The best way to make money from your blog and website | RevGlue

The key foundations of having a money making blog is to have great content, have an approach to finding readers and then build engagement with those readers.

Once you have great content then that means that your blog will be crawled by the search engines meaning that you become more visible. As your following increases then your blog has the ability to influence purchasing decisions so if you start reviewing products or services then readers will want to find those products to buy.

With these foundations in place then there are two different income streams that you could use – advertising and affiliate marketing. But you need to be aware that just because you have set up your blog, have content and have engaged readers that the money won’t just automatically flow. It takes continued work and experimentation to make money from your blog.

 

1. Advertising Income

This is where many bloggers start – as a digital equivalent to how a magazine or newspaper sells ads. As your traffic and brand grows you’ll find advertisers will be willing to pay to get exposure to your audience.

While you need high traffic levels to do a direct deal with an advertisers there are ad networks (like Google AdSense) that act as a middleman and enable smaller publishers to run ads on their blogs.

There are two popular types of ads:

1 - CPC/PPC Ads: Cost per click (also called pay per click) ads are usually banners that you place in your content or sidebar. Each time a reader clicks on the ad, you are paid for that click.

2- CPM Ads: CPM Ads, or “cost per 1,000 impressions,” are ads that pay you a fixed amount of money based on how many people view your ad.

When using Google AdSense you do not need to be in direct contact with advertisers; you simply place the banner on your site, Google chooses ads relevant to your content, and your viewers click on the ads. AdSense is CPM based and rates can be quite low – typically only £5 per thousand views.

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, where you can set your own ad rates.

Selling private ads can come in the form of banners, buttons, or links. You can even make money writing sponsored posts where you write about or give a review of an advertiser’s product or service. The charging basis varies - you might charge a one-time fee for a link within a post, whereas If you are hosting banner ads, you might charge your partner monthly. Another opportunity with private ads is to sell sponsorship space in your email newsletters and podcasts.

Whilst private advertising can generate income it is a lot of effort to find, manage and retain those sponsors – which means that the effort can far outweigh the gains.

 

2. Affiliate Income

Many bloggers quickly get tired of the advertising route and turn to affiliate marketing instead.  As this is a Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) model then by linking to a product on a retailers site then when someone follows the link from your blog and ends up buying that product then you earn a commission on that sale.

There are several ways that you can support affiliate marketing:

Create links with your blog copy offering a dynamic link building mechanism that has the ability to read blog keywords and links and converts them into paid links.

Publish ads on your blog site that contain links to the retailer products which can be dynamic text ads, banner ads or even product ads.

Embed a third party service into the blog which could be based on discount coupons, mobile comparison or product feeds website in minutes.
