A Freelance also needs to pay bills and a regular monthly income may help for sure.
If you are running you own design or tech blog and need to make some money a good way is to subscribe to a direct banner selling service like BuySellAds or better known as BSA.
Using BuySellAds service is extremely easy, after an usual user registration you are provided with a personal dashboard space in which you can choose to be an advertiser or a publisher or even both.
To become a publisher and earn some money you need then to submit your website and wait for BuySellAds approval, not every website will be accepted to become part of the publishing system. To be approved the submitted site must satisfy some requirements in terms of quality and traffic.
Once you have finished setting up your site details and it has been approved you have to chose advertising zones in you website, you can have as many zones as you like and most of all you can set the price for each zone, BuySellAds will take 25% as fee and the rest will be charged on you account, you will be able to take your money from your BSA account in different ways customizing your cashout settings, paypal, check, wire transfer.
Once you are satisfied with your zones you can add automatically generated javascript into your website code.
BuyAndSell system will then gather automatically data about your website through Alexa, Compete, Google Page, Technorati, Del.Icio.us and Yahoo to provide details about your site traffic to possible advertisers.
I maybe did not specify this but the power of BuySellAds is that once you set up your account, site details and advertisable zones you can forget about looking for advertisers since BSA will do the rest.
The Javascript code provided will at first show blank zones on your site with just the phrase “Advertise Here”, but when an advertiser will buy a zone it will be automatically filled with the advertiser’s banner and cash will be charged on your personal BSA account.
That means regular fire-and-forget monthly income, all you will have to do is keep your website rank and pageviews rates high.

I’ve been using BSA for sometime now but it seems like it’ll take sometime for my website to get ads. What type of advertiser is currently the most in the BSA inventory? Will a Java programming website get some advertisers? Because what I’ve seen that most of the advertiser is related to a web design field.

From BSA words :
“We are currently focused on the tech / web design / development / freelancer niche.”
Actually it’s true that web design and freelance related websites are the one that get most advertisers.

Great article. It’s a goal of mine to get freelanceformoney.com onto BuySellAds. It’s only been going for a couple of months so I obviously need to get more traffic to it first though.
