Is your blog ready to be monetized? It’s actually an easy way to earn a side income if done the right way. If you have one already, then you’re already one stop ahead of most people who want to make money online by writing and journaling.
Blogging for money means understanding online advertising and how to use your writing to sell products without annoying your audience. Here are some of the best tips from experienced in making $20,000 to $500,000 or more a month just by blogging.
What Ads Can You Sell?
There are a few ways to immediately start monetizing your blog. One of the most common ways that bloggers start off making money is through CPC or PPC advertising. These are “cost per click” or “pay per click” ads that you can sell space through Google AdSense. This the most popular advertising network with the easiest setup, but there are other networks such as Taboola or Chitika.
You can also sell private ads on your blog if you have a good relationship with a brand that relates to what you write about. Perhaps you’re a beauty blogger who wants to work with makeup brands. You can get sponsors from these brands that pay even more than Google AdSense.
Sell Digital Products
You can also make your own income by selling an eBook, images, videos, or apps through your blog. These are digital products that don’t require any manufacturing or physical inventory. You simply create them online and link to it on your blog, allowing your visitors to buy from you directly. One of the ways to do this is through an online course.
There are multiple software tools available now to create online courses with your expertise. You can set up an online course for a small fee and link it on your blog. Not only does this help your visitors learn more about what you do, you’ll be teaching them something valuable and earning cash for your expertise.
Protect Your Business with Online Tools
Once you start making money online with your blog, you’ll need to manage it efficiently. There are a ton of business management tools online, but the most important include online tax tools. These are tools that help self-employed or sole proprietorships such as bloggers with paying taxes on their online income.
It may seem like you can’t be taxed from online earnings, but the IRS can audit you at any time and plainly see where your income comes from. To protect yourself and your business, you should always use some type of tax tool to gain access to free tax filings, online tax advisors, and audit defense.
Use Content Marketing Tools to Expand Your Business
Once you set up advertising, you’ll want to bring in more traffic to your blog. You can use content marketing and social media to gain more visibility. These tools such as Buffer and Hootsuite make it easier to link to your best blog posts and attract new visitors.
