How do you actually make money blogging? Is it possible to live on the income from a blog and what opportunities it opens up to its creator.
Instructions
Step 1
Participation in affiliate programs
You should use affiliate programs if you are convinced of the products you recommend.
Affiliate programs work like this: the blog owner recommends third-party products that he has tested himself, in return for which he receives a small commission from the purchases of customers who are subscribers. In most cases, the percentage is 20-30%, sometimes up to 50% is possible.
Step 2
Advertising articles
These are the so-called Advertorials from the English. "Advertising" is an advertisement, and "editorial" is an editorial article.
It looks like this: an article is published on the blog that is suitable for the target group. This is an advertising text that tells about a company, product or service, disguised as a regular publication. The more subscribers, the more attractive it is for companies paying for articles. However, here you need to be careful and choose only the options that really have value, otherwise the excess of advertising texts can scare away subscribers.
Step 3
Earning money on blogger's own products
A fairly effective form of earnings for a blogger. For example, by running a fashion blog, you can also make money selling clothes. It can be any proprietary product that solves the specific problem of your readers (e-books, video course, or coaching programs).
Step 4
Cooperation with entrepreneurs
Travel blogs are becoming more and more popular. If there is a sponsor, there is an opportunity to publish your own book. Subsequently, bloggers offer books to their subscribers.
Step 5
Blogging will not lead you to make quick money on the internet. A blog is, rather, a platform where you can lead your own topic, tell about the product or service being sold, the brand, and also demonstrate your expert status. In addition, it is an opportunity to receive orders as a freelancer or acquire new clients as a trainer or consultant. A blog is a long-term investment of your own resources.
