Earn Money From Blogging.

So in my last post I let you know about squidoo but there are actually a few other strategies that I am using to start getting my online income happening. One of those is Blogs of which you can actually get income from in a few different ways. There are a lot of good blogging sites such as Blogger, Wordpress and others, I like to use Blogger as it is connected directly to google+ and all my other google based accounts such as youtube and adsense.

One of those ways is to promote your squidoo pages. For example if you happen to have a few squidoo lenses about fishing equipment you could start a daily or weekly blog about your fishing adventures and what you used on each fishing trip and then post a link to one of your particular squidoo page that is promoting a piece of equipment that you used.

If you would like to see examples of this I have a few toy lenses and I occasionally talk about them on
my Adam's Babies Toys blog.

See right there ^^^ I have actually promoted one of my other blogs, But if you head over and have  a look you can see how I have embedded the links into the text of my blog of a few toy lenses.

Another way you can earn money from your blogs is to monetize them through adsense. If you enable adsense adds on your blogs, then adsense will post adds and you can earn money every time these advert links are clicked through. Adsense income starts off relatively low but as you build more and more posts and also use adsense on youtube and other platforms you can start to build up a fair bit of adsense income.

The other method of making income from blogs is to review and promote products such as on my toy blog. Most of the pictures that I have placed into that blog are clickable links that will take you to the amazon page where you can buy that particular toy. You can also add posters to make nice photos which are also clickable and that gives the option for people to buy that particular photo as a poster. You can see examples of these posters at my other blog Science For Kids which has quite a few posters as image links. If you want to see some more examples of adds from Amazon then you can have a look at Polymer Clay Tutorials.

These are the main and best ways that you can add an income source from you blog. A few quick tips on blogging.

- keep a schedule on blog posts, your followers will expect and look forward to each subsequent post and if you forget they will be disappointed.

- Always try and make a post every couple of days or once a week if you are aiming for a weekly blog. But again remember to stick to it otherwise your traffic and your blogs effectiveness will dwindle away.

- Be friendly and engage your audience with questions and answers.

- Always keep it real and exciting for your viewers, make it about them and help them to relate to what you have to say. Give advice and on how to subjects and remember if you can give great information and advice to your audience they are more likely to stick around.
