One of the most popular articles on The Idea Hunters.net is an article I wrote in the summer of 2013 about how to make money writing for freelance blogging websites.

Judging by the sheer volume of the number of hits that post receives and the Web traffic it generates on a daily basis, it is safe to say that many people are interested in making money online with blogging.

That’s why I wrote another article about blogging and how to make money from your blog, entitled:

5 proven techniques to increase Web traffic and make money from your blog that you should’ve tried, like “yesterdoodles”!

 

5. Use your blog to sell your product online.

This is a very common method for making money from your blogs. The myriad of opportunities for awesome blog content are endless.

Your blog can feature tried-and-true known heavy traffic spikers including:

Your blog will help your business make more money by offering useful content that your customers are Web searching when they are making a buying decision.

 

4. Post affiliate marketing links on your blog and earn a commission on sales.

Affiliate marketing is basically using your blog to promote traffic and sales to another website.

When you direct sales to a website via affiliate links posted on your blog, you earn a commission percentage from the sale.

Consider it your “finder’s fee” for directing business to the site.

Not bad a bad way to earn some coin using just words and links typed on your keyboard from the convenience of your own home!

The Idea Hunters.net features a number of revenue-producing affiliate marketing income streams.

The most well-known and popular amongst bloggers doing affiliate marketing is Amazon.com’s popular Amazon Associates affiliate marketing program.

Here’s an example of an Amazon Associates affiliate link:

You can use affiliate marketing on your blog to generate “passive income”, which is income you are earning without actively doing anything (besides writing useful blog posts).

With the opportunity to make potentially tens of thousands of dollars online with affiliate marketing sales makes affiliate marketing an easy thing to get set up on your blog, but that’s where the easy ends and the hard begins.

You will need to be on your Grind and generating useful and meaningful content for your blog’s readers pretty much on the daily if you want to see much if any sort of income from affiliate marketing.

If you want something worthwhile in life, then you put in work for it, homie.

And that’s just how The Game is played.

 

3. Create an audience-based business with your blog.

Another potentially lucrative and popular way make money from your blog is by creating an audience-based business.

This is where you charge a fee for subscribers to get access to exclusive content, such as a class you will teach via Skype or an eBook only available to paying customers.

This model is also very popular but will require a lot of hustle and setup to make your audience-based business a rip-roaring success.

To learn more about how to create a successful audience-based business, then check out Danny Iny’s “Audience Business Masterclass“.

I have not taken this Masterclass course myself, however I’ve been a Danny “The Freddy Krueger of Blogging” Iny fan for quite sometime and I’m a graduate of his first-ever Business Ignition Bootcamp.

I can honestly say without the shadow of a doubt that when it comes to the blogging game, Danny Iny is 2 legit 2 quit.

Danny Iny, creator of the infamous Write Like Freddy online blogging course, clearly knows what he’s talking about when it comes to creating a highly successful online business.

And while we’re on the topic of all things 2 legit 2 quit, do yourself a flavor and check out the long-version (almost 15 minutes in length) of MC Hammer’s 2 Legit 2 Quit video starring Jim Belushi and a boatload of old school hip hop artists from the OG days of hip hop.

Know your history, son and peep this:

 

2. Sell your blog to another company.

Since blogs take a lot of time, effort, and commitment, then it makes sense to make your blog about something meaningful and important in your life, such as cooking or how to start a business.

As you continue creating awesome content and telling amazing stories from this important facet of your life, then you may create a large community of loyal readers, email list subscribers, and customers.

Once you reach this level of popularity, then a company may be interested in purchasing your blog, content, and subscriber list.

  1. There are many ways to make extra money in your free time, but there are very few that are as easy as filling out a couple surveys. A few hundred dollars a day can easily be earned just with the click of the mouse because your opinion counts.

    Paid survey companies work with major corporations to organize and provide opinions from everyday consumers. As a result of your valuable feedback, you can earn quick money. Some questions are multiple choice, while others may require some writing. Either way, it is entirely possible with the right survey program to earn and extra $200 a day.

    This is not difficult work. If you have a job with a computer, you can quickly complete a few surveys during your lunch break. If you don’t mind having a laptop in front of you while you unwind and watch TV at night, filling out a survey or two can be done between commercials.

    Pay ranges from anywhere to $5 – $50 a survey, which is typically determined on the length of time it takes you to complete the questionnaire. Once you get bored with those, there are options to get paid to watch movie trailers, and some times you can have a little fun by getting paid to test drive cars.

    As long as you are at least 18 years old, anyone can start making money by filling out surveys right away. It’s a great way to put extra cash in your pocket and cover basic living expenses. After all, who wouldn’t want a couple hundred dollars a day just for giving their opinion?

    See if you qualify to join the highest paying surveys program available. Only a limited number of people will be accepted to work with the biggest brand names that pay top dollar. Get your chance to earn hundreds of dollars with paid survey review.

  2. Many people want to make money at home and they want to find a work at home job to do it with. Ultimately what happens is they become frustrated as they search from website to website looking for the right job. This brings up the question, why are work at home jobs so hard to find? In this article we will take an honest look at this problem.

    1. First of all you should know that most of the opportunities to work at home are not actually paid jobs. This is true because most employers do not know you and have no control over the work environment when you do it from the comfort of your own home.

    If you realistically think about this, why would someone pay you an hourly rate when they do not know if you are really working or not? Therefore many of the opportunities to work at home are actually in the form of business opportunities where you work for yourself.

    2. There really are some companies looking for people to work from home. This phenomenon is known as telecommuting and does provide an opportunity for people with legitimate skills to get paid working from home.

    This benefits both the company and the worker because the business does not need to provide a space for you to work from, and as an employee you do not have to get up and drive to work every day.

    Many companies now will offer work at home jobs that include an hourly rate and benefits. These benefits can include paid vacation, retirement plan, and health insurance.

    One such website or you can visit is Tjobs.com. They match employers looking for workers with employees who are looking for opportunities to telecommute. This works out very well for people who have skills such as sales, customer service, website design, and other categories.

    3. Another thing I want to talk about is websites that present themselves as work at home jobs doing data entry, taking paid surveys, and typing at home. Generally these websites are trying to sell you information on how to get involved in this type of work.

    There are companies who will pay you for your opinion, or to do data entry and typing. The websites that are selling you the information deserve to be paid because they have taken the time to develop a list of companies for you to contact.

    In the future work at home jobs will become more readily available. Until that point you need to be conscious and only deal with reputable companies before spending any of your hard earned money.
