1 ADVERTISING NETWORKS- These are the common income stream being used today. Advertising networks are the medium of the advertisers on placing advertisements in your blog. The related ads will attract visitors and prospect buyers that is why they are willing to pay on a PPC basis (Pay per Click). These advertising networks provide you with an add code that you have to paste into your blog’s template in order to show ads. When people click the ads, you’ll get paid.

One of the easiest ways to get this accomplished is to turn popular payment sites on the Web like PayPal. This user-friendly site is free. Under PayPal’s Products and Services tab, you’ll find an option which allows you to create a donate button for use on your site’s pages.

5. PAID REVIEW- This is one of the popular and profitable ways to generate additional income stream from your blog. If you can blog definitely you can write great reviews. Several bloggers sign up to popular paid blogging networks to review a product, service or even a website and of course they are being paid for each review. Advertisers are willing to pay in order to have a nice review, meaning more people will be attracted to their product or sites. Paid blogging networks acts as a bridge to connect paying advertisers with bloggers for hire. To qualify in this paid blogging networks, some requires your blog to be 1 to 3 months old, has a decent and regular post and developed some high page rank or receives some level of traffic. They pay for each article you submit. The good thing here is they pay a handsome amount of money that ranges from $5 to $200 for each approved post. This may vary depending on the advertiser and the quality of your article.

6. SELL SITES & BLOG- This is the trend now a day. People create websites that specializes on a certain niche and after building a quality sites that generate a large amount of traffic, they sell it via auction and forums. One example is the Weblogs Inc. that was sold for $25 million to Aol.

7. EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES- I have heard that some bloggers were offered of a major writer position in some foreign large companies in newspaper and publication. This can be a stepping stone and once you’re discovered, this can be lucrative.
