Is it possible to make money with a blog? Yes.

Is it easy? At all.

 

Many people start writing a blog with the idea of taking an extra, but they think that there are only two sources of revenue: AdSense and affiliate marketing. The reality is that there are more ways to earn money.

Whether you have a blog with intent lucrative as if you are not interested in this post, if you are in the first group, that'll tell then will give you new ideas to get economic performance to your efforts; If you are in the second, when you finish reading this article you will understand better how the authors of the most popular websites earn bread.

You've convinced? Keep reading.

Before continuing, I'd like to warn you that making money with a blog is always a long-term plan, in the very long term.

Traffic, authority, trust, connection with readers... are essential things that fail in two days, so if you are looking for is to make you rich in 3 weeks sorry to disappoint you.

Today there are millions of blogs on the Internet, of which 99% are abandoned within a few months. So, if you want your contribution to economic benefits, one of the essential qualities you need is constancy. And I'm not talking about months, but years.

Are you willing to write in your blog during the next 5 years? If not, perhaps you want more invest your time in something different, or that you take your blog as a hobby and not a business.

Once clarified this point, we can start :) Here are 9 ways to make money with a blog.

1. Advertising (AdSense)

The fastest and easiest way to monetize a blog is through PPC advertising. CPC stands for "Cost per click", which means get paid whenever a user clicks on one of your ads.

There are many networks of CPC ads, but without doubt the most popular and which works best is Google AdSense. Sign up is as easy as entering this website and fill out a small form. Once Google approves your account (usually takes less than 48 hours), you can insert blocks of advertising of different sizes in your blog.

Here list of thousands niche that you can optimized: 


What distinguishes other advertising system AdSense is that you not choose ads that are shown, but that Google does this for you. The big G analyzes the content of the page in which you have inserted the block and sample advertising considered relevant to your readers. In this way, Google kills several birds with one stone:

Ads that are displayed (in theory) are interesting to your users
To be interesting, there are more possibilities that they click and you therefore earn more money (and Google also)
Advertisers can reach potential customers despite not know you or your page

Revenue per click depends on competition that exists in this niche. There are many more advertisers, most have to pay because their ad appears and you can therefore deliver more money between you and Google. For example, in some super-competitive themes such as "forex", "insurance" or "criminal defence lawyers" you can collect 3 or 4 dollars per click, but usually receive only a few cents.


If you want to know how competitive it is a term, you have two options:

Do a Google search and see how many ads appear on screen. If all the spaces are complete (on the top of the search results, below and in the sidebar) that is to say that you it's a competitive niche in which the click is well paid.
Enter the planner of keywords and search for that term. CPC column will give you an estimate companies than they pay per click to have your ad appear in searches and blogs related to this topic. What you earn is less than half of that CPC (as 30-40%).

But not everything is pink and wonderful in the land of AdSense. Before you throw to put advertising on your blog you should consider the following:

It is possible that your readers angry, and consider yourself a sold. Sometimes have advertising da bad image and subtract seriousness to your blog
Normally, to make the CPC advertising profitable you need to have a lot of traffic
Google has the right to close your AdSense account when you give them the win and without giving you any kind of explanation. Already happened to me in the past

Examples of blogs with advertising CPC:

  • Photography
  • Parenting
  • Self Help
  • Car
  • Health
  • etc

2. CPA Advertising

Other types of less well known advertising are CPA (cost per action) advertising. In this case, when a reader clicks on your ad are redirected to a landing page (landing page) that has to perform an action, such as opening an account, complete a survey, or give your personal information to receive more information. For each user who completes the action you get a Commission.

As you can imagine, the percentage of conversions (the people who clicks on your ad and also performs the action) is much lower than in the case of CPC advertising. However, this is offset by a Commission by much higher conversion - usually several euros.

Here is an example of the landing page of an insurance company. When the user clicks on your ad, you reach this page that ask you to enter your name and your phone number so that they call you later and you try to sell insurance. If you do, you get $ 1.75 (although the user then ends up not buying anything).

CPA advertising is successful, it is important that this is very relevant to the niche of your blog. If you have a personal development blog, and put an announcement of Movistar to capture new customers, it is safest to be a failure. However, that same ad on a blog about rates of mobile offerings will work much better.

