How to Earn Money Writing Blogs At Home

1. Partner with an affiliate network. Affiliate partnerships benefit the business and the blogger. The blogger places links to their affiliate partner's products on their blog. When a reader clicks the link and buys a product, the affiliate partner pays the blogger a commission. The biggest affiliate networks include Linkshare, Commission Junction, Shareasale, Clickbank and Google Affiliate Network. Many bloggers also earn using Amazon's Associates program.
2. Use pay-per-click advertising to generate income. Pay-per click advertisers like Google AdSense, Chitika and Kontera place advertisements on your blog. The code for the advertisements scans your blog posts looking for keywords. The publisher then displays ads they believe are relevant to your blog posts. When a reader clicks on a link, the publisher applies a portion of the ad revenue they collect from the business into the blogger's account.

3. Create advertising spaces to sell to businesses. Blogs with high traffic may want to skip pay-per-click advertising and go directly to selling their ad space. Pay-per-click earnings fluctuate and are not guaranteed. When you sell advertising, you are guaranteed a monthly income from the advertiser. You need an established blog with a high readership and traffic level to sell ad revenue.
4. Monetize your videos with ads. Video bloggers earn money by monetizing their videos with commercials and advertisements. Video ads are slightly different than the pay-per-click advertisements. You may be paid per click, by engagement or a flat fee. The payment structure varies based on the publisher. The biggest video ad publishers include Google Video Ads, YuMe and Brightroll.
5. Set up an e-commerce site to sell your own products. Writers may want to self-publish their own e-book to sell on their blog, on Amazon's Kindle Publishing platform or through Smashwords. Designer bloggers may want to sell their own creations. Technology bloggers sell their own programming applications or website templates. Photographers sell their prints.
6. Earn money writing reviews. Websites such as PayPerPost, Link Post and Sponsored Posts pay bloggers to review their products. Sign up with these publishers and start earning money writing sponsored reviews of products on your blogs.
