Make Money With Your Blogs

• Friendly. We love gabbing about blogs with advertisers. (Yes, we know that's weird.) We spend our days explaining blogs, prospecting, untieing knots, brainstorming with new advertisers, cross-selling old buyers to new blogs... if it helps put dollars in blogger pockets, we're on it.

• Rewarding. The average blogger makes $30 / $50 a month selling Blogads, with some pulling up to more than $750, $1500 or even $5000 monthly. As advertiser appreciation rises, your yield should rise. Blogads receives 30% of your ad fee, unlike other networks that charge far more or won't even tell what they take.

• Networked. Allying yourself with other quality bloggers increases your revenues. As LA blogger Matt Welch says, "Network effects will work very well here. The more participating blogs from Los Angeles, the easier it is for advertisers to make a useful, targeted group buy (and therefore pay me more money!). This also works for subjects -- media, baseball analysis, DIY music, whatever."

• Flexible. You set prices, customize design and write copy to solicit advertising. You alone decide what appears on your site.
