Question

Can you get paid to write/work your own blog?

Answer 1

Yes.  It's called advertisement.  Convince advertisers that enough people visit your blog to make it worth it to them to post ads there.

Answer 2

if you give interesting things in your blog, there'll be lots of visitors. therefore, people will want to advertise in your blog. then yes, you can make money.

but if you're writing about yourself, bragging about your life, etc, it's just a self expression which nobody gives rat's ***. so people wont visit, unless, you are very famous.

Yes, but not with a Y!360 blog though.

Answer 5

1.  If you have a 'big' sponsor who wants to pay you for exclusive rights to advertise on your blog you are lucky and one in a million, but it could happen.  LOL.

2.  Google Ads - they pay you for putting their ads on your page.  The pay is pretty low - an 'average' blog will take about 3-4 years to make the $100 payout goal.  (They don't pay you until you reach $100).

3.  Many sites offer blog advertisements with text or banners.  You can sign up as an 'affiliate' with thousands of companies and if they approve your blog you put the code on the page and get pennies per click or a percentage for sales of people that clicked thru the ad on your page.

4.  Sign up with a company that offers links to hundreds or thousands of affilate options.  I use one of these on my pages, but I'm not sure that I can list it here?  (Not sure of what yahoo allows and such).  

5.  Paid posts and sponsored posts.  You are paid $1-400 to write reviews of websites, products and companies.  (Don't get too excited, most pay about $5.  LOL).

I'm not sure about listing actual companies here - (what Yahoo might feel about endorsing companies?)  but I do know of some that really do pay out as I've used them on my pages for 1-4 years now.   I have some on coffeetalking.com, some on budgetbarbie.com and different ones on my recipe site, housewifebarbie.blogspot.com  -  so I know for a fact you can make *some* money on blogs.  Only really (really!) popular blogs are going to make big money though - which I know some blogs are making over a thousand a month.

Answer 6

you don't have to convince anyone with Google AdSense
