Blogging pays. That's true! Some of the blogs like The Huffington Post, Mashable, Tech Crunch, Life Hacker and so many more are literally turning over hundreds of thousands of millions a month. Yes, you read that right...millions a month! You could too, one day, but before you start building your palaces on Mars, let's come back to Earth.
Earning such serious amount of cash requires a lot of time, great writing skills, true dedication and excellent marketing skills. For starters, all this doesn't come easy.

The question is how do these blogs earn so well? It's all through:
- Advertising banners
- Pay per click
- Affiliate marketing
- Online membership programs
- Digital products and services
There are more ways but the ones above are the most popular of them all.
In this blog, I'll be focusing on the easiest way to make money. That's through advertising.
First Things First
The first step towards earning money through your blog, is, you guessed it, to create a blog of your own. If you haven't done it already yet, now is the time. Create a blog. A blog is great way to start your writing practice as well as express your thoughts. Once your blog is up and running, you can start getting paid from your blog in a myriad of ways.
The Best Way to Get Started
As you have just started with your blog, we will talk about the simplest and easiest of all monetization
techniques through blogging: Advertising.
How to Advertise on Your Blog
If you choose to run Ads on your blog, companies get to market their products or services by targeting the readers of your blog. Each time one of those readers clicks on an Ad, you get paid. It's that simple!
Now, if you are wondering how you would approach companies and ask them to advertise on your blog, stop worrying! That would be way too much work. You certainly do not want to do that specially when you have already got so much on your plate. So what do you do? All you have to do is pick a program or tool to do it all for you. As I am a big supporter of Google and Android products, I personally use Google Adsense. That's what I would recommend you too.
Everyone knows Google is HUUUGE! With its vast connections with millions of companies around the globe, Google Adsense program can find the most suitable Ads relevant to your content and place it on your blog. It is simple, reliable, easy and most of all FREE to use. Sign up here to get started.
Google Adsense offers you with two options to get paid:
- Check
- Direct deposit
Is the Earning Good Enough?
Well, for starters, not quite so, but it is easy to build it up. You get a few cents per click only. The rate varies a lot. Write great content and attract more audience to your blog and you'll be given a higher pay per click rate. Let us assume 1 in 100 of those people reading your blogs will click on an Ad, you will get 10 clicks for 1000 visitors and 100 clicks for 10,000 visitors. Keep those readers coming and you'll start generating a steady stream of income for yourself in a short time.
However, you must remember that the key to earning more is to dedicate your time and energy to generate informative content that people would love reading. The more the readers, the higher your earning will be. Over the time it will grow. Just keep offering quality content to your readers.
In my next blog, I'll be discussing how you can make money through affiliate marketing on your blog. In the meanwhile, if you have any questions about setting up your blog or signing up for Google Adsense , just ask them in the comments section below. I will be happy to answer them for you.
