1. Ad networks

This is a very popular way to make money from your Blog. Everyone is familiar with this. If you are a beginner and just started you can try this way to make money as a blogger.

With ad networks, you can earn a good amount of money. Ad networks run ads on your website or Blog. And when one of your readers visits your blog and clicks on the ad, you make money.

Isn’t this a cool way to make money from ads?
There are many ad networks. You can choose anyone according to your blog and interest.

Here are some ad networks you can check out –

• Google Adsense
• Ezoic
• Mediavine
• Media.net
• Adthrive
• Taboola
• PropellerAds

I have used Google Adsense and it’s a great ad network for beginners. The minimum payout value is $100.

2. Affiliate Marketing

This is also a very famous and easy way to make money from your blog. All you have to do is promote a great product on your blog and when someone buys that product from your affiliate link, you will get paid.
Here are some great affiliate networks that you can join to make passive income through your blog –

• Amazon Affiliate Program
• ShareASale
• Awin
• Commission Junction

You can fill in your details to their platform and when you get accepted you can promote your favorite products on your blog.

3. Sponsored Posts

This is my favorite way to make money from blogging. If you think that ads can annoy the readers then you can make money from sponsored posts. 

I have worked with many brands through my blog. Some of them are – Tommy Hilfiger, Mamaearth, The Universal Store, and Intellifluence.

So what are sponsored posts –

There are many brands that like to advertise their products and services through Websites. They offer you cash for your opinion about their products and services.
You can write for them and promote their products on your blog.

If you have great traffic and potential audience on your website, brands can pay you anything between $100-$2k

No one can give an exact number because it depends on your website metrics and the brand’s Budget. Always try to get to know what is the budget of the brand, and then offer them your rates.

I charge a minimum of $100-$150 for a sponsored post.

How can you get Sponsored posts on your Blog? 

First thing first your Website States must be good. You must maintain your social media accounts, website content, and audience.

The second thing is to make a media kit. If you don’t know what is a media kit you can check my detailed post here –

4. Sell your services

Now if you are a blogger, one thing is sure you have many skills. You are a content writer, Graphic designer, Social Media Manager, Marketing Head, Virtual assistant, Photographer, Editor, CEO of your business, and what not!

I remember when I was growing my first blog I have done all the work by myself. I have learned so many great skills from my Blog. 

So if you have any skills, you can start monetizing them. How? You can offer content writing services through your blog. I sometimes do work as a freelance content writer too.

If you can design a logo or website for businesses then you can offer this service too. It’s easy to sell your services from your blog because you have the whole portfolio ready – which is your website.

So in this manner, people can see your work and buy your services from your blog. This is the most genuine way to make money from blogging.

5. Sell Digital products

I love this way to make some good passive income. You can sell ebooks, digital planners, Templates, or anything that you are good at making.
You can set up a shop on your website to sell these digital products.

6. Consultation

If you consider yourself a pro in a specific category then you can start offering consulting services. If you are an expert in mental health issues, people will come to you for consulting their issues.
If you have a great knowledge of digital marketing then you can offer your audience 1:1 coaching.

In this way, you can make a handsome amount of money from your blog.

7. Banner ads

A website has lots of space. You can place advertisements on the sidebar of your blog, or on top of a blog post. Brands will reach out to you to place a banner ad for their products on your website.
And you can charge cash from them on a monthly basis.

Example: $60/month

8. Get paid to review

If you like trying new products or services you can reach out to the brand and tell them that you are interested in their products. The brand will give its products and services free of cost to you for review on your blog.

You can ask for a cash amount too.

9. Paid membership

You can produce exclusive Content just for your paid subscribers. You can give them expert tips that you haven’t shared on your blog. Your readers will Enjoy in being your community. You can ask them if they want to join the plus space of your blog.

Ask them if they want premium content. You can charge a minimal fee per month from them. 

10. Course selling

If you are an expert in any subject. You can make your own course and sell it from your website. Make sure you are adding value to the course. Never fool people by selling them a trashy course that has no value.

You can record a webinar and for that, you can charge a fee from people. I do not recommend doing this on your blog. Ebook selling is much better than course selling.

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I love making this for you. Let me know which ways you are going to try for your blog to make money?
