Most bloggers hope that they will eventually be able to earn real money through blogging. Keep reading to learn techniques for successfully selling your own services on your blog.

Be Active: If you want to raise a good reputation for yourself as a leader in your niche and build your own personal brand you need to be active somewhere outside of your blog. Even though this won't seem important to a lot of people, it really will make a major difference later on. Talk to other bloggers in your niche and comment on their sites. If you want to get ahead of everybody else writing guest posts for other bloggers in your niche helps you build relationships and get the attentions of other peoples in your audience. Be a sport and network with other bloggers, conduct interviews, build connections, because the more active you are in your approach, the easier it will get for you to reach out to more people. This can help your blog stand out and get more authority. It is a lot easier to sell your services through your blog when people in your industry know you well. Use your posts to promote your services. As long as you make these self-promotion posts the exception rather than the rule there's no harm in promoting your own services in some of your blog posts. You don't want to come across as completely promotional in your post either so stay on the topic at hand as much as possible. Share a recent experience with a client in one of your posts to casually mention the service you offer - just make sure you have the permission of your client first. This way, your post will remain informative and your aim to get people to take notice of your services will also be complete.

Getting Recommendations/Testimonials: Yet another effective method to sell more of your services is to give your existing clients a way to recommend you to others. You can have a dedicated testimonials page on your blog where you can publish positive comments from your satisfied clients. Request that clients send a link to your blog from their site so you can enjoy a little traffic boost from the referral. When you get referrals like this you aren't tooting your own horn; someone else is doing it for you. The more you can use recommendations and testimonials from your past clients, the higher will be the inflow of new clients for your services.

In conclusion, when you know how to do it right, promoting your services through your blog is pretty easy. Once you start putting these methods to use in promoting your services through your blog you can start making lots of money.
