Make money from commissions

Another way to make money from blogging is to place advertisement and banners in your blog. When your visitors get interested in them and buys through your banner, you make money on commissions.
The key point here is that it should be interesting to your blog visitors. Hence, it should be relevant to them. That is what makes Adsense so successful, they place relevant ads. But with a bit of thoughtful thinking, we too can select relevant ads to be included. You can see an example of this at the bottom of this page. The banner there links to Amazon's Store, including the search box too.
You too can start a account with Amazon for free and create links from their tools provided. Do keep in mind that you only get paid when your visitor actually buys something at Amazon through your link. If he just browse the items and one week later, he open his browser and type "amazon.com" to buy the items, you don't get the commission. Also, don't expect very big cut in commission. It starts off at a measly 4%. But, its better than nothing and adds up to your kitty. :)
