How to Make Money with a Blog – 10 Great Ways
Many people will tell you to build your blog up before monetizing it but I say do it from the start! Generating traffic to a blog or website is not easy so why go to all that effort. As long as you do not go overboard with affiliate links and adversing monetizing a blog should be done ASAP.
Here are some choices:
1. CPC Ad Networks
CPC means cost per click. Bloggers earn money from CPC Ad Networks on a pay per click basis. Here is how it works, when a blogger writes a good article on a certain topic, the add networks place relevant ads along the article. The blogger is then paid for every time a reader clicks on the advertisement. An example of an ad network that you can use on CPC is Google’s Adsense program or Chitika.
2. CPM Ad Networks
CPM (Cost Per thousand Impressions) Ad networks are networks that pay bloggers and publishers on the total number of impressions. The emphasis is on how much you can earn when an ad gets 1000 impressions on your blog. The more the number of impressions, the more the amount of money you are paid. Examples of top paying CPM ad networks are Adpepper, AdSmart, Adtegrity, Ampira media, BannerConnect among others.
3. Affiliate Product Sales
This is another avenue through which you can earn a lot of money as a blogger. It is basically a sales referral system. If a store sells handbags, for example, and you refer a customer to them, then you will get a percentage of the sale amount. There are numerous sites which offer this service. Some are FlexOffers, Commission Junction, Amazons Affiliate program and Sharesale.
4. Direct Ad Sales
You can also sell ad space to businesses. This will particularly work if your
5. Launch a Product
Alongside other sources of income from your website or blog, you can also launch and sell a product online. This involves surveying your audience to determine the product that will satisfy their needs. If your blog deals with the latest trends in the fashion industry for example, you can design your own clothes and launch them on your blog. Visitors will buy the designs from you giving you an extra income from your sales.
6. Launch a High Ticket Product
Once you have built an attractive blog with loyal visitors, it will come as no surprise when some of the visitors request for a one-on-one consulting session. Loyal readers will want to know and understand you better. Some will want some advice on the various topics you discuss on your blog. Set up a workshop for your most loyal readers. Have a reasonable ticket price in mind and go on to promote your workshop through the blog or through your email list subscribers. This will offer your bloggers a chance to know you better and will get you an extra source of income through the ticket sales.
7. Solicit Contributions
There are other blog-related income opportunities that do not involve advertising and selling goods online. You can also seek for contributions from your readers. This will be more relevant if you are supporting a worthy cause such as health care and tax reforms.
If you have a group of loyal followers who enjoy reading what you write, then they will be willing to contribute some money to keep your blog up and running. There are a lot of ‘worthy cause’ blogs out there that qualify for donations from members of the blogging community. You can easily join the bandwagon, if you so wish, and make some extra cash.
8. Market Your Services
Your blog can be an excellent avenue to market yourself in your area of expertise. If you can offer professional advice on various topics, one of your readers may take note of you and give you a business assignment. Some readers may also be impressed by your blogging prowess and request your services to promote their own blogs.
9. Build a Subscriber List
Subscribers are readers who subscribe to the content that you offer. If you offer quality tips, articles and advice through your blog, you will benefit a lot if you provide some of your content on subscription. This is a very big step however. Visitors will only subscribe to your content if they are sure you will deliver in providing quality tips and advice. To create a huge subscriber list, you should first provide free quality content that will benefit the readers. The readers will then be compelled to subscribe to the content you offer on subscription.
10. Adding Credibility in the Market Place
Having a blog can greatly boost your credibility. It can enhance the number of customers you have in your existing business.
A blog can help to improve customer relations for your business. Through the blog, readers can air their views, opinions, complaints and comments on your product and the services you offer. A loyal customer base will increase the level of sales for your business providing a new avenue to increase your income through your blog.
A blog is a fun and exciting fun way to make some extra cash on the side or make a million. With these amazing opportunities available, and the little cost it takes to start and maintain a blog, making money online has never been easier.
