Wayne over at Blog Business World has a post regarding controversial ways to make money from blogging. This ties directly into my post last week regarding putting ads on my blog. From Wayne's post, here are some other money making ideas:
- Product Endorsements. Write favourable comments about products in your blog; perhaps even including them merely in passing. A link to the company website would be part of the package.
- Product Placement. A more direct product endorsement would arise from using, reviewing, and recommending Brand X to your customers.
Interestingly, if you were endorsing and reviewing products on your blog and you had contextual advertising running, you might actually be help a different company also advertise on your blog simply based on the context of your endorsement. So do you have to choose? If product endorsements and placements take off, would you be required by those sponsors not to run contextual advertising? Even better: could you get them to pay you not to?

You are right. I never mentioned your concept of being paid to remove a bad product review or negative publicity; or to remove a competitor by a higher bid for service. It's simply the reverse of what I was writing about, and possibly a more powerful idea.
To my understanding there are many sites that make money doing just thatFull Color Printing
Hi, can I call you Ross? I guess it's kind of special that I'm posting here because I'm still pretty new to blog and don't really know how to blog surfing yet. I was out search for some infor about webmasterworld but haven't had much luck so far, and since everyone calls blog "web 2.0", many have said that this is the next generation of internet, so I decided to try look for things in blog.com. and guess what? I still haven't had much luck, but your site got my attention although Blog Money Making is not a perfect much to webmasterworld. anyway, I think I'll keep going and try to understand a bit more about blogs. thanks for the reading, cheers!
