From pay to post opportunities to affiliate commissions and pay per click advertising our bloggers can earn cash from blogs in many ways. We will teach you how to turn your post into pure gold using the new standard in Web 2.0 that is being set by Viral Blogging.

The first thing we need to do is find out which type of blogger you are.

Type one: Personal Diary Blogger

A personal diary blogger writes about a wide range of topics and interest to them and in most cases builds their following out of people with similar taste. While the slowest growth comes from this type of blogging, it still can provide added income and will benefit from our training on traffic tactics. A PDB Blogger usually writes about 3-5 post a week but may do 7 one week and none the next.

Type two : Daily News Blog

A daily news blogger will address topics in the news, from entertainment to politics, business, or other of interest topics. Some daily news blogs focus on comics, jokes, a daily video, or even a combination of topics but in total this blogger will release 5-7 daily editions and may have multiple post per day. Some daily news blogs have more than one author with a group of friends covering different areas of interest and bringing the editions together like a online newspaper of sorts with a human touch. Earnings can be huge on Daily News Blogs covering a wide range of popular interest.

Type three: Niche Professional Blogs

A niche blog covers a single topic or group of related topics such as advertising industry and advertising design on one blog. These blogs perform extremely well because they become established as authority sites on a subject and work like industry white sheets or industry magazines. The reason a niche blog performs so well is the added benefits to search engine indexing and vital page rank. Niche post tend to hit repeatedly on the same or related keywords allowing pages and prior post to be linked in with higher relevance to the new post. A niche blog tends to get more free search engine traffic and the showing of related ads performs very well.

Advertising performance

Personal Diary Blogs will fair well with a mixture of ads. Since most personal diary blogs tend to focus on friends, family, favorite bands, or something you have read or watched recently, the best performing ads are usually entertainment, family, and relationship related. Best affiliate programs to be in would be Adsense, Amazon movies or music listings, and maybe a few favorite products from E-Bay.

Daily News Blogs will have some niche values. If you are covering news stories from TV or the newspaper, politics, or business, you can expect a larger market for business professionals and college graduates. Tailoring your displayed ads to their interest will boost the click through and thus your earnings. Affiliate programs surrounding technology, shopping, surveys, and related news stories will do well. Programs to utilize would include Adsense, Amazon Books, E-Bay, and programs such as Pay Per Post or BlogVertise.

Niche Blogs perform well in their related niche. A health and wellness blog will move more vitamins and herbal remedies, online pharmacy ads, and diet plans. A blog on technology will move the latest gadgets, computers, software, and tech industry magazine subscriptions. The one thing that is sure in this market is that 95% of your traffic will be targeted and interested before leaving the blog through and advertisement. Where the other blog types fair better using pay per click ads like Google Adsense a niche blog opens the doors to Affiliate Income that can pay even better rewards.

Affiliate program Versus PPC Publisher Network

Publisher networks pay on a basis of clicks and while sometimes the ads are not as targeted as you would like the visitor only needs to click of view an advertisement for you to get paid. With Affiliate programs you get paid on a set action where the company will either pay a set price for a lead that signs up for information, or they will pay a percentage of each sale. Niche blogs tend to pre-qualify traffic and convert more buyers and can sometimes earn in excess of 6 figures of income from affiliate programs alone. Prime example would be Home Business Niche Blogs using Click Bank, Pay Dot Com, or our own My Viral Business were a percentage of each sale converted from their traffic can pay up to 200 times the earnings of a single Adsense click.

We will talk more about affiliate programs on other editions. For now you need to decide on a blog format keeping in mind that the daily and niche blogs both require a professional commitment to be a success. They are run as a business and require work and ethics.
