I recently had an article published in the New Writer’s Handbook.  It was about how to make money with your blog.

The interesting thing about this is that it was just a blog post I did a while back.  They approached me and I made money with my blog because they paid for the article rights and I also got great publicity by being in a wonderful book with a lot of great writers.

If you read that past article, you will see why it applealed to them.  If you are wondering How to make money blogging, you have to realize the  answer is diverse.

I have made money directly from my blog in the following areas:

• Book Sales
• eBook Sales
• Consulting
• Speaking Fees
• Membership Dues
• Article Sales – as in this example of the article making it into a book.
• Affiliate Links
• Reviews (I do not do paid reviews, but I sometimes mention clients as part of the broader effort)
•  Web hosting sales via our reseller opportunity.
• Affiliate Members
• Plus great JV opportunities that eventually lead to making money from the blog.

That does not even include all the great free PR and visibility we get.

You really need to make money blogging if you want to be able to justify the time and effort it takes to do a good job.  And if you want a good income blogging, find many different revenue steams and cultivate them.
