1) Cost-Per-Click (CPC) Advertising Programs
CPC advertising programs are the best money making programs for most of the bloggers. They are suitable to all kind of blogs with family-friendly content regardless of their traffic level and age. CPC programs work well on blog because they display contextual ads that are highly relevant to blogs content and bloggers will earn anywhere between 10 cents to 50 cents for each contextual ads click by their visitors. With proper CPC ads optimization and consistent amount of traffic, a blogger can earn a steady amount of money displaying CPC ads on his/her blog. Google AdSense is no doubt, the undisputed king of CPC advertising programs and Yahoo Publisher Network is the closest alternative of AdSense.
2) Cost-Per-Action (CPA) Advertising Programs
CPA programs is quite similar to CPC programs except CPA programs don’t pay bloggers for each click on the CPA ads hosted by bloggers. The blogger only makes money when the visitor takes an action on the CPA advertiser website. The action can be a sign up, making a purchase, generating a lead, downloading a product and more. CPA networks pay a lot more than CPC programs, for a visitor sent by the blogger from his/her blog to a CPA advertiser website and the visitor taken an action on the advertiser site, the blogger can earn few dollar to fifty dollar depend on the niche. But CPA ads tend to work well on large traffic blogs only. AzoogleAds.com, Commission Junction and Advertising.com are some of the largest CPA networks.

Marketing affiliate programs is very common nowadays. You sign up with affiliate program of an online company, then decide whether to use the company’s text link or banner ads on your blog to promote the company’s products or services and earn affiliate commission when a visitor make a purchase through your affiliate link.

Many people credit me as the first make money online blogger. There were lots of IM before me but for whatever reason I seem to get a lot of credit. Whatever…. Either way the most common question I get is if you had to start over tomorrow what would you do. Well I can tell you how I got here and I notice its becoming a trend with others:
- You fell into your niche after trying and failing and one day started raking in the cash. (for me it was ringtones)
- You notice all these “Gurus” online talking about how to make money online but they seem out of date.
- You start your own blog under a anonymous name and start to call out these gurus. You call the products they sell scams and what not.
- You start to write guides on what is working for you and start to get a following.
- You come out of your shell and start speaking at conferences. (for me this was about 4 years ago.)
- Your original niche where you made all your money starts to die off so you start to leverage your blog following into building a REAL product.
- You start to write your own ebooks and guides (which I used to make fun of people for doing).
- You are now a guru and people attack you and call you a scam without knowing you at all. They also attack your audience saying anyone who listens to you is *sheep*
- You talk about how your blog was never supposed to be your thing and it all just kind of happened because you like what you do Read more…

2. Custom Twitter Backgrounds
Since custom Twitter backgrounds have become so popular do to their usefulness, many designers are now offering custom Twitter designs. Some designers are specializing in this service and some are pitching it to clients when they order a website.
