One of the ways to get out of debt is to use the assets or abilities that we have, as I posted here. While my wife bakes, I blog. I never really thought I could earn blogging. I started this blog just to try what the fuss was all about. Then, a long-time blogger told me that I could earn from doing this. I was like “who would want to hire me with my mediocre writing,” and “nobody ever reads this pathetic use of space in the Internet.” But it never hurts to try right. And I’ve been rewarded. Greatly. Much more than I thought.
Two days ago, I came across this site called Pepperjam Network that offers website owners (publishers) the capability to partner with advertisers on a pay-per-performance basis. I’m relatively new to blogging and how to monetize my blog, so I’m trying very hard to get a grasp of things. So how does this work? Well, basically (from what I can understand), it’s an affiliate marketing type of service. Publishers will display merchants or advertisements on their site, and when a visitor purchases items through their site they get a percentage of the sale. The site has this Pepperjam Store Builder that helps publishers build storefronts on their site. Apart from that, publishers can earn from text links, banners, and other forms of media that they can feature in their site. Here’s a screenshot of the Pepperjam Network’s advertisers.
Not too shabby right? So I signed up, and I’m currently waiting if my application gets approved. I just hope this doesn’t need installing some tricky blog interface or widget. I will provide an update though if this works me.
