You’ve been blogging now for a few years and despite the ego rush of seeing your hits soar, you’re left wondering whats the point or rather how do you finally make some cash off all that hard work.
In the beginning it can be tough when you’re not earning from your blog, but there are lots of options when it comes to monetization.
Chitika Premium is a pay-per-click ad service that specializes in search traffic. When someone comes to your website through a search engine then Chitika Premium shows them ads based on their search, which increases your CTR. If someone comes to your page directly or from a link then Chitika Premium disappears to make more room for other things, since those people aren’t interested in shopping.
Chitika Premium is a great way to increase your earnings and make more from your search engine traffic. The best part about Chitika Ads, is that it works side-by-side with Google Adsense.
Now more than ever there is incentive to create videos for the online video sharing site, YouTube. Aside from being able to connect with a large number of people and create traffic for your websites, you can now potentially earn big money from popular videos. Mashable the social media guide announced today that Google and YouTube will be rolling out the YouTube Patnership Program that will allow any video account that becomes widely popular will be able to opt-in for revenue sharing.

At some point in his or her life, almost everyone will land a minimum wage job. This is especially common for young adults who are looking for something to supplement their busy school schedules.
These jobs, like working at a fast food joint, restaurant, or in my case as a barista in a cafe, can be a good way to generate that much needed spending cash. Remember, though, you only have that cash because you are most likely still living under Mom and Dad’s roof, and therefore still have them to pay your big expenses. What happens when you’re done with school, looking for a “grown-up” job, and want to get away from Mom and Dad?
When I graduated from college this past spring, I thought that increasing my hours at the cafe to full-time would be all I needed to cover rent, bills, and car expenses—and still have some left-over cash—until I could land a great job that actually had something to do with my degree. I will be the first to admit that I’ve led a fairly sheltered life. Even I am surprised at how naive I was!
