Most people would love to have an extra income or even fire the boss. By doing something as simple as writing a blog you could be making a little on the side or huge amounts of cash. Making money from the internet has never been easier. Here are 5.1 tips to help get you started.
1. When deciding to write a blog choose something you are passionate about. Writing about a hobby, project or personal experience will help you connect with your readers. Don't worry if you can make money from. I know of someone who has retired at 35 whose blog is on scrap booking!
2. If you want to make money from your blog the fastest way is to sign up to Affiliate Programs. Click bank and commission junction are popular. You may also wish to take a look at Amazon. Their program allows you to advertise books, dvd's, cameras the list goes on. Try writing a review of a book on one of your blogs and link it to amazon.

3. Adsense - Google have now made it possible to display pay per click advertising on your site. Each time someone clicks on an ad Google pays you a commission. This is a great way to quickly generate income from your site.
4. Subscriptions - if you have a following on your blog you may want to consider offering a monthly subscription. For a small fee your visitors get access to exclusive content. This is particularly relevant if you offer advice or tips. Create a weekly newsletter providing tips, advice and guidance on your particular subject.
5. Sell your site. A friend recently sold one site for $400,000 after only 6 months in operation. If you can build a strong following, users who are influenced by your sites content then, you have struck gold. This strategy works particularly well when you focus on a niche. If you can localize your niche this can potentially be worth more. For example you might create a blog dedicated to photographers in London. Although you are limiting your pool of blog subscribers you have a far greater chance of engaging the user and therefore influencing them.
5.1 Banner ads. I met a guy last week who has an impressive site with 4000 subscribers in a high value niche. The site has been up two year and he is making no profit. When we discussed his strategy it was apparent why. He had no affiliate advertising, wasn't working his database and had outdated banner ads. With a few simple changes he is making $2000 per week through one affiliate program paying him for leads. You'll be amazed at how much some companies are willing to pay for leads. Credit card companies for example may offer $200 just for someone filling out an application form. this is a simple strategy that can generate thousands of dollars per month!
