You will master tried-and-true strategies to make money that can work for both new and established blogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If one of your driving factors for <a href=other/_-2>starting a blog<\/a> is to make money online, then this guide is for you. For those who work full-time jobs, earning money from your blog is an excellent way to generate side income. For those who plan on making a living by blogging, it\u2019s possible to achieve this, with your blog providing a regular source of revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can you start monetizing your blog from day one?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pro bloggers suggest that you not rush into trying to make money at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important that you avoid giving your readers the impression that you are all about advertising and making income. It\u2019s also notable that your options for monetization strategies with a new audience are limited anyway. Better to wait until you have a more established blog readership. However, you shouldn\u2019t spring into monetization mode as soon as you hit a certain number of site visitors either. Finding a middle ground is important.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"gutenberg-gray-block\">\n  \n\n<p>For example, Tim Ferriss explains in <a href=_-496.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">his book \u201cTools of Titans<\/a>\u201d that he didn\u2019t start accepting advertisements when he <a href=_-5.html>started a podcast<\/a> until he hit 100,000+ downloads. This example could also be applied to blogging.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Also, keep in mind that <a href=_-156.html>every blog is different<\/a>. You might expect 10,000 visitors in a month or in a day. It really depends on your niche. The important thing is to make a plan and keep your goals in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To summarize, you don\u2019t have to go into monetization mode from the first minute that you launch your blog, but you should have your <a href=_-3.html>online business<\/a> monetization strategy in place from day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve debunked a few misconceptions, let\u2019s look at 7 different ways that you can earn some income from blogs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=_-328.html alt=\"ways to make money blogging\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-ways\">7 ways to make money with a blog<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul id=\"\" class=\"gutenberg-steps-list\">\n    <li>\n    <a href=other/_-4#affiliate-marketing\">\n      <span>Affiliate marketing (promoting another\u2019s products or services)<\/span>\n    <\/a>\n  <\/li>\n    <li>\n    <a href=other/_-4#selling-products\">\n      <span>Selling products (personal digital and physical products)<\/span>\n    <\/a>\n  <\/li>\n    <li>\n    <a href=other/_-4#selling-services\">\n      <span>Selling services (consultant or design services)<\/span>\n    <\/a>\n  <\/li>\n    <li>\n    <a href=other/_-4#selling-advertising\">\n      <span>Selling advertising (AdSense, direct ads, other)<\/span>\n    <\/a>\n  <\/li>\n    <li>\n    <a href=other/_-4#requiring-revenue\">\n      <span>Requiring revenue (subscription-based products) <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n  <\/li>\n    <li>\n    <a href=other/_-4#selling-blogs\">\n      <span>Selling blogs (building\/growing blogs for sale)<\/span>\n    <\/a>\n  <\/li>\n    <li>\n    <a href=other/_-4#other\">\n      <span>Other ways (sponsorships, donations, memberships)<\/span>\n    <\/a>\n  <\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n\n<p>If you have a relatively new blog or one that doesn\u2019t receive a lot of traffic, then the following are monetization strategies that you can put into place to start the revenue-generation process.<\/p>\n\n\n<div \n  id=\"\" \n  class=\"gutenberg-border-block\">\n  \n\n<p><strong>[VIDEO] How Much Money You Can Make Blogging in 2023 ???? | Examples of Income Reports from 5 Different Blogs:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u25ba&nbsp;<a href=firstsiteguide465d.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Subscribe for more useful videos<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How Much Money You Can Make Blogging in 2021 ???? | Examples of Income Reports from 5 Different Blogs\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" class=\"lazy-iframe\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qIV7JbekDVE?list=PLUBx1j_OjbKIKRK2Mq7bjSlfhPMuJLhH1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"affiliate-marketing\">1. Affiliate marketing (promoting another\u2019s products or services)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Where does the money come from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this may sound like a relatively new form of marketing, it is as old as online selling itself. Affiliate marketing significantly took off <a href=_-140.html>back in 2010<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Affiliate marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting other people\u2019s or company\u2019s products. You receive a commission every time a person buys an online product based on your recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mechanics of this process are simple. It starts by finding an interesting product that you like, then making an effort to promote it to other people, and, in the end, earning a piece of the profit (commission) for each successful sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A legitimate approach is to be an affiliate for anything that you have paid for and used on your blog. So, if you use a <a href=_-497.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">StudioPress<\/a> WordPress theme, <a href=_-498.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Constant Contact<\/a> email marketing software, <a href=_-173.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Bluehost<\/a> hosting, or any other product with an affiliate program, be sure to create a page on your blog with resources aimed at other bloggers in your niche. As your blog grows in popularity, other bloggers will want to follow in your footsteps and may sign up for the same services you use, thus generating some revenue for you.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gutenberg-read-more\">\n  <div class=\"gutenberg-read-more-left\">Read more:<\/div>\n  <div class=\"gutenberg-read-more-right\">\n    <a href=_-324.html \n            >\n      Affiliate Marketing: What is It and How Does It Work?    