There are literally dozens of ways to earn revenue from blogging.One very simple and straightforward method is by selling direct advertising on your site.
Among blogs selling direct advertising space the 125×125 button ad on the sidebar is arguably the most used format.However,If you are going to use other ad formats or position the ads on other locations of your website just estimate how these factors will affect the traffic that an advertiser will end up getting.Note that the format of the ad (e.g., 468×60, 120×600, 125×125) and the position (e.g., header, sidebar, footer,blended with content) are factors that will directly influence the attraction,so you should pick a format and position that is popular.This also affects how much advertisers are willing to pay to get exposed to their audiences.Remember to experiment endlessly and draw your own conclusions.What works for one blog template may not work for another,and vice-versa.
The more success you have with your blog,the more time,effort and money you are going to invest to update it and host it properly.Often,you may think,wouldn't it just be nice to have my site pay for itself?By properly monetizing your blog site it is actually possible to have it pay,not only for the hosting, but also for the time you spend working on it.
