How To Make Money From a Blog [Complete Guide]

For this post I want to discuss specifically about how to make money from blogs.

Because the post is long enough so I strongly recommend that my friends prepare first cup of coffee and snacks so that later not sleepy in the middle of the road.

The reason why I write this post is because I have experience making money from blogs and I want to share the experiences of readers of this blog.

I have known blog since 2010, and have started making money from blogging since early 2013.

Well until now blog that became my main source of income.

Although personally I only graduated junior high school, but Alhamdulillah only with blog income that I get not less than civil servant salary, even much larger.

In addition to me, out there are also many bloggers who have proved successful in blogs.

I'm sure my friends already know it and that's the reason why my friend read this post. Buddy wants to follow in the footsteps of successful bloggers.

Is it possible?

Nothing is impossible. I just graduated from junior high school who can, man too will be because I'm sure my friend is smarter and smarter than me.

But ... there is but ...

Making money from blogs is not a way to get rich quickly

In this world nothing is instant.

Instant noodle is instantly it can not be eaten with the wrapper.

Everything needs a process.

Make money from blogs as well as that, take the process.

As I mentioned above, I know the blog since 2010 but can be done from the blog in early 2013. That means two years away my blog without any results.

Successful bloggers that I know most blogging for years before they finally managed to make a lot of money from their blogs.

Here I just want to emphasize that making money from blogs is not impossible, but not easy at all and not a rich quick way.

Blogging is only for people who have the patience and persistence to learn continuously in order to make their blog as a source of income.

Well, if my friend is one of those people, the friend must read this article further.

Identify two types of bloggers

Before I go any further, you need to know first.

In this world, two types of bloggers. The first type is a blogger whose blog is not for money, and the second type blogger blogging for the money.

Both types of bloggers are both able to make money from blogs, but specifically for bloggers blogging for money is usually the process of making money will be much more difficult. The reason is because there are many new things to learn.

Examples like this:

Blogger blogging not because money usually from the beginning already has good writing skills. While not all bloggers are blogging to write money.

I personally think is an example of early blogger blogging that does not have good writing skills. It took me a long time to write like this. That is one reason why blogging for two years I can not produce anything.

If my friend feels the kind of blogger blogging solely to make money, then know that there are many new things to learn.

Well for my friends who have a hobby blog, I am sure making money from blog is not a difficult thing to do.

5 steps to make money from blogs

Steps to make money from blogs are not complicated, it's just that the process takes patience and high-level persistence.

At least there are five steps that need to be invited friends. The steps are:

1. Define topic and target audience blog


The first step is to determine the topic and also the target readers blog.

Before creating your blog, my friend would already know what topics will be discussed in your blog and also determine the target audience of your blog.

2. Create a blog


After finding the appropriate blog topic, the next step of course start to create a blog.

If my friend is really still learning blogs only, I suggest to create a free blog at blogger.com.

3. Create quality content


Just having a blog is not enough to make money. Then my friends need to fill your blog with quality content.
Without quality content your blog will not be a visitor. Having many blog visitors is one of the keys to a blog's success.

4. Promote your blog


Currently the number of bloggers is very much, which means the competition will be more stringent.

Only with quality content is not enough to be able to get a lot of visitors, my friends also need to promote your blog.

5. Determine the appropriate method of monetization


Well the last is the use of blogs that have been built with difficulty in order to make money.

This process is usually called "blog monetization", or the Indonesian language "monetize blog"

There are so many monetization methods that can be done, my friend should be able to find the right method for your blog because it is not suitable for all monetized blogs in the same way.

Please observe further below.

7 Ways to make money on the most popular blogs

Here is a list of the 7 most popular monetization methods that bloggers often use to make money from their blogs.

Most of the monetization methods have already been done, but there are some that I myself have never tried.

But the obvious monetization method below is a proven method.

1. Advertise


The first is the most popular among the most popular, is to put an ad on the blog.

To monetize your blog with ads there are two paths that you can choose buddy.

The first is to sign up for the Advertising Networks program or the advertising network.

