While surfing the net I found an article about some alternative ways of making money from your blog. Since our million dollar plan is to combine many small income sources into one and decent daily income we are very interested in all possible money making ways. We haven’t tried them yet but maybe we’ll use them in the future.
So here’s a small list of ideas how to get paid for your content rather than giving away it for free:
• Sell your photos. If you regularly take photos with your digital camera, you can post those photos on line (often at no cost) with sites like ShowMeProof.com
and Shutterpoint
and be paid every time someone downloads your image
• Sell personally created objects. T-shirts, mugs and other memorabilia can be created easily at sites like CafePress.com
with easy-to-use upload software at no cost
• Make more of your writing. If you’re already writing for your blog on a topic of expertise, why not collect your work and sell published copies using print on demand technology at sites like Lulu.com
.
• Share your audio, video. If you create audio or video associated with your blog, be it music, short-films, interviews or informational, sites like Musicane
make it cheap and easy to offer your work for sale even from your own website.
“Selling your photos” doesn’t seem to be very appropriate for us, since we are not photographers and our blog content doesn’t require many photos.
“Sell personally created objects” may be a considerable way for us but mostly as a separate project. It could be an online T-shirt shop with our funny designs.
“Make more of your writing” – maybe after some years to tell others how we made a million dollars.
“Share your audio, video” – that’s also a good opportunity because video is one of my hobbies and my current job is based on event videography and some small commercials. Here’s my video for 1 minute festival if you’re interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzyjYRZtgog
