Most people who start a blog do it to earn decent money in their blogging journey. In this guide, I will show you 15 proven ways to monetize a blog and make decent money rather than pennies.
But let’s not despair. You can still start businesses with almost no money to make good profits.
I will also help you decide which monetization method works for your blog.
Some of these monetization methods don’t require too much traffic to make a decent profit. With a pretty new blog, you can make a couple hundred dollars by selling advertising or offering sponsored content. In contrast, you can make thousands with an established one by providing online courses or affiliate marketing.
Oh, You don’t have a blog yet?
Here, I show you step-by-step instructions on how to start a successful money-making blog. Read that guide before proceeding any further with this one. Or you can also try some of these monetization methods, like writing and selling an ebook or offering paid consultations with a Facebook group or a Youtube channel.

Affiliate Marketing
Generating income through affiliate marketing is when you earn a commission by promoting someone else’s products on your site and generating sales for them.
It’s similar to advertising because it’s a passive income stream, and you don’t have to produce goods or services, but unlike advertising, you only get the income if your affiliate makes a sale.
Don’t know much about affiliate marketing? No problem. We have you covered. Check our affiliate marketing for beginners’ complete guide.
Also, here is a list of 65+ affiliate marketing high-paying programs that can inspire you. You should know enough about affiliate marketing, so check the best 21 affiliate marketing networks you can signup for.
Affiliate Marketing PROs
- High revenue if you do it right.
- You can outsource most of the work.
- It requires a low upfront investment.
- You can use it along with other monetization methods.
Affiliate Marketing CONs
- You have to spend a lot of time on research and testing.
- There is much work involved.
- You don’t have control of the products.
- No guaranteed returns.
Though high-traffic websites are more likely to earn money through an affiliate program, affiliate income can be more profitable for a blog as it’s building traffic than advertising income because it doesn’t rely strictly on site-view numbers.
The Amazon Affiliate Program
Amazon’s affiliate program is the best-known and is likely the best place to start. It’s easy to sign up for, and the site has a vast array of products for sale that you’ll likely find something related to your niche.Though you can treat affiliate links like advertising and make them a passive element of your page, affiliate products are more likely to sell if you review or promote them with an actual post.
Endorse products that you believe will help your readers if you want to maintain their trust and loyalty. You should also ensure that the product connects logically to your chosen niche.
There are several ways you can advertise Amazon products to your audience:
- Write extensive reviews about the products. Example: Review of the KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series.
- Create a shop with recommended products and redirect users to Amazon for purchase. Example: Love and Lemons Shop.
How much can I make with affiliate marketing?
This depends significantly on the traffic and the readers’ trust you get. Also, the niche and how you promote the products significantly impact your earnings. Affiliate marketing accounts for approximately 15 percent of the digital media industry’s revenue, according to research published by Business insider. A blog with 10K monthly visitors in digital marketing or blogging niche can make between $500 to $2500 without ads.
How to start monetizing your blog with affiliate marketing?
First, you should analyze your audience to understand their purchasing behavior, problems, and what products can solve them. Then, join an affiliate program or network like Amazon Associates, ShareASale, or Impact.
Look at the products, the affiliate commission, payment terms, and how well it performs, and choose the best for your audience. Ensure the affiliate marketing theme you are using is optimized for conversions. You can post the link directly and the banner on your blog or write a blog post or a review to introduce them to your readers. Don’t forget to read the FTC rules regarding affiliate marketing.

CPA Marketing
The term CPA stands for Cost Per Action. It’s also called Pay Per Lead, in short PPL. CPA marketing is relatively easier than selling products.
The main difference between CPA marketing and affiliate marketing is that you don’t have to generate a sale to get money in CPA. You can get paid for generation actions like submitting an email address, filling up a form, downloading an app, submitting a pin code, submitting a mobile number, or getting a sale.
People are more likely to get free products than spend their earned money. Thus driving your traffic to a particular task can lead you to money. Generally, you can make $0.50 – $50 per CPA offer. The high-paying niches like payday loans, investments, or gambling can generate even more than this.
CPA Marketing PROs
- Work best for readers that don’t spend money
- Low upfront investment is needed.
- Lower work involvement.
- You can use it along with other monetization methods.
CPA Marketing CONs
- There is a learning curve for getting good results.
- Spend enough time on research.
- Some offers have very restrictive rules (traffic source, country, advertising, etc.)