In general, how much more specific is the topic of your blog, they will work better CPA campaigns (as long as they are relevant, clear).


3. Private Advertisers

An alternative to the ad networks that I have mentioned above are private advertisers. Magazines like they rent out their pages to businesses, you can rent areas of your blog to companies in the sector for a monthly fixed price.

There are two ways to find private advertisers:

Offer your services to potential clients. This strategy is to be contacted by e-mail or phone with your niche companies that may be interested in advertising on your blog. You can start with those who have contracted advertising AdSense, because you know that every month they already invest in online advertising. If you're able to demonstrate them with data and graphics that they would be more profitable to advertise on your page that through Google, may be willing to make the change.
That they get in touch with you. If you get that your blog will become a reference within your niche, it is likely that are enterprises that get in touch with you to advertise on your website. The easiest way of this happening is publicly showing that you accept ads on your website. For example, you can have a banner with the message "To advertise on this blog" that lead to a page in which the potential advertisers may download a dossier with the statistics of visits last year, the reasons for which would be profitable advertising on your page and prices.

As is the case with CPA advertising, how much more specific is your niche better work this monetization method, since there will be more companies interested in advertising on your page. Furthermore, the more traffic you generate more money you can call advertisers, since more people will see your advertising every day.

If you want to see the aspect that has a good Pack for advertisers, I recommend that you take a look at the Forum police. You can download it by clicking here.

Examples of blogs with private advertisers:

Baballa is a blog for Working Moms. Its author, Lucia, writes about a lot of topics: stories with the children, crafts, things to do with them, things that do without them, beauty, things that give... The page was becoming more and more popular and now works with the income from the sponsors that you can see in the sidebar.
National police requirements. When I started to look for ways to make money online, I created this page with the idea of making money with ads of academies of oppositions and gyms. Failed due to lack of traffic and I only managed to sell an ad (live!), but you can still set an example. I use a plugin for WordPress called CrankyAds that it handles everything automatically. If you want to see how it works, enter the page and click on the banner down there at all and it says "Click here to advertise in this space."

4. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is just a specific type of advertising CPA that action that should the user perform is to buy something. I.e., you act as a salesperson, your blog promoting a product or service of another company, which pays you a Commission each time that you generate you a sale.

Affiliation platforms operate in the following way:

  • You register as an affiliate
  • Through the platform, you create some special links with your ID, pointing to the page of the product to promote
  • Put these links on your blog
  • A reader clicks on any of these links, make a purchase in the next X days (X depends on the firm) and you get a Commission
  • At the end of the month they enter in your checking account the total amount of all commissions

Easy, right?

The first program's history was that of Amazon, but today there are many more and practically in all sectors: travel, telephony, digital products... To find them only you have to search on Google the company name followed by the word "members".

List of high paying affiliate programs:


Sometimes they are enterprises which manage their affiliate programs, but the most common is to do so through affiliate networks. These are some of the most important:

  • Amazon.com
  • ClickBank
  • ComissionJunction

The amount of commission varies according to the company, and ranges from 3-5% on the price of the sale in the case of physical products up to 50-70% when it comes to digital products.

The key to success with the affiliation is intercept users who are in the midst of the shopping process and take them to your blog, and the most common way to do this is to write articles about offers or product analysis and position them in Google for terms of trade. I understand.
If someone searches for the word "coffee" in Google you don't know what intention is. I may want to buy a coffee, but may already have one and has been damaged, or maybe a child looking for photos of coffee for a college job. However, if user search "buy coffee", "coffee analysis Nesspreso" or "price Tassimo coffee maker", we know that you are considering buying a coffee maker and, therefore, it is much more possible to that end up generating you a sale. This second type of user is that you are interested in visiting your blog.

5. Sell Products

The more lucrative method to earn money with your blog is to sell your own products, since there are no intermediaries and therefore the margins are wider.

It is most common on the Internet is selling digital products, and more specifically of info-products like eBooks or courses. The advantage of this type of product is that duplicate them is free, so once created costs so sell one to a million. In addition, the entire sale process can be automated easily through platforms such as E-Junkie, Gumroad or even Amazon (as have I done with my book).

