Blogging to the Bank 3.0 Review

In today's economy many are looking for alternative ways of making money. Many want to know how to make money with blogs. There are different methods out there for doing that. I want to briefly go over a few ways this can be done.

Page Rank and Traffic

For any Internet business, search ranking is key. One of the important elements in determining your ranking is the authority your website possesses, one measure of which is the Google page rank. The Google home page has a ranking of 10, which is the highest possible. The Facebook and Microsoft home pages both have page ranks of 9. Other popular corporate websites have page ranks of 8. With that being said, if you can manage to get a page rank of 3 or 4 on your blog, you have established a respectable ranking and should already be getting a good deal of traffic. On the other hand, there are blogs and websites with lower page ranks that get a lot of traffic. At the end of the day, the key is to get traffic to your blog. Generally a high page rank shows you get a lot of traffic, but low page rank blogs can get a lot of traffic too. So there is no hard, fast rule for this. But the key is to get as many eyeballs as possible on your blog so you can direct them to the money magnets on your site.

Affilate marketing

There are tons of products and services out there that you can market through affiliate programs. No matter the market you are in, be it health and fitness, cell phones, child care, or any thing else you can think of, there are affiliate products you can promote. If you are reading this, you are interesting in blogging for money, and some of the most popular products for this include: Blogging to the Bank, Atomic Blogging 2.0, and Blogging For Profits. If you market affiliate products, whenever a visitor uses your webpage to reach the sales page of the of the advertiser and makes a purchase, you get a commission. This is also a very popular and relatively straightforward method that many make millions with. Many popular companies use affiliate programs to promote their products, including Amazon. Clickbank and Commission Junction are two of the best places to find affiliate products to promote in your niche of choice.

Selling Ad Space

If your blog eventually becomes an authority site and has a lot of traffic from visitors, you will now have leverage to negotiate selling ad space. This can be incredibly lucrative, and very hands off. You put an ad up, and get paid no matter if people click on it or not. You can't beat that for easy money.

Contextual advertising

One way is to put ads on your blog. The easiest way to do this is to sign up for Google Adsense. When you sign up for adsense ads will show up on your site based on the sites content. So if your blog is about permume, perfume ads will show up, for example. If people click on your ad, you get paid a certain amount of money. You can generally make anywhere from a few cents to a dollar, but the amount varies. Some people makes thousands, and even tens of thousands of dollars a month using Adsense alone. The key to making that happen, once again, is traffic. There are other advertising programs as well that one can use such as bidvertiser and Chitika, among others.

Sell Your Expertise

This will help establish you as an authority in your field and gain your new customers, as well as increase your legitimacy in the eyes of current customers because of your online presence. This ultimately results in a better reputation and increased revenue for you.
