It is possible to make money blogging, as long as one of two main business models are used. The method which is probably most common is implemented by selling advertising space to companies that are interested in reaching the blog's readership. Another way is to promote a particular product and create a link in the mind of readers between the blog and the product. These two methods are proven to be potential money makers, provided that the owner of the blog has some marketing skills.

If you are hoping to find sponsors willing to buy advertising space on your site, you have the option of doing all the work yourself, or hiring someone to do it for you. Some bloggers in the first group take advantage of the possibility of selling space through Google's Adsense program. This is definitely one of the favorite methods as it requires hardly any work on the blogger's end. However, it is a common fact for many people to not make as much money on their blogs as they had initially envisioned.

If you can sell banner ads and sponsored links to companies, you can make a considerable amount of money. This could work beautifully for you if you have the benefit of networking with a large number of companies in the field of the blog. A person who has a strong sales personality or is able to pitch business proposal could possibly make very good money selling space to advertisers. This method, unfortunately, requires you to build a strong readership before you can even envision attracting sponsors, which means that you might work several months without getting paid.

Since blogging holds the potential for being a money maker, many companies are paying attention. Selecting blogs that offer a friendly look for their corporation is what many companies are speculating on. Many companies are following the trend of hiring professional bloggers to boost their image.

Even writers who never hoped to make money with their writing have been contacted by companies willing to pay good money for advertising their products.
