Paid Content
Paid content is a good monetization method for bloggers that regularly offer useful information — especially if this information helps others make money. As with all monetization methods, it's all in the approach. Don't create misleading previews of content that requires a membership to read in full. Rather, devote special sections of premium content to readers who are willing to pay for the information.
- E-Books: Whether it's a compilation of your best tips or a new idea altogether, an e-book is a good, reader-friendly way to package content.
- White Papers: Like e-books, white papers are a smaller, more technical version of your content.
- Phone Calls: Sell one-on-one phone calls for advice and other consulting through Ether.
- Miniguides: If you've just run a particularly helpful series, package it up into a miniguide.
- Tutorials: Gather your knowledge and compile it into a tutorial that relies upon your expert advice.
- Members-Only Sections: Whether you're providing access to published items or just ad-free content, make sure you're delivering a product that your readers are willing to pay for.
- TextMarks Inc.: Charge readers to get text-message alerts about your content through TextMarks.
- X-Events: Project physical events online and create revenue by charging admission, attracting sponsors and selling subscriptions to future events.
- Podcasts: Podcasts may be a novelty to your readers, and many of them are probably willing to pay to be able to hear your entries on the go.
- Videos: Like podcasts, videos are value-added extras that readers may be willing to pay for.
