So you’ve read the blog and are now starting to look on how you can get your own piece of the pie? Look no further, you’ve come to the right place! The basic items you will need to start your own cash flow generator is a web host, domain name and the blogging software, WordPress.

Once you are ready to monetize your site, below are a list of available paths to generating revenue:

  • Sell Text Link Ads. There’s a huge demand from advertisers to get a spot on your blog. Depending on how hot your blog is, you can make anywhere from $10 to $500 per month by adding a simple text link to your sidebar! You receive 50% of the sale price for each text link ad sold off your website through our system. Any referred traffic that results in a new paid client or new publisher will earn you $25.00 immediately. Your link price is set by Text Link Ads and is based on ranks from Alexa, Google, etc. The minimum payment to be sent out via check is $25. There is no minimum for PayPal payments.
  • Sign Up for Google Adsense. AdSense for content automatically crawls the content of your pages and delivers ads (you can choose both text or image ads) that are relevant to your audience and your site content—ads so well-matched, in fact, that your readers will actually find them useful. When people search the web site from your site, the search results pages show up with ads. And you get paid when people click on these ads. There is a $100 minimum for earnings.
  • Bidvertiser. Similarly to Google’s Adsense, Bidvertiser pumps out relevant ads for your website and earns you money on a Cost-Per-Click (CPC) basis. The main advantage over Adsense comes from the payout level where only a minimum $10 is required for you to get paid.
  • Get paid for posting. You’re a blogger so your expertise is posting anything and everything about your niche topic. Thus, why not start to get paid for your posts? Pay Per Post is a well known company in the blogosphere and thousands of bloggers earn some good cash with them each month. You can easily make $500 a month or more! Sign up now and they will give you $20 for your first post!
  • AuctionAds. These guys are associated with eBay (an affiliate) and display live relevant eBay Auctions that will boost your click-through rates and generate more money. Another plus is that AuctionAds are not contextually based ad products and are compatible with all other ad systems. When your site’s visitors click on an Auction Ad listing and take an action on eBay you earn cash. Actions are defined as a Winning Bid, a Buy-it-Now or a confirmed user registration. AuctionAds is committed to paying out a minimum of 100% of eBay commission revenue. There is a $50 minimum for earnings.
  • Kontera ContentLink. This program allows you to make money from advertising without giving up any current advertising spots as their technology simply crawls your posts and spits out relevant ads. The highlighted words are double underlined and an ad pops up when you hover of the link.
  • Commission Junction. As a Commission Junction Affiliate, you have access to the largest Affiliate Program Network online which allows you to displays ads from big name companies such as Apple, Dell, Travelocity, etc. A publisher displays an advertiser’s ads, text links, or product links on their Web site, in e-mail campaigns, or in search listings. The publisher is paid a commission by the respective advertiser when a visitor takes a specific action such as filling out a form, subscribing to a service (both lead examples) or making a purchase (a sale). There is a $25 minimum for earnings.
  • Do paid reviews. Plenty of bloggers are trying to get some buzz going for their own site, they’ll pay you to write a review about their blog! Review prices will be based on your blog’s Technorati, Alex, etc. Reviews can be either positive or negative and must be at least 200 words long. Also, you can get $25.00 for every new advertiser you refer to ReviewMe who purchases a review that makes it to completion!

Other Potential Money Makers:

  • AGLOCO. This startup company offers a browser toolbar (Viewbar) that displays advertising and while you run this toolbar, you will get a cut of the overall ad money for a specified maximum amount of hours of usage. Also, you can refer other people to use the toolbar with the more people you help refer, the bigger the potential profit you can make. If you remember the days of AllAdvantage, this concept is pretty much a re-hash as several ex-members have banded to form AGLOCO (“A Global Community”). You do not need a blog/website and anyone can download the toolbar to make money.
