JOIN AFFILIATE PROGRAMS

Once you get some traffic to your site, you can think about apply to some Affiliate

Programs.

Just remember, have at least a dozen posts on your blog before applying.

Networks like to see blogs with lots of content. Do not apply if you don't have at least a

dozen posts up because you'll be rejected.

Make it easy for the networks to confirm that you own the blog.

The easiest way to do that is to apply with your own domain email address. In other words,

use you@yourblog.com.

If a network cannot confirm blog ownership, they will reject you. If you do not have your

own domain name, then make sure you have the email you use listed on your blog's

contact page.

The biggest scam ad networks face is scammers applying with someone else's blog. The

easier it is to confirm that you're the blog owner, the faster you'll get approved.

Apply for more than one network. Ideally, you should apply to all the networks listed here.

Do not put all your eggs in one basket. The key to make money by blogging is to use as

many revenue channels are possible while still preserving the user experience.

While you're waiting for approval, keep updating your blog.

Many ad networks will visit your blog more than once and seeing a new post when they

visit again is a good thing.

Here's the list of ad networks I currently use on my blogs.

· Google Adsense: The most popular and best pay per click advertising network is

run by Google. At beginning in your way to make money blogging Google Adsense
