This is another powerful free method which is proven effective for beginners and professionals. This method is all about creating your own blog.
A blog is a website (or a part of the website) that is maintained by an individual on posting regular content like an article, video or other material.
Blogs are considered interactive which allows visitors to leave comments or feedback about your posts.
There are countless ways for bloggers to start generating significant income from their content. How can you monetize your blog? How can you make money from your readers? And how can you turn your posts into cash? The most fundamental thing you need to understand is that a blog is basically a website, but with a very specific layout format / interface. What it means is that if you know how to make money from an "ordinary website", you automatically know how to do the very same thing with your blog (in general terms). Yes, there are some differences here and there, but the basic methods and strategies of site monetization apply to both equally.
How to Monetize Your Blog
There are numerous ways to make money from your blog's advertising space. Let's review the most popular and effective ones:
Displaying “Pay-per-Click” Ads
This is a very common way for bloggers to earn from their work. It's extremely easy to deploy content-related ads (like Google Adsense) on your blog and getting paid whenever someone clicks on an ad.
Independent Advertising Sales
If your blog attracts a lot of user traffic and / or it covers an “in demand” topic or niche (in commercial terms), you can sell banners, buttons, links and sponsorships to advertisers. All you have to do is start an “Advertising” page on your blog, where you explain what types of ads you're offering and their rates.
Asking for Donations
It may sound strange, but many bloggers make good money by receiving donations from their audience. A lot of permanent readers, who enjoy your posts, would like to show their appreciation and contribute. What can be more simple than placing a Paypal “Donate” button on your blog? It's worth the one-time small effort.
Selling Text Links
If your blog is about a very specific subject, it will probably be pretty easy for you to sell links to advertisers who wish to be linked from blogs with related content.
Affiliate Programs
Blogs with specific themes (and even general ones) can refer readers to other sites and receive commissions for various “actions” on the linked site. These actions can include signing up for a free trial, joining a certain web-based service, filling out a form with contact details or buying something online.
Paid Reviews
You can get paid for reviewing various websites and online services – especially if their content is related to your blog's topic.
