There are loads of ways you can make money from your blog. A lot of them you would have heard of before. Using adsense, selling private ads, selling paid reviews, selling text links, selling ebooks. The ways you can make money from your blog are almost unlimited.

I want to show you another way you can make money on your blog. This is a way I have not seen used very much. I have only seen it used a couple of times and I am only just starting to use it on my blog.

You have seen signatures in forum posts and you have seen signatures on ezinearticles but you will rarely see signatures on blog posts. Adding a signature to your blog post can be an effective way to make money. Here are a few ways you can make money by adding a signature to your blog posts

Marketing Affiliate Products

You can do a quick pitch for an affiliate product and provide your affiliate link in your signature. That way when people click on the link and buy something (or complete an offer) you make money. This is one of the easiest ways to make money from a signature

Marketing Your Own Product

If you have created your own products then this can be a great way to market them and get some extra sales. Talk quickly about your product and then add a link to the page people can buy it from.

Building a Newsletter Subscriber List

This method does not make you money immediately but you can use signatures to get people to subscriber to your RSS feed, or even better to get people to subscribe to your newsletter. Once people subscribe to your newsletter you can send them

Now I want to teach you how you can get the best results with your signatures.

Make Your Signature Relevant To The Post

There is no point me advertising weight loss products on a post about how to make money online. You need to make your signature relevant to whatever you are talking about. This way more of your readers will be interested in the product/service you are offering them.

Try To Fulfill The Needs People Reading Your Post Have

It is likely that a lot of people will read your post with a need. They might need to lose some weight, they might need to make some more money, they might need a number of things. What you need to do is tap into their need and offer them the perfect solution. Then they will be thanking you for selling you a product.

Give a Specific Call To Action

It helps if you have a specific call to action in your signature. People don’t just click on links because they are there, but people do what you tell them to do ;) . So tell them to go to this site and sign up and some of them will.

Make It Blend In.

Sometimes it pays to make your signature blend it. This is because people are now becoming so used to ads that they are ad blind. They don’t see the ads anymore. My signatures look exactly like the post I am writing and I write a new signature for every post I do, it is relevant and people just continue reading the post all the way down to the signature.

Don’t Try and Trick People

Don’t try and trick people and get them to sign up for a product you know is a piece of crap just so you can make a quick buck. This will just lose you readers and future customers. Instead, only offer top quality products that you know your readers will enjoy and love.

Offer Discounts

People love discounts or bonus offers. Offer them something special and they will just at the chance to save some money. It is not about how much it costs but how much you save.

Ok so now you should be well equipped to start creating signatures for all your blog posts and making some money from that traffic you are getting. Go through your old blog posts and add signatures, it won’t annoy your regulars (because none of them really read your old posts) and it will make you some money from the search engine traffic. This is what I plan to do with my blog.
