So many Bloggers feel the only way for them to make money Blogging is through Google Adsense whereas there are so many ways aside from Adsense
1. Private ads
Instead of having sleepless nights over the rejection of your application for an Adsense account or the ban of your account, you can sell ad space on your blog directly to advertisers. This way, you’ll take all the money and be in total control.
Linda Ikejiand Paschal Okaforare examples of Nigerian bloggers who make good money from their blogs by selling ad space to advertisers.
However, to attract advertisers to your blog, you need good traffic. No company will advertise on a blog attracting just 100 visitors per day. Businesses advertise on blogs that attract thousands of daily visits and page views.
More importantly, advertisers love targeted traffic. That is, you should have a specific audience. A company selling smartphones and tablets would prefer to advertise on a technology blog, not on an entertainment blog. Why? Because the tech blog’s audience is that company’s target market.
Even after you’ve started generating massive traffic on your blog, advertisers might not come by osmosis, especially if you’re in a competitive niche. So, you might need to contact them, telling them about your blog, your traffic, and the benefits they’ll gain from advertising on the blog.
Constantly looking out for advertisers is the key to making money consistently from ad space selling. However, some blogs are popular enough to attract customers automatically.
2. Sponsored posts and reviews
Instead of advertising directly by having their banners displayed on your blog, some advertisers will request that you write a post about their business, instead. In such post, you will introduce your readers to the business, review their products or services, and discuss how these offers can benefit your readers.
As with display ads, you need huge, targeted traffic to attract advertisers to publish sponsored posts and reviews on your blog.
3. Affiliate marketing
I have already explained affiliate marketing and how it works in one of my previous posts( click here to read it). So, I won’t be defining it here.
Affiliate marketing is one of the most lucrative ways to monetize your blog, especially if you’re targeting a global audience. One good thing about this strategy is, you don’t need tons of visits to make good money from it.
You have the option of either displaying affiliate banner ads on your blog or writing review posts about products that you’re marketing. I prefer the latter option because it helps your readers know more about the products and is more likely to convince them to make a purchase.
Amazonand Commission Junctionare examples of affiliate networks you can register with if you’re targeting a global audience. But if you’re looking for Nigerian affiliate programs, Jumiaand Kongaboth have affiliate programs that pay good commissions.
4. E-books and other digital products
I guess you’re familiar with e-books. I mean, you’ve seen them on many blogs, where they’re either given away for free or put up for sale.
You, too, can make money from your blog by writing an e-book and selling it to your blog readers. If your e-book is on a topic that many people really want to know more about, then it will sell well, and you’ll make good money.
Similarly, you can create other digital products such as videos and podcasts — if you’re more comfortable with those. But for now, e-books sell better and faster than videos and other forms of digital content. The reasons? First, they’re more familiar with e-books. And second, most Nigerians cannot afford to spend the huge data on video downloads.
5. E-courses
If you’re really loaded with stuff that people are yearning to pay you to learn, you can create an e-course rather than an e-book or video. The main difference is that you’ll release the content of an e-course as lessons or modules over a specified period, and you’ll offer to answer questions and give other forms of support that participants might need.
Bloggers make consistent income by repeatedly staging their e-courses after every two or three months. My good friend, Mr Muhammed Abdullahi Tosinof Na ijaWritersCoach.com makes good money using this strategy.
Presently, I’m running my e-course on freelance writing, theWriting Income Masterclass, which started on Monday, August 4, 2014.
6. Consulting
This is for the gurus. If you have years of experience in a particular field and have started a blog to share your knowledge with others, then you can make money by starting a consulting service.
For example, if you’re a serial entrepreneur with many years of experience in the business world and a good number of successful businesses under your belt, you can make money from your blog by rendering your business consulting services to small business owners who are eager to learn how to grow their business.
Mr Ajaero Tony Martins(of Myt opbusinessideas.com and Strate gicbusinessteam.com) makes a killing each month from his blogs by consulting for small business owners in Nigeria and beyond.
7. Paid memberships/ premium content
You can decide to set aside some topnotch information on your blog and turn that into premium content. That is, you charge your readers a certain fee to grant them access to your topnotch content.
