You know, ad copy on your blog doesn’t have to be stupid and boring. Monetizing a blog doesn’t have to mean buying into all malarky like “make thousands of dollars sitting on your ass with just one website”.
What it is is this:
If you blog because you’re a writer (or an artist) and you enjoy blogging… write an ad every once in a while to pay your server fees. Or for your domain name. While $10 for 100 words ain’t exactly scale, with a company like PayPerPost, I can do — literally — 300 words, make $30, and spend about 30 minutes doing it. That’s because I am a writer. It is my trade. My function. My passion.
If you don’t enjoy blogging, if you’re not a writer… odds are you’re blogging for bucks. If that’s true, learn about affiliate marketing, buy content, and get yourself into that stream of online money-making. Go to a real monetizing genius like Robert MacEwan at macewan.org [okay, he's my husband, but seriously, if your spouse owned a hardware store, you'd tell me to buy my nuts and bolts there]
But for me, writing is like eating and sleeping. I gotta’ do it. So I write 100 words now and then and get some money.
You ought to try it. PayPerPost is pretty easy. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but you’ll catch on. It takes time to get the ad opportunity, your blog needs to have a Google rank… if ya’ll want me to write more about such things, drop me a line at vmac at macewan dotdot net. I’ll put more pages up here about ads.
Meanwhile, if you sign up here for PayPerPost, I make a few bucks. Not many… but I’d appreciate it. Sign up on right sidebar. I’ll post the code into this page soon, right now I’ve got to write an ad about a Quilting magazine.
