Blogging is
something that I do on a daily basis. I have six different blogs and post one
each one once per week. I also have a website where I post some fun writing
that is not for profit on a Sunday. My main blogs all have ways of earning
money. The question is how they do that and how can you benefit financially
from blogging.
Advertisement Revenue
The first
thing to do is look into advertisement revenue. This most popular option is
Google AdSense, which is used on this blog, but you could also opt for Chitika
and Value Click. Some of these are pay per click, where you gain a small amount
of money for each person who clicks on the adverts; others are pay per view,
where you gain a set amount for each 1000 views that your blog gains.
There are
pros and cons to both of these and you will need to look into all options.
Something that you need to remember is that this is a tortoise’s race and not a
hare’s. It is a long process and you need to update your blog everyday to earn
money through it. You will also need to promote your blog so that people know
that it is there and read it.
Affiliate Marketing
Another
popular option for bloggers is affiliate marketing. This is where you promote
other people’s products for a share of their profit. You use your affiliate
code in your posts and write on the topic to entice people so that they click
and buy the product. There are different options for affiliate marketing that
are legitimate and safe, including ClickBank and Commission Junkie. Check out
my post on using ClickBank for affiliate marketing.
Affiliate
marketing offers the chance to earn more money than advertisement revenue but
it is harder to gain sales. It is worth using both within your blogs to gain
the most out of making money online with your writing.
Use Your Blog to Promote Your Book
If you have
written a book, whether hard copy or eBook, then use your blog as a way to
promote it. You could opt for someone to write a review and post it on your
blog or you could write a description about everything the book includes. This
will help direct people to the download or store to buy from.
If you have
an affiliate option, you could make this clear in your post. This will help
others promote your book so you earn money. This will also help you gain more
exposure as a writer so people go to your blog posts to read more.
There are
many ways to monetise your blog. Look into the options that you have and find
out which ones will work best for you. Whichever you use, make sure that you
update your blog on a regular basis with posts that are helpful to others and
serve a purpose. Learn more about SEO to help your blog to rank highly and
