5 EASY Ways To Make Money Blogging
#1 Affiliate Programs – One of the easiest ways to make money with your blog is by joining an affiliate program in the same niche of your blog, add affiliate links in your blog posts and generate traffic. There are many affiliate networks that you can join that will give you access to a variety of merchants to choose from or many websites also have their own affiliate programs that you can join.
For example! You buy a product that you really LOVE to use. That company happens to have an affiliate program that you join. You then write an amazing post telling your audience about this product that you recommend. In your post you add your affiliate link to the site. When someone purchases that product through your link you will earn a commission. The Amazon Associates affiliate program is a really good way to make money promoting products within your posts.
#2 Sponsored Posts & Reviews – Once you have a blog that is generating traffic, sponsored posts and paid reviews is a great way to bring in more income from your blog. Be sure that you have a way for your viewers to contact you on your blog. You never know what company just might want to work with you and send you an email. You can also find companies that you want to work, find out what PR company they work with and send them your idea in a pitch. An easier way would be to join an social media/influencer network where you can apply to opportunities already waiting to be filled.
#3 Ad Networks – If your blog is generating traffic and you don’t have any ads running you are missing out on some extra income or even a lot depending on just how much traffic it is receiving. When you join an ad network or also known as a publisher network you are given a code to play different style/sized banner ads on your site. The more traffic your blog receives the more money you make. Be sure to look at the different networks first before joining the first one you like because some will pay MORE than others for the same traffic.
#4 Sell A Product – If you have your own product a blog is a great way to get some extra sales! If you don’t want to deal with taking payments you an always create an account on Etsy and then promote your product on your blog. If you don’t have your own product to sell you can create your own digital product like an ebook about a topic you are an expert in.
#5 Drop Shipping – If you don’t want to carry inventory but want to offer a store online for your visitors you can always go with using a drop shipping. When you are a drop shipper you list products for sale and take the order. You then would place that order with the company you are promoting products for and in return they ship the order to your customer. How you would make money would by marking the item up at a higher price than what the company is charging you for.