- No guaranteed returns
Don’t know much about CPA marketing? Check our complete CPA marketing guide for beginners, or take a CPA marketing course to give you a full road map on monetizing your blog.
How much can I make with CPA marketing?
This depends significantly on the traffic and the readers’ trust you get. Also, the niche and how you promote the offers have a massive impact on your earnings. A blog with 10K monthly visitors in the financial niche can make between $500 to $1500 with CPA marketing without any advertising spending.
How to start monetizing your blog with CPA marketing?
First, you should analyze your audience to understand their purchasing behavior, problems, and what products can solve them. Then join a CPA network like MyLead, Gambling. Pro, etc.
Look at the offers, commissions, and, most importantly, their restriction of promotions (source of traffic, promotional methods approved) and choose the best for your audience. You can post the offer link directly on your blog or write a blog post to introduce it to your readers.

Sell Sponsored Posts
Native Advertising is a rapidly growing strategy. It builds trust and rapport with readers before they discover they’re selling to you.
Sponsored posts are used mainly by companies that want to show their products or services to your audience. These companies are interested in placing advertorials on your blog, especially if you have enough traffic and appealing SEO metrics. Remember that the FTC cracks down on marketing products and services, including articles sponsored when passed off as organic. Google also cares acutely about sponsored links and will penalize you if you sell and punish the site you’re linking to.
Sponsored Posts PROs
- Easy money for bloggers.
- It works well even for blogs with low traffic.
- It works in almost all niches.
- You have editorial control of the content.
- You can use it along with other monetization methods.
Sponsored Posts CONs
- They can get a Google penalty if they don’t follow their rules.
- It may annoy your readers and make them leave.
- Smaller earnings if you don’t have attractive SEO metrics or high traffic.
How much can I make selling Sponsored posts?
There isn’t a fixed price on how much you should ask to add a sponsored post to your blog. For comparison, a blog with a DA35 that gets 10K monthly visitors in the financial niche can ask up to $250 for a sponsored post, but most companies will offer between $80 and $150. You can easily make up to 2,5K monthly by offering sponsored posts.
How to start monetizing my blog with sponsored posts?
The first step is to design your write for us page to add details about what kind of posts you accept. (Examples: Write for DailyMoneySaving, Write for Outreach. Buzz). Remember that you can’t place too many sponsored posts without hitting your readership. I suggest having at least 4-5 non-promotional posts for each sponsored post you add to your blog.
There are several marketplaces where you can list your blog and sponsored articles, but I recommend our Outreach. Buzz as is Google-friendly, and you don’t risk being penalized.
Sell services in your niche
As a blogger, you can easily offer services to your audience. You can do content writing (you are a blogger, after all, aren’t you?), digital marketing, or other niche-specific services. For instance, Monetize.info offers competitive intelligence, SEO, affiliate marketing, and website monetization services.
Offering your services PROs
- Easy money for bloggers.
- You will bank on your reputation and expertise.
- You can use it along with other monetization methods.
Offering your services CONs
- It would help if you spent time creating the offer, adding case studies, etc.
- It may need an advertising budget to get your 1st clients.
- You’ll not make much if you don’t have a solid reputation.
- Can’t scale it easily
How much can I make offering services?
Estimating how much you can make by selling services is difficult. It depends greatly on your expertise, reputation, audience, and services.
How to start offering services on my blog?
Make sure you’re good at what you’re doing first. Then it would help if you spent some time researching and putting together the services you will offer your readers. Create a services page where you explain what you’re doing, your past customers, and your achievements. Outline the customer’s benefits and start advertising the page to your readers.
Selling paid consultations
While it seems like coaching services are infiltrating every aspect of the market, selling coaching services through your blog can be a lucrative prospect. Supplement your content with one-on-one coaching sessions as you build authority and share knowledge with your readership.
Offering paid consultations PROs
- Easy money for bloggers.
- You will bank on your reputation and expertise.
- You can use it along with other monetization methods.
Offering paid consultations CONs.
- It would help if you spent time creating the offer, adding case studies, etc.
- You’ll not make much if you don’t have substantial expertise.
- It’s not easy to scale up as you sell your time.
Here is an article showing how to turn free consultations into paying customers. Whether you set yourself up as a life coach, career coach, or business development coach, you can earn a significant income through just a handful of clients.
I recommend checking into Clarity.fm.
Clarity is the marketplace to get one-on-one expert advice on various business topics. The site was established in 2012 by Dan Martell and now boasts more than 30,000 experts and facilitates more than 12,000 consulting calls every month.
