1. AFFILIATE MARKETING
If you find a product or service you like, you can link it to your blog through the affiliate program.
In practice, when a reader clicks on your link, you can get a small commission, or compensation, for either a click or a successful product sale. This is affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is great, if not the best way to make money. After all, it’s also suitable for smaller blogs, as you don’t need thousands of visitors to be able to earn worthily this way.
With quality content, only 100 post readers are enough to bring in multiple conversions.
2. AD NETWORKS (CPC AND CPM ADS)
One of the most common and well-known ways in which bloggers make money is to place ads on their site. There are two types of ads which is popular.
CPC or PPC ads Cost per click / pay per click ads are usually banners that you place in your content. Each time a Reader clicks on your ad, you will be paid a pre-agreed amount per click.
CPM ads: CPM ads, or “cost per 1000 impressions,” are ads that cost you fixed amount of money based on how many people view your ads.
Perhaps the most popular network for placing such ads is Google AdSense . With this program, you don’t have to be in direct contact with advertisers; All you have to do is place a banner on your site, Google selects the ads that are relevant to your content, and viewers click on the ads.
There are many similar programs available if you find that AdSense does not work for you, like Chitika, Infolinks, and Media.net.
3. SELLING ADVERTISING SPACE PRIVATELY
Working with ad networks isn't the only option for selling ads. If you have enough traffic, advertisers can come directly to you and ask you to place their ads on your site.
You can also contact the advertisers yourself. The main difference from the above option is that there is no broker / ad network in the process, which means you can set your own ad prices, and earn more money per ad.
Private ads can be sold in the form of banners or links. You can even make money by writing sponsored posts where you write or review an advertiser’s product or service.
The company can pay you a fixed price per article, for example 500 euros per publication.
There are many ways to make money with private advertising. For example, you can charge a one-time fee for an article link or product mention. If you host banner ads, you may charge your partner monthly.
4. CONSULTING AND SPARRING
Consulting may not be everyone’s thing, but sometimes done, it can be an interesting and varied job that usually pays a reasonable fee.
For example, an interior designer with a comprehensive portfolio and a quality blog can sell a consultation on interior design for 300 euros per hour.
You can do sparrings, ie consultations in almost any field. You just have to be confident in your skills, and the value you can bring to your customers.
5. SALES OF DIGITAL PRODUCTS
If you don’t want to promote other people’s products on your site or want to increase your revenue stream, you might want to consider selling digital products.
Selling digital products is one of the most lucrative ways for a blogger. In practice, the products can be, for example:
E-books
Online courses / workshops
Images are videos or music that people can use in their own content
Applications, website add-ons or themes
Just remember that if you are planning to start working on a digital product, make sure that your product is relevant and useful to your readers.
Many bloggers make the mistake of assuming they are developing a product that readers need. First listen to your readers and then create a digital product that meets their needs.
6. MARKETING SERVICES THROUGH A BLOG
It is also possible to sell physical products through your blog and make money this way. Instead of thinking that your blog is making money, think of your blog as a content marketing tool that directs visitors to your business website.
The possibilities for such a blog, linked to the company’s operations, are virtually endless.
You could sell handmade products, books, manufactured products and more. Or you may already have a business and decide to set up a blog to translate loyal customers.
For example, suppose you know how to restore furniture, and you do it to your acquaintances every now and then. You could use a blog to attract visitors to your website, which lists the current restored furniture for sale.
Your blog may contain topics related to DIY fixes. In a way, it may seem suspicious because you want people to buy your products, but it also helps build brand and gain recognition.
This concept can also applied to services in all types of industries. For example, if you offered electronic repair services instead of physical products, you could still use the same blog concept to increase brand awareness and turn new customers.
