How To Make Money Blogging [Part 5]
Welcome to the final part of the How to Make Money Blogging series. If you’ve just landed here, start at part 1 to get the full story!
Now that you’ve reached the pinnacle of blogging success and are likely a leading blog in your niche, where is left to go? With that blog, not much further: consolidate, keep going, or sell up are your primary choices.
However, you do have a lucrative skill that many will now be aware of: the ability to design and develop a successful WP site. This is a skill that many people are hungry for, and as a result it is very much in demand – and it’s a skill that you can offer with concrete proof of your success.
There are multiple routes you can go down here: develop plugins to fix issues that have come up repeatedly in your journey and fix a problem in your market. Perhaps you have a new theme idea that looks good and also offers unique functionality to a unique segment. Perhaps you’re a graphics whizz, perhaps…
Whatever your skills, these are directly monetizable, and with the reputation you have gained, you can make a nice side income for yourself creating tools and blogs for other people, or simply for yourself and reselling them on the greater WordPress marketplace.
Many people start a blog with not much of idea where to go, other than to create some posts and get SEO exposure. This series shows you that you can have a game plan from day one, and also that it is attainable with hard work and time – are you ready to start making money blogging? Then get to it!
Interesting series, thanks for sharing! Your posts answered all my questions except one - how do you feel about things like Patreon? I suppose that is a little like the membership section you mentioned.
