Making sense of blogging and social media

Fine art of paid blogging
Friday, 18 March 2011

Every blogger (ok, ok almost every blogger) dreams of making money through fine art of blogging. Some who are still shy may be earning some ‘passive income’ and others make all out effort to make money from their blogging.

Those who are shy are still debating about whether making money from a blog is ok for them while others are contemplating new ways to make more money and profit from their blogs.

Fact is that monetization strategies across blogspshere are changing fast; therefore bloggers interested in making some blogging money need to act faster. What was good during 2004-6 may not bring as much revenue now as it used to bring then. Sponsored conversations to create a buzz across online world that used to come with a price tag of $50 upwards are on offer for as low as $.50. Ok, it is bloggers own choice to take them or leave them but this shows a trend. Similarly, rates for permanent for back links are also falling.

On the other hand direct sale (many advertisers are approaching directly to bloggers for their unique requirements like adding their required links under previously written posts, integrated sponsorship (fee-based sponsors for your site are becoming true patrons, not just passive advertisers) and network marketing (network marketing has grown up from early days and has become a legitimate marketing model even in local market), to name just a few have come up.

It is about time that bloggers should change their blog monetizing strategies. Have you?
