Minimal But Profitable Blog Monetization For Online Marketers

By Bob Steele


As an online entrepreneur, you probably have a minimum of one blog. A blog is an excellent way to position yourself as an expert within your sector while also allowing your personality to shine through. You can promote your products on your blog. It can help you build relationships with others. You can further build your brand and increase awareness with it. You already know all of this. What you might not be aware of is that you can use your blog to set up another income source. It's a brilliant strategy to supplement the income you are deriving from other sources. Following, you will find some techniques you can use to generate some extra money from your blog.

There are plenty of options when it comes to blog monetization so that you can make some additional money.

You won't be making as many sales by just posting a widget on your sidebar, instead you need to write product reviews. You will be making more sales but you'll also find it easier to win over the people reading your blog.

Most of these are PPC ads that are easily installed. The best thing is that all you need to do is set up a code and wait to get paid by the network when it comes to RSS monetization.

The paid membership is a great place to air your more controversial opinions, highlight the products you most want to promote, etc. A paid newsletter is similar.

Let people send you content they have written and you can then post it on your blog. It does have some similarities to guest posting but the content usually has links they use to make additional cash and it tends to be promotional rather than informative. If you do opt for this strategy, make sure you are careful. You can charge some pretty high prices because you aren't in control of the content. At the same time the lack of control over the content means that you are running the risk of accidentally alienating your blog's readers. You should give yourself a way out by including it in your policy or contract the fact that you can veto the posting of any content. You might have to charge a little bit less for this type of monetization but isn't the control over the final content worth it? Blogs offer a wide range of choices when it comes to making money. There many opportunities available to you instead of just throwing up some Google Ads. What's great about monetizing your blog is that it helps you earn money while you promote your other projects at the same time. It's a great approach from any direction.
