Earn Money With Blogspot by SagarGanatra

If you find yourself attracted to a career in blogging, then you’ve probably asked Google about whether you can earn money with Blogspot. While the search engine doesn’t provide a concrete answer – the truth is, yes, you can.Take note that while we are discussing about the earning potential of this particular platform, our focus is on the .blogspot variety, rather than those who merely employ the platform to post and publish new posts. WordPress is another great example of such a platform, where you may similarly use a .wordpress web address, or just use it as a content management system (CMS). FYI – this blog runs WordPress, and I don’t plan to switch any time soon.
Understanding the difference between using Blogspot as your hosting provider and using it as a CMS is essential. You can read more about it in here – Domain Name And Hosting Tips For Your First Blog.
Now, let’s look at the monetization options with this particular blogging platform.

Methods To Earn Money

• Google Adsense

As always, Google Adsense is your best bet to earn some money from your Blogspot blog. Since both these platforms are provided by the Internet behemoth (Google), you can expect some neat and convenient integration here. All you have to do is to sign up for an Adsense account, and put you ad script in at the desired locations.
When doing so, it’s important to study user habits. If a visitor tends to visit page B before page A, it is a good idea to monetize page B better. Not all users will even reach page A, let alone click ads there. This is just a simple example, using web Analytics is important to understand deeper usage patterns and trends.
Without a doubt – Google Adsense is, and will be, your number 1 option.

• The Amazon Affiliates Program

Anyone who has been on the Internet for long enough knows that Amazon forms the central hub of all shopping that is done online.  It offers pretty much everything, and what’s even better is that it ships most products worldwide.
The Amazon Affiliates program allows you to sign up with the site and promote their products. If somebody buys a product after clicking on a promotion on your site, you get a commission for that sale. To help you sell their products, the company offers various options that are very effective to attract buyers. I can personally vouch for its effectiveness.

• Other Affiliate Programs

Amazon is not the only choice when you are an Indian looking to make money online. You can sign up on the many options out there that include Commission Junction, Clickbank, etc. Here you will find products ranging from ladies shoes, to even automated Twitter bots.
But remember – it’s important to first understand how these services work before you choose to market any product. You might earn nothing with a certain product, while another blogger might make a few lakhs. Don’t worry though, I’ll follow this post up with some guides detailing how to chose an affiliate program.

Disadvantages Of Blogging With Blogspot

Using this CMS for blogging certainly has its disadvantages. Primary among them is that fact that if you don’t have a domain name of your own, people tend to not take you seriously. It’s just how the Internet works. Imagine the effectiveness of this blog if I’d chosen to go with bloggingindia.blogspot.com. Doesn’t sound very credible now does it?
It can get especially difficult to convince people to buy things that you recommend when you opt for free hosting. Therefore, don’t get disheartened by the lackluster response at first, it will grow and I’ll help you do just that.
Another issue many people have with this platform is the fact that it isn’t as flexible as WordPress, Joomla and Drupal. While you can make a few changes, if you really want to create a unique user experience, this shouldn’t be your hosting provider and CMS of choice.
Remember though – as a beginner, it’s important to start with minimal complications. Spend a good 2-4 months experimenting with this beginner’s platform. You can always automatically redirect your audience to a unique domain name once you’re ready to go big in the blogosphere.
When you’re trying to get people to click on advertisements online, it is important to provide a comfortable user experience. If you just push ads in every blank space on your page, your visitors would not only NOT click them, they probably will not return to your blog.
