How to get a steady income from your blog

"How do you get a steady income from your blog?" This is a question that is commonly asked by "intermediate" bloggers. The reason for this is that "newer" bloggers are usually looking to make quick cash right away. This post will be about why this mindset of "quick cash now" is not the right mindset if you are looking to run a successfull online business.



The main reason that you need to stay away from "quick cash now" programs is because truly, most of them are SCAMS. Even if you do get the money from these programs, they usually take too much time and you could be making lots more money in the long run. Most of the time, these "schemes" go something like this:



"Sign up for this free program and after 3 days get $100 bonus."



Seems pretty good right? WRONG. The truth is, they have tons of little one month membership fees that they charge you just by you giving them your cellphone number. What's interesting is that you would be making more money with the following situation:

"Somebody wants to buy advertising space on your blog. It's a six month deal for $10 a month. Most people would say,"well I would be making more money with the quick deal. $100 compared to $90." Actaully, you're not. The hidden fees subtract about $30 on average. On top of that, the six month deal means that you have the chance to develop a friendly relationship with your advertiser. As a result, he may renew for another six month deal. If he sees that advertising on your site is getting him/her a lot of publicity, they migth be willing to pay a little bit more the next time around for more optimally colored or positioned advertisments
And that is how to get a steady income from your blog(develop friendly relationships with advertisers).
