You can make money blogging by using a blog as a tool to build up your brand, and then turning that into a professional career. You can also make money blogging by working with brands, businesses and other bloggers in the form of sponsored content (paid posts).
Different people use different approaches to make money blogging. Some people may only want to monetize the traffic they generate through their blog with advertising. Others may want to monetize their blogs by leveraging media partnerships or affiliate marketing relationships. Some bloggers may also turn their blogs into products or services by integrating affiliate links with their blog posts.
There are a few ways you can monetize your blog:
Advertising — This is the most common source of income for most bloggers and it involves selling your ad space to businesses that want to communicate with their customers. From the idea stage, there can be many different ways to monetize advertising on a blog. When you approach an advertising company, they will probably have many different ideas of how they will pay you money. It's best to get an idea of what they would like to do in advance so that you can write down a strategy on how you can work together. Many people can not be bothered to get an advertising company involved. To them, it's a hassle and they would much rather monetize their blog traffic through affiliate sales (see below).
Affiliate Sales — This is the most popular way that bloggers make money by providing links to products in their posts. Affiliate sales come in two forms. The first form is when you feature a product or service on your blog, which then gives you a commission on any sale made through that link. The second method involves using your blog to send visitors to other blogs or sites where they will read content and buy products. You will receive a commission for any purchases made by readers who visit your site from within the other website before making a purchase.
