How to Make Money Blogging (PT.1); Affiliate Companies, Ad Space, & Content Creation Sites

Making money with our blogs is something a lot of us hope to do in some point in our blogging career.  There are actually many different ways to make money blogging with affiliate companies, ad space, and content creation sites.

With affiliate companies, most of them use ads and links through your blog that your readers can click on.  For each click, it generates revenue that you will be paid out for.  The one we use is Google Adsense.  They create ads based off of your blog's content and place them on your site.  We've been using them for a while, and it can't take a while to generate revenue.  But once you start growing your blog, your revenue will grow as well.  Here is a list of other affiliate sites for bloggers:

1. LinkShare
2. Commission Junction
3. ShareSale
4. Amazon Associates
5. PeerFly
6. ClixGalore
7. ClickBank
8. MaxBounty
9. NeverBlue

Another great way to earn money from your blog is through ad space.  Companies and other bloggers definitely use this tool to help market their brand, and you can earn some extra spending money if you set reasonable prices.  We currently use Passionfruit Ads, and I love them.  First and foremost they are inexpensive, only $9 a month and the first month is free.  They never take money from what you make, and they make it so easy to set everything up.  Here are some more ad space sites to check out:

1. Ad Media
2. Burst Media
3. Sovrn
4. Blog Ads

Finally, another way to earn money is to be a content creator.  Being a content creator means you would be creating original content for companies for major corporations that they work with.  You have the opportunity to earn some major cash!  Check out these content creation sites, and if you meet the guidelines sign up!
