Hi Lawmacs,
I am using Google AdSense for monetization of my blog and also want to use affiliate ads on the same blog but I am not sure that whether it is allowed or not by Google Adsense.
And secondly, I couldn’t get your 2nd point, what is sponsored post and where can I find sponsors for it.
Hi Nazimwarriach Good to know that you are monetising your blog with Adsense. Let me explain a sponsored post is when an advertiser pays to put a link to their website on one of your post. Normally advertiser will contact you. Thanks for your comment.
Yes, I agree. Blogging provides you a great opportunity to make money online and monetizing your old posts certainly looks one of the better ways to make it happen. I’ve tried experimenting the same to some of my old posts. Results have been good but not excellent. Adding affiliate links, placing Google ads in your blog content, the old and the most popular ones can really help you make some money online if done smartly 😉
Monetising your old post can certainly make you money online for some the results will be better than others however finding the right post that brings the most traffic is the key idea Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Blogs do help you in earning money online.I have tried affiliate marketing as well as sponsored posts.
I have not been able to earn money from affiliate products.
Affiliate marketing is a great way of making money online however this is not always a straight forward as it seems. Keep doing what you are doing the end results will come.
When you mention it, I have been hearing more about monetizing your archive. But the people who were talking about it never mentioned what that meant, really. Thanks for the explanation and suggestions!
