How to Make Money With Your WordPress Blog
How to Make Money With WordPress: Don’t be boring!
There is nothing worse than reading lame content.  People tend to like reading things as though you are having a conversation with them.  This is what is known as “conversational speakâ€.  For example, the way I am talking to you right now is much more engaging than if I were to refer to you in technical terms.
Lame speak:
“People online make money with their WordPress blogs by an affiliate program that matches their content.â€
Conversational speak:
“If you really want to make some money with your WordPress blogs, you need to consider who your customer is.  For example, say I am “Joe Blow†looking for a solution to get rid of a mole on my forehead.  What sort of program would I be looking for?  What sort of products will remove a mole and is there anything that is natural that can cover this up without me having to consider surgery?
Answer your potential customers’ questions or they will mozy along to a site that does.â€
Write interesting content and people will actually read it. Â If people want to read a technical definition of something they will go to Wikipedia. Â Help people understand stuff and relate to things by talking to them as though you would your mom or your best friend.
How to Make Money With WordPress: Writing Should be FUN, relevant and unique!
How to Make Money With WordPress: Making Money From Your Traffic
The most effective ways to earn a significant amount of money from your WordPress traffic are:
(1) Affiliate Programs
There are many types of commission structured affiliate programs, but amongst the top are are Cost Per Sale and Cost Per Acquisition. Â The most common is CPS which is usually commission % based, which includes networks like:
But there are also many networks know that pay per action. Â For example an action could be someone filling out a form, taking advantage of a free offer, or filling out a survey. Â Many affiliates are making a ton of money with both styles of affiliate programs, leveraging their WordPress blogs to do so.
I recommend that if you aren’t already part of them, you seek out these top networks for affiliate programs that are relevant to your “nicheâ€.  Many pay very well and will be a nice inclusion on your WP blog posts.
(2) Google Adsense and Content Networks
Adding Google Adsense or adding ads from other ad networks to your blog can be a great way to earn money. Â If someone clicks on the ads that are displayed on your page, you earn money. Â Â We recommend using Adsense for this, but there are other ad networks that work well. Â They include:
(3) Selling your own STUFF
There are many ways that you can sell your own products and services (or info) online. Â If you have tangible products or used goods, you can use the following to sell them:
http://ebay.com
http://paypal.com
There are built-in plugins in WordPress that allow you to easily incorporate your eBay listings into your blog or to add a Paypal Payment feature on your blog.
Say you have a bunch of info on something and you think others would find it valuable and pay for it.  Maybe you know a lot about golf, maybe you know how to get rid of acne naturally…people pay for this stuff.  Create a PDF, and then put it on the Clickbank network as a merchant.
