How to Make Money From Your Blog
If one of the driving factors for starting a blog was to make money
online, then this is the article you've been expecting. For those
who're full time workers, earning money from your blog is a great way
to generate side income.
Now that you’ve learned how to create your own blog in wordpress and blogger platform, create great con-tent and promote your blog, you are ready to start with monetization.
Monetization misconceptions
First, let me  clear up a few misconceptions you may have heard about blog monetization.
Passive income is the way to go so you can earn money
while you're offline or asleep.
This isn’t entirely false, but it’s not as simple as it sounds either.
Bloggers who are well known for their passive income generation did
not just start their blog one day and earn lots of money in their sleep.
Also,Like any other income source, passive income requires a good
bit of hard work in the beginning to set up. But if you do it right i
always available to  coach you, how you can start earning money, even while away from your Desktop or Laptop computer.
Income reports can show you the path to earning top revenue
Income reports are monthly blog posts written by bloggers who
make money online, showing you exactly how much they earned through-
out the month and how they did it.
Be on the lookout for misleading income reports—those that only show you how much a blogger makes, but not how much they spend. Many
bloggers invest a lot of money on their blog every month in order to
earn revenue, but some conveniently leave that fact out in their in-
come reports, making it look like they are earning piles of free money.
When you draft your own monetization plan, you’ll need to keep
some expenses in mind. These include your web hosting, email mar-
keting software, search and social media tools, mastermind memberships and online advertising.
Wait to monetize until  you grow an audience
This is sometimes not true. Although you can only utilize certain monetization
strategies with a budding audience, you shouldn’t get your readers
used to an advertisement-free blog, then spring into monetization
mode as soon as you hit a certain number of visitors. This might sur-
prise and put off your original readership.
By putting some monetization strategies in place at the very be-
ginning, you will have the chance to earn a little money from the be-
ginning while letting your audience know exactly what they are going to
get. Sure, you can add or subtract monetization methods as an ongoing
process to test which ones earn the most revenue, but don’t feel like you
have to wait to start.
Now that i’ve vividly explain few misconceptions about making
money through blogging, let’s look at how you can now  make money blogging.
Preparing to monetize
Before you start monetizing, there’s one basic thing you need to do
to ensure your current and future monetization success: start building an email list.
it is absolutely essential if you want to earn money in the world of blogging .
The reason is explain below:
1. If you start to capture email addresses at the start
of your blog, you will have the chance to retain
your first visitors as lifelong readers. No one has to
know if initially there’s only one subscriber on your
mailing list.
2. Before you have monetization strategies that
need email promotion, you can use your email
list to drive traffic to your blog by promoting your
content.Your email list subscribers are yours. You can’t
save contact information about fans of your
page or followers on your Twitter account. Your
email list, on the other hand, is exportable. So if
3.your email marketing provider decides to shut
down, you take your list and move it elsewhere as
opposed to losing it completely.

4.Your email list subscribers are more likely to see
your email messages than social media updates.
Facebook reach is slim, as are other networks,
since most people are following hundreds of other
people and businesses. Getting in someone’s inbox
means that they will at least see your name on
a regular basis, regardless of whether they open
that email. And when they do open that email, you
have their undivided attention.
5. When you start utilizing monetization strategies
such as email list sponsorships, affiliate marketing
or selling your own products, you’ll already have
a loyal audience that is used to receiving and
consuming your emails. This is much better than
starting a list and selling to your subscribers right
away.
Fortunately, email marketing does not have to cost you before you start generating revenue. MailChimp or feedburner allows you to have Lots of  subscribers and send masses emails per month  for free. It’s a great option for those who need to start a email list, but don’t have the budget until they start earning revenue.
Now here comes the below subtitle;
Monetization strategies
for new blogs
If you have a relatively new blog, or one that doesn’t receive a lot
of traffic, then the following are monetization strategies you can put
into place to start the revenue-generation process.
1. Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing allows you to generate income by promoting
other people’s products for a small commission. This is probably the
easiest monetization method to get into at the start because you can
apply to most programs with little to no audience. All you need is
a blog or website.
If you have a blog about gardening, then you should apply to affiliate programs for gardening books and products. Amazon Associates is a great affiliate program to join for any niche as  they sell books and products related to what you need.

2. Google AdSense:
so many people have the believe that your blog must be 6months old before  you can apply for adsense hmmmm but today, am going to show you cool way to do that without reaching that .So let's begin with the Adsense stuff and earn cool cash.
Once you have created a certain amount of content for your blog,
let’s say 15 to 20  blog posts, you can apply for Google AdSense.
Google AdSense allows publishers to generate income from advertisers
who want to place ads on the Google Network. Once you sign up and
get approved, you will be able to customize ad slots for links, banners,
images and video, and place the Google AdSense code for each of
these ad slots onto your website. After 1hour or 2hours, Google will
begin to match the best ads to your website.
The key to Google AdSense is to follow the guidelines and know
where to place your ads for the best results. You can experiment
with ad placement in your blog’s sidebar, below the title of every of your
blog posts, in your blog’s header and other areas. Google even offers
some example site layouts that will help you get the most clicks for
your ads when you register view blogger earning tab,or youtube e.t.c.
Always  keep in mind: If you are making
good money through affiliate marketing or selling your own products
and services, the last thing you want is to encourage someone to
leave your website by clicking on an ad. Once you start making better
income through other monetization strategies, you may likely removing Google AdSense. 
Selling ads space.
Depending on your niche, you can as well earn money by  selling ad space
directly to advertisers once you get a certain traffic volume. You can
manually manage ads on your blog or use platforms like BuySellAds
that can help you sell and manage ads through their platform. It’s
an easy process, you simply place a HTML or JAVASCRIPT  code on your website
where you want particular ad sizes and types to be displayed. It’s also
a great platform to use in researching your traffic volume versus how much you can charge for ads.This  monetization strategy in particular,  has the potential to generate
continually increasing amounts of revenue based on your ability to
drive more traffic to your blog. Be sure to create an advertising page
on your blog and update your metrics (traffic, social audience, email
list subscribers etc.) regularly so you can increase your ad pricing on
a monthly basis.
Selling your own products or services
If you have a loyal followers or subscribers, then you don’t need a large audience
to start selling products or services. All you need is to be able to answer the following questions.
Do people ask me for web counselling or help?
What do people ask me for niche couselling or help?
The first question will help you determine if there’s a paying market
for a product or service you can provide.
The second question will
help you determine what that product or service is.
Here are a few some examples to check on:
i. People regularly ask you how you customized
your WordPress theme’s  or Blogger template functionality or design,
and want you to do the same for their blog. You
can take this as a sign that you need to create
an information product on ways to customize WordPress and Blogger  themes
or offer a service where you will customize
WordPress  and Blogger themes.
ii. People flood you with requests for prints of your
photography. This is an opportunity to open an
online store to sell your photography.
iii. People regularly ask you to write content for their
business. You can take this as a sign that you need
to offer freelance writing/copywriting services.
iv. People want to know how you market your blog
and want to “pick your brain” about it on a by giving you a
phone call. This as a sign that you need to offer consulting services.
If you pay attention to what people ask you for most often, you’ll
likely discover a great product or service you can offer. Because for
every person who asks you about something, there are probably a
dozen others who would likely need same thing.
Always stay bless as i do my best to keep you updated.
