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. Donations – provide a way for your loyal readers to donate money to you, but make sure you are providing quality content and a valuable reading experience. It gives the readers the option to extend their gratitude without being pressured.

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. Virtual Real Estate – yes, your blog is like a home and you can put it up for sale and if it is built to make someone else a lot of money they will absolutely make the investment.

5. Writing Means Money – many people don’t like writing and prefer to outsource that task to others. If you love writing it will show on your blog and you will have people coming to you asking if they can pay you to write articles.

6. Presenting – many of the most successful internet marketers make most of their money off line because they get paid a nice sum of money to present at major gatherings. A blog is a great calling card to market your expertise for those looking for experienced speakers.

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. What you want to avoid is making your blog too busy with them. Keep them at a minimum and you will get more activity.
