Making Money From Your Blog

If you are a blogger, here are some websites that I have had some luck with! I know some of the minimum balances may seem high, but they do offer great campaigns that once you start using them, you would be surprised at how many of your readers will click them and some of these are even paid just for people visiting your website!  I am by far not an expert and nowhere near a millionaire, but every little bit helps?

My Favorites:

Social Spark – Write Posts for $5 and up. Average post for me is $30.
(Paid when account balance reaches $50 via Paypal but you can cash out at any amount for a $2.00 fee)

Logical Media – Great CPA network with exclusive campaigns and the highest payouts
(Paid when account balance reaches $100 via check)

MySavings Media – Promote brand name coupons, offers, & free product samples on your web site or blog.
(Paid when account balance reaches $100 via check)

Google Adsense- Your readers click ads on your website or homepage, but you can also receive money from Pageviews (I make anywhere from $15-$25 a month)
(Paid when account balance reaches $100 via Paypal)

Commission Junction – Affiliate website (mainly retail sites – but I like Walgreens and Upromise from here)
(Paid when account balance reaches $50 via Direct Deposit or $100 via check)

Escalate Network – Affiliate website of coupons, offers, and free samples
(Paid when account balance reaches $25 via Paypal)

Blogsvertise – Paid Posts.  They are assigned to you and you Accept/Decline them.  Average post for me is $25.
(Paid 30 days after post is posted via Paypal, regardless of amount – no minimums)

Shareasale – Affiliate website
(Paid when account balance reaches $50 via check or Direct Deposit)

Buy Sell Ads – You sell ad space on your site wherever you want and whatever size – you set price and are emailed when an ad is sold which you can approve or deny.  They take 25% commission.
(Cash out when balance reaches $50 and paid via Paypal – I do very well with them)

Sponsored Tweets – Tweet Messages
(Paid when account balance reaches $50 via check, PayPal – you can now cash out with any balance but there is a $2 fee for less than $50)

These are some that I haven’t cashed out yet from but am slowly earning:

LinkVehicle – Paid Posts
(Paid via Paypal every month and the minimum payout amount is $10.)

myLikes – Tweet Messages
(Paid when account balance reaches $2 every Friday via Paypal)

BuyBlogReviews - Paid Posts anywhere between $3 and $50 (You apply for different opportunities, there are tons)
(Paid every 2 weeks no minimum balance via Paypal)

Chitika – Turn Page Views into Money!  This is invisible unless someone searches your website.
(Paid when account balance reaches $10 via PayPal)

Panthera Network – Affiliate website
(Paid when account balance reaches $50 via Paypal)

Linkshare – Affiliate website
(Paid monthly via Check or Direct Deposit)

    Wide variety of CPA and Affiliate programs here, there are many others that I detail in my Make Money Online page on my site, but I don’t focus on affiliate and CPA networks due to the fact that you usually can’t use more than 1 on the same site without them competing with each other. Affiliates you can write a post about a product…etc, but CPA’s are really tough to combine on one site effectively.

    Hi,
    This is great help. Amazon is also an awesome affiliate to have because people are so familiar with it, usually already have accounts and so they trust it. You can tailor the items to your site’s theme because you can get anything on there!
    My difficulty with my site thus far is actually getting traffic so I’m not sure what works yet for me. I’ve been doing it a few months and am focusing on content but it takes awhile to get it all going so I’m having faith. I’d just really like to get it off the ground. Any advice for building traffic?! Thanks!

    • Cher says:

      I actually got mad at Amazon even though it’s not their fault, but in IL affiliates can no longer profit from Amazon thanks to a law passed. As far as traffic goes just comment on other blogs which they usually visit you then, host a giveaway for even a $10 gift card, tweet, join blog hops (you can google there are tons of free ones out there)

  13. jessica says:

    You’re absolutley right about that law with Amazon because it also applies to my state BUT my business was started and based out of another state because your business doesnt have to be your actual living location. I was thinking about doing a giveaway because so many sites do so that’s certainly on my do-to list! Thanks :)

    • Cher says:

      That is nice you have it out of another state! Before then without really promoting Amazon I was still making $20 a month, I could only imagine if I actively promoted it! When you post your giveaway, post it on all the giveaway linkies all over and online-sweepstakes, that really helps!

  14. jessica says:

    P.S
    And for those who are wondering about this Amazon law: The states that Amazon does not do affiliates with are because those states tax you on you on what you make and Amazon won’t support that so that’s why they don’t allow affiliates in those states. They suggest you write to your congressmen etc to change it and that’s actually worked for a few states so it’s a good idea to do it! :)

  15. Samantha says:

    I’ve always thought about blogging and have wanted to just not sure. And being a stay at home mom the money would help.

  16. Whittney says:

    This is helpful info…I’m using ShareaSale and in the process of adding Google Adsense, but I’ve been more concerned with getting my blog off the ground…now that its off, I’ll be adding to what I am doing.
