How To Make Money Blogging
>Pay Per Click (PPC).
I believe you might have had about this many times. Per per Click is the most popular ways to make money from blogging and I know may bloggers already knows this . The basic concept of Pay Per Click (PPC) is placing advertisers banners or text ads in your blog and when a visitor clicks on these ads, you get a certain commission.
Your commission is based on the keyword price that the advertisers are bidding for, don’t worry I will talk more about Keywords in my next post.
Lets Take for instance, Google Adsense. Google permits Independent Individuals ( Bloggers Like You ) to apply for adsense through their website where when approved, could have a chance to create a source of income out of their blog. Once You get approved for Adsense, you will have access to their dashboard where you will be able to generate ad codes you embed in your website to display ads. You get paid when your visitors click on that ad.
If you have tried Google Adsense PPC Application before but got disapproved, bellow are some Google Adsense Alternatives:
- · Try Chitika
- · Infolinks
- · And VigLink
Without any Doubt Google Adsense remains the best pay per Click Ads Company that you can apply with and I know another person or blogger might have told you that It is the best existing ad network out there to monetize any website (as long as your blog/website comply with Google AdSense Program Policy or adhere to Webmaster Quality Guidelines).
>Private Advertising On Your Blog
This platform allows Independent companies or even other bloggers to advertise you’re your blog. You offer to sell ad space on your website to them.
Here you are totally in charge. You can decide to fix the price or make the price completely negotiable and payment is usually per month.
However, before engaging your website to this type of advertisement, you must make sure that your blog receives a decent amount of traffic. When I say Traffic I mean genuine traffic from your Blog followers, email list and the visitors you receive from organic traffic (Search Engine Traffic)
>Offer Solo Ads Blast
This might sound new to many, but just in case you are not acquaintance with this advertising method, a solo ad is a one-time email blast you sell to a buyer who wants to advertise to your subscribers or to your email list.
This advertising method is usually employed by marketers not entirely for business to business blogs. For example if your blog is about “weight loss” and you built a good amount of email list of people seeking to lose weight, you are certainly good to go with this method. Here you offer to sell ads to vendors who sell products about weight loss, products like eBooks, video course, or whatever products they sell related to weight loss, you may consider using this solo ads technique.
I personally call it this method -
'the backdoor Selling Approach”
> Affiliate marketing
This is one of the most popular methods of monetizing a blog. This is done via affiliate marketing.
Affiliate Marketing is all about partnering with an independent business owners or some companies Market their products for them in your blog or website as the case may be.
Unlik PPC, affiliate marketing is a commission based monetization method, where you place a banner or text ads containing your affiliate link in your website. You will earn a certain percentage of commission each time a person makes a purchase from the affiliate link you placed on your blog.
You should note that the commission you receive is based from the percentage you agreed with the product owner.
For instance, if a particular product you are promoting is worth $59, and the affiliate commission set by the product owner is 45%, once you make a sale you make $26.55 commission - that's basically the idea.
To be successful in this method of blog monetization, it is advisable to promote products related to your website niche. If you are into Technology blog, you can monetize your blog by promoting products related to Technology such as Software, Electronics etc.
> Be your Own boss By Selling your own product.
There are basically two types of Products you can sell as a blogger.
- · Physical Products
- · Digital Products
The physical products I mean here are tangible products such as t-shirts, books, shoes, etc.
The Digital products are products in the form of eBooks, PDF, Video courses and general digital products such as guides and tutorial. If your blog is about body fitness, then you can create video courses or eBook discussing how to burn fats, eating healthy, right exercise, etc.
In this platform ,you can even partner up with third party merchants to boost our sales. Third party merchants such as ClickBank, ShareASale, e-junkie etc, this is to engage your product in affiliate marketing program. This way, you are building a network of affiliate marketers who are willing to sell your product.
And when your affiliates make a sale, they'll get their commission, you'll get yours.
For in case you've tested a particular strategy that effectively worked for you, for example you accidentally discover a way on how to make money the most efficient way(assuming your blog is about business), then you can write an eBook discussing the methods you used, how it worked, your experience, your results then sell it to your visitors.
>Freelance via your blog.
Freelance writing is one of the advantages of blogging. And it may occur to you that content marketing is one the best business marketing strategies used by top companies to pull massive traffic to their website. So if you are gifted in writing impressive and well researched SEO optimized blog post then Freelance content Writing is a sure way of making money as a blogger.
The good part of it is that you are totally in charge with the price for each of your articles. You can find your ideal customers at Craigslist, ProBlogger etc. or you register as a freelance article writer at Elance,Fiverr, etc
