Many bloggers write blogs to just share their opinions on their chosen topic. But the business-minded folks have obviously found out a way to use their Web logs, for bringing in extra cash as well. You can boost your income while blogging regularly. So if you are interested in taking a step further — blogging for bucks — I am listing these five strategies that could turn your blog into a moneymaker.

• Sell Advertising.Selling advertising is probably one of the most common means of leveraging your blog to generate income. You can always sell your own space in case yours happens to develop into a well-known blog, or one that is well-received in a particular niche. Even lesser-known blogs have equal chances. They can employ the services of Google's AdSense or BlogAds, which enable bloggers to establish ad programs.
   

• Assist Selling Others' Products. This is another simple click-through opportunity. Your blog can serve as a conduit between readers and online sites, offering various goods and services, by various Affiliate programs. Many sites sell products or subscription programs online. You can assist them in selling their products or subscription services to your fan-following. So each time any of your recommended followers makes a sale, you also hit the cash machine.

I also run an array of affiliate programs on my blogs, and they do bring in significant amounts of cash. The best thing I find about these programs is that being of high quality, they sell themselves. (I am continuously receiving emails from my readers, who sign up with these programs, to thank me for the recommendation!)

• The Blog-as-Branding Route: This method works well if you plan to have or are presently having your own an online business or provide some freelance service including web design, copy writing or marketing consultation. You can use your blog for promoting your personal or business brand, while also attracting more customers.

Being an indirect method of making money,you need to take certain precautions. Do not plaster this sort of blog with ads or paid reviews, as it would possibly tarnish the image of the brand.

• Sell EBooks: Another trick is to prepare ebooks. Choose a most-searched for topic, collect required information about it, and compile your report in the form of an ebook. I have myself developed ebooks and sold them online. An effort consuming task, but you won’t repent having spent time,seeing the returns and long term gains. This is an income stream which you shall see growing over a period of time. The income streams would certainly add up and some months would be your biggest category of income.
  


• Amazon Affiliate Programs: These programs have been one of the biggest hits in the last few years.Initially, I just made a few odd dollars from it – however in recent times it has become a major income generator for me.Christmas time (and the lead up to it) is a particularly good time for Amazon. Say for example, you offer book reviews or even just mention a book in passing in your blog, an affiliate program offers a pathway for your readers to click directly from your blog to Amazon to obtain further information about the book.Just in case they break out the checkbook or charge card, you pretty well get paid.

The list does not end here. There are pretty more methods of making money online. These are just a few of my top money makers. There are several strategies you can choose if you want to make money from blogs. Your task is to experiment with these methods and develop a better grasp of how blogs work or you can zero in on a strategy that appeals to you the most. Irrespective o your chosen path, you must make a note that success comes only when one is willing to invest time and effort. You just must not be working as blogger but constantly learning how to monetize or grow your blog in a better way.
