If you blog to make money there are many, many ways you can do that. Most people start out by using AdSense, because it’s easy. However, AdSense may not be the most profitable way to make money.

This excellent video with Shoemoney SEOmoz | Whiteboard Tuesday - SMX West Interviews: Jeremy Schoemaker on Monetizing Your Blog is worth watching:

“Shoe is a true internet marketing superstar if ever there was one. He’s also a great guy and a horrible influence in the wee hours after any conference.  He was kind enough to join Rand for a few minutes to discuss something he most certainly knows a thing or two about: blog monetization.  If you have a blog, want a blog, think the word blog is neat, or just like Whiteboard videos, watch and learn.  As Shoe will tell you in the video, AdSense is not the answer! There are much more effective ways to squeeze some coin out of all those hours you spend blogging.”

Whether you’re a new blogger, or have been blogging for years, you’ll learn a lot about how to squeeze profits from your blog.

When “cash for blogging” options arrived a year or so ago, there was an uproar in the blogosphere. Traditional bloggers believed in blog purity. Get paid to post on their blog? Never! Bloggers who cheerfully accepted payment were derided.

Times change. In “The Haunting Archives of Ethically Driven Publishers” Aaron Wall comments that “advertising techniques that were once unethical are mainstream a year or two later” and bloggers now accept payment for reviews and other sponsored posts.

Bloggers have always been paid for blogging in one way or another, even the purest of the pure. Now bloggers accept commissions to blog reviews, or anything else, and why not?

Sites to explore for paid posts on your blog

* Sponsored Reviews

* PayPerPost

* LoudLaunch

Of course, you can also contact sites in your niches and offer to review products. Set a price for your reviews first.

I heard of the fake blog “Wal-marting across America” via B.L. Ochman’s “Strike Two for Edelman PR as Their Second Fake Wal-mart Blog is Revealed”.

It’s a train wreck. Why, oh why, would anyone do this? I feel for the two bloggers, who are incredibly naive, even though one (a staff photographer for the Washington Post, no less) is 58 and other other 42. She’s a freelance writer who burbles happily on the “blog”:

They didn’t just give us permission. They said they would even sponsor the trip! A blog seemed the perfect medium to tell those stories - a perfect way to present a diary of my trip. I would post about the trip, not after the fact but from right out there on the road. And even more exciting, no editors! What writer could say no to that?

Geez… It’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry.
