Selling posts on your blog for some extra money:

Bloggers are always looking to maximise the income from their blogs. There are various methods of monetizing your blog. Peel ads, adsense, sponsored column on the right, top yellow sponsored bar, Selling links on home page, selling links on individual posts and selling the posts altogether.

One company which helps you connect with people who would like to sponsor your blog posts is PayPerPost.com

The amount you can get paid for your sponsored blog post will depend upon:

1) Page Rank of your blog

2) Traffic to your blog

3) Subscribers to your blog feed

4) Your blog’s category

Sponsoring a blog post on a popular blog has many advantages:

1) Easily promote your new product

2) Reach out to the thousands of RSS Subscribers

3) Increase Sales

4) Recruit Affiliates if you have a good affiliate system

5) Link Juice (For SEO Purposes) as it looks like a natural link

6) Have the required anchor text

So its a win win situation for both the blogger and the sponsor. The blogger gets paid good money and the sponsor can spread word about his new product launch or his regular website. In case of sponsoring forums in guest posts, the sponsor can recruit a lot of members for his forum. And it is very profitable to get members for your website in the long term.

Bloggers may be paid anywhere from $10 to $500 for a single sponsored blog post on their blog.
