Creation of blogs. How to make money on a blog? The best ways to monetize How to make money blogging

Hi Hi!!! Sanya Borisov, the author of this blog, is in touch with you! I recently received this email:

“Alexander, I read your blog and I have the following question for you. Please tell me how you make money from it, what benefits do you get from the high traffic to your blog? You can describe the chain of receipt of money. Where does it come from? — one person asked me this question quite recently.

I decided to write a whole article about this. Do you know how to make money from a blog? If not, then I advise you to read this article very carefully, especially for Internet beginners.

Now I will not go into all the technical details and specifically explain all the possible ways to make money on your blog or website, of which there are quite a few now, I will only convey to you 3 main methods that will be the most popular for a very, very long time and will always bring webmasters get a lot of profit.

These are the methods:

Don’t be alarmed if you don’t understand anything now and this is a dark forest for you, in fact, all this is much easier than it seems!!! Those who already understand the topic of making money on their website or blog can say that there are more profitable ways to make money, etc.

I don’t argue, maybe there are, but these three are the most popular and profitable for the majority according to statistics, and these are the methods that will bring passive (residual income), that is, you don’t need to sit for 12 hours at your PC and kill your health, of course , at the initial stage you will have to work very hard... Well, you want to earn money in the end...

So to the point. Method one. Earning money from advertising . Now look at what you see on the right side of my blog. Do you see this text ad blog?

Yes. So this is the same advertisement. It works as follows. I have my own blog, I write interesting articles on it and it doesn’t matter what the topic is, whether it’s growing cabbage or carrots or doing business on the Internet. Great! I’m writing and thinking how I can also make money on my blog! I find out about making money by advertising and go to the service Google Adsense and I tell him, “I want to make money on my blog.”

Google says, “Okay, register, your personal account will open, get the HTML code of the ads, paste it into your site and when people click on these ads you will receive money into your adsense account” (usually the cost per click varies from 0.01 to 1 $, although there are mega ads for which they pay $15 per click. Amazing!!!)

Money in Google Adsense is paid in various ways; I personally set the method of receiving it through Russian Post in the settings. You receive a regular electronic transfer, take your passport and go get the money. By the way, you can read my 2 previous articles on the topic of making money on Adsenese.

How to withdraw money from Google Adsense? Important information!

Here's living proof for you. It's now 10:35 am Moscow time, I took a screenshot of my account in Google Adsend:

It's only morning, and I've already earned $0.36 on my blog. By evening I think it should be between $2 and $3! But if you look at the traffic counter of my blog, you can understand that it is still young and rarely visited by 50-70 people a day, and to be honest, I took it seriously only a month ago.

In a year, I plan to bring my blog to 1000-1500 people. per day, which is approximately $70-100 per day on advertising alone, if placed correctly.

Well, imagine that you create your own blog and write 2-3 articles a week on it. Even if you don’t have knowledge of SEO, optimization, promotion, etc., then no matter what your blog will bring you a lot of money in another year, this has already been verified by not a single person!!!

Of course, not only google adsense provides this opportunity - placing advertising on your website or blog, there are many other resources on the network through which you can also make money from advertising - Yandex Direct, Sapa, etc. and so on. The main thing is to want and learn it!!!

Also, some companies themselves contact you and offer to earn money. I wrote about this in more detail in this article - Another trick to making money on a blog

That's it, dear friends. I know some comrades personally who make $200-300 a day from advertising on the Internet. In America, in general, some people earn $10,000 - $50,000 a month from this. So there is something to strive for.

By the way, an important note: all displayed ads will correspond to the theme of your site, that is, if you write articles about cabbage, then ads about cabbage will be shown, if you write about cars, then about cars, respectively...

Without much explanation, let me give you an example. I use hosting services mchost.ru because my blog and all my sites are there. For this service I pay a certain amount, 200-300 rubles per month.

What does Hosting do? He tells me, “Alexander, you like our hosting.” I say, “Yes, super hosting.” He said, “Okay, do you want to make money by collaborating with us?” Well, naturally, I agree, I just ask in advance, “What do I need to do?”

The hosting responds, “Place our banner or a link to our hosting on your website or blog and when people come thanks to you to our resource and use our services, we will pay you a % of the order.” (This is approximately 20-40% of the order). Not bad right?

I gave only one example of making money on an affiliate program, but there are thousands of such affiliate programs on the Internet, you just need to figure out which ones are worth participating in and which ones are not! Well, the last, most profitable way to make money on your blog is, of course, creating your own information product!!!

Creating your own information product is the same as planting a tree once and collecting the fruits for the rest of your life. What is an information product? And this is just some valuable information that can be sold for money. Example - my course How to become a thousand-year-old blogger I created it 1 time and now I will receive money constantly when people buy it.

By the way, it doesn’t matter what kind of information product you make, the main thing is that it is in demand. I now see on the Internet how many different information products appear on the network “How to create a website”, “How to make money on the Internet”, “Photoshop lessons”, “How to get married quickly”, “Lady Online”, “Antikettle”, etc. . and so on. - all these people who created such information products will receive quite a lot of money for the rest of their lives as long as their product is in demand!!! Cool, yes, again, I did it once, but get it many times...

