Making Money From Your Blog

Updated: April 5, 2023

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 – I have been paid from these sites:

ValuedVoice – Paid posts and social media opportunities. (Paid when account balance reaches $100 via Paypal but you can cash out at any amount for a $5.00 fee)

Izea (formerly Social Spark) – Bid on opportunities to post on blog/social media. (Paid when account balance reaches $50 via Paypal but you can cash out at any amount for a $2.00 fee)

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)

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)

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)

Amazon.com – Affiliate (Paid via direct deposit or Amazon Gift cards once you reach $10)(Sign up at bottom of page where it says Become an Affiliate under Make Money with Us)(I make about $10 a month but I don’t try or push affiliate listings.)

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

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

Collaborator – Post writing and selling (No minimum to cashout)

Let me know your experiences with any of these companies or if I don’t have a company listed that I should!
