What do you do to monetize your blog (wordpress).

I'm using wordpress. what can i do to monetize it. And be aware that I'm a noob. i'm learning as I go.

 

You can try affiliate marketing, depending on the niche of your site. If you want a suggestion, I can recommend some affiliate programs to match your blog's niche.

Anyhow, good luck making money dude!

 

You could sell blog posts, link and banner space, affiliates and of course PPC (you will need adsense plugin though).

 

Web Site monetization falls into two broad categories: Advertising and Subscription payments.

Subscription payments are for high quality, specialized information.

Advertising falls into two broad categories: Pay per action and pay per time.

Pay per action includes:
1. Pay per click, such as google adwords.
2. Pay per view or impression.
3. Pay per lead. Where the user fills out a form and you get paid.
4. Pay per sale. This is your typical affilate program.

Pay per time is where an advertiser pays a monthly or weekly rate regardless of how many ads are displayed.

Your niche or target audience will determine which is the best way to monetize your site. The quickest and easiest is adwords, or one of it's competitors where you get paid per click based on the context.

I'll have to read that article a little bit later today when I'm able to absorb info.

Ever hear of renting blog space?

 

You should use adsense. Or try selling an affiliate product.

 

It all depends on how many traffic you have.But google adsense is not a bad solution,if you use google adsense properly you could be earning good money.Also a bad thing isn't to have 4-6 ads and then sell them ass advertising space,the more traffic you have more money you can earn selling your advertising space.Customers pay you wekly or monthly,and you can increase your price everytime your traffic goes up.

 

I sell private advertisements (125x125 banners, etc), sponsored reviews, and use Project Wonderful for my advertising on Blog Badly.
