How to Get Paid for Advertisements on Your Blog or Website

1. Sign up with an online advertising partner such as Google AdSense, Chitika or AdBrite. These advertising businesses provide advertising blocks that you place on your blog or website. When a reader clicks the link, your corresponding account is credited. Once you reach the payout threshold, you get paid.

2. Place in-text links to advertisements from websites such as Kontera, AdSter and Infolinks. The advertising partner provides a piece of code for you to upload to your blog. The code scans the words in your blog post or article for keywords. The code then attaches a hyperlink to one or more of the keywords. An ad block appears when your reader scrolls over the link. You get paid into your corresponding account when a reader clicks the link.

3. Approach businesses relevant to your blog niche and sign them up to place ads on your blog or website. They pay you a set fee on a monthly basis to advertise on your website. Where pay-per-click advertising works at the whim and click of your readers, sponsored ads are guaranteed income.

4. Use video ads for your video blog or website. Advertising publishers like Brightroll, YuMe and Google Video Ads allow you to place ads or commercials before your videos. Payment for video ads depends on the publisher you use. Some use pay-per-click, others use pay-per-engagement. You'll need to know the details about the specific publisher you sign up for. All your earnings go into your account, which is paid out when you reach the payment threshold.

5. Join an affiliate network. You place links or banners to your affiliate partners in your blog posts or sidebars. When a reader clicks the link and purchases an item, you get a commission for referring the sale to your affiliate. Common affiliate sites include Linkshare, Clickbank, Shareasale and Google Affiliate Network.
