  • Ads

When it comes to earning from your blog, advertising with an ad network like Google Adsense or Ezioc is a great way to profit. In fact, 75% of bloggers that have crossed the $2000 monthly income threshold use either Mediavine or Adthrive as their ad management company.  

However, since ads payments are based on PPC (pay-per-click), having a massive audience reach and a significant amount of daily traffic can rapidly increase your earning prospects. Alternatively, consider selling ad spaces on your blogs to businesses that offer products and services in your niche. 

  • Affiliate Marketing 

If you’re not selling a product or service, consider selling other people’s products with affiliate marketing. This involves finding ecommerce businesses with affiliate programs, signing up as an affiliate partner and linking relevant products on your site. For every purchase made using your affiliate link, you earn a commission.  

With affiliate programs, you would be helping your readers by recommending products they need while earning from them. 

  • Sell your Product or Services

While your blog should educate your readers, you shouldn’t stop at that as a business owner. Don’t hesitate to sparingly include details about your product and service or recommend them in your blog post. This would transform your blog into a lead-generation machine for your business. 

45% of bloggers earning $50000+ yearly sell their own products or services. Therefore, aside from getting your business in the mind of your target audience, converting your site traffic to paying customers would greatly benefit your business.

  • Sponsored Posts 

Another way to monetise your blog through brand advertisement is through writing sponsored posts. When you’ve been able to gather a broad audience and establish your blog as an authority in your chosen niche, it is normal to have brands reach out to you to write sponsored product reviews or roundups. Also, you can actively seek out partnership opportunities by emailing brands you want to work with.

  • Sell Digital Products

One reliable way to make passive income from your blog is by selling digital products. If you have a skill to teach or would like to help your audience build expertise, create an online course or an ebook they would be willing to pay for. The best part about this monetisation model is that it is long-term. 

Other digital products you can sell include, templates, WordPress themes and video tutorials, among others.

Parting Words

While there are overwhelming opportunities for generating income from your blog, you should remember that the money won’t start coming right; it takes time. But provided you can implement the right monitisation strategies for your blog and keep at it, you will definately see the results.

 

4 Ways to Handle Trolls as a Blogger

December 10, 2022 By in Blogging Tips Tags: , , , , , , 6 Comments

As a blogger, I have had my fair share of dealing with trolls over the last ten years. Trolls are simply very unhappy people who think they should share their nasty thoughts and feelings with others online. The best way to handle them is the same way you handle unpleasant people in real life; you ignore them…

If you are wondering how to go about dealing with trolls, here are some quick tips you may find pretty handy –

No attention

Attention is a currency which is why we say “pay attention”. I pay no attention to trolls and I just keep doing what I truly enjoy doing. Comments from people who are unsatisfied with their personal lives don’t affect me because I understand the psychology behind trolling. The less you pay attention, the faster the trolls disappear into thin air to find the next space to spew more bitterness. When next you come in contact with a troll, look the other way.

Don’t take it personally

Now, this may be a tricky one at first as I know how easy it is to take things personally when we feel slighted. Having said that, one thing you should always try to remember is that it is never personal. When people are mean, they like to look for an outlet to project all that they have inside of them. Once you understand that, you learn grace, and you let people be people and you don’t take it personally. However, that does not mean you should remain passive. Not taking trolling personally would do wonders for your mental health. Being assertive and paying them no attention (which links back to the first tip) would also help massively.

You cannot please everyone

One thing you need to remember is that you cannot please everybody and you should not even attempt to. It is actually crazy to think you have the capacity to please everybody. There are billions of people on this beautiful planet and you only need a few thousand regular readers to earn a living from your blog. In time, you will find your tribe and your unsatisfied readers would also go on to find the right platform for their reading pleasure. So it is really a win-win situation for all parties involved. Focus on your happy readers.

Use the block button regularly

The block button is my friend on social media and I don’t hesitate to use it. My advice is to block anyone who trolls. There should be no second chances when it comes to dealing with trolls online and in real life. If you don’t like a blog or a blogger, you should really not be on it. Use the block button regularly for your peace of mind, and then you will have one less troll to deal with.

It is a lot easier to get eyeballs on your blog than it is to get blog engagement. Many blog readers land on a particular page on your blog and bounce after reading the posts on that page. To increase your blog engagement you will have to encourage those blog readers to stay a little longer on your blog and explore other content.

If you are struggling with engaging with your blog readers and you are wondering how to improve this, you have landed on the right post. Here are 5 ways to improve blog engagement –

Create interesting content

To be a successful content creator, you need to create content that would interest your readers and keep them on your blog for longer. One way of doing this is by creating different types of content in your niche and paying attention to the most popular posts. Once you realise the sort of content your blog readers seem to like, you can create more of them. Creating interesting content in your niche is easy once you keep your eyes on your stats and continue to publish blog posts that engage your readers.

Add internal links

This is a tip I have been doing for years and it really does the job of improving blog engagement. If you write or refer to something you have done in the past, make sure to add an internal link so your blog readers can find the post. Adding internal links improves blog visibility and does wonders for SEO, so ensure you keep adding those relevant internal links.

Ask your readers to engage with your content

If you need something, just ask. It is a great idea to ask your blog readers to engage with your content by liking, commenting, and sharing. Adding this request in the last sentence of your blog sentence would help remind your readers to engage with the content.

Add clickable social media options

Having your blog posts shared on social media platforms is a big deal. Millions of people use social media every day, so if you want to attract more eyeballs to your content, having them shared on social media should be a goal. Having clickable social media options would improve blog engagement as blog readers will find it very easy to share your blog posts.

Engage with your readers

If you want to improve your blog engagement, you should encourage your blog readers to engage by replying to their comments and engaging with them on social media. Many bloggers want to see their readers engaging with their content but they want to engage with their readers. If you want to see your blog engagement numbers increase, you should take the time to engage with your readers.
