Blogging is one of the best ways online to make money. Many people have quit their jobs because of blogging. There’s even a guy named Ryan Robinson who made $43,297.99 blogging in a month. In his post, How I earned $43,297.99 blogging, he shared detailed ways he makes money from his blog. This article of his shows me you don’t need millions of visitors coming to your website to make money.
There are many ways you can make money with your blog, and this could be through affiliate marketing or allowing ads on your site. For ads, you can work with Adsense, Ezoic, Mediavine, or Cafemedia. Although these ad platforms have different CPM rates, this can affect how much you make. Some people opt into AdSense managers like Mediavine or Ezoic because they usually have the best rates. They can manage your AdSense account and only allow ads that pay the most on your site.
Having a website is very nice because you are in control. You can determine what goes on your site (What to publish and remove). You can even grow it to become a brand in the industry. But many people who are just starting might not have the money to pay for most of the things needed to set up a website, which might keep them put for many years. I will show you some websites you can use to start making money by blogging.
1. BloggingPro
I know you might say you are not a pro just because of the name of the site. But this doesn’t mean they are necessarily looking for pros. On this website, people post jobs. And you could make anywhere from $30 up to $200 per job. You can find a lot of writing job offers to choose from, and if you like what you see, all you can do is apply for the job. Although there are requirements, give them your information and apply for the job. Be honest and tell them you can do the job.
2. Freelance Writing
This platform is one of the finest websites to find blogging jobs. Freelance writing works with companies that need writing help, and they post those requests on their websites for users to apply. It’s easy to get access to these jobs and choose from them. They pay well, and they will tell you what you should do when you apply and get accepted. They are quick to respond to you and will always listen.
3. Fiverr
It’s through there are many ways you can make money with Fiverr; blogging is one of them. You might be surprised, but there are people making thousands of dollars blogging on Fiverr. As a Fiverr freelancer, you can post a job telling people what you can do for them. There are thousands of people looking for bloggers to help them with their articles. And that’s where you come in. You can decide to charge them based on how many words they want you to write. It’s also true that most of the people coming there looking for bloggers like you are looking for quality writers, so make sure you do your research before you write, so that your customers will be happy and always come back to work with you.
4. Medium
This website is also exciting. Medium has been paying its writers for many years, and you can earn too. You can post directly on their platform, and whenever paid readers read your post, you will get a share of the money. Millions of readers come to their platform from search engines or websites. Some of these people subscribe and become a medium-paid member. Whenever these paid members read your post, you’ll get a share of the money. Money earned will be sent to your Stripe account, and then you can transfer it to your bank account.
Things some people do to increase how much they make on Medium.com are:
- Join a Facebook group for medium-paid subscribers.
Yeah, I know. You might want to know if this is legit, but the answer is ‘Yes.’ There are thousands of paid members on Facebook groups that help each other by reading each other’s posts. But the catch is that these readers’ value is low because they are consuming so much content. Heads-up, you might earn little to no money.
- Write trending content
As a blogger, you should know that writing content that interests people or gets their attention is the way to go. When you write an interesting post, Medium curators can add your post to a topic. If it gets curated, you get a better chance of reaching a larger audience and making money.
- Write content that can rank on search engines.
Remember when I said that most people who come to Medium come from search engines and websites? They are ranking, and ranking means traffic. In this post, I already showed you some ways you can make money blogging, and one of those ways is affiliate marketing. It’s cool getting paid from Medium.com when their paid members read your post, but I tell you, some people are making even more money with affiliate programs on this platform. Just make sure you indicate that there are affiliate links on your site so that people will know. Medium tries to comply with the FTC, so they frown if you do not tell them about these links.