Stop! What does this have to do with an information product and a blog? Well, what does it have to do with it. If you have your blog and it is visited by, for example, 1000 people a day, then if you create your own information product and write an article about it on your blog, then I think the increase in sales will be noticeable!

By the way, not only paid information products can bring you profit, free ones too! I wrote a whole article about this - Well, that’s basically it!!!

I think you took a lot of useful information from this article! For professionals, of course, this is water, but for beginners it’s just VERY VERY valuable information!!! Personally, it took me at least half a year to understand and learn all this!!!

Now you know how to make money on a blog? I wish you success in your earnings!!! Increase your income thanks to such a great opportunity called the INTERNET!!! Oh, by the way, while I was writing the article I already earned more from Adsense:

P.S. How do you like the article? I advise you not to miss information about new free video courses and blog competitions!

Best regards, Alexander Borisov

Hello! In this article we will talk about how bloggers can make money.

How much can you earn: from 3 - 4 thousand rubles per month.
Minimum Requirements: Basic knowledge of SEO and copywriting.
Is it worth it?: Yes .

General information about making money on a blog

Every person who has heard at least something about dreams. But behind this seemingly simple way of earning money hides a lot of work. Let's figure out how a beginner can make money on a blog, how much you can earn per month and what you will need for this.

Working with blogs is easier than with information sites. This is due to the fact that the language of blogs is somewhat simpler. That is, you can write more interesting and lively articles simply by communicating with readers on your own behalf. The blog format also removes unnecessary bureaucracy and officialdom, which can play into the hands of beginners.

In general, making money on a blog is similar to information sites. It’s just that the format of the site and the presentation of material will be different. Otherwise, the only differences are in the amount of earnings and ease of management. In most cases, blogs are easier to maintain, easier to create articles and share something useful. But the earnings on them will also be less than on large information sites.

How much can you earn from a blog?

This is a rather interesting question to which no definite answer can be given. In the initial stages of a blog’s existence, around 5–6 months, you are unlikely to start earning money at all. Especially if you are a beginner. Traffic will be small, search engines will not index all your articles, and readers will not yet know how cool your content is.

Over time, the number of materials will grow, and with them the traffic. This means that the more articles you publish, the more income you will earn. Regardless of how many views each of them gets, the number of visitors will still increase.

Let's try to come to some specific numbers. Of course, it all depends on the topic, but a blog with 1000 visitors per day brings in an average of 4 - 5 thousand per month with and. This is a small figure, but it can be achieved by having 100 average articles or 50 - 60 high-quality articles on your blog.

That is, every thousand unique visitors per day will add 4 - 5 thousand rubles in income per month. This figure is achieved after 50 - 100 articles written.

Who is suitable for making money on a blog?

Generally speaking, almost anyone can make money from a blog. If you don't know how to write, you can pay a copywriter. If there are difficulties with creation, then you can publish the project and pay for the programmer. But for a beginner this option will not be the best.

Just because you don’t know anything and don’t know how, the likelihood of making a mistake will be high. And it’s better to do everything yourself, spending only time on it, and use the money either to obtain information or for the subsequent implementation of other projects in which you will be more experienced.

And therefore, when creating your first blog, remember that you will have to spend from 2 to 6 hours creating, editing and publishing content, as well as collecting semantics and layout of articles. This is quite a lot of work that may or may not pay off. After all, running your own project is a real business, and it doesn’t exist without risks.

It's best to create a blog if you have experience in copywriting or . Either of the two directions will allow you to start faster and avoid beginner mistakes.

How to create your own blog

Now let's move on to the question of how to make a blog and make money from it. To create your own blog, you can use a website builder, CMS, or run it on one of the popular platforms. Let's look at each of the options.

Blogging on one of the popular platforms is the easiest option. You don't need to create, choose a design or worry about anything. You simply register on the service and start publishing posts on your behalf. A few years ago, earning money from livejournal was at the peak of popularity. Now the momentum has slowed down, but there are still quite a lot of useful articles there.

- quite a convenient thing for a beginner. If you don't know how to make websites, but want to create your own, there is no better option. In the designer, you can assemble a design using templates, choose how articles will look, and fill your portal with content immediately after its creation.

Most builders have a free period that you can spend testing the features. The price for one medium-sized blog is 100 - 300 rubles per month. Very democratic. If you add the cost to this, it comes out to about 4-5 thousand rubles per year.

An option for advanced webmasters is to create a blog yourself. The easiest way to do this is in the well-known CMS WordPress. In it, you don’t have to write code from scratch and do what professional programmers usually do. Creating blogs in this service is easy. There are many instructions on this matter on the Internet.

The main advantage of WordPress is that you can create a completely unique design and you won’t have to pay to create a blog. Yes, despite the fact that the fees in the constructors are also small, they still exist. Especially when you consider that at the initial stage you will not receive money for the first six months or a year, you will just have to invest your own funds.

