As a blogger, you can make money by promoting affiliate products on your website, by growing a list that you can promote your own products and services to, and you can even make money by joining blog project databases, where you are paid for writing about new launches, providing feedback on company products, or in offering paid reviews for other new bloggers who are interested in gaining traffic from you.
Of course, how much money you can make will ultimately depend on how much traffic you are able to generate to your website.
The more traffic, the more lucrative your blog will be to potential paid sponsors, and of course, with consistent traffic you can make money through commissions from affiliate products that are purchased through your referral.
As someone who has been blogging for over five years, I always recommend to new bloggers that they focus on growing traffic before ever trying to monetize their blogs. Building a list or newsletter is probably your best bet for substantial, regular future income. You’ll be offering free information in exchange for your visitor’s email address. I will talk about that in more detail shortly.
Generally speaking, you need to build a reputation within your market, generate as many back links as possible, and push your website out in front of as many potential prospects as possible before you focus on making money from your blog. You need a captive audience, a loyal following, and return visitors who find your website informative, useful, interesting and worth returning to time and time again.
Once you have solidified yourself within the blogging community, you can then take it a step further by implementing money-making strategies into all areas of your blog, but you need to lay the groundwork first and focus on generating a steady stream of traffic to your website.
That being said, even from the birth of your website there are a few things that you should do that can be monetized in the future. As mentioned, one of these things involves building a list.
While you may have an RSS subscription option on your website, you need to take it a step further by implementing an auto-responder opt-in form on your site that captures your visitors information and lets you stay in touch with your subscribers.
