Blog Your Way To Big Bucks

Blogging is the norm on the Internet world. It's like the new black in fashion. People blog about everything and anything they can think of. You'd be surprise at how much traffic a blog site can have. It has become one of the most powerful tool you can use.

So you have a blog and you spend a few hours everyday to update. Hasn't it occurred to you that you can earn money simply by blogging?

Earning money through your blog is easy but may not be as fast as being a freelance writer. You need to have great blog traffic for you to earn. Here's how it works.



If you have a self-hosted blog, the first thing you need to do is to sign up for Google Adsense or Yahoo Publisher! Network (YPN). Wait for blog to be reviewed. After your application is approved, you can now set up your blog and put Google's or Yahoo's ad codes on your site.

If your blog is hosted on any of the free blogging platforms available, check if your the website allows you to put ad codes on your blog. Blogger.com is integrated with Google so you can easily put Google ads on your blog by simply signing up for an Adsense account. Wordpress.com won't allow you to use ad codes on your website but they have what they call an Ad Control feature that will allow you to use Adsense on your blog if your traffic is at least 25,000 per month.


Pay-Per-Click Ads (PPC)
You generate income through PPC ads. You get a point for every click a visitor makes on any of the ads posted on your blog. More points mean more money.


Google and Yahoo may have different rules governing their ad programs. Make sure you understand these rules very well so you know what to do to earn more from your blog. Happy blogging!
