Monetization Scheme That Doesn’t Make You Sweat

by Melvin · Jun 19, 2008

Well in my entire life I have always been hearing people complaining that they are not making money with their blogs. In my own opinion that is incredibly impossible. While one may not make a lot of money from his blog, sure he can make even some cents or dollars. So getting back to monetizing, I can agree it’s hard to make a consistent income from blog but then I’m also sure that making money is very possible.

So if you have a blog that exists for a decade now and still haven’t made any money, my dear this one is for you. I’m surprised that many people do not know this things so I’m sharing it. Remember this will make you money but don’t expect this to make you money consistently. Here we go:

  1. Matched.co.uk –> You’ve probably have heard it already, maybe not. Matched.co.uk is a site that pays you 3 pounds per ad (where’s the pound sign on keyboard?). They oftentimes give up to 5 ads. The ads just look like an adsense ad and you can place it everywhere. The ugly thing is they pay monthly, so you will have to wait, and I know waiting sucks!
  2. Money4banners –> Almost exactly works the same way as the former. It gives a banner and pays you $5 for it. It’s different because the ads are a little lively but is not intrusive. As of now they are very picky with the applicants. If you have a blog as great as mine then you would probably get accepted also. Btw, I am planning to add it after the 468×60 ad from dp expires.
  3. Money4Blogs –> Well this is my favorite one. The only thing you need to do is put a link on your site/blogroll and they will pay you for that. They pay on a yearly basis. The great thing here is the link can be nofollowed. I have tested it in my basketball blog twice. The first link costs $50 for one year. The other one costs $120 for a year mainly because when I applied again my site is a pr3 and 600,000 in alexa. After putting the link they would pay you immediately, I mean really immediately. After I placed the link I went to defecate for maybe 5-10 minutes and then upon opening my paypal account it’s already there.
  4. PayPerPost –> This one sucks I believe. But this is an easy $20 to you my dear! When a blog gets accepted at PayPerPost (even if it’s a pr0 and over 3 m in alexa) you are eligible for the $20 review about payperpost.

So that are the ways to do it. Let me make it clear, I have tried all of those programs and made money from them and I can guarantee it’s very possible you can too. Why do I need to do this? For startup cost. Jason of the University Kid always emphasizes the importance of working for startup costs. And it depends to you on where and how to use it.

    I especially liked your description of Money4Blogs, where they would payout instantly. But I don’t know whether they accept 14 year old teens.

    Well, I love PayPerPost. I’ve earned $150+ from it already.
