How
to
make
money
blogging
in
2024

First,
check
out
this
video
from
our
founder
Ramit
Sethi
on
how
he
monetized
his
blog
to
earn
him
millions.

Below
are
even
more
details
on
systems
you
can
use
to
monetize
your
blog.

Word
of
warning:
None
of
these
options
are
“easy.”
They
each
require
their
own
bit
of
work
and
research.
But
if
you’re
willing
to
put
in
the
time
and
energy,
you’ll
be
able
to
find
the
right
systems
and
make
them
work
for
you.

Advertisements
and
sponsorships

This
is
the
method
making
money
blogging
you’re
likely
most
familiar
with.
They
come
in
the
way
of
banner
ads
you
see
on
a
website’s
header
or
sidebar.

These
advertisements
come
in
a
few
different
forms:

• Pay-per-action.
  Advertisers
  pay
  the
  website
  owner
  each
  time
  a
  user
  completes
  an
  action
  that
  they
  previously
  agreed
  upon
  (e.g.
  signing
  up
  for
  a
  newsletter)
• Pay-per-click.
  Advertisers
  pay
  the
  website
  owner
  each
  time
  a
  user
  clicks
  on
  the
  advertisement
  (this
  is
  most
  common).
• Pay-per-impression.
  Advertisers
  pay
  the
  website
  owner
  each
  time
  a
  reader
  simply
  looks
  at
  the
  advertisement.

A
great
way
to
get
started
with
advertisements
to
monetize
your
blog
is
by
using

Google
AdSense.
This
is
Google’s
way
of
connecting
advertisers
with
websites
in
order
to
place
ads
on
their
pages.

Another
similar
way
to
make
money
through
your
blog
is
through
sponsorships.

These
are
branded
pieces
of
content
that
are
typically
sponsored
by
a
third-party
company.

For
example,
imagine
you
have
a
photography
blog.
Nikon,
the
camera
company,
might
sponsor
a
blog
post
where
you
review
their
latest
DSLR
camera.

This
is
another
solid
way
to
make
money
blogging—though
the
barrier
to
entry
is
much
higher
since
you
need
thousands
of
readers
a
month,
and
you
need
to
spend
time
reaching
out
to
sponsors.

Still,
if
you
have
the
time
and
resources,
it’s
worth
trying.

Affiliate
marketing

Affiliate
marketing
works
by
sharing
a
link
for
a
product.
Everytime
a
person
purchases
that
product,
you
receive
a
cut
of
the
earnings.

For
example,
a
blog
about
cell
phones
might
have
an
affiliate
partnership
with
Samsung.
They
might
have
affiliate
links
on
their
blogs
for
different
phones
and
accessories.
If
one
of
their
readers
purchases
a
phone
from
Samsung
via
the
link,
the
blogger
gets
money.

The
catch
is
you
not
only
need
a
lot
of
readers
frequenting
your
blog,
but
they
need
to
be
the
type
of
readers
willing
to
purchase
the
products
you’re
marketing.
That’s
a
tough
combination
to
get
together.

Plus,
your
readers
might
get
put
off
by
the
fact
that
you’re
offering
an
affiliate
link—even
if
you
make
it
clear
to
them
that
it’s
an
affiliate
link.

If
you’re
still
interested
though,
a
good
way
to
get
started
is
with

Amazon
Associates.
They
have
one
of
the
largest
affiliate
marketing
programs
out
there.

Ebooks

Selling
a
digital
product
such
as
ebooks
is
a
great
way
to
make
money
from
your
blog.

It
can
help
generate

passive
income
while
spreading
word
about
your
blog
and
brand.

And
it
doesn’t
have
to
be
some
crazy
huge
multi-volume
book
that
would
give
Ulysses
a
run
for
its
money
either.
Ebooks
can
be
as
brief
as
25
–
50
pages.

What
matters
is
that
you’re
giving
your
reader

a
ton
of
value
with
the
ebook.

And
if
you’ve
been
running
your
blog
for
a
while,
you
likely
have
all
the
material
you
need
to
create
it.
Just
take
that
content
and
repurpose
it
for
your
ebook.

 

Apps

Apps
and
software
are
another
digital
product
you
can
sell
on
your
blog.

For
example,
you
might
have
a
blog
about
hunting.
Your
readers
might
love
an
app
from
you
showcasing
all
the
best
public
and
private
lands
in
their
area
available
to
hunt.

Unlike
an
ebook,
though,
the
barrier
to
entry
is
a
little
higher.

After
all,
you
either
need
to
be
able
to
build
the
app
yourself
or
be
able
to
find
someone
that
does.

However,
if
you
make
something
people
love,
your
hard
effort
could
wind
up
being
very
successful.

Memberships
and
subscriptions

This
is
a
great
method
if
you
have
a
devoted
community
of
readers.
They’re
likely
following
you
because
you’re
an
expert
on
your
niche
and
you
offer
them
incredibly
valuable
advice.

If
that’s
the
case,
they
might
be
willing
to
pay
a
fee
each
month
to
get
high-quality,
premium
content.

That’s
the
core
of
membership
and
subscription
blogs.
You
offer
your
readers
access
to
great
content
at
a
fixed
monthly
cost.
They
subscribe,
and
you
keep
them
coming
back
with
your
amazing
content.

If
your
community
is
strong
and
your
content
is
great,
you
can
create
an
incredibly
popular
membership
site
like
Jon
Morrow’s

Serious
Bloggers
Only.
On
his
site,
he
offers
his
readers
a
community
of
like-minded
copywriters
the
tools
and
connections
needed
to
grow
and
thrive
in
the
industry.
