Make money by blogging...big time

This post stems from a question a reader had about making money by writing online.
A few of the top ways to earn income from blogging that I have come across include:
  • affiliate sales (you sell products for another company and earn a cut)
  • ebook sales
  • indirect sales via consulting and speaking
  • advertising
    • programs such as Google Adwords
    • paid text links
    • sponsored links and banners
For a great post on the topic (more comprehensive), visit this post by advertisespace.com

If you're interested in writing as a source of income and want to get your feet wet in the realm of professional blogging here are two sites to check out:

http://www.johnchow.com One of the more popular blogs on the net
http://www.problogger.net Australian Pro Blogger Darren Rowse runs one of the best blogs I've come across about making money blogging.

The links above should give you a good start.

PS: if you've checked out the links above and aren't sure what to do next, sign up for a free blog at www.blogger.com or www.wordpress.org
