When the Internet was first growing up, it was primarily a research tool. As people got more familiar with it, it also became a fun place of recreation. And then the inevitable happened; people learned how to make money using this same tool. Hey, as long as everyone else it making money on the Web, you might as well join them. One of the best ways to do so is through blogging. You can easily make money blogging by using the following three techniques.

The first method for making money blogging is known as Flagship Blogging. Using this method, you don’t expand beyond a few blogs. But you spand massive time and energy on these blogs daily. Each should be a popular niche area, and you should do all you can to make these blogs quite popular among people who are interested in that niche. Your ultimate goal is to create a flagship blog that is considered a must-visit site on the Internet, each with a large number of daily visitors.

People who use the flagship method do so because the potential is there for generating a lot of money. However, there are even more who avoid this method because of the amount of time needed to generate that income. Usually you have to spend months building up your site, and most of that time you’re not making much or any money. Bottom line: It takes time.

But the payoff can be huge. This type of mega-blog can have many types of monetization options. Chief among them is direct advertising sales.

The flagship blogging method is not for everyone. You should only attempt it if you know you have the niche knowledge, networking skills and marketing know-how to make it work.

Another popular method that many people use to make money online via blogging is known as the pay-per-post blogging method. Under this technique, you set up many more blogs than with the flagship method. These can either be on your own domain or with free blog host sites such as WordPress or Blogger. You then maintain all of these blogs for a span of time, focusing on creating content and building up each one’s Google PageRanks, link profiles and Alexa Ranks.

You must spend the necessary time to submit each blog to pay-to-blog sites such as LoudLaunch, Review Me, PayPerpost, Blogitive, Sponsored Reviews, Blogsvertise, and others, for their advertisers to consider sponsoring your blog post about their product – which in reality are meant to sell products in the guise of a blog post.

The chief disadvantage to this method, though, is that you’ll have no passive income. Therefore in order to make money, you have to take the time – sometimes lots of time – creating numerous sponsored posts, which some people consider boring and time-consuming.

A third good method: Automated Blogging. This means just what it sounds like. You set up the site and then leave it alone to draw in the money for you. You do this by setting up the site to pull in content from RSS feeds, search engines and news sources. There’s next to no maintenance required once you set up these sites, which means you have money coming in for almost no more work from you. The downside is that the money that is generated is only be low if you don’t spend the time marketing them properly.

Whichever method or methods you choose, you’ll doubtless find that blogging is a fun and fulfiling way of making some extra money. Try one or two of these and watch the extra money start coming in.