In addition to digital products, it is also possible to sell physical products through a blog. For example, in the mine could sell posters with my manifesto or, if a decent, sell t-shirts and other merchandising :) logo the major drawback of this strategy of monetization is it doesn't work automatically: you have to hold stock, go to post to make shipments and manage incidents and returns. However, this drawback can be solved using a system called dropshipping which consists in passing orders directly to the supplier. This, in Exchange for a fee, is responsible for making shipping directly to the user. This way you don't have to worry about anything :)

Sell your own products is not simple, because to be successful you have to do many things well. Create something that others want to buy is a challenge, but that is only the beginning. In addition to create the product you need to have knowledge of marketing, copywriting, pricing policy, search for customers and a long etcetera. This is why what 99% of people who try to create and sell their own products fail.

6. Services

Having a blog and write in it often on a theme will help you to position yourself as an expert in your niche. After a time, you can take advantage of that authority to offer your services. As throughout the months you have shown that you know about your field and you've established a relationship of trust with your readers, maybe some of them are interested in what you offer and become customers.

The key to this monetization model is trust. Demonstrate your knowledge with what you write is not enough; your life must be a true reflection of what they preach, i.e.: you have to live your own story.

Here are some ways to build trust in your blog:

·     Credentials. If you go on the website of Andrea, a Mexican entrepreneur who travels and loves football, you'll see having a section that says "How.. so dress" along with some pages and major conferences logo under the video presentation. That conveys confidence and serves to demonstrate that it is not an unknown, because if it has appeared in all of those sites... it will be for something, right?

·        Testimonies. The opinions of other satisfied customers are one of the best ways to get new customers to trust you. To achieve the first, begins working free or at half price in Exchange for a positive testimony to the end. Whenever a reader write you an e-mail telling you something nice ask permission to use it as testimony in the future.

·        Give the face. That your readers see you in photos and videos transmits proximity. People like to interact with people, not robots.

·        Design. A blog design matters, and much. The first spread distrust by the four sides, while the latter is much more professional. A website with good design is screaming "I'm serious!".

7. Promotion Of Your Company

If you already have a business, a blog can be a great marketing tool. Want your customers know who you are, how you work and how things in the backstage work.

One of the best-known cases is that of 37signals, whose blog, Signal vs. Noise - which speaks of his philosophy of work - was a key factor for the growth of the company and also helped them to win hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This is how they got him:

They published posts with quite different to the traditional ideas. These items produce traffic, monetization thanks to ads that had in the sidebar
They created a book in PDF called Getting Real with the best posts about his philosophy of software development and sold it for $19
They created the version in paper of the book and put it on sale through Lulu.com for $25
With the content of Getting Real, they created a series of conferences. For every one they earned $50,000

In total, they took out more than $750,000 from the blog!

The history of 37signals is incredible, but in my opinion the true potential of a blog you can see when it comes to starting a company. In that case, create a community around a blog can give you many things and give you that initial push. When you have 2,000 faithful followers it is much easier to bring forward any project, because those people who rely on you will be delighted to beta testers, give you feedback, promote your product and support your campaign of crowdfunding. Let me put you an example.

David Bonilla has a mailing list with more than 2,700 subscribers that writes every Sunday. A year ago, before opening his store of Galician pies to the general public, it offered 100 pies test at a special price only for subscribers of the blog. It sold 89, but beyond sales, got two more important things:

Invaluable feedback that allowed him to solve errors before opening to the public
Free marketing. Most of their customers mentioned pies by Twitter, and there were even some who recorded a video unpacking (unboxing) pie

All this, as you can imagine, translated into benefits in the short but also long-term.

And it is that without the help of his followers, all would have been a little more difficult for David.

The most important thing you should remember when using a blog to promote other projects is that a community is not created in a day. For this reason, you need to start to build it before you need it, because when you get that time will be too late.

8. Donations

Few people realize that the easiest way to make money with a blog is asking your readers that, if your work has helped them in some way, they enter you what they see fit via PayPal. You know: sometimes just have to ask for it!

This is something to everyone and requires no knowledge of programming of any kind, since PayPal provides you with the necessary HTML code and you only have to add it to your blog.

How To Make Money With A Blog In 6 Different Ways



Before you start reading this article, I have to tell you that its purpose is to teach you how to make money with a blog and the various methods that exist.

But, if you don't know anything about blogging (for example, how to install a plugin on WordPress), I recommend that, in addition to the information below, you seek in Google other articles that teach you the basics on how to start your own blog.

