5 Silent Ways To Monetize Your Blog

Blogging is a great way to generate decent money online but many of us cannot generate sufficient money because of non-targeted traffic or irrelevant ads on blogs. I am going to tell you some silent ways to make money without using too many ads on your site. By applying these methods , you will be able to monetize your blog silently without disturbing your regular visitors or new visitors.

Here I  am going to talk about 5 simple, easy and silent ways to monetize your blog that will help you to make more money from your blog. It will also help your readers to read your blog easily without seeing unrelated & unwanted ads. Here I am going to talk about these methods with the helpful resources.

1. Use Viglink or Skimlinks – Promoting different kinds of  banner ads on your blog will confuse your readers and you won’t be able to generate more clicks or sales, So if you want to make money without confusing your visitors, you should try viglink or skimlinks  to promote your affiliate website.

Both are similar but I would prefer viglink because it can monetize your all simple outbound links into affiliate links, if your outbound links have their affiliate programs. Viglink is a large affiliate network that covers all types of merchants. I mean, you don’t need to join each affiliate network one by one because viglink can monetize your all simple external links of affiliate products into affiliate links.

For example, you have joined Linkshare affiliate network to promote iTunes apple store applications , You don’t need to put affiliate links, just put the simple link of application, your link will be monetize your by Viglink. Viglink has covered  over than 15000 merchants. Okay rest of all about viglink & skimlinks, you will learn when you join any of these websites.

2. Join some high paying programs- Though viglink and skimlinks can monetize many of popular merchants but there are over than one million good affiliate products on the web. So you will need to join some cash generating programs individually. You can find over than 3000 high paying affiliate programs on Shareasale  Affiliate Network. Viglink cannot monetize all products of shareasale network, So you have to join Shareasale network to find quality affiliate programs.

After joining some high paying affiliate programs of shareasale affiliate network, you should promote your affiliate program via blogging by writing a blog post on your affiliate products, because according to a survey, 90% conversions are generated by bloggers via blog posts by writing about affiliate products instead of promoting them as banner ads. You can also join ebaypartner network advertising program where you will earn $0.27 per valid click.