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to find affiliate deals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three main verticals that you can use to search for affiliate opportunities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Direct affiliate programs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Affiliate networks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shopping sites affiliate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Direct affiliate programs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Many companies offer direct affiliate programs. In some cases, it\u2019s easier to deal directly with the business that sells the products or services that you are planning to promote. Plus, you could always negotiate a better commission once you start selling more of their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find affiliate programs, go to Google, and perform a simple search. Use the following query \u201c[niche\/product] affiliate program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you are running a fitness blog. You would do the following search:<br>\u201cfitness affiliate program,\u201d and here are the results:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=_-499.html alt=\"Affiliate Programs\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you have a hard time finding what affiliate products you can promote, check your competitors and popular blogs within your niche. Successful bloggers know which products are reliable and convert the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Affiliate networks<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Affiliate networks are marketplace sites that connect publishers (bloggers) with merchants who want to have their products promoted online. In some cases, this makes it easier for bloggers who want to promote multiple products to find relevant offers in one place. Each network has its pros and cons, but overall they make life easier for publishers.

Don\u2019t just repeat information found on the product or service sales page, but write about your experience with it. People can distinguish a thorough, honest review from one that\u2019s done purely to generate revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a resource page on your blog of the top products and services that you recommend, including an affiliate link for each, plus a link to your in-depth review, if applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get banners for the top products and services that you know will appeal to your audience and put them in your blog\u2019s header, sidebar, and at the end of your posts. Affiliate product banners are also great placeholders for future advertising spots that you may want to sell when you start getting a substantial amount of traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email your mailing list whenever you write a new review or a particular affiliate program has a great special going on that your subscribers would be interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be prepared to do special promotions on your blog and email list around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It&#8217;s the hottest time to share affiliate product sales and earn some significant income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Important reminder: Whenever you promote an affiliate product, be sure to include a disclaimer in your review, on your resource page, or in your emails that you are an affiliate of the product. It\u2019s a good way to build trust with your audience, and it\u2019s a requirement in some countries like the <a href=_-506.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">United States<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gutenberg-read-more\">\n  <div class=\"gutenberg-read-more-left\">Read more:<\/div>\n  <div class=\"gutenberg-read-more-right\">\n    <a href=_-174.html \n            >\n      Ultimate List of the Top Affiliate Programs to Earn Money    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"selling-products\">2. Selling products&nbsp;(personal digital and physical products)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many bloggers start out making money from affiliate promotions. However, many of them also diversify and begin selling their own digital or physical products. For example, Darren Rose shares that his number one source of income comes from selling eBooks and courses. These products take time and work to create, but can be a lucrative channel of revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Digital products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtual goods can take many forms like eBooks, courses, software, and reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some stats about digital products sold online:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>eBooks are the fastest growing digital product online with $16 billion in sales in 2016.<br>Combined annual growth is projected to be around 16% between 2016 and 2020.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The online courses market (including corporate and universities) is massive and expected to grow 5% from 2015-2020.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) market is estimated at around $78 billion in 2015 and is projected to grow into a $132 billion dollar industry in 2020 (69%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two approaches that you can take to sell your digital products online:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Sell directly on your website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sell through established marketplaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these methods are legitimate but have different pros and cons. Let\u2019s look at each technique in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sell directly on your website<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, this is the preferred method, since you have more control of the sale process and can customize your sales pages. Also, you don\u2019t have to pay a big cut of your profits to another platform helping to sell your product. However, you are on your own when it comes to organizing how everything will look and work on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sell through established marketplaces<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, this could be the way to go. One benefit is that by placing your product on an existing platform, you tap into visitors and established fans of this marketplace. Thus, you don\u2019t have to spend as much time and energy promoting your products. The downside of this approach is that you would have to pay a certain percentage of your profit to the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some platforms that you can check out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=_-507.