How to Make Money Blogging for Beginners | 10 PROVEN Ways
Although there are a ton of ways to make money blogging but as a beginner, we’d recommend you to focus on the following monetization strategies as they work like a charm.
1. Affiliate Marketing
Hands down affiliate marketing is the best way to earn passive income from blogging. The majority of the income we earn from BloggersPassion comes from selling affiliate products. It’s the ultimate way to make money blogging as a beginner. How much can you earn from affiliate marketing? The sky’s the limit when it comes to affiliate marketing earnings. We already mentioned our Semrush earning reports, for those who missed them, here’s it again. See that? $394,000+ and counting. That too from just one affiliate product. Isn’t it insane? It’s not just me, but there are also successful affiliate marketers such as Adam Enfroy, who reported over $80,000 in affiliate revenue in June 2021. That’s the power of affiliate marketing. If done right, you can make money even while you sleep. There are a ton of affiliate programs you can pick to promote high-paying products to your target audience. We mostly promote the following affiliate products to earn from our blog.
SEO tools such as Semrush, Serpstat (you can also read our Semrush affiliate program review) Web hosts such as Bluehost, Hostinger, A2 Hosting (you can also check out our Bluehost affiliate program review) WordPress (including tools, plugins, themes, and more)

Pros:
There’s no need to create a product or service as you can find and promote other vendors’ products for free You can work and make money from anywhere Low upfront cost (all you need is a website or an email list to start promoting your affiliate products) It’s a great passive income source that helps you make money even while you sleep You can help people by promoting useful products that solve their problems and make money while helping (so it’s a win/win approach) Most of the affiliate programs are entirely free to join and offer an instant account setup facility. Some of the affiliate programs such as the Semrush affiliate program offer a “10-year cookie period”. It means you can earn a commission even when someone clicks on your affiliate link and then buys a Semrush subscription plan 10 years later! You’ll get access to banners and ad copies with most affiliate programs to easily promote their products to your audience
Cons:
The only drawback with affiliate marketing is that it takes a lot of time (at least 1 to 2 years) to start earning a decent income every month ($1000+ per month) from affiliate marketing. If you’re looking for a get quick rich scheme, affiliate marketing is NOT for you.
2. Google AdSense
Google AdSense is one of the best ways to make money blogging for beginners. In fact, the majority of the new bloggers launch their blogs to make money from AdSense. Google AdSense is an ad publishing network from Google that helps bloggers to earn money and allows publishers to pay for showing their ads. Here’s how AdSense works (in simple terms). Google charges advertisers per each ad click. Publishers such as bloggers and website owners get 68% of the click amount (or 51% when it comes to AdSense for search). Your AdSense earnings totally depend on the competition and CPC in your industry. Usually, the commission per click can range from $0.20 to $15 and more. You need an AdSense account to start showing ads on your website and earn money from ad clicks. How much can you earn from AdSense? Bloggers like Harsh Agrawal earned more than $50,000 from AdSense alone. Have a look; Many bloggers earn a few hundred dollars a month if they are getting a minimum of 1000 visitors a day. As mentioned earlier, your AdSense earnings depend on the competition and CPC of the keywords in your niche. For instance, your average AdSense earnings can be much higher if you’re running a credit cards related website (when compared to a technology site). Few resources that can help you with Google AdSense:

Cons:
Google can close your AdSense account anytime they want (in case of fraudulent cases such as generating automated traffic, artificially inflating the impressions or clicks, and more) Honestly, AdSense pays you peanuts (even if you generate a ton of traffic or clicks every day, you earn peanuts and your earnings also depend on CPC of keywords) AdSense ads will impact your page loading times which ultimately affects your website’s user experience
3. Selling Digital Products
Do you have any expertise in your industry? Or do you want to sell something directly to the audience? Then, you should definitely try selling digital products. People love to buy digital products such as eBooks, checklists, themes, plugins, tools, stock photos, swipe files, and so on. They can be easily downloaded from a smartphone or a desktop and can be used instantly. Thanks to the recent rapid growth of digital marketing, there are so many payment gateways that provide easy access to sell your digital products such as eBooks. How much can you earn from selling digital products? We made over $10,000 selling our premium eBooks in the last one year alone. The best part?

Cons:
Possible for piracy as people can buy your products and then distribute them for free on various platforms or forums If you create a product without validating the idea, it can backfire. People may not buy just because you’ve created something for them. Product validation is a must!
4. Make Money Selling Online Courses

5. Offer Consulting
Did you know that successful online marketers like Brian Clark from CopyBlogger and Laura Roeder from Edgar started their online journey by offering services before launching their online ventures? Yes, that’s true. If you want a stable income and be seen as an expert in your niche, offer consulting. How much can you earn as a consultant online? It depends on your expertise and niche. For instance, fitness consultants get paid according to the brand they build and customers they target. Obviously, you can earn more by targeting customers from the US and Canada (and less in Asia). Did you know that SEO experts like Neil Patel charge up to $5,000 just for an hour-long consultation? So there’s no cap on how much you can earn as a consultant.

You’re your own boss. You can work remotely. You don’t have to attend offline meetings as everything can be done online through emails, Skype or Zoom calls.

