Advertising

The very first thing you need to do after you publish your blog and have at least 10 blog posts is to apply to an advertising network.   The best ones for beginner bloggers are GOOGLE ADSENSE & MEDIA.NET.

It’s super easy as well as simple to join.  

What makes these networks great is the fact that

Now, we wanna share with some pro tips when it comes to using AdSense and then compare Adsense with Media.net.

Pro Tips For Adsense

– You can customize the look of the ads and choose from a variety of ad format options

– Automate your website so you don’t insert your ads manually- saves tons of time 

– Think about the user experience, DON’t place a crazy amount of ads since your readers would find that annoying & would never return on your website.

Google Adsense vs Media.net

– Google AdSense is the leading ad company while Media.net, which has been using Bing and Yahoo! ads, stands as second 

– AdSense has more users than those you expect on Media.net.

– You will get higher commissions from Media.net than you would get from Google’s AdSense only if most of your audience is from the USA or the UK.

A cool thing is that you can use both of the platforms at the same time.   To be more specific, Google Adsense has a list of other networks that they accept.    Anyhow, before you get started with other networks, read the – – – > Adsense program policies, since you must never violate them!

While Adsense and Media.net are great starters, once your website reaches 25000 + sessions per month, you can join MediaVine Publisher Network, that’s how you’ll make much more money! 

If you reach 100k+ page views a month, you could apply to join Adthrive. Your site will make a 3x more per page view with AdThrive.

You may think that is a huge amount of traffic, but trust us, once you start & work constantly implementing everything you have already learned about SEO optimization & Pinterest marketing, you will see the results! In 2022, the average time that takes a brand new blog on the web to get a decent amount of traffic, sales & conversions is from 3-6 months up to one year! So, be patient & work hard!

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is perfect for beginner bloggers & one of the best ways to make money blogging on WordPress. 

That’s how 99% start, we did the very same.

There are tons of Affiliate marketing platforms online that you can join to connect with sellers.

– The most famous ones that we are also a part of are :
 
  1. Cj Affiliate 
  2. ShareASale
  3. Rakuten 
  4. Awin
  5. Impact Radius 
  6. Flexoffers
It’s free & easy to join all of them! 

After you join these networks you’ll be able to find merchants selling products or offering services connected to your niche.  

All you have to do is fill out a short application, wait to get accepted and then start promoting their products as well as services, so you get a commission from every sale you make.  

Instant money making, xoxo! 

Don’t get discouraged if, at the very beginning, the amount of money is not as you wished for, as we’ve already talked about it, things take time, but hard work pays off.

Sell your Products & Services

Your blog represents you & should have a brand-building potential, we already talked about this in our effective – – – > & easy Guide on how to start a successful blog in 2022. There is no better platform online to sell your products & services than your website!

Depending on what your niche is about, you can sell physical or virtual products as well as offer services as an expert in your field. 

1. Sell physical products

– You can easily sell your products ( clothes, accessories, paintings, decorations & everything else you can think of ) using WooCommerce on WordPress.

2. Sell digital products

If your blog is about lifestyle, healthy food, relationship advice, digital marketing, blogging tips & much more, go ahead to create digital products to sell on your website in a form of :  

  • E-book
  • Online courses
  • Webinars
  • Website themes or plugins 
  • Photo
  • Audio Files and Music Production Software
  • Fonts
  • Web-based Applications 
  • Digital art

  • Video Tutorials ( how to edit videos, how to learn graphic design, learn to code & much more)  
  •  

    As you see, the options are plenty !!

    When it comes to selling your services, for every job that freelancers do, you can sell as a service on your website. You can be an online tutor, life coach, graphic designer, transcriptionist, voiceovers creator, translator, writer, etc. And the best thing is that you won’t pay commission to freelance sites such as Fiverr, UpWork, instead you get to keep all the money!

    Write Sponsored Posts

    Firstly, make a list of brands you wanna work with, then find their contact info on their official websites.   

    The next step is to send them an email explaining how you will do a great job in promoting their products/ services, also don’t forget to include a brief ”about you” paragraph (your goals, your blogging journey, etc.).          

    This money-making strategy requires a lot of effort & time, so if you decide to go for it, be patient until you find brands that will want to work with you.
