How To Make Money Blogging [Part 1]
Making money online is a great way to live: you can be location independent, you don’t have to make a daily commute, and you’re in complete control of your life. Of course, there is a gritty downside to this – and that’s simply that it can take a long time to get up and running to a level where you’re free… and it can be tricky to get started.
In this multi-part guide, we are going to show you how you can use WordPress to make legit money and build a true business empire. These are the best things you can do right now to start making money on WordPress blogging – and you can get started right now!
Be warned, though – if you’re thinking this is a get rich quick scheme, think again. Never let the big houses, nice cars and beach pictures fool you – you need to put your work in, just as with any real business
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin…I am going to assume that you’ve already got your blog set up and ready to rumble – perhaps you already have a few posts ready to go. If you haven’t, it’s a good idea to go do that right now so you have something to work with!
The first thing you’ll want to do is monetize your blog. There are multiple ways you can do this, including leveraging the power of affiliate marketing using sites like Amazon, Commission Junction, ShareASale, JVZoo, and ClickBank to find products relevant to your blog and niches.
Get a plugin like ThirstyAffiliates and you’ll be able to easily manage all your links and even cloak them, as well as auto-replace keywods and monitor performance. Get that set up, and we will move onto part 2 swiftly.
Would you say that things like Google Ads are dead at this point and not a good way to monetize? What are your thoughts on Patreon or a blog store selling branded items?