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Envato<\/a> is the most popular place to sell website templates, HTML code, marketing themes, PSDs, and plugins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=_-32.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon<\/a> is the most popular place to sell eBooks, but you can also sell apps and gaming files for download.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=click36ce.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Udemy<\/a> is the most popular place to share your knowledge and sell online courses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are more marketplaces that you can find online. It all depends on what kind of digital products you are planning to sell. Do your research and find what fits your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gutenberg-read-more\">\n  <div class=\"gutenberg-read-more-left\">Read more:<\/div>\n  <div class=\"gutenberg-read-more-right\">\n    <a href=_-401.html \n            >\n      15 Best Sites and Apps to Sell Stuff Online    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Physical products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with digital products, you can look into selling real goods through your blog. It\u2019s common for a blogger to sell digital products, but sometimes bloggers also create merchandise such as t-shirts, posters, and hats to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start selling through your blog, you will have some start-up expenses. You will also need to invest some time. But, selling a product online is easier than ever these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example of how Gary Vaynerchuk created an <a href=_-54.html>online store<\/a> with his swag:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=_-508.html alt=\"Online store\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>We are not talking about setting up a full-blown online store. If you want to do that, you would have to consider a different solution, like <a href=indexd712.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">WooCommerce<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gutenberg-read-more\">\n  <div class=\"gutenberg-read-more-left\">Read more:<\/div>\n  <div class=\"gutenberg-read-more-right\">\n    <a href=_-509.html \n            >\n      How to Sell Digital and Physical Products Online    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"selling-services\">3. Selling services (consultant or design services)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An attractive approach that many bloggers use to make money is to offer various services to their readers. These services might include personal coaching, consulting, writing, design, training, or other <a href=_-200.html>freelance services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example of how bloggers sell their services on their blog websites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"480\" src=_-510.html alt=\"example of how bloggers sell services\" class=\"wp-image-2227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/selling-services-blogging-1024x480.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/selling-services-blogging-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/selling-services-blogging-768x360.jpg 768w, https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/selling-services-blogging.jpg 1042w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how you decide to sell services through your blog, you cannot expect people to immediately come rushing in to check out what you have to offer. You need to design a marketing approach that will help you to spread the word about your services and reach out to potential customers. Only then will you be able to actually sell your services online and generate revenue and ROI (return on investment).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"selling-advertising\">4. Selling advertising (AdSense, direct ads, other)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to make money from a blog is to sell ads. Some people even create blogs with this goal in mind. It\u2019s an entirely viable option and one of the legitimate ways to earn money online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the essential factors for making your blog advertisable include the amount of site traffic, the blog\u2019s design, and stability. Without these strong points, you cannot expect that a serious advertiser will be interested in your blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need around 10k unique visitors per month to your blog to get on the radar of potential advertisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The web design should be professional, and your blog should have allocated ad spaces. You also need to have constant site traffic so that advertisers will not feel like their money is going to waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different types of ads that you can run on your blog, and some approaches work better for one case than another. Below are the most popular ad options that you can choose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google AdSense<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google AdSense is the most effective way to monetize a blog. It can provide a respectable income once your blog starts getting massive traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you are getting 1,000 visits a day. That means that you can easily expect $200 to $300 a month by leveraging your blog traffic. Place your GA ads wisely to get more clicks. After all, it\u2019s all about more clicks = more money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=_-321.