How do you make money?

[Luke]

I'm wanting to start to make money off my blog as I want to turn it into a company like CNET and to do that I need to start making money off it to pay for more and more things to make the site better.

How do you make money on your sites?

 

[P U R P]

I don't make money on my site.

 

[LiquidServe]

Some tips:
You can use google adsense!
Buysellads.com for some ads!

Mainly the source of money is ads!

Most of my site's revenue came from selling direct ads. Having adsense also helped.

Since PB is in BSA, that's how we're making our money :great:

Oh, ya I forgot that you can do that.
I sell ads every once and while.

 

[Ewan]

I'm going to start selling ad space on my site when it becomes more popular.

Most ad publishers don't like to run ads on forums unfortunately.

I'd suggest taking a close look at CNET and other blogs that you admire. Research how they are making money from their blogs and see what ideas you can get from them and use on your own site.

 

[LiquidServe]

You could make money by promoting LiquidServe from an affiliate link and when people get hosting you get 75% of what the user pays for first month!

Try Google Adsense but it can be hot or cold. I only get 1 or 2 clicks a day, sometimes more. Wish more people would click them 🙁

I had a WHOLE lot of clicks on my first day of adsense on promotion box, and we got banned 🙁

Sounds like someone clicked an ad over and over again. It's against the rules but impossible to prevent.

Precisely. However, now that we're in an ad network that doesn't conform to stupid technicalities like that I am happy :3

 

[Cloverfield]

Which ad network is that?

 

[Luke]

BuySellAds I believe he is talking about.

 

[Darthmaul]

BuySellAds I believe he is talking about.

That's the one 🙂

 

[Cloverfield]

I'll have a look into that.

Buysellads is pretty awesome 🙂

That's the one 🙂

The best one 😛

Oh and ZINC for blogs maybe you could do a service where for example a small tech company pays you 10$ to write an article about them with a link at the end.
