Blogging for Profit???

[Jeff Takle]

I find very few people who can articulate how they make money through blogging. Having participated in a number of worthless blogs and having written an number of articles for publication, I'm really curious about how people attempt to make money on their blogs.

I integrated our current blog directly into the home page/navigation, use cross-marketing, and web forms / polls to capture useful information and...more importantly...convert readers into paying customers.

I use Google Analytics code and set a conversion goal on successful paying subscribers to the RentingYourHome main product, in order to confirm exactly how much money we make each month from different blog posts. Some blogs don't make anything. Our best post made nearly $6,800. Critically important to know how much we get paid for what kinds of articles.

Ron and Al (and others), what do you do to make money on blogging?
