How Does a Blog Make Money Online?

By Kevin T Hope

There are two main business models that online entrepreneurs use to make money with blogs. The first and most common way to develop revenue from a blog is to advertise products and brands that are related to the subject of the blog.

The second kind of money making blog helps a single brand develop a web presence by presenting a positive view of the brand to the blogs readers. Both kinds of blogs can make a lot of money, especially if the creator has a good marketing strategy.

If you are blogging with the idea of selling advertising in your niche, there are a few ways you can look for prospective advertisers; you can let someone else do all of the legwork, or you can do the work yourself. Google AdSense is a popular example of the first method. There are a lot of advantages to the AdSense program, as it requires very little effort on the part of the blogger to begin making a profit. However, most people discover that this brings in less money than they had hoped that their blog would earn.

Selling advertising directly to companies who want to put banner ads or sponsored links on your blog can take quite a bit of effort, but it can be pretty lucrative. If you are well connected in your niche, this may be worth trying. It's easier if you have a background in sales.

The biggest problem with this model is that you generally won't attract paying advertisers until you develop a big reader base, which can mean that you have to do several months of work before you start to make money blogging. As blogging becomes more lucrative, a lot of established companies are looking for ways to how develop an online presence. A lot of times, a company will hire an experienced blogger to blog specifically about the companies brand, products, and culture.
