Blogging is an ideal way to generate money but, only the creation of the blog is not enough. You have to make necessary arrangements to make it a money-making machine. Yeah, that’s right! It can be a money generating machine. There are hundreds of bloggers who are earning hundreds to thousands of dollars per month with their blogs. You might have seen the blogs on the World Wide Web with donation buttons, ads and reviews of a specific service or product? Actually the owners of the blog know about the money-making secrets and have mastered the monetization techniques.
Making money with the blogs is not a difficult task once you have a substantial amount of the traffic for your blog. But, the toughest of all is the task to attract the visitors to the blog and to oblige them to stick to the blog in future. Following are a few handy tips that help you in making your blog a money machine.
1) Create and Publish Quality Content!
To monetize your blog you have to publish quality content always. None of the monetizing and marketing technique will be helpful if the visitors can’t get the interesting and informative content on the blog. Make use of the videos and images to make your content more engaging and interesting for the readers. It will also make them urge for more quality content on the same blog.
2) Add an Email Subscription Form in Order to Build your Email List
Create an email section on your blog to enable visitors for subscription to the blog or to the newsletter. It is the idyllic way to enable the users to subscribe to your blog in order to generate money for you. In this way you can send the product recommendation and can make money in the shortest possible time without any additional work.
3) Write Product Reviews!
Add some product reviews. Up till now it is the friendliest method to make money as the readers will get an idea in advance that the article is based on a product and it will not be kept at bay by the affiliate links. Make sure you wrote an honest review and have added ample information necessary for the readers. In this way you can boost the chances to convert readers into buyers. In this way your blog will generate money for you.
4) Add a Donation Form / Button!
Add donation features to the blog. It enables the users to donate a portion of their money if they want so. In this way you can spice up your income and can also make your visitors feel valuable and useful.
5) Promote your Blog!
Promote your blog! Without it nothing will work for you either. Your quality content will be useless if people don’t know about the existence of your blog. Your blog’s visibility is everything. Half of the work is done with marketing and the remaining half needs your efforts especially in the beginning when everything is new and fresh. The best way is to undergo guest blogging and article marketing. It will not only boost the links to the blog but, will also help to stand out your blog in search engines. You will also attract ample of the traffic from the article directories and blogs you are linked to. In this way you will be able to earn money from your blog from the very first day.

It takes months or you can say years to make money with blogging. It is not an easy task to generate full time income from blogging. Yes few points like adding donate button is good but we have to do much more things. So buy adding donate button is not giving us money with our blog. Promotion of blog is essential.
BTW nice approach for giving some quality tips to newbies.

Agree with all your points except #4 which suggests the use of donate button on blogs ! These buttons where used by bloggers earlier but now-a-days I hardly see any blogs with a donate button !

I think it’s a very outdated idea and can make you look desperate for money, I actually heard of a blogger having their PayPal account suspended for using the donate button.
Cheers

I had contemplated the donate button but to me it felt like pan-handling but some can pull it off better than I most likely. Basically, it all boils down to traffic. If you don’t have good quality content that will entice people to share or come back, you won’t get enough traffic. Definitely good points and a great idea to stick to the basics. Great Fahad

Some good tips fskhan. I’m sure I’m not the only one when I say #5 is probably the hardest step. There are so many good quality blogs out there today that it’s very hard to compete. I believe that’s where #1 comes in. But getting the word out can be hard, especially when everyone is promoting.
I try to utilize social networks and email subscription,rss etc. to help me along. But how do you feel about directories? I know next to a couple of certain directories that are out there, sometimes they are frowned upon. Thoughts?

Definitely agree on the product reviews. When I used to write a photography blog, I had a lot of different kinds of content – photography techniques, how to edit photos, and gear reviews – and without a doubt the best earning content was the product reviews. The other content bolstered the reputation of the blog and brought in readers, and the gear reviews directed people to Amazon to buy stuff and to make me money.

I don’t think that adding donation button is a good option to monetize the blog. No one should do it unless he is doing it for charity or some community help service.
Great list! I especially like the idea of writing product reviews. I manage a collection of bloggers; product reviews will help our affiliate marketing efforts. Thanks for the post!

Great list… Point 2 on the email subscription list is going to be a great way to earn money. You have potentially already sold them something so now you have their contact details, you can concentrate on up-selling and cross selling to maximize profits.

Point three and four are pretty important I feel.
Point three is important as it’s good to offer value to your blog readers. I have some product reviews coming up on my magic blog shortly.
Point four is useful as sometimes people just enjoy a post and are feeling kind!

I have all of this in my site but I am not confident about the quality of my sites content. My website is about reviews of affiliate programs that I have joined.
my site is kind of bias in the programs I review because I use them and love using it. I also mention few negative things about this programs but I think it won’t make my site that reliable.
I really love your article I will be using this points every time I make posts. ^_^

Hi,
I have read your blog post. You are true that blogging is one of the best ways to mak money online. The blogger of the 2012 earn per day about 1000$ from his blog. I think you all the bloggers are familiar with that blog (problogger). But to earn from blogging you have to put good content in your blog. Several things you have to keep in mind when you are blogging those are —
1. Never tell a lie with your readers
2. Help your readers
3. Be fair with your readers
If you follow my tips then you do not need any SEO, your blog will go viral in internet. Because people will share your blog, posts in facebook,twitter or other social networking sites to help other people.