To create your own blog, choose one of three options. The easiest one is a large site, especially if you don’t know where to start. A simple option, but with an additional payment - a designer. The most complex, interesting and profitable option is WordPress. These are all the available options where a beginner can create a blog to make money on it.

How to fill a blog

Creating a blog is just the first step to making money. You need to create unique and useful content that users will read. And if previously competent SEO optimization and unique texts were enough for this, now everything is somewhat different.

Now the CEO is gradually fading into the background. There are more and more articles in the top that rely not only on keywords and their location, but also on the presentation of the material and benefits for the reader. That is why, in order to promote a blog, you need to create useful materials first. And only after that think about optimization.

You need to choose the main topic of the blog. Highly specialized portals attract fewer users, but in such niches there are fewer and more opportunities for creating quality content. Then you need to study the topic as efficiently and deeply as possible: analyze open sources, attract experts, sort information. A regular rewrite won't help here.

In order to properly fill your blog, work on each topic as much as possible, but do not forget about SEO. Keys and basic optimization are still an important metric.

And also don’t forget about the niche. If you choose a topic with high competition, for example, you want to create a blog about making money, then you are much less likely to get to the TOP. If you choose a narrow topic like “leg diseases,” then your chances of winning the competition are much greater.

How can a blogger make money?

Like any website, blogs mainly make money from advertising. If you create your own blog, you can integrate advertising. You can use:

Contextual advertising.
Banners.
Custom articles.
Own information products.

Let's talk about everything in order. Let's start with the two easiest ways to monetize blogs: contextual advertising and banners.

contextual advertising- these are advertising blocks from search engines that you see every day on different sites. They make money when the user clicks on them. The price of such a click can be 5 - 50 rubles. On average, 0.5 - 1% of users click on ads.

Banner advertising These are pop-up windows and advertising inserts in different parts of the pages. These are no longer search engines, but private companies. Working with them, you get paid not for clicks, but for impressions. If users do not have adblock, then he will be able to see them and bring you some money. The cost of 1000 impressions ranges from 15 to 50 rubles, depending on the topic.

If the blog is visited by 1000 unique visitors per day, you can earn from 4 thousand rubles per month on context and banners.

Next in complexity are affiliate programs. They pay you to attract clients. Here you are free to use any advertising materials to get the user to take some action. For beginners, this will be a rather difficult way to make money, because to do it correctly you will have to choose an affiliate program, product and advertising creative. But if you approach this issue wisely, then earnings on affiliate programs can reach 30 - 40 thousand rubles per month.

Custom articles is also one of the ways to work with partners. True, here you are no longer attracting clients, but simply posting an article on your portal for which you are paid. Advertisers come with such offers much less frequently, but on well-promoted blogs they pay from 1 to 2 thousand rubles for one such article.

And the most difficult way to monetize your own blog is to make money from your information product. This is suitable for those who can teach ordinary users something. These could be courses in programming, design, advertising settings, promotion, etc. Anything that may be useful to someone can be monetized and sold your knowledge. This method of making money on your blog is suitable only for specialists in their field.

Please note that it is not that simple. You must know what you are telling your clients. They are paying you real money, so the responsibility of helping them learn is yours.

Greetings, friends!

With the right approach, making money on your own blog is quite possible. The most important thing at the first stage is to properly set up the site so that there are no obstacles to its promotion, concentrate on writing posts and their proper optimization. All this will help you attract visitors. As you know, any traffic can be monetized. There are at least 10 ways to do this.

think in advance about the strategy by which you want to monetize your site (we will talk about ways to make money on the site below);
choose a commercial topic that will bring good profit from advertising;
choose a narrow enough area to fill your niche, but not so narrow that you run out of ideas for posts in a month. You shouldn’t go to the other extreme - choosing an overly competitive niche where there are millions of other similar blogs. If you still choose such a topic, then try to stand out from your competitors in some way and write unique and interesting content that is not yet available on other sites.
Another golden rule is that you should like the topic and be close to your spirit. Only with this approach will blogging not cause you depression and you will not give up blogging too quickly.

How much can a beginner earn on a blog?

Earning money from a blog largely depends on daily traffic and the chosen topic. From my personal experience, I can say that the first few months you have to fill your blog with pure enthusiasm, without expecting a return in monetary terms.

For a young blog (6 months), the income from RTB blocks in YAN is approximately 800-1100 rubles. per month

To start receiving at least some income, you need to have traffic of at least 50-100 people per day. I heard from some bloggers that you have to invest in a blog for free for the first year so that it finally begins to recoup the efforts put into it.

