Earn from blogging? Admit it, the reason why you want to blog, better yet, be a rockstar blogger, is because you want to earn from your blog, right? You want to grow your business from there. And I right or am I right? Of course, I am. And I know you do want to earn from blogging. The most important thing to remember is that you have to find ways to monetize your blog. The money won’t just come to you if you don’t offer anything. There are actually a lot of ways to do this but let’s just focus on three of them.
1. Offer Your Own Products or Services
If you have your own business and you offer your own products and services, better offer them on your blog as well. But you have to know first what kind of audiences you have, what are their problems that you can help solve and how much are they willing to shell out to pay for whatever you are offering. In other words, at least have a targeted market so your products and services fit their needs and solve their problems. You need to do a market study to figure this all out but in the end, you can really profit big from this. And because you see your own products, you can also offer affiliate programs to others who can help you sell for a commission.
2. Earn From Blogging Through Advertising
When you place advertising on your blog, you can earn some good money. Either you work with a company who then advertises on your blog or you can look for sponsors yourself. There are many ways to put advertising on your site. There are blog advertising platforms that you can join in or sign up with. Just do a bit of research first because with some of these programs, you wouldn’t be able to control what kinds of ads get put up on your site and for all you know you might be leading traffic out of your blog. So check first before signing up with a blog advertising platform.
3. Affiliate Marketing
One great way to earn from blogging is to become an affiliate. This means that you find other services and products that could help solve your audiences’ problems and posting about it on your blog with matching graphics. images, textual ads, etc. When you blog about these affiliate products or services that you are promoting either via an article on your site or a podcast or videocast or infographic, your readers will come to know them and understand them and eventually buy them if they see that these products and services can really help them. You then get a commission for every product or service that you sold.
Overall, there are lots of ways to earn from blogging. Don’t just choose one. Explore as many ways as you can and these three ways could be your priorities. Make multiple streams of income using your blog. You can offer low-cost entry products at first and eventually offer the high-end ones like coaching and other personal services. You must focus on what kind of products or services you want to offer as you pave your way towards rockstar blogging.
