You’ve started a blog but don’t know how to make money from it?

Well, you’re not alone.

Many bloggers don’t know how they can utilize their blogs to make money.

That is the reason why more than 80% of the bloggers never make $100 from their blog.

It is not because they don’t have a quality blog, the main reason behind this is they don’t have knowledge about how they can make money from their blog.

If you’re also one of them then read this article carefully.

Because, if you follow these methods and implement it on your blog then I can assure you that your blog will start making money.

No matter what is your blog niche as these methods will work for any blog niches.

So, without wasting any further time let’s jump to the article and see what are those methods.

Here are the 11 ways to make money from your blog

Let’s see some of the 9 best ways to monetize your blog which you can use to make money from your blog.

Method #1: Display banner ads on your blog

Banner ads are the most famous and common way to make money from your blog. Even many bloggers make money just by displaying banner ads.

Here’s an example of banner ads by Google Adsense:

There are a number of awesome ad networks available that provide good CPC (Cost per click) on banner ads. Google Adsense is the popular and best ad network among them.

Still, there are a couple of ad networks like media.net and mediavine which also provides a decent amount of CPC (Cost per click) rate.

But, remember CPC depends upon the keyword and the type of content you create.

For Example:

A blog post about insurance will give you much more CPC than a blog post about quotes.

If you want high CPC then you have to find high CPC keywords and write strategically for that keyword.

But remember, google Adsense manually approves websites for showing ads. So you have to follow some rules and tricks to get approved by Adsense.

Once you got approved by the Adsense then you can display ads on your blog.

But keep in mind, you need to have traffic on your blog to make a decent amount of money from it.

Yes, I would agree that earning money from the banner ads is an easy process.

But you have to work hard to attract traffic on your blog.

The more traffic you’ll get = The more money you’ll make.

Method #2: Promote Affiliate Products to Convert Your Blog Into a Money-Making Machine

Believe it or not but affiliate marketing can make you a millionaire.

Don’t believe me?

Then let me show you an example:

Pat Flynn makes over $1,00,000 every month from his blog.

You must be thinking:

Tushar is showing me an example of a huge blog, but mine one is not that huge as Pat.

If you’re thinking this then let me tell you.

Even small blogs are making thousands of dollars promoting affiliate products.

Yes, you may not make $1,00,000 a month in the beginning but you can easily make $1000+ with your blog.

To get started with affiliate marketing first you have to sign up for affiliate programs like ShareASale, Commission Junction, ClickBank, Amazon associates program.

I’ve also created a list of high paying affiliate programs that you can check out to find more awesome affiliate programs.

Next, you have to apply for the affiliate programs which you like.

Once you got approved, then you can put affiliate links on your blog and when someone buys from that link you’ll get a commission.

But affiliate marketing is not as simple as the banner ads.

You need to have a proper plan and strategy to succeed in it.

Here’s how you can promote affiliate products to make money from your blog.

Method #3: Publish a Sponsored Blog post

I love sponsored blog posts.

Do you know why?

You can easily make $100 – $1000 publishing a sponsored blog post on your blog.

That’s a quick money making method.

But how do you find sponsored post opportunities?

Well, if you have a big and established blog then you don’t need to worry about it because brands will approach you to write about their product.

However, you can still make money if you have a small blog.

But you have to reach out to brands to get a sponsored blog post.

Let me tell you the exact process I’ve done to a land sponsored post on the blog at my initial days:

First of all, I analyzed my competitors to see if they are publishing any sponsored post.

Then I contact the same brand and pitched them about my offer.

Yes, I agree that some of them will won’t reply and some of them will directly reject your offer.

But, you can see some of them will accept your offer and will be interested to publish a sponsored post on your blog.

You can apply this same method to find sponsorship opportunities for your blog.

You can also create a separate advertise page on your blog so that advertisers can easily find you.

Keep in mind, don’t charge less then $100 for a sponsored post even if your blog is new.

Method #4: Sell E-Courses

Selling courses is a trending way to make money from a blog.

Melyssa Griffin makes millions of dollar selling courses on her blog.

You can check out her income reports to see how much she earned from courses.

Courses have a really big potential for making money.

For example:

If you sell 100 courses each month for $10 each you can easily make $1000 in a month.

Courses are kind of assets.

You have to spend time and give your 100% while you’re creating your course.

Yes, it may take some time to create a course.

But after creating it you can make money on autopilot.

