Well no i don't have any courses like that to sell just yet but give me a few months and you might see a video of me plugging the course while i'm in my garage talking about how i love books what just kidding but anyway look these are all valid questions and to be honest i had all of these questions too when i was first starting out with making money with a blog however now.
That i'm on the other side of things i'm happy to tell you that making an income from your blog is possible provided you focus on a few key things and this video is going to cover exactly what those things are in fact we'll actually cover some of the specific tactics that have allowed me to earn money passively through my blogs what's more i'm actually going to cover tactics that have helped me earn an active income as well as tactics that have helped me earn a passive income for example if you check out section number two of this video you'll actually discover one of the actual techniques that helps me earn passive income day in day out anyway whether you.
Want to earn active or passive income from your blog make sure you stick around to the end or else you might miss some of the key tactics that will help you monetize your site hopefully once you're done with this video you'll understand what it takes to create a blog that earns a good chunk of money for you so let's get started so section number one can you actually make money from a blog right so before we get started here i just want to clear up a few things when it comes to monetizing your blog i think it's really important to mention this because you know you've got people saying that earning an income from your blog as possible.
And then you've got other people saying you can't really make a good income from your blog plus i don't really want to mislead people here and so i just want to point out a few things okay so look here's the thing making money from your blog is definitely possible but it takes a fair bit of upfront work for example throughout.
This video i'm going to cover a few of the websites that generate income for me but these websites can only generate a decent income because they're actively attracting a good chunk of visitors if these websites weren't doing a good job in terms of attracting traffic they probably wouldn't make any money in fact they definitely wouldn't make any money i mean for a website to make money someone usually has to visit it and do something right so if nobody is visiting my websites then nobody is doing anything that will actually lead to revenue being generated so with all that said if you want to generate income from your blog it needs to be attracting a decent number of visitors.
Now it's hard to say how many visitors you actually need as it all depends on your goals and perhaps even the niche you're in it could also depend on the approach you're taking to monetization i mean as we're going to mention later some approaches such as affiliate marketing might make more money than ads either way i just want to make it clear that yes earning an income from your blog is 100 possible but first you need to focus on building a solid website that attracts a good number of visitors from google.
Only then we have a solid foundation that allows you to earn an income that you can rely on if you want some advice on how you can build a website that will rank and generate traffic you might want to check out this video of mine the ultimate seo tips for beginners to rank number one in 2022 where it covers some really useful seo tips so option number one is ads right so with all that said the first income strategy.
That i want to focus on is advertising now i know that this approach doesn't sound very exciting doesn't sound very glamorous but ads can actually be a very good way to earn passive income from your site and one of the main reasons for this is that it's really.
Easy to make money with this method i mean you basically just need to choose an ad network set up the ads on your site and then kind of just leave things like that it's completely passive a percentage of your visitors will click on these ads and then usually at the end of the month your chosen ad network will send you money based on how many people clicked on your ads pretty simple.
Right now i have two websites cheaperbirds.com and relaxolicaboss.com to earn decent income from this method in fact if you check out this graphic you can actually see a summary of the ad revenue i've achieved with these sites in a pretty short period of time by the way just in case you're wondering this is with the ad network mediavine all right so let's just cover some of the things you need to understand about this monetization method.
So firstly the amount of money you can make with this method kind of depends on the niche you're in this is because clicks in some niches are generally worth more than clicks in other niches for example the finance space is often way more lucrative than something like the knitting market secondly the amount of money you earn with this approach.
Is also really sensitive to the amount of traffic.
You can generate this is a key point because single clicks generally don't produce a ton of money i mean most ad clicks generate money in the form of cents and not dollars so if you want to earn a decent income from this approach you need to know.
How to build a high traffic site and if you can't figure this out you're not going to make a decent income of this method unfortunately as long as you keep these two things in mind you shouldn't really face any big nasty surprises when it comes to making money with this approach by the way if.
You get the chance please remember to like and subscribe on youtube if you like this video it's going to help us reach more people which is great when you consider how many people want to learn how to monetize their blog i mean you don't want to keep this information to yourself do you plus if you become a subscriber it'll be a lot easier for you to find our future content i mean this is actually kind of important because if you want to succeed with the methods we're covering.
Here you need to know how to rank your site which is something i'm going to cover in future videos and if you miss this content and you don't learn the stuff we're going to cover in other videos you might not make that much money from your sites so option number two is affiliate income.
So another way you can earn money with a blog is by focusing on affiliate income so how does affiliate marketing work well with this approach you generally promote or even just mention a product or service and link to it then if someone clicks on your link and spends money on the thing you mentioned or promoted you earn a nice cheeky commission it's a pretty simple low effort method.
And it's one of the best approaches to focus on if you're interested in making 100 passive income now something i just want to focus on here is that affiliate income is something most people prefer over at income one of the main reasons for this is that affiliate revenue per click is often a lot higher when compared to the per click revenue of ads so suppose you have two websites that are in the same niche and attracting the same level of traffic one is monetizing with ads while the.
Other is monetizing with affiliate methods a lot of the time the website that relies on affiliate methods.
Will tend to make more money why because generally if someone buys an affiliate product you often make more money than if someone clicks on your ads because of this with affiliate websites there is generally less pressure on you to ramp up your traffic numbers so that you can earn a decent income and this kind of makes earning a decent income from your blog generally a whole lot easier now some people get around this problem by using both ads and affiliate links.
