In this guide, i am going to show you how to make money starting a blog.
So without wasting much time, lets get right into it.
How do bloggers make money online.
Lets start
Affiliate Marketing
As a blogger, you can make money recommending other peoples products.
You might have been involved in affiliate marketing when you purchased your Smartphone online or a Camera.
Before you purchase something online, you first read customer reviews don’t you?
If you want to buy a Camera or Smartphone online, you read blogger reviews or customer reviews on blogs.
If you are really convinced that you love the product, you click through to buy the product.
The blogger signs up to become an affiliate to companies providing products and is given a special link to share on his blog.
Our blogger will write a review on his or her blog about the product and just put an affiliate link in the post so that when someone reading the review is convinced that the product is the good fit, will click the link and buy the product.
The blogger will earn a commission after the sale as a reward for bringing in the customer.
2. Google Adsense
You can earn good money by letting Google place ads on your blog.
However you need to have decent number of readers to make a lot of money with this method.
Plus you need to be self hosted and on a paid hosting plan to get approved for Adsense.
If your blog gets lot of traffic, you can monetize it using Google ads.
Another ads platform is Wordads, its as reputable as Google ads.
Sell Digital Products
This has become a popular one among bloggers. Instead of promoting other peoples products, why not create and sell your own products.
Sell Courses
You can create and sell courses easliy on your blog. Its really easy to do.
All you need is a camera to record your tutorials. If you are shy to face the camera, you can record screencast videos or powerpoint presentations.
After that, find the best course platforms to host and deliver your courses.
I recommend Teachable or Podia.
Sell Ebooks
You can create an ebook about a specific topic and sell it to your readers.
If you have no idea about what to write, just find one of the popular posts on your blog and convert it into an ebook.
Pro tip : Make it more indepth and well detailed as possible.
You can offer it to few people like influencers in your niche and let them endorse it.
As your book is endorsed by these big fish, you get more credibility and you generate more sales for your book.
Sponsored Posts
Where
Businesses will pay you to promote their businesses.
Lets say i have a blog that do car reviews.
I love cars, i test them and people trust me and i have a loyal following of car lovers on my blog.
Car companies may want me to do a test drive of their latest model and write a review about it.
They may give me a car or money to write a post about them and their cars
However, this monetization method is not available to all bloggers.
You need to have a large following of loyal followers. Companies wants sales and therefore to qualify you need decent amount of followers and high engagement rates.