I will share my experience with you. I created this blog in 2015. Having filled it with several articles, I abandoned it after 3 months, since the traffic was not growing at all (there were no more than 30 people per day) and there was practically no income (a few cents were dripping from Google Adsense and some pennies from affiliate programs). And so history repeated itself 2 times. After reading a ton of books on SEO and gaining experience as a copywriter, I realized that I was doing something wrong. The point was that I did not optimize the articles correctly, I chose too competitive queries, as a result they hung far behind the top 100 search engines and brought practically no traffic. In addition, my WordPress blog was poorly configured (due to the use of tags, too many duplicate pages were generated and the site fell under the AGS filter). The lack of results from the invested work gave up completely, but I wanted everything at once. In February 2017, I decided to resume the blog. I had to restore all the articles and sharpen them for other keywords. As a result, traffic immediately began to grow (perhaps it was also due to the fact that the domain left the search engine sandbox, since it was already about 1 year old at that time). I immediately connected Google Adsence so that the blog would not stand idle. In the first month after restoration, the income was about $10 and since then it has been growing every month by an average of 30-40% as traffic increases. After 10 months, the income was $350 in 30 days (about 21,000 rubles). Don't repeat my mistakes and don't waste your time! A blog is a good source of passive income, but it requires playing the long game. I realized this only now, after 2 years of ordeals, trials and experiments :).

How to make money blogging on the Internet: 10 ways

If you don’t know how to make money on your own blog, then I will offer you 10 ready-made options:

Blog or website: which is better for making money?

A blog, unlike a website, is more individual, conducted on behalf of its author, and therefore inspires more trust among readers. There is something intimate and personal in such a presentation of the material, because the author shares his own experience, views on life and opinions. A blogger puts part of his soul into writing each article. Individuality and uniqueness are the main values for readers.

If the author inspires trust and sympathy, and his content is useful and interesting, then visitors will certainly turn into subscribers and regular readers. The blog is optimal for freelancers, politicians, specialists and experts in any narrow professional fields, travelers, information businessmen, creative and public figures, opinion leaders - all those who want to become more recognizable on the Internet, receive an effective tool for attracting clients and an additional source income. On a blog, visitors are much more willing to leave their comments, ask questions to the author, and engage in active discussions.

Websites are devoid of such a component. But they could be better structured. Content can be ordered from copywriters. This option is suitable if you want to create a large project in the form of a traffic site that attracts a large volume of visitors and covers more general topics that do not require expert opinion.

Both versions of Internet projects can be monetized equally.

Where is the best place to blog to make money?

To make money, it is definitely best to place a blog on paid hosting. When choosing free engines, you limit your project’s possibilities for search engine promotion and earnings. To maintain a blog, you can choose any CMS or designer that is convenient for you - umi, wordpress, joomla, wix and others. In my opinion, the WordPress platform is most suitable for bloggers, as it has wide functionality, a simple interface, and endless possibilities for integration with a lot of useful tools.

WordPress - a convenient and simple control panel for blogging for a beginner

When choosing hosting, evaluate your real financial capabilities to pay the monthly subscription fee. Many bloggers abandon their projects because they are unable to pay for hosting. At first, you can choose an inexpensive tariff with a minimum amount of disk space (1GB). After your project grows and starts making a profit, you can move to another hosting. Among the many offers from hosting providers, you can find options with a minimum tariff of 60-80 rubles per month (for example, profitserver).

What blogs can you make money on?

When choosing a niche for blogging, you should definitely find out how suitable it is for monetizing traffic. How can I check this?

Check the cost per click for advertisers in Google Adwords and Yandex.Direct for the keywords that you plan to include in the semantic core of your blog. This is especially important if you want to make money mainly from contextual advertising. The higher the cost per click, the greater the publisher's profit. The easiest way to do this is in Yandex. Direct. Create an account, log into your personal account and go to the “Budget Forecast” section. Select regions, several keywords and click on the “Calculate” button.

In accordance with your target audience (gender, age, interests), think about what products, services and services can be offered to your visitors using CPA networks that offer payment for performing a certain action - application, registration, purchase, payment for an order, click and so on.
If you plan to make money on affiliate programs, then find several suitable offers in advance.

If in your chosen topic the cost per click is minimal (less than 1 ruble), there are no advertisers, there are no suitable affiliate programs, the public is not interested in buying goods, then your only methods of monetization are placement of teaser showcases, clickanders, popunders, banners with payment for impressions, not for clicks. However, you should not expect too high earnings with this approach.

Earning money from affiliate programs: blog for traffic monetization

The choice of affiliate programs should be based on your target audience, their interests and purchasing power, as well as the topic of the blog.

Affiliate programs from pharmacies, medical centers, doctor appointment services, online sports stores, and weight loss programs are suitable for a health blog.
On business-related websites you can post information products, bank offers on loans, deposits, cash management services, investment instruments (Forex, binary options, mutual funds, etc.).
For fashion and beauty blogs, product affiliate programs from well-known brands are suitable.

I think it is important for many of the readers to understand that I have real weight in this direction. So start with my story: “ “. From it you can find out the sequence of my actions, which ultimately made me a successful blogger.

The main advantages of making money on a blog

First of all, I would like to talk about some of the advantages of this.

