• Blogging can be a rewarding hobby an excellent
  way to share your enthusiasm for a specific
  subject. But make no mistake either as a side
  hustle or as a full-time occupation, it can also
  be a fantastic way of making money. Last year,
  via his blog, Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income
  earned over 2 million. True Valhallas Matthew
  is a 20-year-old game developer whos on track to
  make 500,000 from his blog this year. And Anil
  Agarwal of Bloggers Passion doesnt get rich, but
  his blog takes in around 70,000 a year. So this
  post will help if you want to make an additional
  1,000/month from your blog or are looking to
  leave your day job to blog full time.

25 ways to make money from blogging

1. Create a business directory

• The first way to Make Money from Blogging is to
  create a business directory. What kinds of goods
  or services do your audience mostly ask for
  advice on? Compile a list to sign up for your
  company directory, and then contact related
  companies. A tool such as the Business Directory
  Plugin makes getting started easy.

2. Promote an affiliate product

• The Second way to Make Money from Blogging is to
  promote an affiliate product. For most big-name
  bloggers, affiliate revenues represent a big
  chunk of revenue. For example, Pat Flynn made
  53K from affiliate sales last month, as opposed
  to just 9,500 from book sales. In general,
  search for partner goods with higher price
  points if it makes sense in your market, web
  hosting companies are a great choice, with
  payouts of anywhere from 60-130 per signup.

3. Sell ad space

• This is the approach in which most bloggers begin
  when trying to monetize their site. Bear in mind,
  however, that you are not limited to selling
  banner ad spots (which is generally an
  ineffective strategy these days). Consider other
  places that you can rent out room on your pop-up
  box, headers for social media, P.S. on your
  email newsletters think beyond the box (quite
  literally).

4. Offer services

• Although it might not make you wealthy to sell
  your services (look for passive income to do
  that!), its a great way to make some extra money
  and build your credibility. Offer services that
  are specifically linked to your blog subject
  (e.g. catering for a food blog), or freelance
  blogging services such as writing or graphic
  design.

8
5. Offer consulting services

• In almost every niche, theres a need for
  consultants. Pay by the hour for the advice
  youre probably still giving away for free by
  phone, email, or Skype.

6. Write sponsored posts

• Every day, expect to receive multiple supported
  post requests as you build up your blog. These
  native advertising can be a highly efficient way
  for advertisers to reach your audience in a
  non-threatening manner, and they can be a highly
  efficient way to make a lot of money for you.
  Only make sure the articles are genuinely
  interesting and important to your audience, and
  that the supported nature of the article is fully
  disclosed to you.

7. Offer coaching services

• Coaching is usually more of a one-on-one
  operation, close to coaching (while consulting is
  generally provided to organizations or teams).
  Put together a number of packages that you can
  offer hourly consultation, DIY packages, or
  unlimited packages of email advice.

11
8. Host webinars

• While many companies use them to generate leads,
  an alternative is also to host paid webinars.
  Just make sure youre providing outstanding value
  with so many free webinars out there, if you
  want to charge for it you need to deliver
  something very unique.

12
9. Host sponsored contests or giveaways

• Approach companies in your niche and offer to
  host a giveaway on your blog or social media or a
  contest. This will increase your followers
  knowledge of their business and when done right,
  they can also create a lot of leads for their
  business.

13
10. Teach an online course

• Do you want to design and completely host an
  online course on your blog? WordPress plugins
  such as Zippy Courses and LearnDash make it easy
  to get started. Of course, if you would prefer to
  host your course via an existing website for
  online education, look at Udemy or Skillshare.

14
11. Create a private community

• Using a free plugin like bbPress, build a virtual
  community on your site, or host it on Facebook
  using Facebook groups. Only make sure youre
  providing great value to make the monthly charge
  worthwhile with so many free groups out there.

12. Write an E-Book

• One of the ways to Make Money from Blogging is to
  write an E-Book. Do you have in-depth experience
  in your niche? Load it up on your blog into an
  ebook and sell it. Generally speaking, I would
  advise against selling it at least exclusively)
  on Amazon or Kobo, as you are likely to be able
  to charge far less. If you have a strong audience
  already built up, you can possibly move anywhere
  from 5 to a really short one, all the way up to
  39.

