So we know blogging is a great idea, and something every self employed person should have. The thing is you can also make money directly from blogging, this can be done a number of ways, but the easiest when you're first getting started is by placing advertising on your blog.
One of my favorite online ad platforms to use is the Amazon affiliate program. It takes a little while to go through the forms online, and you must remember to complete you tax information, but everything is done instantly online and once you're set-up it's incredibly easy to use.
First, simply visit Amazon, scroll to the bottom of the main page and click on "Associates Program"
Fill in all of the information and forms. Once you have completed set-up, you will notice you suddenly have a "SiteStripe" across the top of the page. This is why I like running Amazon ads... it's so easy. You can share an affiliate link to any page on the site direct to social media by simply clicking the facebook or twitter icons. As for placing ads on your blog, it's a simple case of copy and pasting a piece of html code into either your posts, or into a widget in your side bar.
Amazon affiliates work particularly well with review blogs, I use it a lot for my "Lily Reads Books Lots" blog.
