Looking for the best ways to monetise your blog? You’re in luck!

This article will highlight five ways to transform your blog into a revenue-generation machine.

  • 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.

If you are wondering where to find sponsored posts and blogging collaborations you are reading the right post. I will be sharing 5 places to find paid blog collaborations so you can start making some money off your blog. We are all experiencing all sorts of things at the moment and with the whole working from home scenario, you now have the time to work even more on your blogs.

Where to find sponsored posts and blogging collaborations
Get Blogged

I have been working with Get Blogged for some months now and I really like how they operate. It is a great platform to find paid blogging gigs. There are sponsored posts opportunities for every type of blogs, even new blogs with a low domain authority. You need a domain authority of at least 10 to apply for jobs and the higher your domain authority is, the more opportunities for your blog and the more money you get. They also pay quickly and the briefs are always detailed and straightforward. I enjoy working with Get Blogged a lot. Register your blog and see for yourself.

Getfluence

I started working with Getfluence this year. It is another great platform to find well paid blogging collaborations. For this platform, you get contacted once an advertiser is interested in your blog. The payment is usually processed within 10 days once the blog post is live, and the blogging briefs are also very straightforward. It is always a pleasure working with Getfluence. You can register your blog and try the platform for yourself.

Bloggers Required

I have used Bloggers Required for years to find paid blogging jobs. I have worked with hundreds of brands through the platform. It is always a great spot to start looking for sponsored blog posts. There are loads of sponsored ads and you just register interest for the ads that work with your blog.

Twitter

Twitter is always a great platform to find paid blogging jobs. You can search for collaborations using #prrequest #journorequest #bloggerrequest and so on. You can also search for SEOs and PRs and give them a follow. If there is an email on their bio, sending a quick introductory email is another great way to get their eyeballs on your blog.

Facebook Groups

I find Facebook groups very useful for finding sponsored posts requests. Some great groups are “UK Influencer Opportunities” and “Blogger Opportunities”.

I hope you find this post useful and start making some money off your blog. If you are interested in growing your blog to the point where brands want to work with you, do contact me via email – fashionandstylepolice@gmail.com and take advantage of my blog coaching service.

Thanks for reading. Have a great day.

 

 

 

 

How to become a better blogger

October 8, 2019 By in Blogging Tips Tags: , , , , , , 10 Comments

There are blogs all over the web so many bloggers may worry about standing out from the huge pack. Competition is one thing I don’t worry about. Variety is the spice of life and I love that there are so many blogs in different niches to read. I read blog posts written by various bloggers everyday and I love how they each bring something to the table. If you are thinking of how to stand out and become a better blogger, here are some useful tips you may find handy –

 

Bring something to the table

There is no need for a new blog if you have nothing to say. Copying blog posts all over the web and pasting them on your blog won’t get you far. Stealing ideas off other blogs won’t do you any good long term. You need to bring in your own ideas to become a better blogger. Your blog posts have to entertain. inform or educate your readers, or there’s no point in publishing it. Becoming a better blogger means you bring your authenticity to your blog and write in the tone and style that is unique to you. That is one way to stand out from the saturated world of blogging.

Make attention to your headlines

This is one area I have struggled on and off in but I a lot better now with my headlines. Catchy headlines get you more clicks, so it is worth paying attention to them a bit more. It is best to keep the headlines below 7 words to get as many clicks as possible (SEO seems to like those best). Also, you should ensure the headline is related to the blog post and not a clickbait like many blogs do. That is just not right in my eyes.

 

Focus on niches you are interested in

When you write about topics you have interest in, your passion shows and that entices your readers even more. It also means you never run out of ideas. There is no point setting up a pet or beauty blog if you run out of ideas after a month of setting it up. Focus on niches you are interested in to become a better blogger.

 

Add Bullet Points

I always use bullet points in my blog posts. They make it easy for me to write and easier for my readers to scan through my posts. If there’s one tip you implement today, it should be this one. Adding bullet points make your posts a lot easier to read.

Share your posts on social media

Sharing your blog posts on social media can bring you lots of practice. My favourite social media platform for traffic referral is Pinterest. I have been getting loads of referrals from there and I am loving it so much. It is also a lot easier to stay active on compared to other social media platforms. I plan to spend more time generating traffic from Pinterest as that is clearly working great.

 

Post regularly

I post regularly on here and I have done so since day 1. Writing gives me pleasure and the fact that it is now a job makes it even more pleasurable.  I am grateful to be able to earn an income while working from home and it is not something I take for granted at all. Maybe that is why I work my behind off on here.

 

Do you blog? How do you plan on becoming a better blogger? And if you don’t blog, what sort of blogs do you enjoy reading and why?

 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great one.
