45 Ways To Make Money From Your Blog

Probably the first thing any blogger thinks when they starting a blog is how long it will take them to earn their first money.

The good news is that; if you are focused and determined, you can start monetizing your blog in a year or less.

In this post, we'll discuss how long it takes to make money by blogging, and also share some tips for speeding up and increasing revenues.

How much time should you devote?

The more you focus on your blog, the more time and energy you spend on your blog, the faster you will start making money. The question is: "Do you have enough time and motivation to create a profitable blog?"

Unless you have a full-time job, you should spend from 5.5 hours a day to close to 40 hours a week creating quality content. For those who say passive income is enough, this period is 1.5-2 hours per day.

If you are a mother blogger who takes care of her children, you probably don't have much time, but even if you have 1-2 hours to spare every day, we can say that you can set up a solid blog.

Many people think that blogging is easy, and to them, all bloggers do is write on a laptop all day and watch the money come in.

Blogging is hard work and it's not just about writing. You should be able to focus on SEO, email, and affiliate marketing, creating groups on social media, responding to comments and emails, sending newsletters, and much more.

How do you monetize your blog?

In the beginning, the best way to make money for beginner bloggers is to sell ad space. You can start earning income through Google Adsense with ad spaces.

However, you should not depend on only one source of income for your blog, you should look for different options to maximize your profits.

For high-traffic websites, ADS is the first medium that comes to mind, but it should not be limited; you can write and share promotional articles, rent banner areas, make product promotions or make link exits.

At this point, instead of creating a general blog where you can write about every subject, I recommend that you move forward in an area where you can set a target. In this way, you can create a target audience and touch the advertisers trying to reach this target audience.

How much money can a blogger make per month?

Foreign blogger Lloyd; In the first month of 2016, it earns $ 0.04, which is 35 cents, yes, you heard it right, only 35 cents. His monthly income in April 2017 is $170.68, hang tight. I think 1,483 TL is a good amount of money compared to the first year.

I've come across many scenarios like this one, where income gradually rises to $150. All of them are my friends whose words I trust. In my opinion, earning $150 with extra income is a good start in European conditions.

Foreign bloggers who dominate the dynamics of the geography they address; You may have heard that UDEMY also sells similar training, courses, and e-books. Affiliate Income (We can say affiliate marketing) is one of my favorite income items.

Let's say your commission is $6 for each sale. If 100 people click on your affiliate link to purchase the product, you will earn $600. These amounts vary from country to country.

Never recommend an irrelevant or poor-quality product for high commission. This damages your brand reputation and kills your readers' trust.

A commission system where visitors who purchase or subscribe through your link earn money. While scanning resources; I ran into a blogger friend who earned $44,626 through 56 different affiliate programs. After a point, we can say that this business has completely evolved into teamwork.

Most bloggers start making money within 6 to 12 months of starting a blog. However, it largely depends on the time and effort they spend and how they think about how they can monetize their blog.

Write for your audience

As a blogger, writing for your target audience and being able to create an audience should be your top priority.

When you have a loyal audience or followers, they will be more likely to click on your affiliate links or buy your products.

For example, if your blog is about online games, analyze forums or groups where your target audience hangs out. By joining these groups, you can get fresh ideas about what your target audience is talking about, what topics interest them, and how you can help them.

The most common mistake new bloggers make is to write something about almost any topic, or rather, to write one and not write something.

You should not be surprised if a visitor who reaches your site through the search results and reads your article about a game review does not approach the "artichoke dishes" article right below the content with the same interest. You may remember that I summarized the concept of "bounce rate" that came into play here.

Surely there are a topic or topics that you enjoy writing about. Now that you've decided on a niche, it will be much easier to attract loyal audiences and promote relevant products. Writing about boring financial matters, thinking that it only brings good income, will get you down after a while.

The best way to focus is to get rid of distractions. We're big fans of the Pomodoro technique. This technique requires you to work in short 25-minute intervals followed by short 5-minute breaks.

A content calendar is your best friend that can help you stay focused and on track. It will help you treat your blog like a business from day one. In this way, you can plan which content will be broadcast on which day.

The biggest disadvantage of any blog site is that they are not regular in posts. You can use Google DOCS to create a content calendar or go with an old-fashioned desktop calendar.

Find different ways to monetize your blog!

If you set up multiple sources of income, you can easily make money in less time than you think. Here are some other ways to monetize your blog:

Write Sponsored Posts: In sponsored posts, the product is sent by the company. After you try the product, you write an article about the product on your blog and you get paid. However, you should write sponsored posts that are relevant to your niche. If you have a travel blog, it makes sense to review the best travel bags instead of writing about the best vacuum cleaners.

Use Google Adsense or Sell Banner Spaces: Google Adsense is the World's most common advertising platform from Google that allows you to display ads on your blog. You get paid every time visitors click on the ad banner.

Build a Membership Site: If you believe you've built a good fan base, you can lock your content and only allow paying users to read your blog. You can easily set this up with a plugin called MemberPress.

How long does it take to build a profitable blog?

For most bloggers who produce English content, it will take 6 months to a year for them to start monetizing their blogs, even if they are starting completely from scratch. This time depends on how concentrated you are and how much time and effort you put into a week.

Result:

Don't let your failures guide you. If you have a passion for writing and are willing to invest time and effort, you can make money from your blog. Sure it may take some time, but you can achieve great things with your blog if you stay focused.
