Making Money From Blogs
01/31/2005
Washington Post is running an article on how to make money off of blogs. You've probably seen most before but here's the list:
-Google AdSense ads on your blog
-Include blog ads such as Blogads or Pheedo. Watch this space as it becomes more competitive. The New Jane targets blogs targeted to women.
-Affilate programs such as selling amazon.com books.
-Pass the hat. Some bloggers are asking for donations send money via PlayPal
-Sell your wares. Or create some new ones like Blogcritic 's stuff.
Sidebar - if you consider your blog to be a marketing or business related blog, review how a model that includes ads of any type supports your strategic goals, objects and of course brand. A few shekels might hurt your credibility and errode the positioning you've worked so hard to acheive. On the other hand, if the items that you promote add value for your target audience it might be a way to pay your hosting fees.
