How People Could Create More Profit With Blogging Online
How Much cash streams Do I generate from Blogging?
I get asked how much streams of income my blogging generate on a regular basis. These days I don’t go into specifics about it – all I will say is that it continues to be well over six figures per year (but less than seven figures). What you’ll find below are my top income streams – ranked from highest earnings to lowest.
I hope you find it useful to see the mix and variety of ways that I earn a living from blogging.
AdSense- Despite not using it here at wealth creations network any more I continue to use AdSense with real effect on my other blogs. While I do use AdSense Referrals and their search feature it is their normal ads that work best for me. I have them all set to show image and text based ads and find that 250×300 pixel ads work best (usually with a blended design).
Chitika- Last time I did this sort of summary Chitika ranked #1. This time around it has been overtaken by AdSense – not because Chitika slipped in how much it earned but because AdSense went up and because I also replaced a few Chitika ad units with WidgetBucks ones. Chitika offers a range of ad units that I experiment with. I find their eMiniMalls work best and that Related Product Units are also good. Their Shoplincs product isn’t performing as well as it once did for me – mainly because I’ve been promoting it less and have driven less traffic to it. Over the time I’ve been using Chitika they’ve now earned me over a quarter of a million dollars!
Amazon Associates- This has been one of my big movers in the last 12 months. I used to earn a few odd dollars from it – however in recent times it has become a significant earner for me (as I’ve shared previously). This quarter it overtook TLA as my third biggest earner – largely on the back of me directing traffic to Amazon from my product related sites – mainly digital cameras. While the commission on cameras is only 4% this adds up when those that you refer buy higher ticket items.
Text Link Ads- The income from TLA has dipped slightly over the last few months simply because I took the decision to stop selling them here at wealth creations network and most of my other blogs. This was because I wanted to focus more upon selling the 125 pixel ads instead and felt that the ads I was attracting were not as relevant to this site as they could have been. As it turns out this might have been a good move because it seems Google has been penalizing blogs that run them lately.
Wealth Creations Network Boards- The boards here at wealth creations network continue to grow each month in the number of advertisements that are being bought. This enabled me to invest most of the wealth that they’d earned a while back into getting a new back end for the boards and to redesign them. It hit me today that the boards are now bringing in around $1000 a month in revenue which is pretty nice considering that they are now so low maintenance to run! I’ve just given a development team a new brief to expand the job boards in the coming month so stay tuned for some new features coming soon which could see this revenue increase and more importantly for it to become an even more useful resource to readers.
Miscellaneous Affiliate Programs- I run a variety of affiliate programs on my blogs – most of which bring in smaller amounts of streams of income that don’t really justify a category of their own. This area is set to continue to grow in the current quarter with me having had reasonable conversions from the promotion of the excellent teaching courses available on www.wealthcreationsnetwork.com.
Miscellaneous Advertising Programs- I also play with a number of other ad networks. Some I run as tests to see if I should review them here – and some are just advertising that run in the background on some of my smaller blogs. These include AuctionAds, Feedburner RSS ads, Vizu (a poll advertising system), Kontera and Bidvertiser. Together these don’t add up to major earnings for me – not because they are not good, but because I don’t use them heavily (a blog can only run so many ads on it).
I think that that covers most of it. Since last quarter I’ve also been experimenting with WidgetBucks as well as one other ad campaigns that is still in a closed beta test. I’m certain that WidgetBucks will feature in next quarter’s list because I am getting good returns on that so far. In fact at it’s current earnings it’ll debut at at least number 4 on the list and perhaps even at number 3.
How Much do I Spend? As mentioned last time – I don’t spend a lot of wealth in order to bring in my income. I do have some basic blogging costs (hosting etc) and play around with a limited amount of advertising (AdWords and StumbleUpon) but rely more heavily upon word of mouth and organic ways of drawing income into my blogs. I also have some costs in paying writers on a couple of blogs – but these don’t build up a massive part of the overall earnings each quarter.

How People Make Cash Streams Online With Amazon.com
The Amazon Associates Program is well worth considering for some bloggers. I use it and this month it’ll earn me over $3500 USD – not my biggest income stream, but not the ‘pennies and dimes’ that some say it has the potential to earn.