The second is to offer directly to prospective advertisers to advertise on your blog or commonly called Direct Advertising.

Advertising network

Network Advertising or network advertising is a service program that connects advertisers with website owners or blogs.

Well if you want to make money from a program like this, my friend just need to register to the advertising network program, then my friend will be given an ad code that needs to be installed on the blog.

Earned income is usually calculated every time someone clicks on ads on your blog or commonly called PPC (Pay Per Click).

The one of the most popular advertising programs in Indonesia is Google AdSense.

Direct Advertising

Unlike the Advertising Network, Direct Advertising is the method by which my friend offers directly to potential advertisers to advertise on your blog.

The advantages of this method is your blog earnings can be much higher because the ads posted on blogs are not through third party intermediaries.

The price of advertising itself varies, generally in accordance with the number and quality of the end of the blog.

Although friends can get higher results, but that's how you can say it's not easy. The reason is because my friend has to look for potential advertisers who want to advertise on your blog.

2. Paying reviews


Paid reviews or paid posts is a method of monetization where we earn money by reviewing the product or service people through our blog posts.

Basically no difference with Direct Advertising, Direct Advertising only makes a difference if their ads are banner ads, while paying for their ads in the form of a review post.

3. Sell your own product


Selling the product itself is one of the best blog monetization methods that can be done. The reason to sell your own products can earn more friends than using other monetization methods.

If using this method can be spelled out my friend does not make money from your blog directly, because the income from the friend can sell. While the function of blog buddy will manage the same as where to promote products that sell pal.

Products that can be sold through blogs are divided into two types.

Namely physical products and digital products.

For almost any physical product can be sold through blogs. But of course, the products sold should match the topic of your blog.

For example, your blog is talking about birds, bird friends can sell drugs.
For example, your blog talks about motivation, friend motivation can sell books.
For example, your blog talks about gadgets, my friend can sell gadgets.
Etc
As for digital products that can be sold through blogs are usually products such as:

EBook (Electronic Book)
Video
Audio
Software
Theme sites
Plugins
Design drawings
Etc.
Selling your own products through blogs is certainly not an easy thing. The first bean must have a product to sell, both buddy definitely looking for blogs that are targeted visitors to buy a product that sells pal.

4. Sell its own advantages


In addition to the product buddy can also sell services through blogs. The monetization method is perfect for my friends who have expertise that can be distributed over the internet.

Example:

If your design buddy, my friend can provide design services
If my friend writes, my friend can provide article writing service
If my friends are good at creating websites, my friends can provide website development services
Etc.

5. Following the affiliate program


For my friends who do not have their own products to sell or do not have the skills that can be used as services, affiliate programs are other alternatives to choose from.

Affiliates are programs where we help promote other people's products or services and we will earn a commission if we successfully sell this product.

To join affiliate programs like this friend can search for a provider of products or services that provide affiliate programs or can also through the affiliate network.

6. Provide membership program


Program membership is one of the monetization methods I have personally never tried.

However, this monetization method has been proven to provide a reasonable income for many bloggers Indonesia and outside the country that has been proven.

Program membership in the basics is a program that gives you premium content on your blog and premium content can only be accessed at the end who has become a member by paying some money.

7. Sell blog


The latest monetization method is to sell blogs.

So buddy earn money by making blog blog continue to be sold to others.

Almost all of the blog monetization methods above I have tried everything, except membership program.

But for now my main income only comes from Direct Advertising, Selling digital products like Blogger Templates and also provide AdSense JV service.

Cover…

There are many ways you can do to make money from blogs. All the methods I have written above are proven methods.

And believe it or not, in addition to what I have written above, there are many other ways that can be done, from the way Bener up to the wrong way.

For my friends who are just learning to blog, I'm sure the information I've given above just make the loss because too much to choose.

My advice, if a new friend learns blogging, then do not make money as the main focus. Because I'm sure it will not take long for my friends to stop blogging.

Because in the early days more focused to learn blogging first. Although not yielding anything, blogging still has many other benefits. Improve writing skills, become more technologically advanced, and most importantly help others through writing that we create.