You can start your $100 an hour consulting business in less than 30 minutes.
How much can I make by offering paid consultations?
Again it isn’t easy to estimate how much you can make by offering paid consultations. It depends greatly on the expertise, reputation, audience, and services you offer. A certified YouTube growing consultant, Tim Schmoyer, asks for $597 per coaching session.
How to start offering paid consultations on my blog?
Make sure you’re good at what you’re doing first. Decide on several packages, and do your best to address any objections upfront. Create a paid consultation page where you explain what you’re doing, your past customers, and your achievements. Outline the customer’s benefits, then start advertising the page to your audience.
Also, check Clarity. fm, a service where people look for consultants on various topics like Digital Marketing, Finance, etc.
Start Reviewing Products and Services
You should supplement your income with product reviews as you build authority and share knowledge with your readership. You may review physical products, online services, digital products, books, SaaSes, etc.
There are two ways you can monetize reviews. You may sign up to the product seller’s affiliate program if they have one, or you can get paid by the seller to review their products for your audience.
Writing Reviews PROs
- Easy money for bloggers.
- You will bank on your reputation and expertise.
- You can use it along with other monetization methods.
Writing Reviews CONs
- It would help if you spent time creating the offer, adding case studies, etc.
- You’ll not make much if you don’t have substantial expertise.
- It’s not easy to scale up as you sell your time.
It’s mandatory to keep your reputation intact when doing reviews. So you should outline the not-so-good aspects of the product as well. You may think that if you make the product look fantastic to the audience, you will sell more, but being fair will give your readers the trust to purchase the product.
Here are several reviews we’ve done: SEMrush review, Gambling.PRO review, SEO Power Suite
How much can I make writing reviews?
If you decide to charge the seller a fee instead of signing up to their affiliate program, you can easily make between $250 up to $1000. For example, Matthew Woodward, who charges close to $1000 for a sponsored review, clearly points out that a paid review doesn’t mean a good review on his advertising page.
How to start making money by writing reviews on my blog?
You should look into affiliate marketing for tips if you review products for commissions. Signup for an affiliate marketing network or an affiliate program, write the review, and work your SEO to get visitors. On the other hand, to get paid for reviews, you should look for companies that want you to run an article about their product. They’ll usually give you free access, and you can give your honest opinion.
Further readings to monetize your blog through writing reviews:
Apply to Google AdSense
The most prominent ad network for blogs and other websites is Google AdSense. It’s one that many new bloggers turn to because it has an open acceptance policy regarding different niches and traffic levels.
Of course, a smaller blog will make less money than a high-traffic site, and some ad formats are only available to people with higher viewership counts. I recommend playing with the auto-ads functionality, which tests your blog’s multiple ad locations and ad formats to ensure better earnings.
However, the earnings are not great. For a blog with 500 views daily, I could make up to 3 pounds daily but with huge earning fluctuations, as you can see in the screenshot below. I recommend disabling Adsense on blogs you can monetize with affiliate marketing, selling products, or sponsorship posts. That’s because you will annoy your users for a buck or two.
AdSense PROs
- Easy to signup and place ad codes on your website.
- They have ads for most of the niches and traffic sources.
- No minimum traffic is required.
AdSense CONs
- The earning rates are terrible.
- The adblockers suppress Adsense by default.
- You need good traffic figures to make decent money.
- The support is lacking.
- They may close your account for policy violations.
AdSense is easy to use in comparison to most ad networks. Of course, the flip side of this ease is that Google takes a cut of the advertiser’s money as a commission for providing the ad service—about 32% of what the advertiser pays per click goes straight to Google.
How much can I make with Google Adsense?
Because it’s so easy to use (and generates a lot of income in the right circumstances), Google AdSense is often the way to go if you have around 30,000 page views per month and are just starting to work with advertising as an income stream.
The amount you can make using Google AdSense varies depending on the size and style of ad you use, your blog’s niche, and how much traffic you get.
How to start making money with Adsense on my blog?
Check the acceptance guidelines of Google Adsense first and ensure you comply, then signup here. The next step is to add your websites to the system, and after acceptance, you can get the banner codes and place them on your website.
Look into other advertising networks
Many other ad networks are available for bloggers, most of which will ask for higher minimum traffic than Google AdSense. Some are highly selective. Some don’t require a minimum traffic number, making them most useful for new bloggers.
Advertising networks PROs
- Most of them offer higher pay rates than Adsense.
- They will work with you to improve your site and rankings.
- The support is better.
