Enabling Private Advertising on your blog is one sure way to create an income online. Sometimes it may take a little time to gain the recognition that might be required to make your blog an attractive proposition to advertisers, but when it does, you are ready to start earning great money from placing ads on your site.
If you are running a WordPress blog, it is particularly easy to achieve this, as there are many plugins available to assist with layout, ad scheduling, and payments from advertisers. WordPress plugins can be located at the official WordPress website and are also available from a large number of third party developers online.
Let's say you have a blog that deals with "Building a Website" and you are drawing a reasonable number of fresh visitors each day. You may want to make a number of 125x125 spots available in your sidebars.
These ads may be from people who have websites for sale, they may be from online businesses that have site builders or instructional videos on building websites. Each of these and many more related sites would pay good money to have a prominent place on your blog pages.Advertisements can be positioned almost anywhere you want them. In the footer, the header, within the sidebars as already mentioned, and even before or after each article on your blog. Any or all of these positions would be ideal for placing private advertising as a means to making money from blogging.
If you think about the potential with this method alone, it is a very appealing way to monetize your blog. Just 6 ads (125x125) positioned in the sidebar of your blog, at the rate of $10 per month, is $60 per month.
If you have 10 blogs, all with the same level of advertising, you are looking at a potential $600 per month.
If you add to that the possibility of having a footer advertisement and a 248x60 banner ad placed on your site as well, you could easily be expecting $160 per month per site, or more, depending on factors like your total number of unique visitors each month, and your Page Rank in the search engines.
The key as always is to provide the "value" in the content that keeps people coming back and talking about your blog. This increases traffic, which increases the value of your site, in turn increasing the amount you can comfortably charge for private advertising.
