You have a blog. You enjoy writing about a topic or several topics.

Now some of you may just be happy writing posts but there are also some of you that may want to take your blog to the next level and monetize it to make some Money as well.

I may not be a top earning blogger (yet), however, I have learned about some ways in which to earn money with my blog and I am sharing them with you.

Affiliate Programs: There are so many Affiliate Programs out there today that it can be very confusing for bloggers that want to monetize their website. I continue to learn about new affiliate programs and do a little bit of research before I just go ahead and join them. I would prefer to not use too many different affiliate programs and just stick to a couple that work for me and my blog.

Here are a few affiliate programs I have/or currently used: Skimlinks, VigLinks, Linkshare, Pepperjam and ShareASale.

Paid/Sponsored Posts: Sometimes a company will approach you to do a paid or sponsored post. They will agree on a price for you to write a post and usually to promote the post on your social media as well.

Digital Downloads: If you’re creative you can create booklets, eBooks and other digital downloads and have your visitors pay to access them. There are websites that can host these and take care of the whole transaction for you. If you promote them enough you can basically sell them in your sleep.

Courses: If you have a skill or information that you believe you can teach others some bloggers also offer courses. You can offer teaching videos via special access. Some bloggers offer one course that people have access to. Others offer a series that goes on for a couple of days and is broken up into small chunks of information.