13. Sponsored social content

• On your Facebook profile, give corporations some
  airtime, or share supported tweets or Instagram
  pics. These are ridiculously fast and easy to
  publish, and, depending on the size of your
  audience, you can charge anywhere from 25-500
  per post.

17
14. Premium gated content

• Premium content an ebook, whitepaper, digital
  guide, etc. can mean any form of content you
  charge for. But pay-gated content is what Im
  referring to here. Basically, you have put some
  amazing content behind a paywall, meaning that
  visitors pay to access it. Using a plugin like
  MemberPress or Paid Memberships Pro, you can get
  your own paywall set up in 10 minutes or less.

18
15. Site sponsorship

• Some marketers are not happy with just getting a
  sponsored post or banner ad they want the full
  meal offer. A site sponsorship is where the
  website essentially has complete control of an
  advertiser (at least in terms of adverting
  exclusivity). This may mean theyre having banner
  advertising, pop-up mentions, the blog banner
  logo, etc.

16. Sell merchandise

• With a plugin like Woocommerce, adding a store
  page to your blog is simple and free). This can
  be a perfect way to make some extra cash from
  your blog, whether you sell handmade merchandise,
  your own digital items (E-junkie is a great
  low-cost option for this or other related
  products.

20
17. Sell templates

• A good design will save time and money for your
  audience. In almost every niche, templates will
  work company new client contract template
  exercise 30-day workout template wellness
  safe eating template for 3 months, etc.

21
18. Job board

• A perfect way to make your blog sticky is to
  build a work board on your website ensuring you
  get people back again and again. Its also a
  perfect way to make some extra money while
  offering a valuable service as well. ProBloggers
  Darren Rowse runs a hugely successful job board
  where he charges 70 for a listing for 30 days.
  With about 70 listings per month, with relatively
  little investment in time or resources, he brings
  in some decent earnings.

19. Private Bootcamp

• To help them reach a particular purpose, hold a
  Bootcamp for your audience. This fits well in the
  fitness niche (30-day Bootcamp get in shape),
  company (Launch your website boot camp), home
  and lifestyle (Makeover your living room for
  just 200), and many other niches.

23
20. Write tutorials

• One of the ways to Make Money from Blogging is to
  write tutorials. In-depth tutorials are great for
  social networking and interactions. They can,
  however, also be a great way to earn cash on your
  blog. There are a variety of forms in which you
  can do this including affiliate links for the
  items you use in your tutorial advertising your
  own products in the tutorial writing a tutorial
  to endorse the product of an advertiser (be clear
  that its a supported post), etc.

21. Take your expertise offline

• Online, your blog will make you money directly,
  but thats not your only choice. To offer your
  services as a local speaker or presenter,
  leverage the experience and skills you have built
  up through your blog.

25
22. In-content affiliate links

• Have you got an especially famous blog post that
  you want to monetize? Attach links to affiliates
  inside the content of your post. Dont you know
  where to start searching for affiliate programs?
  You can always start with the most common
  affiliate program Amazon or use an affiliate
  network like ShareASale or Clickbank to find
  relevant items.

23. Product reviews

• Reach out to the appropriate companies and offer,
  for a fee, to review their goods or services. Be
  sure to explain that a favorable review is not
  guaranteed (and that if you cant give the one
  you will return their money).

27
24. Dropship products

• Would you like to sell things on your blog, but
  dont want to deal with shipping and inventory?
  Dropshipping is an ideal way to sell very
  low-risk goods. The opportunity here is immense
  just look at what Wayfair furniture retailer has
  done using this model!

28
25. Create a resource page

• Last but not least way to Make Money from
  Blogging is to create a resource page. Lists of
  resources inform the viewer what tools, goods, or
  services you are using and/or recommending.
  Theyre a perfect way to provide your audience
  with a valuable service, while still making you
  money through partner connections or paid
  placements. Just make sure to report explicitly
  the connections you gain from and which ones you
  dont.