On this site and this is actually something i do on cheaperbirds.com and this can work really well but of course you just need to make sure it's not over the top or else you're going to provide people with a bad user experience so don't bombard them with crazy amounts of ads or affiliate links keep it neutral so with that said how do you earn an affiliate income with your website well if you want to make affiliate income from your site you first need to decide what kind of affiliate program you're going to focus on for example you can go with something like amazon associates or you could go to a platform like awin generally an affiliate platform will tell you beforehand.
How much commission you will make if you manage to sell a certain product or service so here's an example from one of the affiliate options on awen in this example the person.
Making an affiliate sale will earn six percent commission on top of that here's a fee structure that amazon uses for their associates program now i just want to say that none of this is set in stone these platforms can change the fee structure at any time.
So don't assume that these figures are guaranteed because of this you might always want to consider looking at a backup affiliate program in case the one you choose suddenly lowers their commissions anyway once you've picked an affiliate network you then need to figure out how you're actually going to get people to click on your affiliate links if you're going to go with something like amazon associates one of the ways you can get people to click on your links is by creating review blog posts i'm sure you've seen these kind of posts they generally just posts that have best in the title so if you have a fishing blog you might have a blog post titled best fishing gear for beginners you might then list out the best items in this niche and you might include an affiliate link next.
To each of your recommendations you then focus on ranking this blog post for the keyword best fishing gear for beginners.
So that you can get a lot of relevant traffic to your post of course this is just one method and that applies to one kind of affiliate marketing network i mean you could also promote items for an email newsletter or you could even just have a small section on your site that lists recommended products and courses there's really a lot of options here and your ability to make money with affiliate marketing often comes down to your creativity and how good you are at driving traffic that said some affiliate networks have rules in regards to how you can promote offers so always make sure you read these rules before you decide.
On a certain approach option number three is redirecting traffic to a product or service on a third party site now another way you can monetize your blog is by redirecting traffic to a third-party website where you offer some kind of service for example if you're a graphic design freelancer you might want to redirect people to a profile you have on a freelancing platform you can then use this approach to build up your presence on this platform and then that can help you earn more money in the future i actually do something like this and i do it by combining two websites keempassive.com a website i own and five look up on king passive.
I have a lot of blog posts that cover general business and marketing topics and on this site there are some super easy to find buttons that people can click on these buttons generally include a cta such as discover 999 ways to make money or discover 50 ways to make money with cryptocurrency if someone clicks on these buttons they will then be taken to my fiverr profile with hundreds of reviews and then that gig can convert nicely and there they can invest in one of my services or products that promote.
On the platform and i really like this method because it helps me build up my profile on fiverr this then improves my overall visibility on the platform and then i can make even more money plus it's also kind of a good backup in case something ever happens to my website.
I mean if the worst should happen my website just gets wiped out due to an algorithm update or something like that i'll still have my profile on fiverr and i can use that income from that to.
Potentially launch my next project if you've seen some other websites that do a good job of this mention them in the comments section i'd love to check them out option number four is promoting.
Your own service or product so the final option i want to cover here is actually just promoting your own product or service depending on how you do things this can be the most lucrative approach.
I mean if you're relying on adverts you're essentially just getting a small slice of the pie of someone else's earnings if you're relying on affiliate income you might make a bit more money but you're still getting a share of someone else's income and if you use third-party platforms.
You're going to have to give up some of your earnings as those platforms take a commission however if you promote your own product or service you can skip all that and you can basically keep all of the money you earn minus the obvious transaction fees and stuff and you can then make.
A really good income with even relatively small amounts of traffic for example on my seo agency website juliangoldi.
com i've been able to close clients and provide me with five thousand dollars per month of monthly recurring revenue this site generates a good amount of traffic but it's not near the hundreds of thousands of visitors such a bird attracts however it's fair to say they'd be.
Hard to earn that much money with cheaper birds if the traffic numbers were the same by the way i've mentioned throughout the video that actually getting traffic to your site is key here my link building agency that i've just mentioned here actually specializes in helping people get more traffic with the help of seo if you'd like some advice on how you can get more seo traffic to your site you can book in a free consultation call with my agency at juliangoldi.com anyway of course.
Your ability to succeed with this approach is going to depend on what you're comfortable with doing for example if you don't have any skills you might not be able to take this approach as you simply might not have a service to sell if that's the case you may want to consider starting a website that's relevant to one of your skills and even if you don't have any skills you might want to consider learning a skill that you can actually get paid for and if you're looking to.
Keep your workload to a minimum you could always create products or courses that are relevant to your website for example with cheaperbirds.com i could create an ebook that's based on bird watching i wouldn't even have to write this myself as i could potentially just outsource this to someone that has expertise in this topic alternatively on my relax psychoboss website.
I could release a course about mindfulness or meditation and to be honest there's many ways you could take this and you can be as creative as you like it the main thing is that whatever you're selling is actually something you own and have control over okay so that's.
The end of this video hopefully you now have a decent sense of how you can monetize your blog and make a great income from it everyone tends to have their own preferences here and so there's.
Probably not one form of monetization that every single person loves because of this you might want to take a moment to reflect so that you can decide which approach is right for you once you've figured this out you can then consider building out your website and seo strategy around the monetization method that you've chosen and if you have any questions or anything like that please drop a message in the comments i'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.