 

In any case, make money with a blog can make you get the same money (and more) than anyone else who has a regular job; but you should know that in the beginning you will earn little, and you have to wait a few months until you make an income of truth.

The basic steps that you must take before earn money with a blog

Before you start to make money with a blog you have to create your own blog! You can create a blog free if you don't have lot of money to begin with, although I do not recommend it you if what you want is to get money.

Or you can spend a bit of money (I assure you that they will not be more than $50 a year) and make your own website of payment that will bring you many more benefits. To do this, follow these steps:
  
  • Think of names for your blog 
  • When you have one, register your domain name and purchase hosting (click here to learn how) 
  •  Install WordPress and log in 
  • Install the template that you like and start writing!
Once completed those steps, and designed the blog to your liking, you need to write tickets to attract visitors and regular readers; a website or blog without hardly visitors you will report very low profits.

How to make money with a blog?
  
With CPC (cost per click) Ads

CPC ad network that is most commonly used is Google Adsense. They are basically ads that are placed on your blog, and for each click they make your visitors, will pay you a small Commission. But the best thing is that the ads are related to what you write.


How? The Adsense program "reads" your items, and seeks relevant ads so they appear on your page. If you write about travel, displayed ads from agencies of trips or tourist guides. Thus there are more possibilities for your readers to click on them.

With advertising CPM (cost per thousand)

These ads work similar to the previous, but in them the payment is received whenever someone sees this announcement, without which the Reader click on that ad. Although it is not as simple: each ad must be thousand times so that you pay.

Google AdSense also has this option in its program to monetize blogs.

Selling affiliate products

This way of making money with a blog is to place links from sites that sell a product and if someone click on your link and purchase the item, you will pay you a Commission on the total cost of the product. Although it seems a lot of effort, it is easier than you think.

Good pages of affiliates (there are many more like Amazon, Clickbank, Shopify...)
Sign up for them and saves the custom link of an affiliate that you provide
Writes entries in products that you know, or you've tried and that sell on the web that you have registered. Paste your link in that inning of affiliate, and get to know your readers that they can buy this product by clicking on this link.

Below I give list of crazy high paying affiliate programs.


Example: Let's say you have a blog about books. You write an entry about the last book you've read, you are looking for if the page that you registered sells it, and if so, put your link of an affiliate in your post and say to your readers that they can buy it on that page.

Whenever a visitor read your entry, click on your link, and buy this book, you'll get a juicy Commission for that sale. You can also put still images containing your link to the sides of your blog to increase your profits.

Direct sale of advertising space in your blog

This is not to sell a small space in a column of your blog for those companies that want to advertise on it, putting an image and a link to the page of the advertiser. And you, you put the conditions without intermediaries.

You can choose to collect an amount every 15 days, one month, 3 months... and charge whatever you want. Although obviously, much better known and more visits to have your blog, you can enjoy more cash.

The companies themselves will be who you contact to book a space, although you can also offer it on your blog or send them an email.

Make money with a blog using sponsored posts

This method is the most used today bloggers and youtubers to make money with their sites. It works by contacting the companies (or them) contacting you and proposing to write about their products in Exchange for a sum of money.

If an agreement is reached, the company will send you your free product, you will taste it, and then give your opinion by writing an entry (and you will pay, clear) with a link to the website of the article so that your readers to buy it. You can get to pay more than $1,000 for a sponsored post.

But this only works when your site receives many visits and, more importantly, you have regular readers and a little recognition among the blogs of your theme.

Make money selling your own products

A good way to start making real money is creating and selling your own products: eBooks, online courses, classes live, crafts, anything! Write a post about your product and sell it to your readers.

It is true that it requires more effort than other options, but it can become a real business from home that will give you many benefits in the long run.

Guide to earn fast money with a Blog

I've listed 5 key important and essential in developing a blog that is interesting to earn money with AdSense and have monthly income passively.

1. How To Find A Good Niche Market

The first thing you should do is to find a niche market little competed, in which searches do not have a peak of seasonality, having enough monthly searches, and above all to click Adsense paid enough.

For this the first thing you have to do is open the planner of Google Adwords keywords and find that niche market.


Once inside the tool provided by the search engine giant, you must configure this tool properly to give you results appropriate to what you are looking for and that they are profitable for this type of techniques that we apply.

