One of the major reasons why people venture into online businesses and opportunities is to make money out of whatever thing they decide to do, so do bloggers. I have written an article about myself based on how my calling found me http://www.travelwithcurrent.com/2018/11/how-i-started-my-writing-career.html
and what motivated me which making money was one of my driving force. I have taken my time to read and explore some ways to monetize a site which you should know that this involves hard work and time because is not a get quick rich ordeal. A lot of consistency is needed especially when starting out from the scratch just like me which will later pay off in the long run.
As a blogger, I want to discuss some ways on how to monetize your site and make a profitable income.
(1) Affiliate Marketing.
This is one of the most common way of monetizing your site by partnering or joining affiliates like Amazon associates, Cj affiliates, commission junction, popShops.com, linksShare, share a sale, peel away Ads, Market leverage, etc to earn commissions from each sale of product or services if the buyer is coming from your site using the unique link the traces the product to your site.
Affiliate marketing involves a lot of marketing products and services like sale of softwares, digital products ( online courses and workshop), ebooks, Tech, clothing and accessories etc.
AdSense
Is another way to make money tho it takes time especially when you're still building your traffic. It works with the number of traffic you drive from your site which is why you need millions of visitors in order to earn more and fast with Google AdSense.
To sign up for AdSense as a blogger you need to be active for at least six months with not less than one thousand visitors.
(2) Reviews
Writing sponsored posts and reviews about peoples websites or products and services to get paid on your blog is a way of earning extra income. This works more when you must've built your brand to an extent (big and famous) for people to request for a review on your blog.
The payment can be a one time fee or monthly depending based on the link that tracks the traffic to your site.
(3) AD Placement
Selling space for private Ad placement on site is an extra income as a blogger. When you drive enough traffic to your site, people interested in paying for this kind of services come directly to you for request of Ad placement on your site which you can place your own suitable rates based on the content of the advert.
(4) Events
As a blogger, building your brand should be your top priority because it can lead to open doors of income opportunities when you become recognised and popular in your niche. Examples:
You could be given an appointment to speak in conferences and gathering with charges of your own rates.
Organising big events and conferences that can help you get sponsors to support you while placing a fee or tickets for your audience to attend.
You can also charge for partnership, guest posting and co author of a book etc.
(5) Marketing Tool
This is also an avenue to develop and market your own personal business on your site making it easier to convert loyal audience to potential customers. You could sell physical products and offer services like coaching, recommendations and consulting etc.
(6) sale of memberships
Another profitable option is to sell exclusive membership for users to gain access to a particular forum or site to get personalised content that is more valuable than something your visitors can subscribe for free.
(7) Donations
You can easily create your own donation box on your site where you ask your visitors to kindly donate money for your welfare or something else.
(8) Branding
The best and most simplest way to do this for bloggers is to create and sell an online courses for your readers. When someone has been reading your article and gets value from your content it builds the trust they have for you already so creating something worth paying for, to sell directly to your audience as your brand for a sustainable income.
Below is a link to site that has softwares for creation of online courses, membership and other contents.
