But a great blog helps you make more money.<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re an established business or still figuring out how to launch your website<\/a>, we’ve outlined how you can earn extra money, all thanks to a handy little blog. Some bloggers earn thousands in passive income<\/a> from their blogs, and the good news is: your business can do it too.<\/p>\n So, when can you monetize your blog?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n You can only monetize a blog by having consistent and growing levels of traffic. The more people that visit your blog, the more money you can make.<\/p>\n Increase your organic traffic through SEO and content marketing<\/a>, and you\u2019ll start earning money once you\u2019ve put in consistent time and effort. How long this takes is entirely in your hands, go at your own pace!<\/p>\n Read on for seven different ways to earn money from a blog.<\/p>\n Running advertisements on your website is an easy way to monetize your blog and earn passive income<\/a>. The more traffic you have, the more likely that advertisers will want to work with you. But, if you are just getting started<\/a>, you still have some options!<\/p>\n Blogs like Pinch of Yum earn tens of thousands<\/a> a month from running ads alone!<\/p>\n Affiliate marketing<\/a> is the most popular way to monetize a blog. When you\u2019re an affiliate of a brand, you post and share about that brand\u2019s products on your blog. When someone buys a product thanks to your blog, you\u2019ll get a commission.<\/p>\n You could make between 10 and 50 percent<\/strong> commission based on the affiliate program, however, it all depends on the programs you\u2019ve signed up for and the traffic coming into your blog.<\/p>\n According to blogger and coach Melyssa Griffin<\/a>,<\/p>\n There are thousands upon thousands of brands that run affiliate programs, so it\u2019s up to you to find the ones you love and sign up. (Psst: Amazon has an affiliate program<\/a> too!)<\/p>\n Many bloggers<\/a> start making money when they partner up with established brands. Once your blog has a following, reach out to related brands to do sponsored posts or giveaways and get paid to host them on your website or social media.<\/p>\n Danielle Finestone<\/a>, who runs the popular Toronto-based food blog ToFoodies, says, \u201cI work with different brands. Sometimes they want really specific things, like campaigns or contests. Sometimes we do \u201cadvertorials\u201d and giveaways, which are great for the following and something they want to know anyways. That\u2019s when a partnership is at its best.\u201d<\/p>\n In order to secure a sponsorship<\/a>, you\u2019ll have to put together a business proposal<\/a> and pitch it out to brands you want to work with.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n Some influencers start out earning around $100-250 for a sponsored blog post<\/strong> and can eventually earn up to $1000 for an Instagram post<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Once you have a lot of traffic coming to your blog, think of an expertise you can teach to your audience as another way to monetize your blog. What\u2019s something you\u2019re knowledgeable and passionate about?<\/strong> Many bloggers create and sell online courses to make money and build credibility while they\u2019re at it.<\/p>\n According to entrepreneurship blogger Neil Patel,<\/a> you can create and sell an online course even if your blog has under 50 visitors per day. Find out what your audience is looking for and create a course for them!<\/p>\n Patel attests that you can make over $100,000 per year selling online courses<\/strong>.

Sami Huda, a writer for a music blog, says,<\/p>\n Another example is Create and Cultivate<\/a>. What started as a blog is now a community of women empowering women with high-profile events<\/a> and workshops.<\/p>\n In-person workshops allow you to connect with your audience and grow your blog following. By identifying your audience’s needs and hosting a workshop, you can charge a fee per person to teach them what you know.<\/p>\n Artist and YouTube sensation Makoccino<\/a> hosts workshops and retreats to help people learn how to draw and paint.