Would you like to receive all my tips and tricks on SEO and Marketing Online directly in your mail?

They are just 4 steps:

Displays the option of seeking new ideas for keywords and ad groups
Choose a category that interests you. You must select a category and leave it in everything, you must segment not more, since you are looking for are ideas of interesting market niches.
Configure segmentation: you must select all locations, Spanish language (is the one that you are interested in), select Google and not select negative keywords.
Customize the search: the average number of monthly searches should be above 4,000 (least not interested since it would not be a sufficient search volume for an amount of reasonable income) and the suggested bid must be higher than 0.40, since with this type of bid, we will charge more with Adsense and will be an interesting niche search volume both pay per click in Adsense. Also in the level of competition you select high, the more competition, more you bid.

Once you've configured the tool as in the previous picture, you must click on search for ideas and then, click on the keyword ideas tab and they will leave a series of data as in the image below:

detecting niche to make money fast

Here is where you must discover a new little competitive market niche. For this you must analyze searches, which are mostly below the 12,000 and with a window Google Chrome incognito go see organic competition that exists for this niche.

In the example above, as you can see I have detected that the keyword "how to sell on the internet" has a decent search volume and the CPC which gives us this tool is €0,92. Here already would have a good keyword to begin with, even to make an article on this Blog and position it.

If you look you well in other results a great option would be to create a mobile website, although in this case organic competition would be strong enough.

To detect a more easy market niche and have little competition, I recommend you try with all the categories to discover a suitable market niche.

2. Looking For Words Key Allies

Once you've found your key word or phrase for your niche that you are going to attack, it should be to look more similar and keywords long tail that can attract more traffic to the blog that you want to create.

For this we use the SEMrush tool in the following manner:

SEMrush-access
Enter your Word or phrase tags.
This will return you a list, as you see in the image above, with the keywords or key phrases that are similar that you can incorporate into your blog and that will bring more traffic. With this you will get more visits and more clicks on your Adsense ads.
Start creating your Blog under the key words that you've collected thanks to this tool.

3. Create Your Blog

To create your Blog, I recommend that you do it under the wordpress platform and put the template that comes by default. Your blog should not be nice, perhaps the opposite, what more should highlight are the banners of Adsense advertising.

Once you've created the Blog and you have different landings with its content pages of quality and this all full blog, you must begin to position it.
I recommend when Adsense Banners do not put them until your blog does not occupy the first page of Google for some of the most powerful keywords, since if you include the banner of Adsense before, it will cost you more position you’re Blog.


4. Optimizes The Blog

The first thing you should do is create your blog, so I recommend that you include keywords in the domain. For example: If you want to position the keyword "footballs" a good domain would be lovefootballs.com.

Your Blog should be like Google. For this purpose you should optimize it according to its guidelines. Here you have a basic listing that can not miss you when it comes to optimizing your Blog:


  • Your urls must be friendly, in the WordPress settings section you can change it.
  • Install the SEO Plugin by Yoast and configure it.
  • Install a plugin for Sitemap and submit it to Google using the tool of Webmaster Tools (you must sign up also in this tool) 
  • All pages should have a link towards another one of your pages of your Blog. 
  • The images must also be optimized. Here's a guide to optimizing your images. 
  • The key word in each page of your blog should be at least once in the title, URL and within the content. 
  • Each page of your blog should have more than 1,000 words and 3 images to have any advantage over your competition (the content must be of quality, original and that helps users).

5. Seeks Allies (Links)

Once you've completed the 4 steps above, you only need the last part, the most complicated and take more time.

For your Blog go up like the foam on Google and managed to occupy the best positions on the first page, you must have quality links pointing towards the different pages of your Blog. For this the first thing you should do is to analyze links that has your competence, i.e. the websites that occupy the top positions for keywords in which you want to position yourself.

For this you can use the following tools:

Ahrefs: In my opinion the best tool to analyze the profile of a web links.
Open Site Explorer: very similar to the previous tool. In addition, this tool is moz.
Cognitive SEO: Another great tool with many other more features that can help you more later.

Once analyzed the links of your competition you should detect which are more quality links and try to get them. In addition you will have to get different quality links to ahead of your competition, links that they do not have.

And now?, would these prepared to make quick money with your Blog?
