So you launched your blog, and are posting every day with interesting content, but want more out of it? Consider bringing in revenue by introducing these three methods: sponsorship, advertising, and affiliations.

Sponsorships
If you are writing about skis and skiing you could approach manufacturers (such as Rossignol) or ski areas (how about Aspen) to sponsor your site. Similar to banner advertising, sponsors get prominent placement with a great graphic. You can derive revenue monthly with this techique.

Advertising
A great way to add interest for your readers and money in your pocket, is to include content-specific advertising. There are many programs now that allow you to add this type of advertising right in your blog posts.

Some of the ones we like include:

Affiliates
Love to buy books at Amazon – if you are that skiing expert, why not sell books off your web site with them. There are plenty of affiliate programs ready to hook up with you and your blog.
