 How to Make Money Blogging in 2023 /$2.023 Month/

The most popular bloggers earn millions of dollars every year.

But even a small blog can bring profit to the author. Of course, we are not talking about fabulously large amounts, but it is quite possible to earn several thousand or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Earnings on advertising

The most obvious and reliable way to turn a blog into a source of income is to place ads on it. Many companies and individuals interested in the audience of your project are willing to pay for showing ads or mentioning a brand.

There is no income bar here - it all depends on the popularity of the content, daily traffic, the number of views and other factors.

A blog can be run on your own domain (website), or on an existing platform (Instagram *, Telegram, YouTube, etc.). Types of advertising for each type of blog will vary. First, we list the universal ways to make money on advertising, then move on to more specific ones.

Cooperation with advertisers directly

For a blog: both on your own domain and on an existing platform.

If the blog has a large active audience, then you can count on cooperation offers from companies. It looks like this: You write paid posts on social networks, articles or reviews of goods / services and place links to advertisers' websites in them - or give subscribers a promo code for a discount.

The cost of cooperation is negotiated individually. Most often, the issue of price depends not so much on the popularity of your blog, but on the ability to negotiate.

If you don't want to wait for business owners to contact you, look for interested advertisers yourself. For example, through special exchanges of bloggers:

They also provide analytics on the subject of the blog: information on the average cost per 1000 impressions of an advertising post (CPM), the average audience engagement percentage (ER) and the number of blogs. This will help you understand which blogs are most profitable in terms of advertising and how competitive this or that niche is.

This way of earning is suitable for bloggers who are just starting to promote their channel in Telegram and other social networks. Affiliate networks have no site traffic requirements, so even beginners can participate in referral programs.

How does this monetization method work? You place an affiliate link to a product or service in the material. If a visitor clicks on it and makes a purchase, you will receive a percentage of the transaction.

Usually such material is published in the format of reviews, instructions or tutorials. For example, in a blog about tourism, you can tell subscribers about preparing for long hikes and add links to relevant products - sports shoes, fins and masks, backpacks, tents.

Referral links usually differ from the standard ones that lead to site pages in the format "https://your-domain.com/page".

Affiliate marketing is a legal way to make money blogging in almost any niche. The upper bar of income is not limited - it all depends on the product you advertise.

Of all the existing affiliate programs, choose those that will look organic on your blog. For example, a blog about tourism can be connected to the Aviasales referral program, but advertising from L'Etoile will be less successful.

For a competent selection of an affiliate network, refer to special aggregators. So you do not have to look for advertisers on your own. In addition, it is convenient - you can connect to a dozen different programs, save commissions and receive payments in one place.
