HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE FROM YOUR BLOG
Blogging needs time and patience. However if you are persistent and can write good quality original content which is easy to read and understand , and presented properly, you can start to make MONEY from your BLOG.
The first step is to decide your niche, something that interests you, and start researching on the topics and writing on your blog.
Make sure that you can regularly keep posting new articles and updating your blog though it is good to remember that blogging is a way to earn supplement income apart form your daily job and that too if you are passionate about writing.
Initially, you have to look at blogging as a hobby, a nice productive interest that you can have, along with utilizing your spare time by doing something that interests you and helping other people who read your articles online.
After setting up a good blog on BLOGGER or WORD PRESS, and posting a few articles with good content, you can think about ways to monetize your blog.
Word press needs you to buy a domain name if you want to MONETIZE your website/blog. Blogger is free though. When your blog is of a decent size and up and running , here are a few ways to monetize/ make money from your blog.
a) GOOGLE AD SENSE
Ad sense requires that you have your blog running for at least 6 months before you can apply for it. Also, you need a good amount of quality content too. If your ad sense application is accepted, you can start earning some money, though not much initially, through advertisements that are posted to your blog.
Ad sense also requires you to have a PRIVACY POLICY on your blog. You can add one by adding a new page from your blog's dashboard, and copy pasting from a privacy policy generator like SerpRank.com.
If ad sense doesn't work for you, then there are other alternatives to make money through advertising on your blog. You can sign up at these ad sense alternatives which are chitika.com, infolinks.com and revenue hits.com.
b) AFFILIATE MARKETING
Sites like Amazon, Alibaba, e-bay, link share etc. provide you with links to market their products if you sign up for their affiliate marketing programs. You can make a decent amount of money by recommending the products you like , if you have a good number of visitors for your blog who like your articles and keep returning for new posts.
c) PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
If you have a good email list and client base from the visitors on your blog, you can start to sell your own products like E-BOOKS, hand crafts, paintings etc, and services through your blog, which can be a good way of earning/ MONETIZING your BLOG.
Happy Blogging!