To bring a little balance to the debate over the Amazon Affiliate program I thought I’d give a few reasons that I am an Amazon Affiliate:
1. Amazon is a trusted Brand – I surveyed some of my readers a year back and asked them to give me a list of online stores that they had made purchases from in the last 12 months. Amazon came up number 1 as the most popular shopping destination mentioned. Readers know Amazon and are familiar with it – they trust it and do spend significant income there.
2. Commissions – Bill writes that he’s not satisfied with a 4% commission. He’s right in some ways, 4% isn’t that much when you’re selling a $10 book – however when you’re selling a Get a Price on the $5000 Camera or a $25,000 Tractor (I know someone who does quite well out of ride on mowers and tractors) it certainly adds up. Not only that, the 4% rate that Bill talks about is the base rate. Unfortunately it is as high as it goes on consumer electronics – however on most other products there is a sliding scale where the more you sell the higher your commission goes to. Sell more than 6 items in a month and your commission goes to 6% – sell over 630 and you’re up to 8% (the rate I’m on). The 4-Hour work Week that Bill uses as an example made me around $1 a book. Still not a lot – but I did sell 100 or so of them (after my interview with it’s author) which not only earned me $100 but also helped push the numbers of sales up for the month, moving me into the next earning bracket.
3. People Buy More than One Item – the great thing about Amazon is that you don’t just make a commission on the product that you people to, but anything that they buy once they’re at Amazon. I did an experiment earlier in the year where I published a review of a digital photography book on my blog and placed a tracking code in the link to see how much the review earned me specifically. What I found was that the product in the review did quite well – but the sales of other products that people made once they got to Amazon was actually much greater than the sales of the actual book. People went on to buy all manner of products (other books, electronics, cosmetics etc) – I earned a commission on each one of them – now that’s passive income. You make a commission on anything that a person buys within 24 hours of you sending them to Amazon.
4. Easily Integrated – There are more and more plugins and tools that have Amazon Affiliate integration built into them to help you easily place links in your blog posts. I use ecto for Mac which has a tool that searches for products and links them in in just a couple of clicks. WP has plugins also. The affiliate links already mentioned in this post took seconds to integrate in.
5. Payment Options – Amazon pays their affiliates in a number of ways. One of the things that I like is that they give you the option to be paid in products instead of cash. I don’t do this every month (I couldn’t spend that $20,000+ a year at Amazon… well maybe I could) but occasionally do and use it as prizes for blog readers. I recently offered DPS readers $500 of Amazon products in a forum signup competition. The prize is paid for out of my affiliate earnings.
6. Small Payments Add Up – In my early days of making money from blogs I didn’t have the luxury of picking and choosing my income streams as much as I (and other full time bloggers) now do. I needed to earn cash somewhere and even the small amounts that Amazon brought in were better than nothing. Over time these payments began to add up. In the early days I didn’t even make enough for a minimum payment amount and had to wait a few months before they’d pay me – but those pay outs were milestones that I celebrated. If I’d not gone with Amazon because they didn’t make me a lot I might not have gone with any ad networks or affiliate programs – sometimes you have to take what you can get.
7. It’s an Investment that Matures Over Time – My approach with Amazon is to treat it a little like a savings account or an investment that you put a little into each week and which matures in it’s earnings over time. What do I mean by this? I add links to Amazon over time and find that in doing so I’m creating more and more doorways into the Amazon store. Each time I do I increase the chances of sending someone to Amazon and seeing returns on those visits.
8. The Holidays are Boom Time – While I’m really happy with the way my Amazon Affiliate income is growing ($3500 a month is so far beyond what I’d ever expected from it in the early days) it’s worth noting that things really fire up in the lead up to Christmas and the holiday season. Over the last few years I’ve noticed significant jumps in Amazon earnings in December as much as 100%. The key is to plan ahead make sure your links are all up to date a couple of months out and run a few Christmas specific posts in the lead up to the Holiday rush start to prepare as early as October/November.
