5 Ways to Start Earning From Your Blog Make Money From Blogging

By Francisco Rodriguez

The number one question going though thousands of minds - How to make money from home online? A very profitable and easy way is affiliate marketing, described below. One of the best ways to make money from home online is Internet Marketing. Because the Internet is enormous there are dozens of different ways to make money online. Affiliate Marketing is one avenue within Internet Marketing.

Become an affiliate and add banners to make money from your blog. One of the easiest ways to start earning from your blog is to join an affiliate program and add some banners to your blog. The best converting banners will be those that closely match your blogs topic. You should only place a few banners in optimal places on your blog, don't overdo it as this will turn your readers off. You can find affiliate programs in your niche by typing 'niche name' + 'affiliate program' in a search engine; this will look like this for the dog behavior niche - 'dog behavior affiliate program'.

Now Clickbank allows individuals to join as an affiliate, which by the way is free to join. From there you can choose over thousands of products to promote online. Once you have a product you then take a special link and post it pretty much anywhere on the Internet. By anywhere I'm referring to forums, chat rooms, blogs, emails, and your own websites. The list goes on and on.

If you have a script that's fine, but if you do not have then get one. There are open source scripts like PHPMultishop, MyMarket, Zen Cart, osCommerce, etc which are very famous and user friendly. You need not be a technical expert to work with these scripts and you can just concentrate on your actual business. Within these scripts, everything that is necessary is done for you and you only need to add products for the site. The other most important thing is that your website needs to be user-friendly and should have a professional look.

Offer the popular payment methods on your site like Paypal, 2Checkout, etc. You should not loose customers only because they do not find a method applicable for them to purchase.

Tip: Probably this tip will be useful for you, provide abundant information (with pictures and description) about the product in a separate page and link it to the product while it is displaced in the list of products. Also provide the price of the product clearly with the description itself, I have observed some people displaying the price only on the order page. This is not a good idea, because serious customers want to know the price before they make a purchase. Most of the people do not tend to click on the order page until they know the price and you cannot effort to loose the customers.
