Affiliate Sales isn’t going to make anyone an overnight success but it is relatively simple after you’ve earned your reader’s trust and have gained a little influence.
PPC/PPA - I’ll be the first to admit that working PPC and PPA can require a little skill and a lot of testing. Just throwing up ads rarely shows positive results.
Coaching - This is a favorite among many popular bloggers and some charge upward of several thousand dollars for an extended one-one coaching program.
Local Business Services - Many of us have created an income by helping local business with things like SEO, website design, blog setup and social media.
Website reviews - A lot of bloggers have taken their SEO, coding, and design skills and created a nice income from helping improve other blogs and websites.
Public Speaking - This one isn’t for everyone but blogging can help build the reputation, contacts and knowledge that could lead to public speaking gigs. Mitch Mitchell from I’m Just Sharing has been hired as a public speaker due to the reputation built from his blog.
Membership sites - Think unique service or product. For example, I paid $29/month (I think) to a keyword membership site for well over a year and never gave it a second thought to the cost because it was money well spent.
Webinars - Not only paid webinars, even a great free Webinar with the right people and information can pull in sales and leads.
Videos - Just like blogging, there are a number of ways to profit from video, both directly and indirectly.
eBooks - Ebooks aren’t just for list building, some bloggers generate thousands from a single ebook.
Mobile Apps - Blogger and iPhone app developer Benny Hsu is doing pretty well.
Software and other product sales - I know that’s a very broad range but, really, any product with true value, for the right price, and properly exposed to the right market has an income potential. My advice is to find a problem, create a product that solves that problem and build a plan from start to finish and the take action. Don’t forget to take action, this seems to me a step many people miss year and year.
