MAKING MONEY ONLINE

     There are many ways to make money from home.  So are understandably easier than others.  I have chosen to monetize this blog to learn the ins and outs of making money by placing advertisements on the blog and letting my readers buy the products or services offered by my advertisers.  The hard part of this is getting traffic. the right traffic, to the blog.  

     There are plenty of ways to get traffic to the site,  Some I have tried and some I have yet to try.  Of the ones I have tried I have had some success.  

     I began on Facebook.  My friends and family are supportive and Like/Share my posts, but the views to my blog were very low. 

      I also set up a Twitter account and began to get followers.  As the followers grew on Twitter the hits to the blog grew by leaps and bounds. 

      I also tried Google Adwords.  Adwords did send me traffic but at the moment I need to increase my base revenue to be able to afford advertise the blog in that way.  That being said, if I were selling a product instead of ad space on my blog I would lean towards that or maybe even some form of Email advertising such as Constant Contact.  I would love to hear from some of you that have tried any of these.  Share your successes and failures so we may all learn.