Let's start with the fact that making money from blogging is, first of all, freedom. Why is that? Yes, because most bloggers write on topics close to their hearts. For us, this kind of work is a hobby. I’m writing an article now, and I like it. I like that after publication they will say to me: “Thank you, you helped me a lot.”
Another important advantage of this “job” is the fact that you are your own boss. Need a day off? Please! Do you want to work at a time that suits you? No problem! Although, this is not a plus for everyone. Some people still lack motivation and self-discipline.
You can make money with a blog from anywhere in the world, as long as you have the Internet.
A blog is a good tool to support a business, for example, to attract customers.
Many freelancers create online diaries to attract clients. I already wrote about this in this article: ““.
Another important point, which for me is the most significant: After some time, on average 2-3 years, every blogger who kept his diary wisely will receive a good one.
You can start a blog without significant financial investments: 200-300 rubles per month for hosting and that’s it.

Who pays bloggers and for what?

My friends often ask me this question. Let me finally tell everyone where the money comes from.

So, first of all, you need to understand that bloggers get paid for advertising. This means that a blog, from the point of view of earning money, is an advertising platform.

All you have to do is register with any advertising network, place advertising materials, and you can start earning income.

5 ways to make money blogging

I think now you will be interested in learning about what types of advertising on blogs there are and which of them are the most profitable.

#1. Partnership programs

I'm sure many have already heard about this. If someone doesn’t, then I’ll explain again: Affiliates are earnings from recommendations.

Let's say I have design lessons. They cost 1500 rubles. If you become my partner and a sale is made based on your recommendation, you will receive a 50% reward.

But how can this be related to blogging? Yes, in the most direct way, because on the blog we share our experience and our results. And if you write an article in which you talk about the benefits of any service or product, then some of your readers, following the recommendation, will also want to place an order and follow your recommendation link. In the end, everyone will be happy: the store will receive the client, the client will benefit from the product, and you will earn a little extra money.

#2. Your own information products

In essence, these are the same affiliate programs, only now you advertise your products and at the same time find new partners who will subsequently advertise you. In order to create a truly valuable product, you need to have some knowledge. For example, a beekeeper's blog could sell video tutorials on how to build a hive, how to properly care for bees, how to properly collect honey, and so on.

Personally, I like this method the most, since in the future I will ultimately receive the most income from it. I write more about my experience in the information business in this article: ““.

#3. contextual advertising

You can observe this phenomenon directly in this article. To earn money this way, you need to: register with any advertising network, for example, GoogleAdsense. And then place the advertising code (you can do this in 2 minutes). Some users will click on advertisements while reading the article. Typically 1-2% of visitors click on it. For every click you will receive money. With an attendance of 1000 people, the average income will be 10 - 12 thousand rubles. We will talk about this in more detail in other articles.

#4. Banner advertising

You can also see it on my blog. For example, in the sidebar. It works as follows: You create positions on your blog where anyone can purchase advertising or you place advertising banners yourself.

Previously, many considered this method to be additional, so to speak, to support the pants. Today, using new special add-ons, you can get no less from banners than from other ways of making money on a blog.

#5. Advertising articles and selling links

These two ways of monetizing a blog are extremely petty and, in fact, you will not earn anything from them. If, of course, the blog is visited by 15 thousand people a day, you can still make money by selling articles. Well, you should generally forget about selling links, firstly, it harms blog promotion, and secondly, it costs pennies.

In general, to make money on these things, you just need to register in special services. You can find sites for selling links on Google, but for selling articles I can recommend Miralinks. Oh yes. This thing works like this: We register on one of the article or link aggregators, then we receive an application, post a link or article on our blog and receive money. Everything is very simple.

Choosing a blog topic

Well, in short, I can say the following: you should definitely devote a sufficient amount of time to choosing a topic. Don't rely on your personal opinion like, "I think people like studying shrimp." Understand that there are billions of people in the world and everyone thinks differently. This means that in order to know for sure whether any topic will be in demand, you need to use special analytical services.

The best option is to choose a topic so that you like it and at the same time, so that it is popular on the Internet. This symbiosis guarantees that you will receive both pleasure and income from the blog.

How to create a blog

Is it possible to make money blogging on the Internet? I have already answered this question: Of course you can! But first you need to understand how this happens, then choose a good topic and, most importantly, create it. We have already completed the first two stages, all that remains is to understand how to create a blog? In fact, everything is very, very simple: just watch a video course and in 2-3 hours you will have your own blog.

TOP 5 reasons preventing you from making money on a blog

There can be many reasons, let's look at them in order.

Reason 1. Laziness

Well, I think there’s no need to explain anything here. Making money on a blog for the first six months, or maybe even a year, is a lot of work. After all, initially you need to get involved in the topic, then understand what and how it works here. Only then, when the blog is already generating the first income, will it be possible to delegate some of the responsibilities and be a little lazy.

From all this we should conclude: if you want a freebie, then you won’t be able to make money on a blog.

Reason 2. Misunderstanding

Oh, how often I see active bloggers who have been writing a new article every day for years. And in the end they receive 200-500 visitors per day. Why is this happening? Do you think they were just unlucky? Not at all, the problem is that just writing articles on free topics that you think other people are interested in is a useless endeavor. Anyone who wants to make money by blogging should know the basic rules of writing articles.

