Starting a blog with the purpose of sharing your passion or interest with the world is great, but what is even greater is making money from it. Many people now earn a living online by creating a new blog and simply sharing their knowledge, talking about their passion, or even discussing topic around their businesses.

 It is possible to build a full income stream from your personal/business blog but this isn’t so easy to achieve. You will need to come up with a right strategy having in mind your end goals. Blogging without a strategy is like playing a dice game. You could get lucky and win or you could lose. But having a good strategy and following it up will make winning more likely, if not certain.

 In this guide, I will be showing you the best blog monetization opportunities and how to know it’s time to monetize your new blog.



 Drafting a strategy that will suit your goal

 The first thing to consider is the niche of your blog. You have to pick a niche where there is a demand for information. As a beginner, you can consider choosing one of the fast growing blog niche for quick monetization. 

After choosing a niche for your blog, you then move over to driving traffic to your blog. The simple way to achieve this is by creating lots of quality contents and making them available to the world.  However, simply writing and posting articles is sadly not enough to get you the traffic you need, you have to also hustle for search engines attention. Getting noticed by search engines is the beginning of your successful blogging career. 

When your blog starts ranking in search engines, people will start finding and reading your articles. This is the first joy of a Blogger, to think that someone out there actually read what you created sitting in a corner of your bedroom and have probably gotten value from it his soul refreshing.

 In order to achieve this, you will need to write hiigh quality, search engine optimized (SEO) articles and publish a lot of them on your site.

 Apart from ranking in search engines, there are other effective ways of promoting the visibility of your blog. These include leveraging social media, guest posting, offering  free ebooks, and building an e-mail list.

 Social  medias such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, ETC are good platforms for reaching more people. You can start by sharing short form information on your social platforms and appropriately adding a link to longer from articles on your blog for interested readers who will like to learn more about the topic.

 Guest posting is a collaboration between You and another Blogger. It involves creating and publishing a content on another blog in exchange for an opportunity to drop your link hoping that some of the readers will deem it worthy to come check out your own blog.

 Again, you can run an ad inviting interested readers to drop by your blog and grab a free ebook while you get their emails in return. This is the best way to build an e-mail list of like minded people.



 When to monetize your blog

 After starting a new blog, it is important to focus more on building and growing your blog's credibility and authority since this is what will improve the worth of your site. However, after consistent writing and publishing a d your blog starts receiving a significant amount of traffic each day then it is time to start making money off of your hard work. There is no given number of visitors you must have before thinking of monetizing your blog, but you must use your common sense to decide at what range to start monetizing.

 You must however note that site monetization is a numbers game, the more traffic you get on your blog, the more money you will  make from it.

 6 ways to monetize your blog and make money

 While there are many ways to make money from your blog, these six methods are the most profitable.

 Google AdSense

 Starting with Google AdSense, all you need is at least 1000 daily viewers. Running the Google Ads on your blog is a very simple passive way of drawing in revenue from your blog without having to do any additional work other than the regular writing and publishing.

You can make up to $2 to $5 pay 1000 views depending on the niche of your blog. In this order, 10,000 views will generate $20 to $50, and so on.

 Affiliate marketing

 A good way of leveraging your audience loyalty is by affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing entails recommending products or services to your readers for them to purchase using a link that is unique to you. For every purchase made through your link, you earn a commission. In order to make the best from affiliate marketing, it is essential to search for affiliate programs targeting similar audience as your blog.

 All you have to do is develop content promoting whatever affiliate offer you plan to push out.

 Sell ad space on your site

 While many people embrace pay-per-click (PPC) ads thinking it is a great way to make lots of money with their blogs, this will only add a few dollars to the revenue except if the blog is already getting massive traffic around 10,000 to 100,000 views per day - which is very rare.

However, you can put up a space in your blog for ad placement. You can negotiate directly with advertisers as long as the ads are within your specific niche.

 Subscription

 Providing subscription option for your premium content is another way you can monetize your expertise in your niche.

 However, it’s important to have free content on your blog. This is the window through which people will get a glimpse of the value of your content and subsequently decide whether they want to pay for the more valued ones.

 

Offer sponsored posts

 this is another form of advertising where businesses pay you to create content around their product or service in the form of a review or promotion. You will negotiate the terms and conditions and also the amount for the post. It is also crucial to indicate to your readers about sponsored posts.

 EBooks

 EBooks offer a direct and easy means of making money from your blog. Develop an eBook around the content of your blog. It can be a DIY guide, a CHEAT SHEET, a tutorial, or even general knowledge about the topic of your blog.

 If you are not sure what to write on, you can come up with a few options and create a form or a poll asking your readers to vote for any of the topics they would like you to create an eBook on. Doing this will help you understand your readers more and even deliver more value to them in your regular blog postings.

Remember that blog monetization is a numbers game. The more traffic your blog drives, the more profit you will make from any of the listed monetization plans.

Ultimately, by implementing a well-thought-out strategy and consistently delivering value to your readers, you can turn your passion into a profitable online business through your blog.
