Monetize Your Blog
By Jennifer Hale

Whether you are blogging for fun or blogging for income, monetizing your blog is simple and can prove to be very lucrative.  Actually, companies will provide you with links or codes to get started, and registration is generally quick and easy.  Remember, we never recommend a company that asks you to pay to become an affiliate with them. Try starting off with a few of these affiliate programs and please, let us know if you find any others that are worth sharing.  If you do decide to sign up with any of the companies listed below, please use our links - that way we can get credit for the referral and continue to help support work from home moms!





My Likes has some great "likes" to select from and it’s an easy $5 a week.  At My Likes you choose what you want to "like". Each "like" will have an amount that you will be paid per click. After you choose your "like", you create a tweet about your "like" then choose to post on Twitter, Facebook, your blog or for maximum exposure you can choose to post all 3.  Payments are made every Friday to Paypal as long as you have a minimum of $2 in your account. They also offer a referral program but the person that you refer has to only have a certain amount of Twitter followers to be eligible.  And as always the bonus is that sign up is quick and easy. 




Social Spark offers publishers/bloggers a couple different options to earn money.  The first option is to accept an offer from an advertiser and write a blog post for them.  They make it convenient for you since you get to set your preferred rate for writing posts and determine which offers you accept.  The second way to make money with this program is to refer other publishers and advertisers to Social Spark.  The minimum payout is good at only $50 and can be made through paypal.

Most small business or website owners could use email marketing to boost their sales and visits.  This affiliate program pays its affiliates with commissions for all recurring payments made on accounts they refer.  The commission rate is 30% and the good news is that there are always businesses that need to improve their presence on the web. Online email marketing services from AWeber can help them make the most of their business while providing a commission to you, and the payout is low at $30!
