If you enjoy blogging but you want to earn a small income to pay for your hosting, then you could use a website called Text Link Ads – basically, you sign up and they review your blog and assess how much your blog is worth for selling text links.

You are then added to a publishers listing, where bloggers who are looking to buy links can search, and then buy your link advertising space. It is very simple to implement, and I was impressed that within 48 hours of the account being created I had two links sold.

The only downside is that they take 50% of the revenue generated, but its a good starting point for those looking to sell a few links and make a small income from their blog – if you want to find out how much you could potentially earn on text links use the link calculator.
