What I have been writing so far is on how to create a conventional blog. You write anything that you like in your blog and monetize it using pay per click advertisement such as Adsense, or selling affiliate products related to your topics. However, a blog can actually be used for many other purposes. I will roughly explain some ideas that I think you might be interested in.

1) BANS – Build A Niche tore
Firstly, a blog can be used as a BANS. If you are not familiar with the term BANS, it is basically mini site selling products from eBay or Amazon. The site is automated because it can take the feed directly from eBay or Amazon. You can easily create a BANS using a wordpress blog and some plug-ins. BANS is very easy to earn some good money given that you know how to SEO your BANS and you are able to find a good niche. If you are promoting eBay goods, you will be able to earn $25 for every new eBay member (they are required to bid at least once within 7 days of registration) and commission from the transaction fee. However, I suggest that you can sell some high value products so that you can earn more commission.

2) Affiliated Product Landing Page
Some people use a blog as a landing page for product. They can either post some reviews of the product with a cloaked link to the sales pages or write some good posts to attract more people to opt-in to the newsletter or subscribe to the RSS feed. Blog is a very good landing page because it gives the visitors an appearance that it is created by a “neutral” and real person. Therefore, this can increase the thrust of the visitors and the credibility of your product. Besides, Google loves fresh content. Blog means a platform for regularly updated content. Therefore, you can easily get high rank for some low competitive keywords, given that you update your blog regularly.

3) A Blog Merely To Get High PR And Sell Links And Blog Post
LOL, the name is pretty long. Basically, this is a kind of blog that people created just to achieve a high PR and then sell some sponsored links and blog post linking to other people’s website. You can see this method being widely used at Digitalpoint Forum. I’m not really into this because I find that the return of investment is very low as it is very time consuming. Therefore, I does not research deeply into this area too.

In conclusion, you can actually find more ways to earn money using your blogs. Just keep in mind that it is pretty vital to get some good targeted traffic before you can see a sale. Therefore, I recommend everyone to at least learn some SEO techniques such as keyword research, how to write proper title tag before really get into the world of blogging.