Don't be alarmed, it's easier than it might seem. Remember school or university, where you also had to follow a number of rules when completing some work. Was it difficult? Set aside 2-3 days, understand how it’s done and write articles for yourself.

Reason 3. Haste

How can a beginner make money on a blog? No way 🙁 The first income from the blog, if you follow all the rules, can be expected in six months to a year. And in a couple of years you can reach 50 - 100 thousand rubles, and this is using only contextual advertising. And if you combine all monetization methods correctly, your income can be infinitely large.

Let's take me for example. You can look at the “my business” section. It shows that in the first six months, in general, I managed to earn more than 50,000 rubles. And over the next three months the same amount. This means that I am progressing and there is even more income ahead of me.

Reason 4. Reluctance to learn

You shouldn’t think that you are the smartest and you shouldn’t rely only on your knowledge. The blogosphere does not stand still; search engines periodically update algorithms and add various filters. What could be done yesterday may be prohibited today.

The blog platform, add-ons, audience interests and much more are also updated. This means you always need to be aware of events. Find several sources of new information for yourself. These could be some forums, other blogs, or just news sites. Read them at least periodically. And it’s best to find yourself some smart mentor who will notify you of any changes at the right time. The same goes for updates to blog topics. You need to write not only about old well-worn topics, but also try to write about new events, new technologies and new solutions to old problems.

Reason 5. Greed

I will say this: creating a blog for free yourself to make money is quite possible. Why, “quite”, I did that myself. But the fact is that to achieve a goal faster, and for many of us the goal is to earn money, it will not be enough to just write articles. You also need to spend a little on promotion, design, someone might want to hire a copywriter. Of course, all this is not necessary. But for the best result, you still have to spend money somewhere.

Don't spare money, always improve your blog if necessary. If you really feel sorry for your money, then don’t feel sorry for the money you already received from the blog itself - there will definitely be some. For example, I sometimes feel like one of the car enthusiasts who endlessly loves his swallow. Only in my case, the swallow is a blog. The more you put into it, the better it will perform.

Where can I learn how to make money on a blog?

In paragraph 6.4, I mentioned that in order to achieve success as quickly as possible, you need to find yourself a mentor. Agree, the work will go faster if you are helped by a person who will step by step check the progress of the work, motivate you to take action, help correct mistakes and share a summary of the latest and most important news.

A good mentor is obliged to help: choose a topic, set up all the technical aspects, teach how to write articles correctly and, most importantly, show how to automate all this work.

So, as a more or less experienced blogger, I can give some recommendations.

School of Bloggers

The first is learning from a person who taught me a lot. I won’t say that to everything, but to a lot, that’s for sure. His name is Alexander Borisov. And I wouldn’t have said a word about him if I hadn’t seen the real results of his students and the unreal results of himself. Let me tell you more about him and his school.

In general, A. Borisov is a man who has been running his own blog for 5 years and earns very good money with it. I won’t tell you the numbers, otherwise you won’t believe it. The main thing is that he has enough to live on. About six months ago, he created his own school and called it “School of Bloggers.”

The main goal of the school is to help you create a blog that will be visited by thousands, or even tens of thousands of people a day. And the most important task: to help you make money in this business.

What exactly does the blogger school provide?

First of all, this is not a kindergarten. No one will chase you, and especially no one will do the work for you. They will help you a lot, namely:

Choose the right niche;
Perform all technical settings according to the latest search engine requirements;
Select affiliate programs that will provide the most profit in your area;
They will help you create a blog structure (semantic core) - without this there is absolutely no way, I wrote about it here: “ “;
They will teach you how to write articles correctly and check existing ones;
They will teach you how to properly promote your blog;

I can write a lot more about it, but it’s better for you to look at the description of the school yourself. To do this, just go here. If you still have questions, you can. I will try to answer within one hour, or maybe faster.

Conclusion + Video on the topic

Actually, I told you everything I know about making money on a blog. Perhaps somewhere I went too far with the information, but still I wanted to expand on this topic as much as possible. I am sure that many people had questions while reading the article, you can ask them in the comments, I will try to answer everything. I also want to thank everyone who was able to read the material to the end, and if he was really able to help someone, then you generally made me happy.

Best regards, Sergey Ivanisov.

How much and how to make money on a blog or on several projects? You can receive from mere pennies to hundreds and millions of rubles. It all depends on the demand for the chosen niche, your experience in promotion, the budget you are willing to invest, and the literacy of its use. I have a separate article about how. In this material, we will assume that you already have a visited project and you want to make money on it. Next - about how much and how to receive income from it.

What is blog monetization?

How will they bring in money? For example, you place third-party advertising: you negotiate with the advertiser directly or through advertising networks. In this case, you will earn money on the actions that visitors perform:

look at the ad;
click on it and go to the target site;
register on it;
buy, place an order in the advertiser’s online store;
subscribe to the newsletter, etc.

