Earning money through blogging is certainly a familiar concept for many, as news and information about the opportunity have surfaced in the media at some point. There are influencers who make a living through their blogs. However, achieving significant or even sufficient income solely through blogging is not an instant process. Of course, anything is possible if you have the time to write -a lot! In this blog, I’ll focus on making money with blog advertisements.
How to Earn with a Blog?
It is possible to earn money with a blog, but to achieve substantial income, one must first put in a considerable amount of unpaid work. The more popular a blog is, meaning the more readers it has, the greater the potential to earn. This is because there are more potential clickers on links and ads, and through them, more potential buyers.
However, earning through blogging is not as simple as starting a blog and immediately generating income. A notable exception is if you are already a public figure, in which case the path to income is likely shorter.
For a blog to succeed financially and otherwise, the following is needed:
- Regularly updated content, i.e., blog posts.
- Engaged audience, i.e., readers.
- Increasingly new readers from search engines and social media.
- At least several thousand readers per month.
- A defined theme (and thereby a target audience) for which content is produced.
Getting Started with earning through blogging
The easiest way to generate income through blogging is by placing commercial links and banners in the blog. This means incorporating text and image links in your posts, through which you earn a certain amount or percentage from resulting purchases or registrations. In this way, your job is only to create compelling content and attract new blog readers!
Earn from sales through blog advertisements
Affiliate partnerships can be entered into with blogs of any size since advertisers incur no losses if they pay only for link clicks or resulting sales (performance-based) rather than visibility.
If you have a blog, you can register for free with affiliate platforms in places like the following and start earning:
- TradeTracker.com. (Join as a publisher immediately!)
- Adtraction
- Tradedoupler
All these services function similarly, but the advertisers involved may be different entities. When participating in campaigns on these platforms, remember to always read the advertiser’s guidelines on how to use links or images. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in missed earnings.
Earn from blog ad clicks
You can also place Google Ads on your blog, earning revenue every time someone clicks on an ad on your blog site. In other words, income from every click!
