One way to make money blogging is via paid post services like Smorty, Payperpost, Sponsoredreviews and SocialSpark and so I do. The problem with these services is that sometimes opportunities just seem to dry up and there are too many bloggers chasing too few posting opportunities. There are several other services available in this category too outside of the four mentioned which are the ones I use (see reviews of each service posted on this site).

Partly the issue is that to qualify for a good stream of opportunities you need highly ranked blogs and that comes back to traffic - the more traffic you have, the more highly ranked your blog becomes.

But when the opportunities dry up what can a blogger do to make some money? Well, there are several ideas posted on this blog including selling matched advertising via Matched or using click through advertising services like Google. Again, with the latter, it's all about traffic too. The more traffic, the more click throughs and the more money you will make.

So how can you make constant money on a low traffic site? Frankly, there aren't that many ways. But - getting people to sign up for affiliate programs is certainly one. The idea is that you get folks to sign up for programs and they make money (it costs them nothing to sign up as your affiliate) whatever your website traffic. Sounds great doesn't it and it would be except that my experience is that very few people actually sign up to affiliate programs. In theory, this seems to be a way to make money irrespective of traffic but you do need whatever traffic you have to actually sign up for the programs.

You can sign up for some affiliate programs and help me out by visiting this link and this link. It costs you NOTHING to sign up....