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adsense<\/a> is one of the most popular options when it comes to ads. It\u2019s a Google product that lets website owners make money by placing targeted ads on their sites. You, as a website publisher, are paid per click (PPC) when visitors click on (or view, in some cases) the ads. You don\u2019t have to invest any money or work into the process, as the advertiser will put ads on your blog and pay you every time someone clicks on the ad located on your blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will have to create an Adsense campaign that revolves around your blog. It\u2019s important to be careful with which ads you choose to put on your blog because having ads irrelevant to your niche will bring you no results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s in your best interest to do this right and avoid posting ads that are completely unrelated to your blog or your content. If you are running a <a href=_-23.html>fashion blog<\/a>, it would be a good idea to advertise fashion lines, retailers, and fashion brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most frequently asked question and the hardest one to answer is definitely \u2013 \u201cHow much money can I make from Adsense?\u201d. It\u2019s commonly believed that earnings from 1,000 ad impressions are $1 across the global network. In reality, prices paid on Adsense are dynamic and set by auction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many websites generate real revenue through Adsense, but you need to try it to find out what you could earn on your site. Here are some <a href=_-511.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">success stories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to spend time optimizing the ads that you are running to increase your earnings potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Banner ads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your niche, you can start selling ad space directly to advertisers once you hit a higher traffic volume. You can choose to sell ads directly or use platforms like BuySellAds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Direct ads<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With this method, you are not relying on third parties to create an advertisement for your blog. Instead, you are reaching out to advertisers on your own and making a direct deal with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example from GaryVee on how to sell ads on your blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Want to get advertisers on your blog?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" class=\"lazy-iframe\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UgvjT6W31hM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Using this method, you will be able to earn more from your ads, but you will need to put in some work to find these deals. To get great deals, your blog needs to have good reachability and good traffic. Overwise, advertisers won&#8217;t consider placing ads on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BuySellAds or similar platforms<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With this service, you can sell and manage ads through their platform. You just put a snippet of code onto your blog where you want particular ad sizes and types to be displayed. It\u2019s also a great platform to use in researching your traffic volume versus how much you can charge for ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>An <a href=_-512.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/buy.buysellads.com\/directory\/bikeexif\/checkout\/new\">automotive site<\/a> sells a 125&#215;125 banner for $895 per month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <a href=_-513.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/buy.buysellads.com\/directory\/designshack\/checkout\/new\">site about design<\/a> charges $2.50 &#8211; $4.00 per 1,000 impressions per month for ad placements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Selling ads has the potential to generate continually increasing amounts of revenue based on your ability to drive more traffic to your blog. Be sure to create an advertising page on your blog and update your metrics (traffic, social audience, email list subscribers, etc.) regularly so that you can increase your ad pricing on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gutenberg-read-more\">\n  <div class=\"gutenberg-read-more-left\">Read more:<\/div>\n  <div class=\"gutenberg-read-more-right\">\n    <a href=_-514.html \n            >\n      How to Sell Ads on Your Blog    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"requiring-revenue\">5. Requiring revenue (subscription-based products) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recurring revenue or continuity income is very popular in the world of blogs because it\u2019s the best way to ensure a stable revenue stream on your blog and have money coming in regularly. It\u2019s an easy thing to pull off if you consistently publish content of high value for your target audience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common recurring revenue technique you can see online is membership. The membership model is far more beneficial in the long term than selling e-books in terms of growth and income. If you decide to pursue this course of action, your number one concern should be retention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example of a premium membership from <a href=index-3160.html#join\" title=\"https:\/\/mixergy.com\/go-premium\/#join\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mixergy<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"581\" src=_-515.html alt=\"premium membership from Mixergy\" class=\"wp-image-2230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mixergy-premium-membership-1024x581.png 1024w, https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mixergy-premium-membership-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mixergy-premium-membership-768x436.png 768w, https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mixergy-premium-membership-1536x871.png 1536w, https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mixergy-premium-membership.png 2038w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You will need to continually publish quality content to keep members from canceling their membership, while also generating new members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"selling-blogs\">6. Selling blogs (building\/growing blogs for sale)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Selling your blog may be the last thing on your mind at this point. However, if you have a blog that isn\u2019t directly tied to your name, products, or services, and mostly depends on ad revenue, you may want to consider selling your blog later down the road. The more traffic, quality content, and advertising dollars you earn with your blog, the higher the potential selling price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are talking about earning six figures for a sale if your blog is reputable and well-established. How do you know that your blog is worth selling? You will start receiving unsolicited offers to sell your blog. When this happens, it\u2019s a definite sign that you should explore the idea of selling your blog to the highest bidder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a couple of examples of blogs for sale on <a href=_-516.