5 Ways To Make Money From Your Blog!
1. Sponsored Posts
The first way to make money from your blog is by writing sponsored posts.
Once your blog has some traffic and engagement on it you should start by reaching out to brands for sponsored posts.
What are Sponsored Posts?
Sponsored posts are the posts in which you write about a certain brand and your promote their products/services and in return you get paid.
A lot of people say that you need a ton of monthly page views before you start doing sponsored posts. Which is not at all true!
My friend started his blog a month ago and already he had done two sponsored posts and made over $200 from it.
Doing sponsored posts is a great way to monetize your blog it’s not at all time-consuming and It doesn’t require you to sell anything which is a great thing.
2. Ads
Start displaying ads on your blog!
I know you have seen ads before on a blog/website and you might have found them annoying, but ads are a great way to make a decent amount of money from your blog.
There are many Ad Networks you can join to start displaying ads on your blog, here are a few of them:
1. Adsense
2. Mediavine
3. Media.net
4. Popads
5. Propellerads
Many blogs/websites depend on ads to make money because their niche is thought to monetize (For example News)
If you are a new blogger or you want to monetize your blog then displaying ads on your blog is a great way to make money.
If you solely want to depend upon ads to monetize your blog then you need 10k - 25k page views per month to make a decent amount of money (and that not at all tough).
Amit Agarwal from labnol.org makes over $10,000 per month from ads.
3. Affiliate Marketing
Another great way to make a ton of money from your blog is affiliate marketing.
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
For those of you who don’t know what is affiliate marketing.
Affiliate Marketing is promoting other people’s products for a commission per sale.
If you have a fitness blog then you can promote fitness products like fitness bands, dumbells, fitness apparel, etc. And whenever someone buys a product from your affiliate link you earn a commission.
There are a lot of affiliate programs you can join, some of the best ones are:
1. CJ Affiliates
2. ShareASale
3. Clickbank
4. JVZoo
5. Amazon Associates
Many bloggers have monetized their blogs by affiliate links, you can earn about $10k a month from affiliate marketing if you have an audience with a buying mindset.
For example fitness blogs, people read them because they desperately need to lose weight and be fit, If you can find the right affiliate product that can solve their problem then you can make a ton of affiliate sales and with that sales, you can earn a great amount of money.
4. Sell Digital Products
Selling digital products on your blog can be very profitable, you can set your own prices, you don’t have to ship them out and you don’t even need to worry about the built quality of the product.
If you want to sell digital products on your blog then some of the great things you can sell are:
1. Ebooks
2. Guides
3. Online Courses
4. Audiobooks
5, Checklists
6. Planners
A real-life example of someone selling digital products online would be my friend Ana from TheSheApproach.com.
She makes a whopping $3,500/mo selling eBooks from her blog. Read the interview I did with her recently where she reveals some of her secrets.
5. Sell Services
Selling services can be really helpful for people.
If you have a blog on beauty then you can sell makeup services for the people. If you have a blog about building websites then you can sell service in which you can make them a website so that they don’t have to do the hard work and in return, you can charge them as much as you want to.
A great way to go about doing this is to add a “Hire me” or “Services” section on your blog. Just like how Elna Cain did:
So if you are good at something then you can start selling service on your blog.
Conclusion
These were some of the best ways to monetize your blog, there are many other ways by which you can monetize your blog and make money, the choice is up to you.
I would recommend you to start by displaying ads than affiliate marketing and then step by step as you grow your blog you can write sponsored posts etc etc.
