This is not a secret: if you want to monetize your blogs, you must periodically try to advertise something that blog visitors will buy.. But you know what lots of bloggers don’t realize: to make a lot of money, you must hunt down methods to automate the process of finding advertising opportunities!
Let me explain the problem that arises if you don’t automate.
I used to post fairly regularly for Pay Per Post and made about $600 in two months with very little work. However, PPP has had great success attracting many, many, many posties.
So, lately, the PPP marketplace board is covered with “Grey Bands of Disappointment”. A Postie with a PR 4 blog can waste hours and hours reloading the screen, and eventually land a $10 opp — if they were lucky!
Accounting for time wasted hunting down opportunities, I figure the pay scale drops below minimum wage. Why not just bag groceries?
Anyway, for the time being, I rarely check the Postie board; I’d rather devote that time to writing content that will eventually attract visitors to my blogs for years to come.
Then, by joining profitable affiliate programs and using ad management software, my blog will create passive income using contextual ads, text ads and affiliate programs of various sorts. (My knitting blog already generates $500 a month in passive income. And I never devoted a lot of time to monetizing that site!)
Anyway, I bet you are wondering what opportunities for passive income exist? Loads of stuff.
For example, you can find find ad management software that returns Affiliate program search results. When your site visitor buys the product that matches their search, you get the commission.
The same software can also be used to create pop-unders that appear when visitors leave your site. I haven’t tried this software, (and I don’t like pop-unders) but I did sign up for a free newsletter describing it. You can learn more by visiting: SearchFeast.
What else did I find? Software that creates contexual Clickbank Ads similar to Google Adsense ads — except you get a high profit commission if visitors buy. But guess what? You can also use the software to create contextual links to other affiliate programs and you can create a contextual ad program sell to other bloggers.
I also found a slightly different product that creates Clickbank affiliate ads based on key words you enter. This will work spectacularly if you have a blog that covers a broad range of topics and you want to deliver ads for hot new products that you aren’t necessarily discussing in your post.
To get this software, visit: ClickBank Buddy.
Once installed, all three types of software make posting high profit affiliate ads passive: you insert the scripts on your blog page and you no longer need to visit the affiliate to find the ads you need.
Clearly, all are a great ad management solutions worth investigating further!
But you are probably wondering, “What if Clickbank or other affiliates only have products targetted to webmasters? For these ad management solution to help me, I need to advertise products my site vistors will buy!”
Well… As you know, I have a knitting blog! Even Clickbank which launched itself selling software products now has products for knitters like and tutorials to help you They also have home and family products, craft products and a slew of other things that knitters tend to buy.
Other affiliates also have lots of products to fill the needs of any niche blogger.
So, whatever your niche, if you are interested in monetizing your site, you will want learn more about ad management software to help you profit.