Cons:

Writers like Jon Morrow charged upwards $3000 to $5000 for every blog post he wrote. Side note: Jon Morrow is NOT writing for anyone as he now built a successful blog called Smart Blogger which generates thousands of dollars each month.

Cons:
Your income is directly proportional to the clients you pick. There are a lot of people who don’t pay you even after finishing your projects. So you should know how to deal with your clients. It’s NOT a passive income source. Your income stops once you stop working.
7. Sponsored Posts Or Paid Reviews
Sponsored blog posts (or paid reviews) are promotional reviews of the product or service. They are usually written by the blog owners (in some cases, companies provide you content for free) and they publish those reviews on their blog in exchange for money with a link back to the advertiser’s website. It is undoubtedly one of the best ways on how to make money blogging for beginners. Here’s an example of a sponsored post (on the “Quick Sprout” blog). How much can you earn from sponsored posts? Typically most bloggers charge upwards $100 to $1000 for each sponsored post. The money you make from sponsored reviews depends on the niche, your site’s authority and competition. Pros:
You’ll get paid without much work involved as most brands give you both content (that contain reviews about their product) and money. You’ll often get paid fully before you even publish sponsored posts on your blog You’ll have full control over what type of sponsored posts to approve and what to decline as you own the blog Often times, when you’re reviewing a paid product, you can ask for a free trial or free copy (most companies would be happy to provide lifetime licences for free)
Cons:
There’s a risk of people losing trust in your brand if you promote mediocre products or services. So make sure to pick informative and high-quality brands that actually help your audience.
8. Sell Banner Ads On Your Website
You can use publishing platforms like Ezoic, Adsterra, Taboola etc to find ways to monetize your banner ads. Or you can also sell banner ads directly from your website by listing all essential things like your website traffic, domain authority etc to attract other brands to place ads on your site. How much can you earn from banner ads? It depends on several factors such as your niche, the authority your website has, the amount of traffic you get and so on. At an average, you can expect to earn $50 and more per banner ad depending on the size. If you’re getting huge traffic, you can even charge $500 to $2000 per month for selling banner ads. Big publications sites like Forbes charge thousands of dollars for showing ads on their site. For example, “Capital One” placed this ad on the Forbes homepage, through an ad network: Useful resources to sell ad space on your website:

Pros:
Unlike display ad networks such as AdSense ads, you can control the “banner ads” showing up on your blog or website. You can also remove them if you find them inappropriate to your target audience. You’ll earn more with banner ads when compared to AdSense If you’re getting enough traffic, you can earn money consistently from banner ads
Cons:
Showing inappropriate ads can kill the user experience and if you’re showing a lot of banner ads on your site, it reduces the overall website page loading times.
9. Make Money by Website Flipping
Website flipping is one of the best ways to make money blogging. Website flipping is where you buy an existing website, improve it, and then sell (or “flip”) it at a higher price. It is similar to the real estate market where people will buy a house, renovate it and sell it for a high profit. How much money do you need to start website flipping? Well, it depends. It can be as cheap as $100. Be ready to pay at least 10x to 20x of a website’s monthly revenue. Let’s say, if you find a website that’s generating $100 a month, you’d need to pay at least $1000 to $2000. The value of a website depends on several things including;
Domain age Backlinks The monthly income it generates The number of visitors it gets in a month Content, design, and more
Obviously, if you find a website with decent earnings with lots of content on it, you’ll need to pay more. Did you know that we sold one of our website on Flippa for around $35,000? Have a look; See that? Flippa is a great platform to buy and sell websites at a great price. Where can you find websites to flip? You can use websites like Flippa to find websites that are making money. If you’re looking for a premium platform like Flippa to purchase expensive websites or domains, you can also check out “Empire Flippers”. You can also use Facebook groups to find inexpensive domains or websites for sale. For instance, there’s a Facebook group called “Flipping Websites” that currently has over 17,000 members. No matter whether you buy a domain or website, just make sure to verify all the things like website owner, email, traffic stats etc before paying any money. Useful resources on domain and website flipping:

Cons:
If you’ve never worked on websites before, you may have a steep learning curve You’ll need to be aware of hidden costs of running a website (if you plan to hold it). Costs such as hosting or outsourcing content, SEO etc can be expensive.
10. Event Blogging
Event blogging is NOT dead. There are a ton of bloggers who start event blogs to earn huge money in a short time. Even blogging is where you pick an event and create content only specific to that event. For instance, you can pick the “New year event” and create a blog, start sharing royalty-free images or stock photos to drive traffic from search engines. You can then use affiliate links or AdSense ads to generate income from your event blog. How much can you earn from even blogging? It depends on the events you choose and the number of blogs you run. Every year, we pay special attention to Black Friday season which comes in November. We regularly generate $10,000 to $15,000 during the Black Friday week. As you can see above, you can earn thousands of dollars from event blogging if you’ve the right strategy. Few helpful resources around event blogging:

Cons:
Event blogs provide you income only during the event (for instance, you can generate Black Friday season affiliate commissions only once a year because the Black Friday week comes only once). The same is the case with other major events like Christmas sales, New Year, and more. There’s huge competition out there. You’ll find event blogs on almost every single topic. To get first page rankings on Google is ONLY possible if you improve your website’s SEO regularly.
