Hey people, for those who follow me through my feed via email, probably noticed at the end of each post a line talking about my birthday contest. This is possible thanks a wordpress plugin called RSS Footer, which let’s you add an extra line of content to articles in your feed, defaulting to “Post from: ” and then a link back to your blog, with your blog’s name as it’s anchor text, but you can edit this with any html code:

How this plugin will help you to monetize your blog?

This plugin is very useful to add a copyright to your feed, also may be to do a contest, you only need to use your imagination to find the way to use it. Thinking on all the possibilities, I found it useful to monetize your blog. How? well you could sell a line at the end of your RSS Feed promoting a website or service by a low cost. Despite the fact that too many people ( all your subscribers ) will read this promotion on every post from your feed, this is something that can’t be expensive for 3 reasons:

1. Is not visible for everyone: unless you be John Chow or Darren Rowse, a handful of your readers will see the promotion instead the totality of your visitors. In my case, about 100 persons will see it daily vs 15k or 40k of Chow and Rowse respectively.
2. It’s just a line: this is a little text backlinking to other website, you can’t charge a lot for it. Unless you place a horizontal banner, you can’t charge more than a text link in your blog.
3. There’s no reason three, it’s just cheap!

Ok once you know how to monetize your blog with an RSS feed line, you need the plugin right? To install it, just download the plugin zip file, unzip it and upload the rss-footer.php file to your plugins folder. Then, go to the plugins panel and enable it, it’s quite simple and it has no complications.

They buddies, here is another opportunity to make money by writing reviews. As programs like ReviewMe, Smorty, SponsoredReviews and others, Snapbomb is all about blog marketing, you can join as advertiser or blogger.

As blogger you get paid by reviewing advertiser’s campaigns. This mean that once you join to the service and add your blog, you can start to write and get paid for that, it’s simple.

How Much Your Blog Worth?

Ok this is something that I’m not agree with the program but I think my worth will increase while I write reviews and increase my PR. Actually my blog worth $3~$13 and thats very low to me, although I’m not ranked by Google I received a good mount of traffic daily, also a good quantity of subscribers. But well, lets see how they calculate your blog price:

The statistics they use to calculate a base value for a blog include:

• Traffic to the blog (how many people visit the blog)
• Blog readership (how many people are subscribed to the blog’s feed)
• Quality
• Spamminess
• Feedback/Ratings
• Community Activity

Additional Value: Targeting

The base value is then adjusted for every single campaign/opportunity based on targeting parameters provided by the advertiser. For instance, if an advertiser creates a campaign targeting blogs related to the auto industry, then a blog about cars will have a much higher value for that particular campaign. This enables the advertiser to get their message to a targeted audience and bloggers get compensated for their expertise in writing relevant posts for their blog content.

Conclusion

Some days ago I was talking with Mark from 45n5.com and he invite me to check him new project called Showyouadhere. I visited the site and the first I notice was the professionalism, it’s very simple but dynamic.

What will you find by joining to this program ?

Ok Showyouradhere is a service to buy and sell banners, I really like the platform and how is it presented.As you can see in the image beside this text, you can place in your blog/site all the kind of banners with multiple sizes:

Horizontal, Vertical and Square. In addition, you can place widgets:

The superior widget its “125×125RecentVisitors” and as you can see, with it you can earn money by showing a banner at the same time you are showing your visitors from this community, sexy hug?

The other widget it’s called “125×125Blogroll” and you can show an 125×125 ad in addition of a list with your favorite blogs. Noticed that you can only show 6 links, but what if you have more links?? don’t worry about that because you can show up to 6 blogs chosen randomly from your blogroll list.

All the payments are made with paypal, and you can buy a spot for 7, 14, 21 or 28 days, you don’t need to pay the complete month if you don’t want it.

Affiliate Program

Ok the problem is that there are too many publishers and few advertisers. Mark found the solution for that, with the affiliate program you will earn 10% of your affiliated advertisers! yes, if you refer an advertiser you will get 10% of what he spend, this mean that if he earn $10 you will earn $1, imagine if you refer an advertiser and he spend $1000 per month on ads, you will earn $100 per month!
