And blogging was one of the ways which i mentioned through which one can actually make money from the internet. Blogging is actually one of the fun ways through which you can make money from the internet. This is because you are been paid for doing something you like.



WHAT IS A BLOG?
According to my own definition and the definition which i felt will suitable for beginners, a blog refers to a website with posts/entries with the most recent post/entry appearing first. You can say a blog is like a journal/diary but meant to be shared with the rest of the world.

If you have passion for writing or you want to share your thoughts with others and you are looking for that medium, i think blogging is for you. Your blog can consist of any niche(particular field) all the way from fashion, sports, technology down to even adult contents.

And the best part of owning a blog is that you can actually earn a living from (become a full time blogger). Blogging pays as good as any job out there does. There are many ways through which you can make money from blogging but am only going to highlight a few of them below.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY FROM BLOGGING.

1. FROM SHRINKING AND SHARING LINKS.

If you are a beginner in the internet world, then this might sound strange to you. But if you already know about this, i would still suggest you read through in order to see new available URL shrinking sites.

A URL or LINK is the address of a website found on the address bar of your browser. To shrink a url simply means to reduce the length of characters in it. Some links can contain up to 30 characters and copying links like that is sometime stressful.

Sometimes, friends might share links like this http://adf.ly/1mXU2l  with you and you might be wondering what short of link it is. Well it is a normal link but has been shortened/shrinked. If you click it, it will still take you to it's original website but after introducing you to an article for 5 seconds.

You can make a lot of money from shrinking and sharing links as a blogger. All you need to do is to post something new or copy one of your old post's link, shrink it and then start sharing it to your friends on social media.

Several websites offer link shortening and sharing services for good prices and am going to list a few for you. We have Adf.ly, LinkShrink, Shorte.st, Ouo.io, LinkBucks,Blv.me, Uskip.me, adYou.me, BinBucks, Fas.li, AdHy.pe.

You don"t really not need a blog in order to make money from shrinking and sharing links, but having a blog gives you the advantage because you get to receive visitors on your blog and actually make money from it.


2. AFFILIATE PROGRAMS.

Becoming an affiliate is one of the best ways of making extra cash from your blog. An affiliate is someone who refers/brings people to a particular business in this case, an online business while affiliate program refers to you bringing people or referring people to a business and you receive commission per sales on the the people you referred.

For example: Mr A Brings Mr B to make a purchase at ugoxy.com through his referral link. In this case, Mr A is an affiliate, Mr B is the customer been referred and ugoxy.com pays Mr. A for bring Mr. B to purchase their product. So it's that simple. 

That is how affiliate programs works. You are simply been paid for bringing customers for a particular business. 

As a blog owner this comes in handy. All you need to do is place some ads on your blog and when your visitors click on it, it takes them to the website, they make their purchase and you get your money.

It is advisable to place picture ads so that your visitors can easily see it and pick interest.

You could write a book and sell it on your blog to your readers. Provided they see you as a good writer based on the fact they always read your post, they won't hesitate to purchase your product.

4. PLACING INDIRECT ADVERTS.

This is actually the key method of making good money from your blog. Almost all bloggers are currently using this method because it pays more.

All you need to do to start making money through ads is to apply to any online ads company, they will review your application as well as your blog. If it meets the minimum requirement for ads, you will be accepted and ads will be placed on your blog but if it doesn't, your application will be rejected and will have to apply again later.

There are two ways to make money from indirect online Advert. They are CPC and CPM.

• CPC stands for Cost Per Click. It is also known as PPC (Pay Per Click). In this method, you are been paid per click i.e for each click you get from visitors. That is why it is advisable to increase the number of visitors you get daily in order to increase the chances of your ad been clicked.

• CPM on the other hand means Cost Per Thousand Impressions. You can also call it CPI(Cost Per Impression). Cost Per Impression simply means you get paid anytime your ad is been viewed. You are been paid per viewer while in CPM you are been paid per 1000 viewers.

NOTE: It is a crime to click your ad or use any illegal means whatsoever to generate clicks on your ad in order to make money. If caught, you could be blocked for life from from the ad company.

So you just need to choose the ad type that suits your taste. You can choose from any of the ad company below: Google Adsense, Infolinks, Bidvertiser, Clicksure and so on. There are so many but these are just the few highest paying ad network at the moment.

This is last method in this post on How to make money online from blogging. This is arguably the best and the highest paying method.

Here, companies after seeing your  blog if they are impressed, could decide to contact you and place their ads directly on your website without going through Google adsense or any other online advertising company.

If you successfully get any company to place ads on your blog, It is now left for you to discuss the terms of your payment with the company and these companies tend to pay higher.
