First of all I want to know if someone out there has made any money with a blogging platform like wordpress and a get rich follow-up program. These programs can always guarantee that you will make 123,213213.122 $ in just 6 months with no work what so ever.

Well tell you the truth, I never bought any of those programs, and never made a dime with any of the schemes (I`ve read them tho). The only money I make is explained in the points below so make shure to read them carefully.

There are a definite few ways of getting your blog monetized. Some are harder to implement, some are easier to implement.

My list of ways to make money blogging on WordPress

#1. Adsense. The easiest and best performing ad solution for any blog (except with adult content). Adsense is the Google Advertising Center where you get paid for displaying ads on your blog. It`s as simple as that, and you can head over and sign-up for a Adsense account right away.

#2. Chitika. The program doesn’t work on every blog, and it has a minimum traffic level for acceptance, Chitika made my day on some other websites that I helped develop, and along with Adsense it`s a great earner so I would recommend checking it out.

#3. Text Link Ads. Wee, TLA, one of my best earners in the text link ads for blogs. More and more users say that TLA is a better network aven than Adsense when it comes to earning with text. Another great tool is the feedvertising (Rss feed ads) that TLA includes. You don’t need to be a traffic guru to be accepted, but a little PR and some SE presence is required.

#4. Envato Network. This is affiliate money making with Envato. You know the network has 5 websites, and you can promote stuff on all 5. A theme website, flash website, audio, graphic and video. The income is very very good if you know hot to do it. And here is how you should do it with the help of a free report.

#5. Private Ad Deals. Make shure to include some options for these also. They can bring a small amount of income but well worth it if you have a decent traffic blog. you can automate thing by signing up @ buysellads.com

These 5 things monetize my blogs every month, more or less. I do not spend a dime on paid links, AdWords or any other promotional services. The only things I bought are the Problogger Ebook – 31 Days to Build a Better Blog and the preorder for the SmashingBook.

Have fun making money with your blog, and drop me a line below if you found something interesting, I truly appreciate it.

Now, we all are humans, and humans need fuel just like cars. In this post you will learn 5 of the most benneficial drinks to have when you are blogging, posting, comenting or doing stuff on twitter. Now remember to drink responsively and don’t drink and drive.

Something lite

I don’t know if you like Mountain Dew, but in my house this is the drink to have when I sit at my comp writing stuff.

Coffe time

Remember those nights when you made the long post lists “101 plugins to use on wordpress”? Well for those I recommend coffe, not much but a little to keep you going.

Energize

These are my favourite when it comes to fatigue. Use them carefully because you can get a little hyperactive and start bashing the keyboard.

Best beer in the world

Its healthy to have one from time to time, or two. I personally recommend Heineken, best beer in the world for blogging.

Strong nuke blast

Struggling on that new post? Sit down have a Jack and get back on, when I am out of ideas I have a shot of Jack and get on my feet again. Just don’t get super happy with it because you shall not write s***t.