Now the question is:

How do you create a course which sells like a hot cake?

First of all, you have to choose a hot and evergreen topic.

But how do you find one?

There are two methods which you can use to find topics for your course.

First head over to quora…

Then choose a topic (I recommend choosing a topic where you have enough knowledge).

After that look for questions with lots of followers.

And here’s how you got a topic for your course.

For the second method head over to udemy…

Choose a category.

And look for the most popular courses in that category.

Now you can take inspiration from those courses for creating your course.

After finding your topic you have to research on that topic and then create an outline for your course.

Thereafter you have to start creating your course.

If you want to make your course successful then don’t hurry, take your time and give your best to make the course.

After you successfully create your course, then it’s time for the promotion.

Besides promoting it on your blog you can also use Facebook ads to promote it.

Pro Tip: You can also create an affiliate commission program for your course in order to get more sales.

Here’s how you can make money creating a course.

Method #5: Sell Custom Banner Ad Place

I’ve told you that you can make money by displaying banner ads from ad networks.

But you know that you can also make money selling direct display ads on your blog.

There’s a benefit of selling direct banner ads on your website.

Third-party ad networks make money by taking some commission from your earnings.

But if you sell direct ads on your blog then you can keep the full earnings and don’t have to give commission to anyone.

As a result, you can make much more profit selling direct ads rather than using an ad network.

Finding advertisers for direct ads is tough if you have a new blog because these types of advertisers usually search for a blog with at least 50000+ traffic.

You can head over to these websites find direct advertisers for your blog:

• BuySellAds
• AdClerks
• Blogads

For better results, You can also create a media kit of your blog where you’ll share your blog stats like traffic, page views, pricing, etc.

But if you have an established blog then advertisers will contact you to place their ads.

That’s how you can make money selling direct ads on your blog.

Method #6: Sell Service On Your Blog

If you’re getting traffic and engagement on your blog then you have a great chance of making money selling services on your blog.

Almost every big bloggers make money selling services on their blog.

You can still make a good amount by selling services if you have a small blog.

But you have to sell services according to your niche.

For example:

If you have a blog about digital marketing then you can sell services like

• Consulting
• SEO
• Link Building
• Social media management
• Run Facebook ads for clients

Here are a few of the examples of services that you can sell on your blog according to your niche.

It doesn’t matter which other monetization methods you’re using on your blog, you can sell services side by side with other monetization sources to make an extra side income.

But how do you convince your audience to buy your services?

First of all, create a separate service page on your blog and put all the details about your service and how your service will help them to solve their problem.

Then link to your service page in the top navigation bar.

That’s how your audience will discover about your services.

And you can make anywhere between $100 – $10,000 per month selling services on your blog.

Method #7: Run a Paid Webinar

Did you attend a paid webinar before?

Back in the day, I attend a paid webinar of a digital marketer for $30 and there were 200 more attendees like me who attend that webinar.

So, you can see he made $6000 from just one webinar.

That’s just insane!

It’s a quick money making method.

That’s just one example.

Some people even make more of that.

But to run a successful paid webinar you have to promote it.

Use these four techniques to promote your webinar:

• Use Facebook ads
• Answer on quora and attract targeted traffic to your webinar page
• Place banner ads about your webinar on your blog
• Send email to your email subscribers

These are the best methods to promote your blog.

Method #8: Paid Membership

Paid Membership is another great way to make money from your blog.

You can provide paid membership like:

• Private forums
• Private Facebook group
• Special content for members

And ask them for a membership fee.

Once you build up authority in your niche then you can see lots of people will opt-in for your paid membership program.

But if you want to make money by proving paid sponsorship you need to have strong authority.

This method will not work for you if you don’t have much authority in your niche.

So if you want to make money from paid membership then you have to focus on building authority.

Method #9: Sell Physical Products

Do you know you can sell physical products on your blog?

Yes, if you an audience base then you can sell physical product according to your niche.

For example:

If you have a blog about “Cooking”.

Then you can sell physical products related to cooking.

But if you don’t have any e-commerce knowledge then maybe it will be difficult for you to set up an e-commerce store on your blog.

Although you can use WooCommerce plugin to set up an e-commerce store on your blog easily.

And you can give a contract to any packing and courier company for shipping your product to your customer’s doorstep.

I know it’s a little difficult method but it will not just help you to increase your revenue, it will also help to grow your brand as an e-commerce store.

That’s how you can sell digital products and make money from your blog.
