6 ways to make money with advertising

There are many ways to make money blogging. Here are some of the ways to make money with advertising on your blog.

• Pay per click advertising
• Sell your own advertising on your blog
• Sell text links on your blog
• CPM ad networks
• Pop-ups
• Paid reviews

1. Pay per click advertising

Pay-Per-Click ads, also known as Cost Per Click or CPC, is one of the most common models of internet advertising. It simply means an advertiser will pay you once someone clicks on their ad.

2. Sell ads on your blog

If you’re already getting a decent traffic, you may want to take things in your control and sell direct ads on your website. All you need is an “Advertise with us” page on your blog listing out the different formats of ads available and how much it costs per month. Make sure to mention your Alexa rank, Google PageRank, and other traffic stats for buyers to know.

But if you want to save yourself the hassle of selling, you can use the following third-party alternatives to sell ads on your blog:

3. Sell text links on your blog

If you get good organic traffic on your blog, you can try text-link ads where you link a piece of text on your site to another page on a different site.

4. “Cost per Click” ad networks

So far we’ve been looking at mostly CPC (Cost Per Click) model for ads. CPC means the advertiser pays you when someone clicks through their ads. An alternative to this is CPM (Cost per Thousand) where you are paid for every 1,000 ad impressions served.

With CPC, your income can vary hugely but that isn’t the case with CPM. 

5. Pop-ups

Granted, many advertisers and bloggers dislike popup ads but it’s still an option. You can display these ads as pop-ups or pop-unders

6. Paid reviews

You can make some good money by publishing reviews on various products and services that you trust. The best thing about this arrangement is you command a price per review.
