4 ways to make money blogging:
Consider implementing one or more of the following strategies if your blog has a fair amount of traffic. The first two are generally a better fit if your audience is tiny. Using more than one money-making approach, in either case, will boost your chances of making money.
1. Display advertising
On websites you've visited, you've probably seen digital adverts for cell phones, credit cards, and other things. Companies can also bid to put advertisements on your blog using programmes like Google Adsense. You choose the types of advertisements that run and where they appear on the page, and you get paid when a reader clicks on them.
It's difficult to estimate your potential revenue, but this comprehensive guide on monetizing with Google AdSense will assist. Here's the gist of it: Let's say your site gets 2,800 visitors in a month and 1.5 percent of them click on a display ad – that's 42 clicks. You're looking at a payout of roughly $30 if the advertiser bids 75 cents each click.
"Seeing the $30 or $50 check can be all the motivation a rookie blogger needs to keep their blog up and running and eventually get to those greater payouts," says Joseph Hogue, author of "Make Money Blogging."
How much money can you make from blogging? Here's what Google says
Google is the content king. That is, your content. Google determines whether or not potential readers will be able to find your content in a search and then pays you to display its adverts on your site.
However, Google is aware of how much money you make as a result of the traffic your site generates. A Google content earnings calculator reveals everything.
Here are some samples of how much Google estimates a blog in North America with 50,000 monthly page views can make annually from ads depending on the following content categories:
- $2,538 in sports.
- $3,372 for arts and entertainment.
- $5,520 for automobiles and vehicles.
- $7,806 for beauty and fitness.
- $8,400 for shopping.
- The cost of travel is $8,460.
- $8,598 for food and beverages
- $19,278 in finance.
Naturally, the larger your audience, the more money you will earn.
2. Repurposed blog content
You're currently creating content, so why not make it available in a different format? Turn your blog posts into e-book chapters that you can sell on Amazon.
Alternatively, if your content is video-friendly, look into how to generate money on YouTube.
3. Affiliate marketing
Consider affiliate marketing if you frequently discuss products on your site. Let's assume you have a smoothie blog. In one of your posts, you could link to a specific blender for sale on Amazon, and if a reader clicks on the link and buys the blender, you'll get paid a fee.
According to Hogue, a single transaction can get you anything from a few bucks to hundreds of dollars. Join an affiliate network like ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, FlexOffers.com, Rakuten Marketing, or Amazon Associates to find sponsors and items for your site.
For many bloggers, affiliate marketing is a lucrative business. Hogue earned almost $2,000 per month from two of his blogs in 2017. Others he knows utilise it to bring in tens of thousands of dollars each month.
This strategy is most effective for high-traffic blogs. The more people who read the post, click the link, and buy the product, the more probable it is that someone will notice it, click the link, and buy the product.
4. Sponsored content
Companies pay you a set fee to write a post about their product using this strategy. For example, you or a blender firm might write a post about a specific blender on your smoothie blog, complete with a link to a website where readers can purchase it.
If your blog doesn't get a lot of traffic, sponsored content opportunities may be hard to come by. Even authors of low-traffic blogs, according to Hogue, should ask for at least $100 if they have the opportunity. If you have to write the content yourself, ask for extra. Once your site has a larger audience, you can negotiate for a few hundred bucks per post.
These chances can be found on ad networks or by contacting potential sponsors. You could also get unsolicited emails offering money in exchange for a sponsored post.
This strategy isn't suitable for everyone. Some bloggers are hesitant to promote a product for monetary gain because it makes them feel like "essentially a tout for a corporate sponsor," according to Hogue. Only promote items you've tested and would recommend, according to him. It's also important that the items are relevant, so no gushing over a carpet cleaner on your smoothie blog unless you're prone to spilling your beverages.
The key to making money from blogging
Making money from blogging requires patience, regardless of the strategy you use. You won't be able to make serious money until your blog attracts a significant amount of visitors and ranks highly in Google search results, which takes time. You should also be an expert in the field of blogging. Hogue reads "blogs about blogging" and "search engine optimization" websites.
Given the time and effort required to make money from your blog, it's essential to pick a topic you're passionate about. "You'll be talking about it a lot, and your passion may be your only motivator for doing it," Hogue adds.
