Blogs & Its earning

A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people. People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger at blogger.com. Thousands of people use services such as Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing process. Blogs are alternatively called web logs or weblogs. However, "blog" seems less likely to cause confusion, as "web log" can also mean a server's log files.

These are the few ways by which you all can earn money through blog :

1. Make Money Through Google Adsense

This is by far the easiest method to start earning from your blog. Google’s adsense gives you access to their huge network of advertisers through which you can display advertisements that are relevant to your blog’s audience. You earn whenever someone views and clicks your ads. More visitors to your blog will mean high earnings and clickthrough rates. Ensure that you setup adsense ads for your feeds as well, google provides this option once you sign-in to your dashboard.

2. Selling Private Advertising Space

This is another method for earning from your blog where you reserve certain spaces on your site for advertisers to place their banner or text ads. This way you specify your rates which are usually paid on a monthly basis. The cost of these ads will depend on your site’s popularity.

You can have as many as 8 advertising spots on your site without it being too intrusive for your readers. Each could bring you and average of $12 per month which means about $96 per month. You can find advertisers through the Buy Sell Ads network.

3. Accept Donations Through This Awesome Widget

Depending on what your blog focuses on you can accept monetary contributions paid directly to your paypal account through the ChipIn Widget. This is a flash based web service that simplifies the process of collecting money using a neat little widget to catch your visitors’ attention as seen in the setup example below.

4. Write For Other Paying Blogs

There are lots of opportunities for bloggers who are willing to write for blogging networks or other individuals and businesses who may need your help. These sites pay from $5 per blog post up to even $100 per post depending on the popularity of the blog and quality of content you will be required to produce.

Triond is one of the more popular get paid to write articles site like Associate Content. Like other get paid to write websites, Triond also pay members according to how the articles that was submitted perform in terms of page views. Page views is when an Internet users clicked and got into your article page. Typically, the amount that the particular member will get would depends on how many page views the articles can attract from the Internet. In short, Triond is a revenue sharing program.

Unlike other get paid to write sites, Triond is very particular about originality, that is the articles submitted must not be posted somewhere else. Another factor to note is that the articles submitted must not be grammatically challenged. You really need to proof-read your work before submitting them.

One thing about Triond that I have learnt most recently is that it does not have a minimum payment amount. Once I had about less than a dollar in my account and I was quite amazed that I was paid even so. The payment made by Triond will be processed through PayPal. Those of you who really likes to write should give this website a try and at the same time being rewarded accordingly. Unfortunately one minor drawback for Triond is that for those who are looking for affiliate program, Triond do not offer incentives for referrals.
