Best Way to make money from your blog for starters

This post is for the bloggers or website owners who have just started a blog and want to make some money out of their blog. During the inception of your blog, you will hardly have any traffic and so to get direct sponsors or advertisers is practically impossible. The chances of making money is lean and you may get desperate.

Let me tell you, every business needs some time to settle and takes some time to start generating profit. You should be prepared for this and should not have any expectation for atleast the first six months in the case of blogging. If you are using a paid hosting, you will have to be prepared to pay the hosting bills from your pocket for atleast 6 months.

Top Money Making Programs

I have been earning online for the past few years. I have joined many programs, but only some gave me considerable earnings. Before you join any new affiliate program, you need to go through the earning potential of the program which depends on your blog visitors too. Program like Google Adsense do not work well for me on  this blog, but it works the best for some of my other blogs. I always track my earnings using Google Adsense Channels feature and Google Analytics to analyze my earnings as I have only one Google Adsense Account. I use Google Ad Manager for serving ads on my blogs and it has excellent features to track the ads.

Google Adsense – This is the top earning programs for me still. Even though top bloggers like Darren, John Chow don’t use Google Adsense. Google Adsense will not work for blogs with visitors who use Google Adsense, that’s what my experience says. Amit of Digital Inspiration uses Google Adsense and he earns a very high figure from this program because he has very high page views and most of his visitors are coming to his blog from search engines and are looking for technology related information and not bloggers like us. I had written a post related to Google Adsense Revenue, you can check it.

Do you use Chitika, best PPC program

Chitika is a PPC program, which has very high payment rate. This program is highly recommended by me and is one of the best revenue generator. Earlier it was very difficult to get an account from Chitika, but I think now they are bit liberal. The payments are very prompt and you can get paid by paypal unlike Google Adsense.

There are different Ad formats available for this program and will surely suit your website does not matter what kind of posts you do. The support is excellent and you get paid 10% of the revenue from the people you refer for the first 15 months.

This program will be very more revenue generating for websites which have US traffic, but not to worry if you don’t have US traffic, I can  assure you, 75% of my revenue of Chitika is from non US traffic. I have been using Chitika for the past 6 months and now every month I get a payment. You can surely use it with Google Adsense.

Tyroo, Indian Pay per click program

Just thought of writing a small post on Tyroo, which is another pay per click program. Its totally an Indian site and dedicated to Indian websites. I see most of the advertisers are Indian websites and companies. I used this program for few days and just removed it, but the earnings are good. I removed it only because, I was happy with working with Google Adsense. Tyroo shows ads for the category that you select. Its a good one as the earnings are good. Payments are done in Indian rupees and by cheque.