Exactly what actions you will earn from and what the amount of profit will be is determined initially.

When is the best time to advertise?

Once created, the blog should only grow and develop. The first 3-6 months should be filled with useful articles, high-quality pictures, videos, and comments. Gradually you need to increase your link mass and make announcements on social networks.

If you are still planning to create a blog, but are not confident in your abilities, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with a powerful video course for beginners - “ Cyber Blogger” from Alexander Borisov. With it you will learn how to promote and earn 30,000 - 50,000 rubles from a project. per month. Alexander is a fairly well-known personality among bloggers, I have been following his successes for 5 years now, and he never ceases to amaze with his income. The projects that his students create are works of art, which, moreover, provide their owners with a comfortable life.

After six months, it is acceptable to start monetizing with affiliate programs. For example, an article is written for a specific product in an online store, and a link to this product is included in the text. After purchasing a product from an advertised store, the partner receives a commission.

Banner networks for making money on a blog

The amount of profit from banners varies depending on the topic and the amount of traffic, as is the case with contextual advertising, as well as on the placement location. Receiving 1000 visitors daily, you can earn an average of 3000 rubles per month. You will be paid for people viewing your pages on which banners are placed.

Popular pay-per-impression banner networks:

Rotaban. Minimum attendance is 100 unique visitors per day. You can set restrictions and special conditions for advertisers. They withdraw profits to WebMoney wallets.
AdScape. It differs in that there are more advertisers here. Minimum traffic – 1000 per day, profits are withdrawn to Ya.Money and WebMoney.
BodyClick. Here you can earn money with teasers and banners. The requirements are not strict, so this banner network is suitable for a blog with little traffic. You only need 50 uniques per day to be accepted. At the same time, it will not be possible to make a big profit with such scanty traffic.

+ : Pay for impressions, not clicks.

Teaser networks for webmasters

Teaser networks are used by owners of blogs on women's, news, entertainment and other topics. The audience who clicks on teasers are people who are especially gullible and do not know how to think critically. Teasers are teaser pictures with an attractive title. They quickly catch the eye and make you want to click. Most often, “gray” products are advertised here, such as weight loss products, smoking cessation aids, “magic” ways to instantly get rich, etc.; less often – “white” goods.

Examples of the most popular teasers:

Visitweb. The minimum traffic for accepting the site is 50 uniques per day, the minimum for withdrawal is 15 rubles. A large network that accepts projects of any subject, including adult and doorway projects.
BodyClick. We have already mentioned it above. They buy clicks on teasers from 0.3 rubles. Minimum wage - from 100 rubles. to the conclusion.
Kadam. Here blog owners earn 80% of the cost per click that the advertiser puts in. High-quality sites on paid or free hosting sites from 500 unique sites per day are accepted.

+ : easy installation of blocks, relatively high click-through rate.

– : unpredictable teasers (like adult), which can “tarnish” the blog’s reputation in the eyes of search engines and ordinary users; low cost per click.

We make money by selling courses on a blog

The best way to monetize your brainchild is to create an information product and actively sell it to your subscribers and visitors. However, not everyone can do this. Some people can’t create it, others can’t sell it... However, you can always try to sell other people’s information products and earn your percentage from them. These can be courses, books, webinars, video trainings and other intellectual property. From the point of view of search engines, such monetization is considered “white”.

You can find affiliate programs of information products and make reviews of them, put an affiliate link or banner. An interested client will click, buy, and you will receive a percentage of the sale or a fixed amount.

Where to look for affiliate programs for information products?

Directly in the search engine. Type in Yandex, for example, “Video course on weight loss,” and go according to the results. Find selling sites. At the very bottom, the authors of information products usually put a link to “Partners”, “Affiliate program”, etc., if they prefer to receive sales in this way.
Through affiliate aggregators of information products. I can recommend Justclick service: There are newsletter writers here on a variety of topics, and you can choose any course to advertise on the blog. Partners are provided with links and banners, advertising articles, subscription forms, etc. This is a very old and reliable service, which I also worked with previously and received payments without problems, advertising courses on how to make money on the Internet. You can also collect your own e-mail database through Justclick: this is an asset through which you will subsequently earn money by selling a large number of information products. I have already written more about it.

Monetization by affiliate programs (AP)

They, as a rule, provide several times more opportunities for making money on a blog than contextual advertising, participation in banner and teaser networks.

How to monetize a blog with affiliates:

What products, applications, games, courses or other products might be of interest to the target audience of your project? Ideally, the affiliate program should be relevant to the topic. Nowadays there are a huge number of affiliate programs, so choosing a solution that suits your traffic will not be difficult.
We take promotional materials and put them on the pages. If you are building a subscriber base, you can advertise something to it through a newsletter.
We carry out an analysis: we look at the conversion of visitors, how much profit you make. If it is not enough, we change it to another software or change promotional materials and improve them. We analyze again, improve, and so on until we reach the “ceiling”.

