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.
