How to make money blogging

If you are a new blogger and wondering how to make money blogging, then you are in the right place.

This article will help you to learn more about monetizing your blog and how other bloggers earn $1000 through their blog.

There are hundreds of new blogs launched every single day, but not all of them are earning massive money like others.

If you want to earn money then you have to know about the ways of monetizing your content.

Everyone thinks about AdSense when you read ‘monetizing your contents’, but you can monetize through other ways too.

Let us see how bloggers are making money blogging through an ad network, affiliate marketing, and sponsored posts.

1. Bloggers make money with ads

This is the first and most popular way of monetizing your content.

Every blogger who wants to earn money through blogging will consider AdSense as the best way of earning money.

There is no wrong with it, with the help of ads; many bloggers are earning more than $1000 in a single month.

How does it work?

Bloggers sign up in an ad network by agreeing to place ads on their website.

If the visitor clicks the ads on the website then the ad network will pay you money. You can earn money from CPC and CPM.

– CPC (Cost per Click)

The ad network will pay you when the visitor clicks the ads on your website.

The ad network pays according to the geographical location of the visitor.

Countries like India and Malaysia will have low CPC (Cost per click) while the countries like USA, UK, Canada have high CPC.

CPC is a more profitable model than CPM because CPC can generate more money than CPM.

– CPM (Cost per mille)

It is also called Cost per thousand impressions.

The ad network will pay you for every thousand views of their ads in your blog.

You generate money through every 1000 views of your blog. This model does not generate as much money as CPC.

Most popular ad networks

2. Bloggers make money with Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing is the second known monetizing way for new bloggers.

But in fact, you can earn more money with affiliate marketing than ad networks.

Affiliate Marketing is one of the easiest ways for anyone with a blog to earn money as soon as they start a blog.

You can even monetize your content before you get approval from ad networks like AdSense, Mediavine, Adthrive.

Affiliate marketing does not require pageviews to get approval, you can just sign in and start earning by promoting the affiliate products.

How does it work?

There are lots of affiliate marketing networks available. You can sign up on affiliate marketing sites and research the products you want to promote.
