More tips to earn

(1) Sell Your Knowledge
If you routinely blog on a particular topic, you position yourself as an expert. Truly knowing what you’re talking about on a subject others care about is an asset. You can publish
your work in the form of an e-book or course. By spreading your knowledge, and your blog positioning you as an expert, you can make some money.
(2) Work with a Blog Network
The idea behind a blog network is to create a large network of bloggers, allow the bloggers to post, then sell ads on the network and make some money for all involved. From the blogger’s perspective, you would earn money from advertising sold on your blog. The type of payment model is dependent on the network. Creative Weblogging is one such network who pays the blogger $10 for every 1,000 page views their blog generates.
(3) Raise Your Reputation
This one is a bit indirect, but still applicable. Blogs serve to raise your reputation as an expert in the field on which you are posting. The benefits to this are many. If you are running a related business already, a blog on your subject matter can position you as an expert and thus earn you business. Also, being positioned as an expert will gain you mini-celebrity status in that arena. It can earn you writing positions with non-blog publications. It can even lead into consulting work or public speaking on your area of expertise. There are people who now make very good money per hour doing consulting work on an area they themselves learned about through the course of blogging on it. They were not trained in that field beforehand. But, through blogging, they themselves become quite expert in the field while also becoming known to others as an expert.
(4) Donations
Some view this as a form of begging or handout, but it really isn’t. If you are providing useful information to a wide audience, many in that audience will see the benefit in helping you financially to keep it going. Trust me, after awhile you will develop your own fan base. Simply ask them to support you and use Paypal or some other similar payment collection medium to collect donations. I would not, however, encourage this as a form of quick fundraising to buy a car or some other personal desire. This kind of revenue only works if you have a large and loyal following. Otherwise, it likely won’t be that successful.
(5) Flipping
Lastly, we have the idea of selling the blog. Now, the sale of any website will gain you some money if the site appraises well to potential buyers. But, just like in real estate where one can flip a house to make money, the same can be done with websites. Obviously, its harder to do with a website because while everyone needs a home, not everyone is willing to buy a website. However, by running the blog effectively and gaining a following, it has a value and could be sold.
I’ve touched on some ways to make money on a blog. Many of them apply to non-blog sites as well, and the list I’ve provided is certainly limited. The ways to make money online are only limited by imagination and demand.
