Blogging For Beginners – Monetizing Your WordPress Blog
I see so many new bloggers not properly monetizing their blogs. This is important to do correctly if you plan to make money with your blog. Just doing a few simple things can make all the difference.
WordPress blogs are a great way to sell your own products and/or affiliate products.
The first place to make sure you are monetizing are your posts. Make sure that when you refer to a specific product or service, that you link the name of the product or service. Do Not use the words ‘click here’ by using the name of the product or service you are writing about will also help you with search engine optimization.
To do this is easy actually here is an example -
<a href=”http://nameofproducts.com”>Product</a>
When you enter the above, into the HTML area of your post, the words Product will be clickable by your visitors. Here’s a little trick to also make sure that when they click for the site to open in a new window, add target=_”blank” directly after the last ” of the link.
People like pictures so add images to your posts and blog and make sure you make them clickable as well, by adding the same HTML as above directly before the image coding and then put the </a> after the image code. This will make the image clickable by your visitors.
Another great way to sell products or services on your blog is to use the sidebars on your blog. This is easy to do by using the Text Widget, which you can find under the title Appearance of your dashboard. This Text Widget allows you to put anything inside you want. If you have a banner from a program, just copy the entire code for that banner and paste it directly into the Text Widget and click the Save button.
By adding links to specific words and images on your posts and pages, will help you make more sales and commissions.
