This is a simple and effective way to generate income from your blog that involves setting up a portfolio page/section that showcases your experience.

This can then be used as an online reference point when applying for work or it can be used to generate new business through your blog visitors looking through the portfolio.

Advantages: This is a real evergreen content piece as well as a great way to generate income from your blog.

Setting up an online portfolio page can add a whole new dimension to the blog and be used to bring in a lot of direct online income. Not only that but it lets your readers understand a little more about you and build a bit more credibility.

Disadvantages: This method only really applies if you're running a personal blog, and even then you might not want to go down that route.

This isn't exactly a 'direct' monetization technique in the same sense that PPC advertising is. Setting up an online portfolio may bring you through some organic income but you will likely have to be actively seeking work alongside this and then using the portfolio as your reference point.
