Making Money Blogging

The ways that Indonesian webmasters and bloggers can make some money.

While many people blog, make websites, or spend time online purely for the fun of it or other reasons earning some money while you are writing can be a nice bonus.
For an Indonesian webmaster or blogger one of the problems encountered is that some internet advertising networks will not accept their applications, because of the poor reputation the country often has, while other networks simply have a very cautious approach to Indonesian applicants, but will accept them.
These are some of the main networks that will accept Indonesian accounts, whether CPC (Cost Per Click - you get paid per click) or CPA (Cost Per Action - you get paid per sale or lead), or CPM (Cost Per Thousand - you get paid for displaying ads based on number of ad impressions).
It helps to have a Paypal account for many of these networks (Paypal now, finally, offers Indonesians full send and withdraw accounts - sign up at Paypal).

Text Links

Other websites pay you to put text links to their site. Nothing to do with selling things, just a kind of advertising. You get paid for the length of time you display the text links, not per click.

Paid Posts

These networks pay you to write a post about another website, obviously websites that are selling some sort of product or service. In order to be accepted into these programs you must display the entire content of your posts on the front page of your blog.

CPC

You put ads on your site, usually text ads, and get paid every time someone clicks on one of them. Don't click your own ads, you will likely get kicked out of the program!
Adsense
Example of the "Reports" page in Adsense, showing today's earnings (nothing to do with me).
  • Google Adsense - the Big Daddy, with the biggest ad inventory on the internet, they have advertisers who'll pay for clicks on virtually any topic. Has text, image, and video ads. Payments to Indonesian accounts are only by cheque, other countries have direct deposit. Highly recommended but not at all friendly to Indonesian publishers recently.
  • Adbrite - Has text and banner ads that pay out either per click (CPC) or per 1000 views (CPM). Generally a second best option compared to Adsense though, but very popular with Indonesian webmasters. Sign up at Adbrite.
  • Widget Bucks - Displays Flash format ads, either contextually, by crawling the content of your pages, or by the choice of a product category. For non-north American traffic not well-recommended. Payment by Paypal or cheque. Earn $$ with WidgetBucks.
  • Affiliate Bot - Affiliate Bot might be the most suitable CPA network for Asia based sites as they have a large number of "International" offers, including some Asian ones. Sign up with Affiliate Bot.
  • Chitika - A newish network, advertisers are overwhelmingly in the computer/handphone/ipod areas. Strong filtering of non-North American clicks/traffic however. Payments are once a month via Paypal when your balance passes $10, or by cheque, when balance reaches $50. For tech, gadget and general shopping traffic, well recommended. Sign up for Chitika.
  • Bidvertiser - A smaller pay per click network. Payment by PayPal. Make money from your Website or Blog with BidVertiser.
  • Adtoll - A new pay per click and per per impression network that lets you set a "rate card" to display to potential advertisers. AdToll: Sell Ads On Your Site And Make Money.
