If you are looking for a way to earn money from the Web and love to write, then consider starting a blog. Blogs have become an important online medium, with some bloggers attaining huge success and earning good money from their online writings.
There are a number of ways you can earn money from a blog. Note though, that earning money will not be easy and will not come quick, as you will have to first build your audience, establish your credibility and prove that your blog is worth reading.

The article covers primarily the advertising route to earning money from your blog.
You can post ads – whether by
impression, per click or per action – in your blog and you get paid
accordingly.
Some advertisers will compensate you for every 1,000 views of
their ad. Some are cost per click, where you earn money when a visitor
clicks on an ad. Others will pay you only when you give them a sale
or a lead.
However, here are few ways you can
earn from your blog with your skills you project:
1. Get paid to write.
One way to earn money by blogging is
through pay per post programs, where you write about a company’s products or
services and you get paid for the post. For some programs, you can set the
price you are willing to accept per post, even set a price per word as well as
a price per link. Depending on your traffic and topic, some pay per posts can
earn you as little as $10 per post or as high as $1,000.
Check the requirements of these pay
per post programs. Some will require you to disclose that the blog post is a
paid post. Others will allow you to freely write whatever you want as long as
you include the advertiser’s link in your post. Others will require you to
write a post based on the advertiser’s press release or marketing materials.
Be careful though.
While pay per
post can be very profitable – it is not uncommon for some bloggers to earn $100 a day — many frown on pay per post programs. Your own visitors may be turned
off when you sing praises for a product or service because they paid you to
write favorably for them. Search engines also frown on these programs, with the
possibility that your blog may be penalized and page rank stripped.
2. Become a Freelance Blogger.
There are companies, including
non-profit organizations, which want to start a blog but have limited manpower
to maintain the blog, write its content and even market the blog. Hence, they
look for freelance bloggers who can write for them.
You will need to prove that you are
adept at blogging with a creative writing style and solid grammar. You will be
asked to submit samples of your blog posts to see if it matches the style and
tone of the blog.
Go to sites to look for jobs
hiring freelance bloggers.
