pay per click engines. If you are lazy to manage your own advertisements, just sign up for a Google Adsense account and use the code provided by Google. When people click on the ads on your site, you get paid. Simple as that.
3. Affiliate Programs - Search through ClickBank.com for a suitable affiliate program to sell, and get paid when you make a sale.

Al of these three schemes can make you enough money to live on blogging, when you have enough traffic!

So, are you ready to start blogging?
