There are three major types of business models that
entrepreneurs use to make money by blogging:

1. The first and most common way to turn a blog into a profit making machine is to sell advertising to different companies and brands who want to reach that blog’s readers.

2. The second kind of money making blog is one that helps a single brand improve its image by creating
positive associations between the blog and the product in the mind of consumers.

3. Promoting affiliate products.

If you are blogging for selling advertisement space, you can go about recruiting sponsors for the ads on your site, or, you can outsource the work and let somebody do all the leg work. The advantage of this program is, it requires very little effort on the part of the blogger or webmaster to begin raking in profits. However, most people discover that they make less money through this method than they had hoped that their blog would earn.

Selling advertising directly to companies who want to put banner ads or sponsored links on your blog can take quite a bit of time, but it is often fairly lucrative. If you have a lot of contacts in industries that are related to the topic of your blog, you may want to try to go this route. People who have a strong background in sales and are experienced at pitching proposals can make quite a bit of money by renting blog space to interested companies. The most serious problem with this model is that you often have to build quite a sizable readership before you can attract advertisers, which can mean that you have to
do several months of work before you start to make money blogging.

A lot of established companies are capitalizing on the blog movement  by having blogs that provide a kindof friendly face for their corporation. Often, a company will employ an established blogger to create a blog designed specifically to appeal to that company’s customers. More than one writer who never even dreamed that he or she could make money blogging has been approached by  companies and offered quite a pretty penny for this kind of gig.
