[原创]个人blog赚钱有道

nety

看到了几个blog上关于blog的商业应用方面的文章，同时看收集了几片关于这方面的帖子，现在讨论blogger如何赚钱，也是非常热的话题，在互联网急速发展的今天，赚钱的门路越来越多了，找来细细看吧。<br>
<br>以下是华盛顿邮报的文章介绍了利用你的blog来赚钱的5个点子，新意不多，但还是值得一看。<br>
<br>You pound on the keyboard each day, broadcasting your unalloyed truths to the world (or at least to friends and family) via your blog. Unfortunately, earning such singular authority demands serious time and energy, and what begins as a hobby can quickly start seeming like Job No. 2 -- sans paycheck. But haven't you heard? You can turn your Web log into a digital cash cow.Simply choose among these techniques (but keep in mind that it's not all free money -- come tax season, Uncle Sam gets his fair share).<br>
<br>
<br>
LET GOOGLE WORK FOR YOU.<br>
Selling ad space might be the oldest way to make a buck, and with Google's free AdSense service (www.google.com/adsense),it's way too easy. AdSense allows bloggers to display up to three content-specific &quot;ad units&quot; (boxes that can hold up to four ads each) per page. &quot;If you're writing about sports cars, they'll be ads aboutsports cars,&quot; says Biz Stone, Blogger senior specialist at Google. Each time a visitor clicks these ads, you get paid. Google doesn't disclose<br>
its exact share of the revenue, but a personalized report page lets you track your own earnings. Earn at least $100 and Google sends you a check.<br>
<br>
PLAY AD-SALES EXEC. <br>
If you want more control over the ads on your blog, hit www.blogads.com. BlogAds lets you join its database free and set your own ad prices.Companies (including media bigs such as Paramount Pictures and RandomHouse) then search for suitable blogs and purchase ad space for a set period -- say, one month. In contrast to the way AdSense works, your earnings don't depend on whether a reader clicks the ad. All you have to do is give 20 percent of your net revenue to Mr. BlogAd, and you keep the rest. Perhaps best of all, you can indulge your megalomaniacal tendencies by approving or declining potential ads at will.<br>
<br>
<br>BE THE MIDDLEMAN.<br>
Many companies run &quot;affiliate&quot; programs: Post an ad provided by Amazon.com or Lands' End, for example, and receive asmall commission every time your readers click that ad, go to the company's Web site and end up buying a book or splurging on a down parka. Referral fees -- the cash you get from these transactions -- vary (you can earn as much as 10 percent per sale from Amazon).LinkShare (www.linkshare.com) claims to run the Internet's biggest &quot;affiliate marketing network,&quot;with more than 600 companies on its roster of advertisers. Another service, Commission Junction (www.cj.com), runs programs for eBay and Expedia.com, among others.<br>

<br>
PASS THE CUP. If you're toiling away to maintain a blog that<br>
<br>
<br>
people enjoy, why not ask your guests to show a little mone taryappreciation? The online payment service PayPal (www.paypal.com)lets you add a donation button to your blog. You can opt to receive money in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, Japanese yen, pounds sterling or euros. When visitors give money, PayPal sends you an e-mail to letyou know. Amazon's Honor System (www.amazon.com/honorsystem... and BitPass (www.bitpass.com) offer similar donation options. <br>
<br>
<br>
SELL SCHWAG. <br>
Don't dig ads? Uncomfortable asking for handouts?Then create your own blog-branded gear at CafePress.com, which offers more than 50 products begging for your unique logo. Choose from standard fare such as T-shirts and coffee cups, or, if Grandma doesn't read your blog, opt for sexy thong underwear (ooh la la). You get to sell each product at whatever price your entrepreneurial heart desires. CafePress gets back the original base price ($13.99 for T-shirts,<br>
$10.99 for mugs); you keep the markup. Just add your online store's link to your blog, and all that's left to do is wait for CafePress to send you a monthly check. See? It's practically like your real job.<br>
这五个点子分别是：<br>
1。Google AdSense，这是已经被最多人使用的方法，但是其设置简单，收入也不少。对绝大部分blogger来说，AdSense仍然是一个非常值得推荐的方法。<br>
2。通过BlogAds来<br>
帮别人作广告。BlogAds可以让blogger有更大的自主权，这里更像一个开放式的市场，你可以自己决定广告的价格，当然也可以购买别人blog上的广告，而BlogAds只收取利润20%的“市场管理费”。对于有一定知名度的blog，这可能是一个比AdSense更好的选择。<br>
<br>
3。“affiliate”项目也是blogger的重要收入手段之一。这类项目主要以销售分成的形式来为blogger提供收入。除了Amazon之外，在LinkShare和Commission Junction上，你也可以获得相当好的类似服务。<br>
<br>
4。读者向blogger的捐赠是一种直接不过的方式。通过Paypal、Amazon Honor System及Bitpass的服务，你都可以非常方便的在自己的blog上建立一个链接来让读者向你提供资金上的援助。<br>
<br>
5。如果你拥有一个魅力非凡的blog，你也可以把你blog的logo印刷在各种各样的产品上进行销售。觉得制作产品麻烦？不用担心，早已经有网站提供非常方便的服务。CafePress.com上提供超过50种现成的产品，只需要提供logo就可以开始贩售这些打上个性标签的产品。价格可以随便定，CafePress只收取固定的价格。
