Advertisement
Google Advertising platform is a universal solution that everyone follows nowadays. We have selected Google Ads is our first approach to generate revenue from existing traffic. Publishers can place the advertisements in different parts of the site, and the sizes are 160×600, 468×60, 336×280, 300×250, and 728×90.
The AdSense platform is sophisticated; in our opinion; you don’t have to worry about technical complications. It would help if you had a piece of code from the dashboard and then place it in the sidebar, in the post, pages, header, and footer.
Publishers don’t have to stick together with the Google Ads platform and move to Yahoo and Bing. Overall, it is your ultimate decision because there are plenty of alternatives available in the market that can get the job done. You have to conduct your research before proceeding because Ad Networks have different payout systems.
Affiliate
Commission-based revenue is a common practice to monetize the blog. Companies are willing to pay a certain amount of commission for sales. You have to promote a product or service through your blog, and the companies will pay you a commission based on the sale value.
How does it work?
- Sign-up with the network.
- The affiliate network will provide a unique sale link for your website.
- Copy and paste the link in your blog post, where you can add the “Buy Now” or “Download” buttons.
When visitors land on your post and are encouraged to purchase the product or service, then you will receive a commission once the goods are delivered. Amazon Affiliate is a popular choice, and our clients have generated over $5 million in revenues. Of course, we suggest the readers dig deeper into the affiliate subject because it is an art to drive traffic, and convince readers to purchase them
Sponsored Posts
If you have great content on the blog and a decent amount of traffic, then you are guaranteed to receive sponsored posts offers. Publishers can demand anywhere from $50 – $500 on sponsored posts. The number of opportunities increases significantly if you have engaging content, consistent traffic, and overall growth of the brand.
- Blogs that have over 10,000 unique visitors per month generate anywhere from $200 – $500 on average per month.
- You can generate $1000 – $10,000 on a monthly basis considering 50, 0000 – 100,000 high-amount of traffic.
Site administrators have to consider the Quality, Genuine, Brand, and Worth of the product into the account. Do not accept low-quality content, backlinks, products, and others for a few dollars because it can rip you apart in the long term. We love sponsored posts, but only when it meets our criteria that is safe and recommendable for readers. Never recommend a product or service that you don’t use personally.
Sell!
We have quoted “There is a difference between a money-making blog and a blog” for a reason. If your blog has over 10,000 unique visitors every month, then the minimum 3% of them might end up paying you $100’s of dollars.
We implore the blog owners to sell products or services only to reap maximum profits. Let us assume that you are providing Photo Editing, Video Editing, and Content Creation services to the world. If your services start from $1000 per month, then you are making $3000 per month from three clients.
- Serve high-quality products or services only. We would never sell or recommend products that we won’t use in our life.
- After-sales should be practical and responsive.
- Maintain a long-term relationship with customers.
- Aim for the long-term.
- Always provide services & products that require the customers to come back to you. For instance, I am selling 1-year Web Hosting to customers, and then they have to pay next year for renewal.
Finding new customers every single day is complicated to process, so we recommend choosing a product or service that requires customers to come back for more.
Work on SEO strategy and drive thousands of unique traffic on the blog. Start selling your products and services to the world to reap maximum profits. We have mentioned “Affiliate” in the earlier, which offers a percentage of sales, and you don’t have to depend on it anymore.
