Many individuals and businesses today make money blogging and earn a very comfortable living doing so. If you have been on the fence about setting up a blog for some extra cash the following are 7 ways you can earn an income with blogging as well:

1. Referral Based Purchases – you can make commissions by referring visitors from your blog to an affiliate product or service you are promoting. If the visitor buys something through your referral link you will earn a percentage of the sale and it’s free to join.

2. Accept donations – give your avid readers a way to donate some money without pressuring them. If you are providing value when they visit your blog you will be surprised how many will donate a buck or two. It adds up.

3. Set Up Shop – sell fun products like magnets, mugs, t-shirts and personalize them with your logo and website URL. It’s a great way to make them feel part of the team. It is also another way to put your blog business marketing on steroids.

4. Sell Your Blog – build a blog with a large consistent following and you will be able to sell your blog to people who rather buy one that’s already built and successful. If you plan to sell your blog try not to personalize the blog too much. You want it to be generic but valuable.

5. They Hate Writing – most Internet marketers will tell you they hate writing but without content there is no business. Content is king and if you can write people will be knocking on your door (I mean blog) asking “how much do you charge?”

6. Do You Like The Spotlight? – there are some major players who make a ton of money doing speaking engagements. Blogs are a perfect platform to showcase what you can offer of value. If you are an expert at your niche they will come calling.

7. Advertising – there are thousands of opportunities to add promotional banners, links and widgets to your blog and earn pay-per click or sales commissions for free.  My best advice here would be to make sure you keep it as relative to your niche as possible.

There you have it, 7 clear-cut ways to make money blogging. Are those the only ways you can earn an income with your blog? Absolutely not, but focus on 1 or 2 of those tips consistently and you will do just fine, but if you want to take it to a whole other level make sure to:
