Profiting from blogging is the main reason that lots of people get into blogging and a useful extra income for loads of other bloggers. There are ample of ways to earn an income, though not all are available to everyone round the world.

Unfortunately, for residents of South Africa, and possibly other countries, being paid via PayPal is not an option and this will rule out stacks of the available opportunities, but even then there remain several ways to profit from your blogging.

For me, turning a blog into a profit involves 3 steps:

1. Implement the blog
I prefer to install WordPress and a set of useful, favourite, pluggins. You might have other options you prefer. But the first step it to set up the site and get it looking right. Without a good looking site, you are never going to make much of a profit. Advertisers will not want to know as visitors will leave straight away.

2. Prepare your blog
All too a lot of bloggers expect to make an income without this step, which is important. They come asking why they are not earning a huge income having only only implemented the website.

Yet, step 2 - preparing the website - is the most vital step to get right!

The first part of preparing your blog is to write posts, and loads of them! If you write 5 posts a week for 3 months, then you will have loads of material on your website that will attract search engine traffic. This is also content that they could read and be interested in.

At the same time, you should be writing articles and posting them to article directories and submitting them as guest posts to other websites. This will start to gather you some regular visitors and to increase the Google Page Rank of your site, by increasing the number of links pointing into your site.

3. Start to earn a few money.
Even if you could start to earn a few cash as soon as your blog is published, the best profits merely come when you have put the time and effort in to prepare your site in step 2.

But once you have a few regular readers, a decent page rank and loads of content to attract the search engines and readers, then you can start to sign up for schemes that will make you cash for instance:
* Google Adsense - earn cash only by traffic clicking on links that are shown on your website.
* Sponsored Posting - in return for writing around whatever an advertiser wants you to write round and linking to them, you get paid! Showing the importance of step 2, typical fees on one system I use would be $2 for a Page Rank 1 site but $9 for a website with a rank of 3.
* Affiliate Schemes - find a merchant that sells a product related to your site, talk about it, link to is and hopefully your readers will buy several, earning you a commission! If you have an international audience, then digital products let's say Click Building society products might be best.
* Sell Your Own Product - probably set it up in Click Building society or merely sell via PayPal, but you can even merely sell an Ebook of your best posts.
