The topic is relevant and interesting to many. Let's reason!
I see at least the following:
- Selling advertising
- RSS advertising
- Selling links
- Sponsorship
- Advertising posts
- Partnership programs
- Donations
- Blog sale
- Paid access
- Accompanying services
Now about each method more ...
Selling advertising
Of course, where do without it. Advertising can be sold:
- directly by negotiating with advertisers
- via banner banner (xs, as far as it works now)
- contextual advertising (adsense, runner, rsya and others)
RSS advertising
Essentially the same advertising, but it will be visible only to RSS subscribers, which are often more than regular site visitors.
Selling links
Essentially the same sale of advertising, but links are not always bought for the sake of advertising - more and more often lately to improve positions in search engines. Options:
- sale on line
- via brokers link (sape.ru, xap.ru, TLA)
Sponsorship
If you have a themed blog, you can find a “general sponsor of the blog”, which will cover the costs of blog support and you will have enough for a beer with salmon.

Advertising posts
Advertising posts are annoying to many, especially if they are clearly template and even worse not on the main topic of the blog. However, this is a way of earning and he has the right to exist. Advertising posts can cost from a few bucks to several thousand bucks, depending on the authority of the blog and its author. Read more:
$ 2,500 for a blog post .
Partnership programs
You can sell something through affiliate programs, which often provide javascript code to insert blocks of products on the site. For example, ozon.ru, mixmarket.ru, cj.com. Plus, tezhe dating sites that you can even integrate into your domain, or you can simply post a javascript code or iframe with suggestions.
Donations
In the west, it is quite workable and popular feature (donations). We somehow do not take root yet. It usually looks like an appeal to visitors in the style of “If you like my project, then support its development by throwing 10-20-100 bucks into webmoney.”
Blog sale
If you have a good themed blog with an impressive audience, then you can buy it with the author (or without) to include in a certain network of professional blogs or just take it under the wing of a large company in the field covered by the blog.
Paid access
If there is something exclusive on the blog that can not be displayed “for everyone”, then you can arrange paid access to this information. For example, there are
paid mailings or
paid access to the forum .
Accompanying services
Selling services on a blog topic. For example,
SMO promotion or
consulting startups .
