Selling or
Renting Internal Pages
Million Dollar Wiki made this concept popular, but it was being used on the web for a
long time around (check Pagerank10.co.uk for instance).
These websites sell for a single fee
or rent for a recurring fee internal pages on their domain. Usually they have
either high Pagerak or high traffic, so that people purchasing a page will be
able to benefit in some way.
Implementing this method on a
small
blog would be difficult, but the concept is interesting and could be explored
further.
Highlighted Posts from Sponsors
Techmeme probably pioneered this idea, but somehow it has not spread to
other websites. The tech news aggregator displays editorial posts on the left
column, and on the sidebar they have a section titled “Techmeme Sponsor Posts.”
On that section posts from the blog
of the advertisers get highlighted, sending qualified traffic their way.
Considering that the monthly cost for one spot is $5000 and that they have
around 6 sponsors at any given time, it must be working well.
Donations
Placing a “Donate” link or button on
a website can be an efficient way to earn money, especially if your blog is on
a niche where readers learn and gain value from your content.
Personal development and productivity
blogs, for instance, tend to perform well with donation based systems (one good
example being Steve Pavlina).
A small variation of this method
appeared sometime ago with the Buy Me a Beer plugin. This WordPress plugin enables you to insert a customized
message at the bottom of each article, asking the readers to chip in for a beer
or coffee.
