So many people want to get into blogging, but they just don’t know how. Writing about things you love is often a dream job for a lot of people. But the barrier to entry for them can often be wondering how and why they can make money doing this! Because when you go to work or you sell a product, you know where the money will come from. But where does it come from when you blog? Let’s take a look at seven ways that you can make money from blogging.

  1. Affiliate Marketing

 

First up, there’s affiliate marketing. This is where you will make a percentage of any sales that you refer. You’ll add specific links to your content that promote or recommend certain products or services. Because these links are trackable, the retailers that you recommend will know that you have encouraged that sale, and you will then earn a pre-agreed percentage of that sale. It’s often the easiest to get started with.

 

  1. Display Advertising

 

Next, the second (or sometimes first) option that bloggers like to go with, is advertising. Display advertising is where you put ads up on your site. Most of the time, you’re going to benefit from working with notable companies, like Google Adsense, that allow you to ad custom adverts onto your blog, that will be relevant to your audience. Here, you can be paid each time adverts show, or when people click on them.

 

  1. Memberships

 

Getting onto more complex ideas, you then have the idea of launching a membership section to your site. You may even want to start out by launching a membership site to begin with. Either way, this is where you will charge a fee for people to use your site, view the content, or interact with the features that you offer on your blog.

 

  1. eBooks

 

Moving on to the idea of products that you can sell from your blog, a popular option would be an ebook. Now, this will often have to be something that you launch when you feel that the engagement levels are right with your audience. You can create a book that is relevant to your content and that you know your audience would be interested in purchasing. The best part is, you only need to create the one product, and then you can make recurring passive income from it.

 

  1. Courses

 

As a step on from that, you could also look to launch a course on your website. Again, this would be something that is related to your content and relevant to your audience. As long as it adds value to their lives, it’s something that can often sell really well.

 

  1. Products

 

Then, you’ve got the option to take the product idea to the next level with physical product lines. Ideally these should be related to your blogging niche, like a clothing line, stationary, or technology pieces. You may even want to do pop up sales and look into point of sale payment processing so you can invite your audience along. This allows you to add another dimension to your blog.

 

  1. Services

And then, there’s also a range of services that you could provide too. Here, you could look to provide freelance writing services or you could consult on business. You could also offer coaching services in something that you know a lot about too – like your blogging niche. This could be something that you look to do online and offer via the internet, or you could also look to meet your clients in person if you’re interested in expanding your business.
