Can you really make money blogging?
If you’re really looking to make money with a blog, you should know that it takes work.
There is no get rich quick option, nor is there any one “best” way to monetize a blog.
One of the best strategies is to try out different ways until you find what works best for you. Then double and triple down on that.
Here are a few ways to make money with a blog.
In no way is it a complete list. There are lots of ways to make money with a blog.
Promoting other people’s products:
You can make a full time income promoting other people’s products, but it can take some time to build up the audience you need to create such an income.
However, it can be a good place to start if you need the income right away.
Placing ads:
on your blog is relatively easy.
With ads you are building someone else’s brand, which can be ok in the beginning until you learn how to build your own brand.
Building your own brand should be the ultimate goal.
The amount of money you make will depend upon the size of your audience.
As with anything, you are going to want to check out the rules for placing an ad on your blog.
You don’t want to be stuck with an ad on your blog that you decide later doesn’t align with your audience.
Sponsored posts:
Collaborating with a brand with sponsored posts is another option to earn money (or even things like a new computer) with your blog, especially when you’re just starting out.
Again, you’re still building someone else’s brand. At least until you have your own products to sell.
Or maybe you just want to be the go to person who recommends great products to their audience.
If that’s the case then you may want to think about —
Affiliate programs:
While still promoting other people’s products, affiliate programs can be more profitable with less work than the options mentioned above.
However, it tends to be not as stable as other income streams.
The more work you put in, the better you will become, which should in turn earn you more money over time.
I’ve learned a lot about blogging and promoting other people’s products.
Sometimes it’s better to learn from others who have already been successful at what you are trying to do.
One of the ways, I have learned from others is by using what I call a training university.
The training university has taught me. How to start a blog and promote other people’s products on my blog while learning how to build my audience using social media.