9. Wide Array of Products – What initially attracted me to using Amazon’s Affiliate program was the breadth of products that they had in their system. This is a great thing if you’re niche is narrow or quite obscure as many bloggers find it difficult to find affiliate programs to match their blog’s focus. Options for affiliate programs (which is why I don’t use it a lot on this blog and make most of my earnings from Amazon from product related blogs) but many bloggers don’t have the luxury of being able to choose high paying affiliate programs because they simply don’t relate to our topics. Amazon then becomes one of the more attractive options.
So is the Amazon Affiliate Program for you?
I can’t answer that question for everyone – I won’t pretend that it works brilliantly on every blog but I know quite a few bloggers making significant earnings each month from the program. Blogs with a strong product focus can do quite well through the program if links to Amazon are well integrated into posts (see some of the links below for tips). I would advise moderation in using the program – don’t place them in every post you write unless they are relevant. Links placed in genuinely helpful reviews do better than links and banners in sidebars.
The best way to see if it converts is to give it a go.

How You Can Make More Lots Of Money Online With Blogs
I’ve been reflecting this week about the amazing diversity of opportunities that are opening up for bloggers to earn lots of money from blogging. I’ve long advised that bloggers seeking to earn large profits from blogging spread their interests across multiple revenue streams so as not to put all their eggs in one basket. The wonderful thing is that this is becoming easier and easier to do and many options opening up. I thought I’d take a look at some of the methods that bloggers are currently using to earn income through blogs.
Income Streams for Bloggers – How to Earn profit Blogging
Advertising Programs – Perhaps the most obvious changes in the past few months have been with the addition of a variety of viable advertising options for bloggers looking to generate income streams from their blogs. The most common way bloggers seem to earn cash streams online is via the contextual ad program from Google – Adsense.
Azoogle Ads, Intelli Txt, DoubleClick, Tribal Fusion, Adbrite, Clicksor, AdHearUs, Kanoodle, Pheedo, TextAds, Bidvertiser, Fastclick and Value Click (to name just some of the options) and there is a smorgasbord of options. Of course there is more to come with MSN Adcenter and YPN both in beta testing and with a variety of other advertising system currently in development (YPN is only available to US publishers).
Lastly there’s BlogAds – one of the first blog specific ad networks.
RSS Advertising – The past 12 months have seen some advances in RSS Advertising also. I’m yet to hear of any bloggers making big income blogging through it to this point – but as improvements are made to the ad programs exploring this I’m sure we’ll start to see examples of it being profitable.
Sponsorship – In addition to the array of promotional programs that are available to join there is a growing awareness in the business of the value and opportunity that exists for them to advertise directly on blogs. I’m hearing more and more examples of this and have been fortunate to have a couple of ad campaigns of my own in the past. These are not isolated cases – as I say I know of many blogs exploring sponsorship with advertisers at present and suspect we’ll see more of it in the year ahead. Sponsorship is also happening on a post by post basis with some bloggers being paid to write on certain topics by companies – either in one off or a regular fashion – and they are able to make big cash from their blogs doing so.
Affiliate Programs – There are larger affiliate programs like Amazon, Linkshare, Clickbank and Commission Junction but also literally thousands of others from the large to the very small.
Digital Assets – Increasing numbers of bloggers have been developing other digital assets to support and add revenue streams to their blogs. By this I mean that I’m increasingly seeing e-books, courses and tele-seminars being run by bloggers.
Blog Network Opportunities – with the rise in popularity of Blog Networks – bloggers are also being presented with more places to earn an income from their blogging – by writing for and with others. While it might be difficult to get a writing gig with one of the bigger networks – there are plenty who are always asking for new bloggers to join and who are willing to pay bloggers using a variety of payment models. While there are distinct advantages of blogging for yourself – blogging for an established network who will handle a lot of the set up/promotion/admin/SEO etc has it’s advantages also. More and more bloggers are combining writing for themselves on their own blogs with taking on blog network blogs as additional income streams.
Business Blog Writing Opportunities – as blogging has risen in it’s profile as a medium more and more businesses are starting blogs. Many of these companies have internal staff take on blogging duties – but an increasing number of them are hiring specialist bloggers to come on and run their blogs. I know of a number of bloggers who in the past month or two have been approached for such paid work. Check out Bloggers for Hire if you’re looking for this type of work.
