Blog is a place that people used to express their feelings, share experiences and opinions. At the same time, we can also earn some pocket money through blogging. There are many monetization methods out there that we can follow to earn some extra money from our blog, but we don’t know which method works well for our blog and which method brings the most earning to our blog. Of course, your blog must be worth reading, informative and containing of unique and outstanding content. If you know how to do that, even a personal blog can make money from blogging, it depends on how you manage it.
Basically make money blogging doesn’t mean you must talk about make money blogging in your blog, you can create a blog and talk about many other niche topics like food, technology, games, internet marketing, etc. In order to make money blogging, attitude is very important, especially patient. Nowadays, many bloggers quit blogging when they can’t make money through their blog. It’s a very common issue.
There are many sources of making money through your blog on the web, the common and popular one is through Google Adsense. Besides of Google Adsense, of course there are many other advertising companies that work together with you to make money through your blog.

The click through rate (CTR) is depend on how much the advertiser pays to advertise in your blog.
To make money blogging with Adsense, it’s really rely only your blog’s traffic and search engine optimization. Why? Because Google pay you if your readers click on the ads, you must have huge traffic and good search engine ranking to get maximum clicks from your visitors.
You’re not allowed to click on your own adsense ads, or else you will get banned. I recommend you to read Google Adsense Terms And Conditions before you start with it. Read and understand it, and you will be safe to make money with Adsense.
2) Nuffnang Malaysia | Asia First Blog Advertising Community
Nuffnang is a Asia Advertising Company in Malaysia, basically Nuffnang only recommended blogger to sign up their program, but I think forum owner and webmasters are able to make money with it as well.
Basically it’s very easy to make money with Nuffnang, after you’ve signed up with them, you have to just place the graphic ads on your blog, the graphic ads will appeared while they have advertiser that time. Nuffnang will pay you if your readers click on the ads, the rate per click is depend on what member status are you, you can get maximum earning if you become their Glitterati member.
Other than make money through the graphic ads that pay per click, Nuffnang will also assigns you some campaign ads that pay in CPM basis (Cost Per Impression) which mean Nuffnang will pay you certain rate per 1000 page impression. We call it metered campaign, previously I also wrote an article about Nuffnang Metered Campaign, I did spot out the differences between “Real Campaign” and Metered Campaign.
If you wan to get more metered campaign from Nuffnang and make more money, you have to follow their rules.

The rate of a link sold is depends on how much the advertiser pays for it, once you get the first advertiser, the advertiser will buy the same text link for few months and you can get a decent income monthly. TLA pays you by monthly basis, they will pay you once the text link is fully placed on your blog post for a month. TLA will send you an notification email to tell you that there is an advertiser would like to buy a text link in your blog post, you can either approve it or reject it.

That’s not only the advertising company that I listed can make you money, there are tons of advertisement networks out there that you can sign up and work together. Bear in mind, traffic is the key and you must drive traffic to your blog and money will flow in automatically.
I’m not going to tell you which advertisement network can make you the most money, you have to experience it yourself and find out which network that works well with your blog. Some of them make more money by writing paid post, some of them make more money by selling ad spot, and some of them make more money by selling text links. Until today, no one could justify which network makes you the maximum earning for your blog, you have to go through the trial and error process. I’m sure you get what I mean.
Which advertisement network that you’ve been working with? How’s the result?

Hi! I´m new to this and serious in making money online!
– But one maybe stupid question…I just read the google-adsense guidelines and I´m kind of insecure: Am I allowed to ad the google adsense to my blog AND somethin like you recommended up here, like the TNX and so on?
Thanks! And thanks for the blog! Happy I decided to try this also, because I reeeallly need money
@margarita,
Sorry for the late reply as I’ve almost missed out your comment. Regarding your question, you can put up Google Adsense and TNX together, but TNX is kind of selling text link, so you may lose your PR if you take this, unless you don’t mind about your PR. Between, I’ve dropped TNX and TLA because I love my PR more than them.
any advice?
I have use TNX on a few of my blogs and it actually pays pretty well. I probably make $20-30 a month from them which is nothing to sneeze at.
Tom@Free Squeeze Pages´s last blog ..The Aweber Code….And Why You Need To Promote It!
@Tom,
TNX was one of my income source years ago, but I took it down after getting penalized by Google from PR2 to PR0. And I got back my PR3 2 months after taking down TNX. No doubt, it’s easy to make more money with TNX if you have high PR, but you might be playing fire with Google with your PR too. I have no idea too, some people who is using TNX and doesn’t get penalized by Google too.
Just for info, that TNX is no more worth for money gainers. It affects google rank and not bringing so much visitors. Its good to try though as to get hundreds of external links. While most of it may not be in good quality. But most of the recommended way in this post is excellent. Tried most of it. Thanks for the different approach.
wptidbits´s last blog ..Protect Wordpress Against Malicious URL Requests
@wilson,
I got to agree with you about TNX. I’ve tried TNX and made some good money from it, unfortunately Google penalized me for selling text link, this was why I ditched it years ago. Nevertheless, there are still some bloggers doing well with TNX without penalized by Google, perhaps they are lucky not to be caught.
Thanks for your comment here wilson!
Great post! I’ve only tried using Adsense on blogs, with limited success. I’ve never thought about selling space, but that just seems like a more difficult, but potential higher payout route to take!
