How to Monetize Blog & Get Traffic

Many people are looking for ways to make money through blogging. A great way to make money is by putting ads on your blog.

This can be with affiliate products, your own products, or adsense ads and other sites similar to adsense. You can also use your blog to provide solutions to people. The way you do this is by researching a problem that is in high demand and finding an affiliate product or creating an ebook around this problem and advertising it on your blog. You want to advertise it by preselling it on your blog. Don't come out right and bluntly sell to your visitors. Provide some value in the content on your blog and they will be more compelled to check out your offers.

Now that you've got a monetized blog, you need to promote it. One of the best ways to get traffic to your blog is to give other bloggers' and site owners' free content. Well written and fresh content is in demand these days and you can be the one to provide this to the bloggers and website owners. What you do is offer to write articles and blog post for them. You are actually being a guest blogger.  You have to give them quality content and you can get your blog out there. They will handle marketing the site themselves and this is a win-win for all people involved.

To get started search for blogs and offer your services to the bloggers. Get samples of your articles ready and provide them the samples. Once they accept your offer, write article post that provides quality that will boost their reputation as well as yours. Then at the end of the article post, include a section for about the author and link that back to your blog. You will get more traffic from their efforts and more of an opportunity for your post to be shared among thousands of people.

Also a great way to get traffic to your blog is to post comments to other bloggers' post. Make sure the comments provide valuable information that will help the bloggers' readers. The owners are providing quality in their post and it is only right to add value to your comments. I'm not talking about "this is a good post".  I mean elaborate on the comment; type a few sentences that will help someone and add value to their post.

I hope this information will help you and I hope you will be successful with you blogs.
