Choose your blog
niche
Are you an expert at a particular
subject? If you have mastered your craft, share your experience
online with people looking to expand their knowledge.
There are many
great examples of blogging niches. Some relevant blogging ideas
are professional photography, tourism, and recipe writing. Simply
put, your blog should be geared toward
solving people’s problems.
Whatever
topic you choose, it has to
be relevant for people to want to spend money on. So many people
these days are interested in extreme sport and outdoor fun. This is
a niche whose time has come, and bloggers are making money off it.
Write great content
You may have the phrase “content is
king”. It means that great content is the key to attracting,
maintaining and engaging audiences online. This phrase applies to
blogging just as it does to all other aspects of digital marketing.

Monetise your blog
Well, this should go without saying,
but we cannot emphasise it enough. Monetising
your blog simply means
allowing search engines to place external content in your site. This
is usually advertisements for companies and brands.
Google AdSense is one avenue for monetising blogs.
Pay-per-View (PpV) platforms for bloggers pay for the time
visitors spend on your posts.
The service offers pay per click (ppc)
advertisements where you are paid a certain amount when a person
clicks on an ad. Additionally, cost per impression (cpm)
advertisements pay you a certain fixed amount based on the number of
people who see an advertiser’s ad on your blog.
Selling private
advertisements
Apart from selling space to
advertising networks, you can also work with private individuals or
companies. This is especially true if your topic or niche appeals to
their clientele.

Include digital
products in your blog
Do not keep all your eggs in one
basket. Explore the sale of digital products to increase your
streams of income. EBooks are perhaps the best examples of digital
products. When a visitor downloads an eBook from your site, you earn
commissions from its owner.
Other examples of relevant digital
products are online trainings, courses and workshops. At the same
time, sell plugins, apps and themes that upgrade existing software
and tools. Whatever digital tool that you sell, ensure it adds real
value to the visitors of your blog.
Explore affiliate
marketing
Affiliate marketing is a separate channel of creating income
altogether. You essentially approach an advertiser who has a product
to sell online. They grant you a unique tracking code that helps you
both know when and if a customer made a purchase using your link.
