Blogging - Using Free Blogs To Make Money

There are a number of different ways in which you can
use blogs to make money. Some blog owners constantly
put up content-intensive, frequently-updated material;
whereas others simply add a new post every once in a
while. Both models can work reasonably well at
generating revenue.

Let's look at the first model and what is required:
in order to make money with a high quality blog, you
will want to generate most of your traffic through
word of mouth recommendation, rather than through
search engine optimization, which will not give you
any benefits for producing superior material. This
means that you will want to promote your blog through
different avenues.

I personally suggest that you consider two different
avenues: 1) using social bookmarking sites to gain
steam; and 2) promoting on forums.

Doing well with the first option entails creating
something that is legitimately interesting; and then
facilitating its circulation by submitting that page
to social bookmarking sites, such as
http://del.icio.us and http://www.digg.com.
Additionally, on your blog, post a link that brings
users to a social bookmarking site on which they can
vote for your video or whatever it is you created. The
more who vote on your blog, the better that blog post
will rank on the social bookmarking system, increasing
the amount of people who read your blog.

Now, if you prefer to take a different approach – to
create multiple profitable, but low-maintenance blogs
– you can simply create a blog and purchase
information for it. For instance, you could setup a
blog about dieting; and then purchase a set of 15
articles from a ghostwriter. Every 3-4 days, you could
post a new article about dieting. Once you have a blog
running, you can then move to the next one while you
wait for the first to begin getting search again
traffic.

With this method, you will want to get natural search
engine traffic, rather than referred traffic, as the
content you post will be high-quality, but not
anything that will elicit some type of viral effect
from social bookmarking sites.

Furthermore, when generating traffic, you will want
to find ways to recycle it to ensure that your traffic
constantly grows in the future.

Last, you will want to figure out how to monetize
your blog or blogs. You can do this with advertising,
by selling products, or by setting up some type of
subscription. I personally suggest that you leave your
blog unmonetized until you begin to build a regular
base of visitors; however, if you are planning to go
the multiple blog route, you may simply want to throw
up Adsense ads immediately.