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Flippa<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"478\" src=_-517.html alt=\"examples of blogs for sale on Flippa\" class=\"wp-image-2232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blogs-for-sale-flippa-1024x478.png 1024w, https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blogs-for-sale-flippa-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blogs-for-sale-flippa-768x359.png 768w, https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blogs-for-sale-flippa-1536x717.png 1536w, https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blogs-for-sale-flippa.png 1898w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let the final prize make you speed up your decision process. Selling your blog is a serious affair from both a business and legal perspective, so make sure to properly assess the value of your blog before making it available on the market.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gutenberg-read-more\">\n  <div class=\"gutenberg-read-more-left\">Read more:<\/div>\n  <div class=\"gutenberg-read-more-right\">\n    <a href=_-518.html \n            >\n      How to Sell a Blog for High Five Figures    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other\">7. Other ways (sponsorships, donations, memberships)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sponsored reviews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to selling ad space, you can also offer sponsored reviews. This is where someone pays you to write about their product or service on your blog. If you choose only the products your audience will most likely be interested in, you can earn money while creating great content\u2014a win-win situation. However, if you pick any product just because someone is paying you, you could lose your hard-earned audience as they will not be interested in the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To write a great sponsored review, insist that you want to use the product or service for a trial period to get some insight into it. That way, you can write an honest, compelling review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Memberships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another popular category that can bring in a significant stream of income is membership offers. Many bloggers are experimenting with this concept since it is a great potential channel for recurring revenue. With a membership, readers pay a regular amount (usually on a monthly basis) for access to either premium content, a community area, some service, tools, or coaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For example, Pencil Kings:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=_-519.html alt=\"Pencil Kings\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Donations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not very common to see the donation button on blogs, but some people use this option to support their blogging efforts. In some cases, it produces just enough money to cover the expenses, and sometimes bloggers even make enough money to make a living from it. Here is an example of a donating widget on the blog for BrainPickings.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=_-520.html alt=\"BrainPickings\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"prepare-blog-for-monetization\">How to prepare your blog for monetization&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can start monetizing your blog right off the bat, it\u2019s always better to lay a healthy foundation first for your eventual monetization efforts to succeed. We won\u2019t waste your time emphasizing how important it is to publish regularly and publish high-quality content, because those are basic expectations for a growing blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should start the monetization process by building an email list. Email marketing is a great way to keep your audience in the loop with what\u2019s going on with your blog. It can help you to build long-term relationships with your readers and ensure that they come back regularly to consume your content. This translates into stable traffic, which is an important factor when monetizing a blog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Improving the relationship with your readership will strengthen your blogging influence. After all, you expect them to listen to your advice and buy products you endorse or value your opinion on services. To better understand your reader\u2019s wants and needs, engage them directly. You can do so in the comment section of your blog and on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at the revenue reports of over 50 blogs to see how they generate money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"data-collected-from-income-reports\">How Bloggers Make Money: Data collected from income reports of 50 blogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=_-521.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=_-521.html alt=\"Income Reports of 50 Blogs\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Many bloggers invest a lot of money into their blog every month to earn revenue, but some conveniently leave that fact out in their income reports, making it look like they are gaining tons of passive money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you craft your blog monetization plan, you\u2019ll need to keep some expenses in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These include your <a href=_-98.html>web hosting<\/a> fees, email mar<a href=_-109.html>keting software<\/a>, search and <a href=_-108.html>social media tools<\/a>, mastermind memberships, and online advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Total Expenses vs. Total Income<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=_-522.html alt=\"Total Expenses vs Total Income\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope that you\u2019ve enjoyed this guide to creating a successful blog\u2014from setup to monetization.
