Various Ways to Monetize Your Blogs.

Other than direct sales and adsense, are there any other methods you can use to make money from your blog?

There are several, but three are used more often than any other:

Lead generation.
Affiliate marketing.
Newsletter subscriptions.

Of all the other methods you can use to make money with your blog, lead generation may be the most promising. This is especially true if the market your blog caters to is related to financial products or services.

Mortage and refinance leads are especially good, as they bring in tiered commissions. Your first commission will come when you generate the initial lead, which will simply entail having your visitors fill in a completely free form. This lead will earn you anywhere from $3 to $12, but If this lead then goes on to refinance his/her home with the company in question, you could earn a windfall of several hundreds or several thousands of dollars.

The other methods you can make money from with your blog include affiliate marketing and newsletter subscriptions. Affiliate marketing generally consists of either directly signing up as an affiliate through someone's website, or signing up as an affiliate through a third party. You will then use your blog to market this person's products for a share of the total price.

If you sell information products from Clickbank or Commission Junction, you can earn as much as 75% per sale. However, if you sell physical products, such as chairs and tables from Link Share retailers, such as Wal Mart, you will earn a 7-15% commission at best.

If these methods don't sound appealing, you can always consider newsletter subscriptions. Create an opt-in page, or a "squeeze page," on your blog and offer a trial subscription to your newsletter. If you provide quality content and promote your blog, you could end up with hundreds of subscribers over a relatively short space of time.

Other methods, not touched on here, include selling advertising space directly or selling site memberships that allow visitors to access certain server-side tools and other useful content.
