7 Leg it Ways To Make Money Online Blogging In 2018

We've all heard those stories of so

meone that started a little blog one day and ten years later they've
given up their day job because their blog is drawing in so much money for them they don't even need
to get out of bed in the morning. The funny thing is, with a lot of hard work and time spent on getting
your blog up and running, you can actually make a pretty penny out it. So, if you're interested in
learning how to make money blogging then read on, I'll warn you now though, you're going to have to
be seriously dedicated to get this running!

Sell digital products
The other great thing to remember is that knowing your audience will make all the diɌerence when
you're selling goods online. Running a blog about cars and motorsport and trying to sell homemade
paper Ɍowers just won't mix. If paper bouquets are your passion and you know they're good enough
to sell, then the best thing for it is to set up a secondary blog that focuses on something more in
keeping with what you're selling. Remember though, don't push the sales from the get go. If people
feel like they're being sold to, they won't be interested. If your goods are just supporting what you're
saying in your blog then you'll Ɍnd a lot more enquiries Ɍy your way!
Some of the physical goods that you can sell:

• Clothing
• Jewelry
• Handmade goods
• Household Items
• Electronics

A really common way to make money from a blog is to sell advertising. The more traɌc you have
Ɍowing through your page, the more likely you are to draw advertising agencies in and this can be a
really quick way to make a little bit of extra money. If you're Ɍnding other ways of making money
through your blog then you might want to think about using advertising space to your own beneɌt by
advertising your own products! Taking people from your blog to your selling page will only generate a
little bit of extra business for your sales. Sure, advertising someone else's websites might bring in the
cash at the point of sale but would you make extra money from sales of your own goods? Just
something to consider!

Sell Advertising space

If you're really feeling conɌdent in the topic of your blog then you might want to consider doing some
form of educational documentation. Whether you do a few online courses or write an ebook, if your
followers really respect your expertise in the Ɍeld you're talking about then they will Ɍock to what
you have to oɌer. Obviously, the best products to sell will vary massively depending on the type of
blog you run. Factual blogs will work well with eBooks, lifestyle blogs might oɌer some one to one
coaching sessions and online courses might be best for those that are thinking about a change of
scenery in the workplace. If in doubt, ask your readers what they'd like and whether they'd be
interested! There's no better feedback than the people you're already writing for.
If you're reading all of these tips and thinking 'that doesn't apply to me' then worry not, you're not
alone! We've all got our own areas of expertise and very often, the job you do for your career can
make you some extra money at home. Whether you're coming from a Ɍnancial background, web
design or bookkeeping, they're all skills that are highly sought after for a lot of people. The great thing
about advertising these skills on your blog is you're more likely to pick up a job that directly
corresponds with your interests. Sick of making up advertisements for big businesses and fancy
helping out a local dealer? Well your blog could be the perfect place to get business like that running.
Before you know it, you could be a freelancer running your own business!

• Sell online courses and eBooks
• Freelancing
• Here are some ideas:
• Freelance writing
• Data Entry
• Virtual assistant work
• Web Development
• Marketing

If all else fails then there's always the opportunity to sell other people's good through your blog. This
doesn't necessarily include actively selling their goods in that you don't have to deal with the postage
and packaging though! AɌliate marketing is an amazing way to make money from blogging if you're
smart about how you go about it. Picking your aɌliates sensibly and going for products that will
actually hold the interest of your readers, a simple plug about the product at the end of the post
might be all it takes. You might choose to go a little more in depth and focus an entire post on one
product although this does depend on the sort of blog you run! Make-up and fashion blogs do
exceedingly well at this sort of sales (and they often get free gifts out of it as an added bonus!)
Finally, oɌering a membership to your blog will allow people to check out extra content on your blog.

This is a great way of making money when you're a well established blog as you're basically oɌering a
bonus to people that pay for it while still keeping up with the basic info for people that have followed
you from the start.
If you're thinking about starting a membership site but don't know what to do, here are some ideas:
OɌer exclusive downloads each month via email (i.e. apps, graphics, recipes etc.)
Exclusive educational videos, blog posts, webinars, or courses

• Downloadable guides or books
• OɌer Expert advice

Making money through your blog is a great little bonus at the end of the month, however if you're
really serious about it then you need to work hard and be dedicated to the cause. A sporadic blog that
has no focus is much less likely to bring you any extra pennies in compared to someone who does
weekly blogs and has speciɌc themes on diɌerent nights. If you intend to make money out of your
blog then your best bet is to sit down, give a good hard think as to the type of blog you're running and
what goods you can oɌer in tandem with this. After you settle in, keep in mind that making seriously
big bucks out of your blog means you have to be in it for the long run.
