Blogs can provide you with ways to build up your online income. As your blog grows in popularity, you will have people asking to sponsor posts on your site.

Imagine if you could add a small sponsor ad onto two blog posts each week at $30 per ad. That could represent $240 a month extra income in your pocket.

Your newsletter can be sold at a reasonable price. A low price of $1 – 2 per subscriber is enough to make you money. Okay, for example, you have decided to charge $1 per copy and mail out two issues a month. In the end, 150 people sign up to receive issues. That is $300 a month for just a little bit of extra work every couple of weeks. The beauty of small projects like these is that when you find one that can be scaled up, it can easily be grown into a six-figure business.
Blogging can help you to increase the number of links pointing to your products and sites.
