Here’s an article from InsideCRM on 101 ways to monetize your blog. Actually it’s broken down into the following subtopics:
1. Merchandising
2. Paid Content
3. Begging (a.k.a. donations)
4. Opportunities (speaking, consulting, etc.)
5. Offline
6. Ads
7. RSS Ads
8. Text Ads
9. Sell Your Own Ads
10. Affiliate Programs
11. Sponsored Posts
12. Misc.
How many of these ways have you tried? Please leave a comment. I’d like to hear about your experiences.
One thing you can do is to pick one or two items out of each subtopic and work on those. Don’t spread yourself too thin. Of course, some things like getting speaking gigs and consulting work is much harder to come by unless you establish your expertise.
For new bloggers, ads, sponsored posts, affiliate programs and donations are probably the best to start with.
