7 Quick Blogging Tips to Make More Money
However, it's not that easy, really it's not.
But, it's even not impossible.
There are people who are earning thousands of dollars with their blogs.
Again, as you may have heard it hundreds of times before that they are putting in a lot of effort to generate money from their blogs.
What if I say that you can generate hundreds of dollars with your own blog?
It will surely excite you and that's the excitement which should be in your mind, heart and your hands as you have to write for generating good money.
So, let's get started by reading these 7 quick bogging tips to make more money as per the ways of professional bloggers:
1. Start with WordPress
Yes, this is what you should keep in mind before starting your blog, as I was wondering why professional bloggers recommend WordPress instead of other blogging sites and networks.
Soon after that, I discovered that WordPress has millions of great features that no blogging network or CMS can give you by any means.
Yes, from creating a blog to changing themes, adding plugins, and making a huge website or even a social network, WordPress can help you do just about anything.
There are three major benefits of having a WordPress blog:
- Self-hosted (everything is yours)
- Thousands of plugins for every need
- Thousands of themes (free and paid)
And the best thing is you can host your WordPress blog on almost every web-hosting provider and most of them are giving you the option of one-click WordPress installation.
I recommend BlueHost as its the most secure and powerful WordPress hosting provider and giving you a free domain name.
You can signup for free and then purchase any hosting package, you will be asked to type your desired domain name and if available you will be able to register that for free This is the beauty of Bluehost.
Some great features of Bluehost:
- Free .Com Domain Name
- Free SSL Certificate
- 1-Click WordPress Installation
- Free 24/7 Expert Support
So, If you want to earn hundreds of dollars, then don't go for free blog hosting sites.
Bonus tip: If you have a blog on Google Blogger or any other blogging platform then you can transfer that to Bluehost WordPress installation. Just ask their support time and they will assist you.
2. Write on a Daily Basis
I know that writing is really a pain-in-ass for many bloggers and even they love blogging, they hate writing and typing.
So, how to write content easily and faster?
- Create a list of keywords for blog posts
- Pick on a keyword every day and search for it on Google
- Now read 4/5 articles that are relative to your keyword
- Sit back, think for a while and now open any text editor
- Write bullet points and your own thoughts
- Now write an introduction and start writing about that bullet points in more details
- Add examples to some bullet points from other websites
- Write the conclusion and post it
That's all, you can add one featured image to every blog post from a free image hosting website like Pexels and Pixabay.
They don't need any backlink from your blog so that you can use those images for commercial purposes too.
3. Redesign your Blog
Yes, redesigning your blog with a unique design is what you should do to attract advertisers and digital marketers.
Why attract them? Because:
- They will give you sponsored content
- They will give you an advertising budget
- They will collaborate with you
- You need those digital marketers to earn more money
Not just digital marketers, even if you are looking to make money with Google Adsense or any other advertising network, a unique design is what can give you more high CPC (cost per click) and cost per thousand impressions which is the key-model of major advertising networks.
Don't know how to edit HTML or CSS?
You can hire WordPress customization experts from freelancing websites like Fiverr or ask me and I will do it for you.
4. Speedup your Blog
Your blog should load faster and as faster as possible.
Fast loading is a myth for many WordPress blogs and that's because of poor-hosting and low knowledge about WordPress plugins.
Many bloggers just keep on fighting with their blog loading time and they can't make their blogs load faster.
As if your blog is not being loaded in the first 3 seconds, most of your blog traffic is being wasted and most of the people who are visiting your blog will never return to it.
That's why a hosting-platform like BlueHost is recommended by professional bloggers which can help you in many ways to make money blogging and have a safe blogging journey.
They are giving you fast loading servers and make sure that your blog is up and loading smoothly.
In addition to speeding up your WordPress blog, you can install a caching plugin and don't forget to install the SSL certificate which you will get for free in Bluehost hosting plan.
SSL will further help you to make your blog load faster at the blink of your eye.
5. Join Influencer Marketing Networks
Networks like Adsy and more can help you increase your visibility on Google and rank your blog posts higher with a great link profile.
You can market your blog with these networks and get help too.
Influencer marketing networks can help you connect with like-minded people and brands for generating revenue.
Yes, brands will reach out to you for publishing reviews about their products and services and in return, they will compensate you with your asking price.
This is something like Instagram Influencer Marketing, as you can see that many celebrities and high followed people are sharing their reviews about newly launched products.
They get paid for that kind of sponsored posts and most of them receive free products to post an image or video on their profiles.
The same thing can be done on your blog and for this, you can also create a sponsored content page on your blog where you should showcase your numbers and impress advertisers, marketers, and brands to partner with you.
6. Start Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is the latest and also the oldest way of generating money.
You can do it on your blog, almost in every-niche you can have an affiliate network in place and that can help you earn your commissions.
If you don't want to review low-quality products and don't want to partner with different networks for different products then here's a list of best affiliate networks for bloggers:
- Amazon Affiliates
- CJ Affiliate
- ShareASale
- SkimLinks
The easiest way to start making money with affiliate marketing on your blog is to signup for Amazon Affiliate Program as it's a free and a trusted program.
Amazon has millions of products and the best thing about Amazon is you will get paid for the purchases which your referrals will make without the rule of one product.
It means you can get paid with your commissions even when your referred person has not purchased the product you are recommending.
With Amazon, all you have to do is just send visitors to them and get paid when they make a purchase.
NOTE: Many bloggers are earning thousands of dollars with Amazon affiliate marketing.
7. Create a Paid Subscription
The paid subscription on your blog?
Sounds a bit weird?
Well, that's something a few bloggers are doing and many of the news websites are generating millions with a paid subscription model.
What is that?
- A paid subscription for blogs is "Paid Newsletter"
- Your readers subscribe to your paid newsletter and you send exclusive content to them
You can start making money with a paid subscription option on your blog when you have a huge following and readership.
There is one simple thing, you should keep posting general articles on the blog and make them public.
When your road to blogging is clear and when people start reacting to your blog posts and you are receiving comments or you have much traffic (more than 1 million page-views a month).
It is time to start a paid subscription service.
How to do it?
- Tease your visitors with a big banner of early-bird discount on your paid subscription
- Start offering paid subscription from $0.10 with PayPal payment option
- This will give you an initially paid readership so that you can show numbers
After getting at-least 1,000 paid newsletter subscribers, you can begin charging $0.99/month or a straight $1 or $2.
However, $0.99 per month works great and makes the readers subscribe to test that what you are offering.
Now it's up to you, there should be a weekly digest and monthly magazine about whatever niche your blog is about and these digests and magazines should be delivered only to paid bloggers.
So?
What is the best option for you? from these three:
- Partnering with Influencer Marketing Agencies
- Doing Affiliate Marketing
- Creating Paid Newsletter
You can choose your favorite and start testing that on your blog.
