The truth is that blogging is a wonderful way to make money, and as long as you do it right, you can easily make your blog grow and make you the money that you need. Below, I outline 10 ways to make money blogging; all of which can help you to make a good income and have it grow.

The top 10 ways to make money blogging

• Sell your blogs

Selling your blogs are a great way to make some extra money. Most websites today are sold anywhere from $1,000 all the way up to millions of dollars all because the site has earned some money or followers. Try putting up one of your blogs up for sale at Flippa.com. You will probably get several bids on your website as long as your blog already makes some money and has a good following.  Blogs loaded with good content on a specific subject are in high demand on sites like Flippa and other sites that specialize in selling websites.

• Sell affiliate products through an email list

An email list is nice because you can get your current followers and update them or sell to them through an email. Whoever signs up to your email list, you’re able to update or sell to on a daily or weekly basis. In the email, you can offer them whatever you may want: affiliate products, ebooks, services. The best part about email lists is that you can have a personal relationship with those who you email, so you can gain trust which can be used for more sales some time in the future.

• Charge for email advertising

Once you’ve grown a good list, you can actually let others pay you to place their ad or ads in each of your email lists. They know that this is very targeted, so they’ll be more than willing to pay you anywhere from $50 to $200 for several email ads. Try putting an “Advertise with us” page on your blog and write down your services. You can list almost any price, as other marketers would love extra promotion. Just remember to never go too far with your prices.

• Adsense

Adsense is basically an advertising program where Google allows you to post certain ads on your site, and for every click that is made on those clicks, you are guaranteed a small amount of money. Of course, you’ll need to get lots of clicks to have a sustainable business from Adsense, but it’s very easy to make money long term. Remember that it takes some time to earn a lot of money from Adsense, but it’s still good try this out and see if it’s for you. I suggest placing the ads in the middle of your text, as you could make the most amount clicks when they’re in the middle of the content.

• Sell ad space

If you’d like a good monthly income, you can make other people pay you a small amount every month for them to have their own ads placed on your site. These will usually be ads to their product and there are tons of people who enjoy doing this. I suggest charging people around $29 for their first month, and then make them pay more sometime in the future or possibly on their next month. In the end, you could get 10 people posting ads on your site, and that would mean a consistent amount of recurring money every month.

• Affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is where you become an affiliate and you earn a percentage for every sale made. So, you can try reviewing several products on your blog and earn some money for every sale that you make. I suggest joining both the Clickbank and the Amazon affiliate programs, as the both of those are the most notable. Once you’re all signed up, you can easily promote several products on your site.

• Write in exchange for a pay

There are actually many companies that will ask you to post an ordinary blog post about their business, with them paying you a small amount. Of course, you’ll need lots of visitors for other people to think that your blog is worth paying, so try to offer this service once you’ve earned several consistent visitors to your site.

• Donate button

What’s nice about using the donate button from paypal on your blog is that there are good chances of your followers being generous. Try using this button at least once, and see what happens to your blogs. Some people just might send some money your way. As long as you provide good help and information, your visitors are definitely going to be willing to help you out.

• Be a self proclaimed blogger

Aside from simply making money from anything, try to become a self proclaimed blogger who simply wants to grow your fan base. Once you’ve done this, people will want to know more about you. Some bloggers like to review certain places, and now that they’re big online, many local hotels and events invite them to review the event. So, growing your name is already good enough, and then you expand and do all the other things to make money like Adsense.

• Sell your own ebooks

I don’t suggest doing this right away, but it’s a nice way to make money as you grow. Once you’ve gotten several hundred or thousand followers in your blog, you can start creating ebooks related to what you write about the most. So, if your blog is about art or entertainment, maybe try creating a 100 page ebook about getting started as an entertainer or musician.

The above ideas are just some of the best 10 ways to make money blogging. Some ideas may work right away while others may take some time; it’s all about learning the basics of how it all works. I truly suggest trying out each method, as they can all help you to make the most amount of money from your blog. So, you should really consider trying out everything above. Blogging is a fun way to explore your gifts and talents as a writer, but you could easily grow your income if you want to by trying out the different ways above.
