Social Blogging For Profit

After stopping two fruitless habits in my life recently, one being smoking and the other being a relationship of many years going nowhere, I found myself with the issue of what to do with my hands. You may laugh but as the two do go hand in hand, I decided to replace them, by taking up blogging.

As someone who is keen to share knowledge, guide others and provide sometimes too much information, I decided on a place that offered information on home based working ideas an example being 'What is Blogging and how can you make money from it'.

In my opinion, blogging can be divided into two areas, one being social and the other being profit, although the two do overlap in areas. The social side is a blog or weblog that records a journal of the blogger's views, thoughts and general impressions they have encountered in their daily life. Pictures are used to provide many a word and these blogs are distributed to friends and families or to anybody who may be interested.

The more profitable side to blogging is where the information is informative and is illustrated as perhaps an article, maybe about a particular subject or a brand for a company. These blogs are sometimes used to promote a new or existing product in a business and to encourage consumer interest by enabling interaction, feedback comments and therefore providing a more personal side.

Where the making money comes from is by incorporating advertising of other businesses products' or services by using banners in the form of affiliate marketing, where you get paid for any sales generated from the advertised product or the advertising company through the clicked banner. Sign up with Google AdSense program and your blog will display automated generated adverts from other sites that are modelled to reflect your business and create revenue via a Pay Per Click method, the amounts will vary according to the advert. Both of these example revenue streams can be used on any blog.

Finally by submitting articles to free article directories which hold a plethora of articles on many subjects by many authors, people can view and add them to their blogs and they can provide a revenue stream by driving more traffic to the author's blog via the author signature resource box which has to be included while increasing visitors to the new blog and thus creating sales and therefore making profit.
