For 5 whole months, he got only 10 visitors. He asked me why he wasn’t getting visitors. I found out from him that he was not marketing it anywhere.

Do you have any digital skills that are highly in demand today? Be it skills like: copy-writing, graphic designing, web developing, and software development. These technical skills are highly in demand now. Having experience in any of these fields is worth having. Almost every month business owners update their online platforms. Hence, the need to look for technical personnel will always be in demand.

So if you have any of these skills, you can offer to work as a freelancer on various platforms. Hey wait, what do you mean by freelancing? Freelancing simple means, working remotely for someone on a contract. There are other freelancers who have been hired to work remotely full time though. But most of the time the work is done on contract bases. Let me just give you a simple example. Let say you are a freelance writer and I want someone to write an article on “personal finance”. So knowing you as a writer, I will hire you on a contract to write article on that heading for me. When the work is done and I paid off, our contract is terminated. I can decide to hire you again to write something new for me if I want to. But that does not mean you are my full time employee, no. You work on contract for me, I pay and case dies.

8. Blogging for Money

While most peoples think that, others just set up a blog to share their ideas. Little did they know that the main aim of most bloggers is to make money online. With all the long articles they publish daily, do you think if there is nothing good in it, they will waste their time just for writing sake? Most bloggers love writing actually as a talent but most of the time, that is not the main goal they had about their blog.

Blogging is a very great field to start making money online as a beginner. But you must be willing to work hard for a long time before deciding to set up a blog. Because blogging is a slow process especially when you know nothing about online marketing. This is the stage most people quit. When they are not getting any traffic from search engines or social media, they end up quitting. But it shouldn’t be that way because, if you work hard on your blog to a growing stage, you can decide to quit your 9-5 job and focus more on it. Why because, it will pay all the bills and also the amount of money you can make from blogging is not limited. That is one thing I love about blogging, the earnings keep increasing every month.

So if you are a beginner and have a passion for writing, then go ahead and start a blog.

blogging and making money

When you work hard to get your blog to a growing stage, you will experience a new joy in your life. I know a lot of full-time blogging millionaires who were very poor in the beginning. But now, they seem to be the happiest peoples. Blogging is a long way, is not a get rich quick business. You need to work hard but definitely not anything that is beyond you, no. In this world, everything is possible for every man. If one man has been able to do it, then why can’t you? Don’t we have the same blood? So don’t let fear overwhelm you and thinks you can’t make it.

When it comes to blogging there are so many ways you can make money with it:

1. Display ads

You can make money in your blog by displaying ads in it. There are so many forms of ads now. Some include pay per click (PPC), pay per impression (PPI), and pay per view time (PPVT). There are other ones there but those are the only one I know of.

  • PPC: means when you display ads on your blog and your visitors click on it you earn a certain cent. With this what the user does with the URL after clicking on it is not your problem.  Your earnings only grow base on the number of ads your visitors will click. There are a lot of companies that have this form of ads, but the most popular one is Google AdSense. There is no number of monthly visitors required before getting your blog approved by Google AdSense. So I do recommend it, especially if your blog is new.
  • PPI: pay per impression is unlike PPC where you only earn when a visitor clicks on ads. With pay per impression, every visitor that browse on your blog will see and ads. Whether he or she clicks on it or not you earn something, once the ads have been shown to him or her. Pay per impression pays much more than PPC. The downside is that getting your blog approved into PPI is the difficult part.  Hence it is not recommended for new blogs because most often you need to get at least 1000 monthly visitors before you will be approved. The most popular and high paying one is mediavine.

  • PPVT: pay per view time is another form of ads that function in a form of videos. Have you ever visited any website and seen a video advertisement that plays automatically? Most of it is a type of PPVT ads. Publishers get paid for it base on the duration their visitors watch this form of ads. Most companies do require a website to have at least 2000 monthly traffic before approval. It pays more than PPC but now I can’t tell the difference between it and PPI. I do hear others saying it pays much more than PPI but others say no. I have actually not given it a try myself so I can’t say much about it. But if you want to get into it the most popular one is Propeller Ads.
2. Selling your Own Product

You don’t have to advertise other people’s products like displaying their ads all the time. You can also sell your own products too. Most people like recommendation from a trusted source. So selling your own product like E-book to your visitors does seems right because, there is a bond between you and them. There are so many products you can create and sell yourself including: E-books, courses, software’s, your blogging swipe files and many more.

3. Affiliate marketing

I explained what is meant by affiliate marketing to you earlier on N0 1 right? You do remember when I said, you don’t always have to own an online business before you can make money with it? Yes, that is true and peoples are making money with affiliate marketing without them having blog or any online business. But what of those with blogs and online business, don’t you think they can also make money with it? They are the ones making the big money. Because for them, they have the audience already on their blogs and people will keep on visiting their pages over and over. But with social media marketing, you have to be posting your affiliate links every day.

So making money through affiliate marketing with a blog seems much easier than those who do not. Because with social media, when you post one affiliate link today. Tomorrow it won’t be there it will get updated. Your link will be there on the site though but, whenever users refresh their page, boom your link will get to the previous page. But with blog, your affiliate link will be on the same exact page for all your visitors who visit that page to click on.

There are so many ways you can make money from your blog. These are the only few I do want to reveal. I will take my time and write a full article about it and show you all the hacks to blogging. So if you want me to send it personally to you, subscribe with your email in the bottom section of this page.

But if you are looking for hosting service to host your blog, then Blue-Host is the right one for you. It is the cheapest WordPress hosting service for blogging and also you will get a free domain name with 30% discount. So don’t go for high hosting services that will cost you a lot, use Blue-Host because its service runs very fast on WordPress.  

9. Sell cloth on E-bay

10. Online sport betting

Unlike the olden days where lotto was the only game, you could bet on. Now, you can bet on sport and even do it online. Whiles I don’t recommend you to get into it as your full-time business. It can be a side hustle sometimes. You can bet on occasional basses, on important matches you have trust on your team. Most peoples lose almost every game in sport because they bet for any team they like. But they sometimes forget that sport is just a game and the table can easily turn aside. You don’t need to put yourself too much into it because the odds will not always be in your favor.

Last year he bought this domain name “nicecups.com” Right now Mr. B a cup distributor needs a website for his cup firm. He has targeted to name it nicecups.com, but unfortunately, he found out that the domain is already taken by Mr. A who is offering it for sale. Mr. B has an interest in this exact domain name because he knows his customers will find his business easily with it. So he decided to purchase it from Mr. A.

14. Establish an online business

Almost everyone wants to own an online business now. Yes, you really need one because working 9-5 under a threatening boss all the time doesn’t seem right. You need to be your own boss, get your business online, and work in the comfort of your home.  There are a lot of advantages in owning a business online. Few things I love about it is, no one will instruct you to do this and that. The earnings are not limited, unlike a daily job where your paycheck will always be the same unless you get an increment. With online business, your earrings will come to a proportion of your hard work.

You can make a lot of money with it, but most people fail at the beginning. They just don’t know that, beginning of everything is the hardest. When your business is online and you have gotten your audience the rest seems to be no work. This is because you will not worry yourself much about advertisement like the beginning.