Non Blogging Writing Opportunities – Also becoming more common are bloggers being hired to write in non blogging mediums. Manolo’s recent coup of a column in the Washington Post is just one example of this as bloggers are increasingly being approached to write for newspapers, magazines and other non blog websites. Along side this is the rise of bloggers as published book authors – this is to the extent that one blogger I spoke with this week complained to me that they were one of the few bloggers than they knew who didn’t have a book deal!
Donations – Tip Jars and donation buttons have been a part of blogging for years now but this last year saw a number of bloggers go full time after fund raising drives.
Flipping Blogs – Also more common was the practice of ‘Blog Flipping’ – or selling of blogs. This has happened both on an individual blog level ,but also on a network level (the most obvious of these being the 8 figure sale of Weblogs Inc to AOL).
Merchandising – an increasing number of bloggers are attempting to make a few extra dollars from their blogs by selling branded products through programs like Cafepress. Quite a few larger blogs are seeing significant sales – especially blogs with a cult following.
Consulting and Speaking – While it has been popular for established consultants to add blogs to their businesses we’re also starting to see bloggers with no consulting background able to generate wealth by charging readers for their time in consulting scenarios BECAUSE of the profile that their blogs have built them. Blogging has the ability to establish people as experts on niche topics and we all know the value of being perceived as an expert. I spoke to one blogger last month who charges himself out at over $200 an hour for speaking and consulting work – his area of expertise was something that he knew little about 18 months ago – but through his blog he’s become a leader in his field and a minor celebrity in his industry.
As time rolls on there are more and more ways that bloggers earn extreme wealth from their blogs opening up. Feel free to suggest your own ideas and experiences in comments below.

How People Could Create Huge Profits Online With CPA Marketing
The Internet marketing circles are brimming with a hot new passive income making method called Cost Per Action marketing or Cost per Action marketing. Since this method involves pushing free offers, it’s getting rave reviews. You may be familiar with affiliate marketing and regular selling, but this is a totally different marketing method that’s an exciting avenue for creating truckloads of cash. If you have already tried the affiliate marketing, you’re aware of the frustration created when you get the traffic going to the sales page but the conversions are really low.
When you undertake affiliate marketing, you have to hard sell the product to the customer, but Cost Per Action marketing allows you to offer promotions to generate traffic. This makes Cost Per Action marketing a highly effective way to generate leads, as it allows you to try different things in order to achieve the results that you want. Rather than commissions paid to you only when a sale is made, you’re paid for each visitor that chooses to take a specific action that the advertiser has decided on. If you have been laboring intensely with your marketing efforts to no avail, this is a great opportunity to increase your income. If you’re ready to start in with your CPA campaign, here are some tips and ideas to help you grow an online business.

One of the important elements that will attract or repel the target audience is the landing page. Your visitor has to see a professional landing page in order to be appropriately impressed.
If you create a page that is uninteresting, you will not keep the visitors intrigued. In addition to this, check to see if there are any recommendations for the offer from reliable sources, such as the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Due to all the various scams that are on the Internet, most people are really careful. It’s also necessary to get written and video product testimonials from customers who have used and liked the product. This allows prospective customers to learn more about the product from other points of view.
Driving traffic is the key to successful CPA offers. No matter how good your CPA offer may be, it won’t do you any good at all unless you can use if effectively to earn tons of money. In addition to the free avenues of driving traffic, paid avenues need to be explored as well. Some of the options available to you are Facebook/MySpace Advertisements, buying banner ads on similar pages, and Pay Per View Networks. You are going to have to spend money to make tons of money in this scenario, but the traffic you generate for you Cost Per Action campaign should compensate you for your expenditure. Begin with a small investment and budget carefully.
Test each advertisement or source of traffic and track each conversion. Optimize your ads in the best possible way and soon you’ll have a winning formula at your hand that you can scale. Last but not the least, treat your Cost Per Action business as any other online business, and it will give you big returns. Of course there will be times you don’t find a good offer, but just keep moving on to the next ones until you hit a winner.
All in all to be successful in anything all you need is drive and follow through. Don’t let your concerns stop you from generating the wealth you deserve!