You can insert the same banners from an affiliate program onto your blog, but the profit from them will be greater than when working through banner networks. You can also make expert reviews of products or services in your articles, provide an affiliate link and thus attract a “hot” audience ready to buy. This works better than freestanding banners or widgets. When you test a product yourself and show how good it really is, it increases your credibility and sales conversion.

Affiliates now pay mainly according to the Revenue Share scheme (a percentage of all sales or other targeted actions that the client you referred will perform) or (a fixed cost for a specific action).

How much can you earn as an affiliate from your blog?

You will have to take into account: the product’s compliance with the needs of the target audience, the quality of processing applications in the affiliate program, the quality of promotional materials, behavioral factors, etc.

Let's say the conversion from visitor to buyer is 1%. Then 1 in 100 will take a paid action. Let’s say that an affiliate pays 500 rubles for each sale of a product according to the CPA scheme. Total - every hundredth blog reader will bring 500 rubles.

Keep in mind that conversion may be higher or lower. Remuneration also varies greatly depending on the affiliate program, topic, demand for the product/service, and the uniqueness of the offer. One of the successful review articles with an affiliate link on this blog brings 3000-6000 rubles. per month with traffic to it of 400 uniques for the same time period. I admit: there are many more unsuccessful posts, but I am gradually improving them.

+ : high income, you can choose PP for almost any popular topic.

– : you need to constantly monitor the relevance of links and promotions, optimize conversions; The software company can deceive the webmaster and refuse payments.

Selling your services on a blog

Are you competent in any topic? Most likely, you have a certain education, skills in an area that will be useful to others. If you show expert knowledge in your articles, then a certain percentage of readers will turn to you for help. The main thing is to clearly state what services you provide and how much they will cost.

For example, you are an experienced clinical psychologist. You write informational articles for people who face life difficulties - conflicts in the family, at work, loneliness, etc. When people see that your advice really works, they begin to seek individual advice - offline, on Skype or others ways. That is, a blog is a way to make money on your own knowledge, attracting potential clients with your expertise, arousing their trust and sympathy.

I’ll give you an example of how else you can make money from your own freelance services.

You register on the Kwork freelance exchange as a service seller.
Create your profile, create a quark (this is your service offer worth 500 rubles)
Take part in the exchange’s affiliate program: https://kwork.ru/partner.
Find a banner or ref link to your profile on that page, insert it into your blog somewhere in the sidebar or on the “My Services” page.
The customer sees your offer, registers on the exchange using your affiliate link or banner, tops up his balance and buys a service from you.
You receive 3.5% of every deal you make with a customer. In addition, you can earn income from him, even if he works with other freelancers in the service.

You can directly post your contacts on your blog to make money from clients without intermediaries. However, the good thing about exchanges is that they have arbitrage. You are insured against unpaid money, since it is frozen until the customer accepts your work. If he refuses, the disputes will be resolved through the exchange.

+ : high income, self-realization.

– : This is not passive income, orders may not be permanent.

Blog and business offline

When you have an offline business, a blog can become not only a business card, but also a place to sell any product. Here you can leave contacts and information about the product.

+ : increasing your own popularity, creating a positive reputation through expert articles, attracting clients for free;

– : to ensure an influx of customers, you need to constantly update the content and “feed” them something useful. This, of course, takes time.

Cooperation with advertisers directly

This is a common practice. You find companies that might be interested in advertising on your blog. You agree to place reviews, banners or other content, and make a profit from it.

+ : You can sell advertising space very profitably, and besides, communication contributes to the formation of useful connections.

– : large amounts of time spent searching and communicating with advertisers.

Earning money by selling a blog

Projects are sold for tens, hundreds and even millions of rubles (especially successful ones). If you don't have time to work on your creation, put it up for sale.

Examples of prices on the most famous exchange in RuNet, Telderi:

Website about gadgets: TIC 20, traffic 503 unique per day, 2752 rub. – income from Google Adsense, content – manual rewriting and copy-paste. The cost of such a project is 64,500 rubles.
Summer resident's author's blog: traffic - 53 uniques per day, income is received only from Google Adsense - only 83 rubles. per month, TIC 10. The author is ready to sell it for 5,375 rubles.

You can not only sell blogs, but also buy them, modify and develop them, run your own ads to earn passive income. As you can see, there are a lot of projects on Telderi that their owners are selling due to lack of time for their development.

By the way, at this auction you can ask the price of how much projects with this or that traffic in the niche you are interested in earn.

Growing profits from a blog

Over time, everything becomes more expensive: hosting, domain, copywriter’s work. Therefore, income must necessarily grow. To constantly increase income, from time to time you can experiment with advertising units, their location and design.

It is also better to try new advertising networks that have a higher cost per click. And, of course, in parallel, you need to develop in every possible way in order to earn more: write or buy more content, create groups on social networks. Search engines will see that the resource is constantly growing and will thank you with targeted traffic. Search engines see statistics. In order for there to be traffic, statistics should not show a decline or a stable straight line on the graph - there must be constant growth. Then competitors will not be able to overtake.
