Hi there, I am Myke, and today I am going to talk about how to make money as a blogger.
If you are new to blogging, then blogging is like a magazine or newspaper but this time on the internet or digitally. This further means it is a platform where content creators get the chance to share their experiences or content.
There are lots of blogging platforms you can join to start your own blog, and that includes WordPress and Blogger platforms.
You can read these articles from Myke Educate below to get started with a blog or blogging.
Whilst with those having enough ideas on blogging, let's talk about the six basic ways to make money online blogging or how to make money in blogging.
1. Displaying Ads From AdSense.
One of the most popular ways of making money from blogging is to show ads with AdSense.
The moment you have a blog, and you need AdSense, visit https://www.google.com/adsense/, register, and submit your blog. Once you get approved by Google AdSense, you can now show ads on your blog and make earnings with it. But trust me, you don't just start a blog and get the chance to show ads, you will need to put in much effort first before you can make money on your blog with AdSense.
Here are some tips You can work on to get AdSense Approval on your blog.
1. Get a Nice Blogger theme with a good layout and navigation.
Make sure to use the right blog theme and also make sure to edit the theme and rearrange the menu of your blog to make it easy to navigate.
2. Get A Top Level Domain.
Free domains can get you AdSense but one of the most simple ways to get AdSense approval is to get a top-level domain like .com. .net or .org.
3. Have The Legal Pages.
Before you seek for AdSense on your blog, I would encourage you to have about us, contact us, disclaimer, and privacy policy pages. These pages will tell the readers what they will get from your blog and remember it is a human that will do the inspection on your blog.
4. Have 20+ Post On Your Blog.
Another thing to do before sending approval for Google AdSense is to have 20 or more content or posts with about 800+ words in each of them. This helps solve low-valued content on your blog and increase the chance of getting AdSense on your blog.
5. Comply To AdSense Policies.
Once you are set, make sure you keep on posting original and meaningful content on your blog. Prove to AdSense you are ready to work with them.
How Do I Earn With AdSense?
Once you are approved on AdSense, and you have a Google AdSense account, ads will start showing on your blog like the below image.
The more traffic you obtain on your blog, the more earnings you get as they see those ads from your blog.
2. Using Direct Links And Ads From Adsterra.
If you failed to get AdSense after several trials and feel you need to change to a different ads network, then Adsterra is the best for you. This Ads network is best for blogs that provide download links to files where their visitors are to click on links to get those files.
Adsterra is free to join and it is one of the most simplest ad networks that won't get you a headache to start with. All you need to do is visit https://publishers.adsterra.com/ and sign up the submit your website link.
Once signed up, you can add their direct links to your images and text and also show ads they offer to you on your blog easily.
3. Sell Your Blog.
Another way to make money blogging is to sell your blog for profit anytime you get AdSense Approval. Yes, there are buyers on Facebook, and other social media ready to buy blogs with Google AdSense Account Approval for $200 or more. So you can create a blog and as soon as you get AdSense, you can sell them with the AdSense account to buyers.
4. Sell Physical Products.
If you have products like creams, perfumes, clothing, and other kinds of physical products that you wish to sell, then you can do that with your blog. Mostly this method of making money blogging is successful when your blog's traffic is from your country so you don't get any stress when selling those products.
5. Sell Ad Space Directly: Negotiate ad placements with brands.
Is your blog popular? If yes then this is your chance to earn or make money from your blog easily. You can contact bloggers who want traffic or businesses that would like to show their products on blogs and ask them to pay for them to be shown on your blog. This method can also help you earn from blogging easily.
6. Sell Digital Products.
I had physical products written on my list and the next one is digital products. You can create and sell e-books, courses, or printables on your blog at a cost. You can even make video courses and eBooks to sell in certain niches.
In summary, AdSense, Adsterra, and Ads Space have been the simplest so far, since they are the methods I have tried out and they worked perfectly. Implementing these blog-earning tricks can make you passive income in your blogging journey.
