How to Make Money with Your Blog in 2019

One of the most common ways bloggers make money is through placing ads on their site.

Perhaps the most popular network for placing these types of ads is Google AdSense.

Working with advertising networks isn’t your only option when it comes to selling ads.

If you end up with enough traffic, advertisers may come directly to you and ask you to place their ad on your site.

Use it as a Content Marketing Tool for Your Business

In 2002 I began to blog one day on impulse after seeing another blog and being fascinated by the medium.

I had no idea at the time that what I was doing would ultimately lead to a complete change in my career path and end up being something I’d make a full time income from in several years later.

I had no experience or profile in the online space, no technical ability and while I had done some public speaking had done very little in the way of communicating through the written word.

I did not make any money from my first blogs for almost 18 months (I didn’t even know you could so did not try) and when I did start to try to make money from them the first income was just a few dollars a week – but gradually in time my income grew from a part time income to a full time income and then beyond.

I’m often asked how to make money blogging so want in this article to lay out some basic steps that I see most bloggers who make a living from blogging go through.

Here is how to make money from a blog:

Set up your blog
Start creating useful content
Get off your blog and start finding readers
Build engagement with the readers that come
Start making money from the readership you have through one or more of a variety of income streams

In order to make money blogging you’re going to need to have a blog. While this is pretty obvious it is also a stumbling block for many PreBloggers who come to the idea of blogging with little or no technical background.
