Making money from blogging is never limited to just having Adsense account and getting ads served to your blog. Blogging is beyond that.
I agree that having Adsense in your account is cool, but you can still make a lot of money from blogging without it.
One of the ways professional bloggers make money is through Blog Tutorials. Here you can learn and perfect the act and secrets of blogging and begin to tutor others for a fee and they will pay. The fun is you don’t literally have to hold seminars and hope that people will come for your tutorials, as technology has bridged that gap. These days you can just organize an online training through webinar and have a massive attendance and impact people and still make a lot of money.
Secondly you can make your tutorials into e-books; that’s an electronic version of your tutorials that you can write once and sell even a billion time if you wish. Remember that e-book will not expire or consume extra resources from you.
One of the ways to make money from your blog massively is through Affiliate Marketing.
This is exactly how Wikipedia defines Affiliate Marketing: “Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts”.
So here you are rewarded handsomely for sending leads to other people’s products or services. Meaning whenever they sell, you get a commission, even when you are sleeping. Now imagine having great traffic and you decide to throw you weight behind a selling product or products or services.
Plus you can be an affiliate to as many brands as you wish, but always select selling and viable products or services. Some of the companies you can run affiliate marketing for is Amazon, Jumia, Viraltrend, and many more. There are affiliate marketers who makes over $50,000 monthly without sweating. I will throw more lights on this particular ball point in my next article and give you some other cool links you can also start with.
Another cool way is through Direct Contact Marketing: Here you can directly sell items on your blog, e.g like health and weigh loss supplements. I have seen blogs that have build this as a niche and they make a lot of money from it. Talk to the certified suppliers and bargain a good price, buy for cheap and sell directly to others right from your blog.
Direct Paid Adverting: How much do you think Linda Ikeji charge just to post on her blog? Well some years back I paid Linda $300 just for her to post my article about my event on her blog. I can bet it’s as much as $700 if not far more. I can categorically tell you that she makes over $10,000 weekly from direct advert sales from her blog. What about NairaLand? I can bet too they make over $10,000 weekly from direct ads sales. Yet I agree they have large traffic and that’s the reason you should start now as they also started building their blogs at one time in their lives and you too can do it. Imagine you are 25 now and consistently blog till you are 35 years. I can assure you that you can have your retirement in peace at age 45 and be smiling all day. Blogging is huge business.
Social Media Marketing: As a blogger you should understand the power of social media in this era and so you should be savvy with it. Look at all the successful bloggers, they always make sure that they have a great presence on social media and thus, make more sales. Take Tunde Ednut for example he’s a social media blogger. Presently Tunde Ednut charges $300 to put a post or advert on his page. He makes over $4,000 weekly from his Instagram Page. If you are in Nigeria you should also know Instablog. This are all forms of lucrative blogging.
Plus you can also manage other people’s blog and get paid per post. You see the opportunities in blogging are limitless.
