You can make money with your blog. It`s called "monetizing".But how to do this? There are many different options and it can be difficult to judge which type your readers will respond to most. Take a look at these different options, and make your choice with your readers and consider the market overall.
Option 1: Adsense
Adsense is probably the easiest way to monetize -- and probably the most difficult! It's easy because it's just a simple code that Google gives you (they even automatically match up the ads for you!).You make money when someone clicks on your ads, whether they go on to make a purchase or not.However Adsense can also be incredibly difficult as you get paid just a few cents per click and it can take an awful lot of traffic for it to add up to something that is even remotely worth your while.It might be worth giving Adsense a try especially as you're getting your feet wet with blogging. If you're in the right market and find the right ad positions and colors, it can certainly turn into a nice hands-off income for you.
Option 2: Affiliate Products
Selling products as an affiliate is a great way to make money.You get to earn money from the products without having to fulfill them yourself or deal with customer service issues. Nothing is better than that and the returns are usually higher than with Adsense, provided you're able to find offers that converts well with the people who visit your blog.You`ll have to decide if you want to promote digital or physical products and this decision will likely come down to what kind of niche you're in and how your site visitors will respond.
Option 3: Creating Your Own Products
After you get a loyal following of readers it's easier than ever to create and sell your own information product. However you will have to fulfill the orders and deal with customer service issues, but the great thing is that you get to keep all the money! As you are the one who knows your readers best,you're likely to come up with an offer that converts extremely well since it's exactly what they want.You can write an ebook, create a membership site, deliver a paid e-course, create a video series, or record audio.If you want to make the package even better you can combine a few different approaches to add massive value. The options are endless when it comes to monetizing with your own products and even some of your blog readers might want to become an affiliate of yours as well!
At the start you might feel overwhelmed but that's perfectly normal! It's hard to know what the best path is when you're just starting out with a new niche but a good way to get a feel for the best way to do things is to see what other blogs and sites in your niche are doing. Use the success of others as a guide. You're not trying to copy them, you're simply taking note of what works and using it yourself
