Related Article: Blogger to Business- My Blogging Journey
Making money from my two blogs was not easy- it took a lot work, a lot of learning, and a whole lot of writing. If you're not a writer then blogging is not right for you. Maybe you can look into making online videos through YouTube and earn money from that.
When people find out that making money from blogging is possible, they're in a complete shock.
I've taught many people how they too can monetize their blog and this post will tell you ways to do it.
I like to do Pay Per Lead because the pay is better than Pay Per Click and also I'm not selling anything. Income through affiliate marketing can be passive if you have the traffic coming to your blog. My income is continuous and I'm making money throughout the day and even in my sleep! If you're not incorporating affiliate links in your blog post, you're missing out on a lot of money!
You work hard at advertising your blog post in the beginning and then once traffic starts to hit, the money starts pouring in. You can use affiliate banners but I like to use textual links within my blog post because I get a better conversion rate that way.
Affiliate Marketing Programs I like to use:
1. Panthera Network
2. Google AdSense
3. MaxBounty
4. ROI Rocket
5. Amazon Affiliate Program
So there you have it, ways to make money with your blog. Remember, it takes traffic to make money. Traffic = Money

Affiliate Marketing
I wanted to start off talking about earning money through affiliate marketing because this has been my main way to make money from my blogs. No need to sell anything and all you have to do is write a post and include affiliate links in it. What ever your niche is, find a affiliate marketing program that fits your blog topics. There are 4 different types of affiliate programs:- Pay Per Click
- Pay Per Sale
- Pay Per Lead
- Pay Per Call
I like to do Pay Per Lead because the pay is better than Pay Per Click and also I'm not selling anything. Income through affiliate marketing can be passive if you have the traffic coming to your blog. My income is continuous and I'm making money throughout the day and even in my sleep!

Sponsored Post
Sponsored post has been becoming very popular lately since businesses sees how much of an influence bloggers are. Bloggers get paid by brands to write post about their company or a pre-written article that is given to the blogger to be posted. The payment is usually a one time deal so if doing sponsored post is the only way bloggers make money they have to do it a lot. But don't make every post be a sponsored post or your readers will not think you're trustworthy and just out to make money. Make sure your sponsored post flows with what your blog is about. If you're looking to make money doing sponsored post, head over to my blog post that has a master list of companies.Paid Advertisement
If your blog has good traffic, you can sell a ad space on your blog. You can do monthly or yearly placement banner deals. Make sure to not flood your blog with advertising banners or you'll take the risk of your blog uploading slow and also it looks spammy. I actually don't do this with my own blog because I have no space for it. I know I'm missing out on money but I prefer to add my affiliate banner ads.Sell Your Own Products
Have you created a product? Place it on your blog! Write blog posts about the different products you have created- do posts like tutorials, how to's, etc. You must write a post in a way to show the reason why your readers needs your product which better helps to make a sale. The more you explain about your product, the better chances you'll make a sale. I currently don't have products to sell but I help businesses promote their products on this blog- that's why I'm a brand influencer! And that's something you can do as well is ask a product review blogger to review your products on their blog and have them link back to your own blog.Write eBooks (Books), Courses, and Seminars
Are you a very knowledgeable at a certain niche, write a eBook about it. Write a blog post teaser about your eBook and then add a link to your eBook so your readers can buy it. I haven't written a eBook before but so many people say I should, but I never have the time to do it. I'll be adding it on my To-Do list. I've seen many bloggers like Problogger make a lot of money doing eBooks and you can too! You can create courses to help bloggers with what ever topic you're knowledgeable in and also do paid seminars.Blog Flipping
I haven't done this before but you can start a blog, create content, build traffic to it for a year or two, and then turn around and sell it. A great place to go to sell your blog is Flippa. Also you can sell your domain URL and Apps.Sell Your Services
Are you a freelance writer, speaker, or maybe a consultant? You can sell your services on your blog. If you're a expert with a certain niche then you can sell your services to your readers. I've been seeing bloggers doing this a lot lately and it's the prefect way to get your name out there, especially if you do speaking events.Sell Merchandise
I've seen a lot of bloggers sell t-shirts that includes their blog logo on it. You can create pens, buttons, bumper stickers, etc. with your blog logo on it. Have your readers buy your merchandise and have them display it on sites like Instagram and tag them for your appreciation of them buying your merchandise.Donations
Don't be shy to ask for donation for your hard work. You can place a donation button on your blog so your readers can donate to you.
So there you have it, ways to make money with your blog. Remember, it takes traffic to make money. Traffic = Money