Advertising networks CONs
- Some have more demanding acceptance conditions (traffic, content quality).
- Some ads may be intrusive or have low quality.
- There are advertising networks that want the exclusivity of your advertising spaces.
Do some research before signing up with a new ad network. Check out sites that use it to see how it shows up on their pages, and if you can talk to other bloggers about their experience with the site, that’s even better.
Remember that the more exclusive ad networks have limited access for a reason. Their advertisers are likely to pay more in exchange for a guarantee of higher viewership. As your traffic grows, considering better ad networks could be an excellent way to increase your profit.
A word about native advertising
I encourage you to look into native advertising, which usually offers bloggers better rates and are less intrusive. Check our complete guide on native advertising to find out what native ads are, the PROs and CONs of native advertising, the best practices, etc. Also, we have a detailed section on the best native advertising platforms you should use.
How much can I make with Advertising networks?
Like Google Adsense, the amount you can make using advertising networks varies depending on the size and style of ad you use, your blog’s niche, and how much traffic you get. You can make at least 2-3 times more than Google Adsense with the same traffic amount.
How to start making money with advertising networks on my blog?
Check our bloggers’ advertising networks guide and seek the best network that fits your requirements. Signup, add your website and then place the ads on your site. Monitor the earnings and visitors’ experience for some weeks, decide if you’re happy with the results, and keep it or switch to a new one.

Sell advertising directly
Ad networks run on a middle-man profit model. They find advertisers and arrange the payment; they take a percentage of the money for themselves. Communicating directly with an advertiser means you get to keep all the money, but you also have to deal directly with the companies and negotiate rates and terms.
Sell advertising directly PROs
- Charge more as you cut the middleman.
- You have the final decision of what ads appear on your website.
- Have the flexibility to choose the ad sizes and ad types you take.
- You can place the banners in ways that are not suppressed by adblockers.
Sell advertising directly CONs
- You have to search for clients for your ad space actively.
- Need technical knowledge to install an ad management plugin.
Most direct advertisers want higher traffic numbers than ad networks before committing. Because of this, direct advertisers are typically a late-stage addition to a blogger’s income streams.
While direct ads tend to be employed by established blogs, don’t rule the idea out if a potential opportunity comes along.
How much can I make by selling advertising directly?
Like Google Adsense, the amount you can make using advertising networks varies depending on the size and style of ad you use, your blog’s niche, and how much traffic you get. You can make at least 2-3 times more than Google Adsense with the same traffic amount.
How to start making money by selling advertising on my blog?
The first step is to analyze your audience (traffic figures, demographics, etc.) and create a media kit for your blog. Here is a media kit creation guide. Alternatively, you may create an advertising page your readers can easily find. Check ours here. The next step is to install an ad management solution on your blog and configure everything. If you don’t have any orders, you may place affiliate banners. The final step is to outreach to potential customers for your ad space.
Write and Sell an Ebook
The most successful eBooks come from bloggers whose brand is based on expertise. You can release the eBook as a PDF directly from your site or through a retailer like Amazon for almost no financial investment.
You want to ensure it contains new material that’s not just a rehash of the information readers can get on your blog for free. A compelling eBook topic might be an in-depth analysis of a trend in your field or a comprehensive how-to solution to a common problem.
Sell Ebooks PROs
- Make money almost on autopilot (create once sell for years to come).
- You establish yourself as an expert in your niche.
- Make more money than selling ads.
Sell Ebooks CONs
- I need to spend time researching and writing the book.
- You will need to respond to customer questions.
Income from an eBook tends to reach its highest levels shortly after its initial release. Referencing the book in your future posts or running a promotion could cause spikes in sales, but if you’re marketing the book, right the bulk of your subscribers will buy it right off the bat if they’re going to. Subsequent spikes in sales tend to be from new readers who have come to you since the initial release.
How much can I make by writing and selling an ebook?
According to WiseBread.com, of about 200,000 authors selling ebooks on Amazon, only about 5,000 — less than 3% — consistently earn $10,000 yearly or better. So if you don’t write like George R.R. Martin and have a strong publisher, you will not get reach by writing a book. Yet you can still make a decent income, like $300 – $1000 monthly.
How to start making money by writing and selling ebooks on my blog?
Selling ebooks isn’t restricted to a particular niche. There are ebooks on blogging, photography, fitness, and anything you can think of. For example, if you had a blog that taught gardening, you could sell an ebook that gives your audience more detail on how to grow their gardens or a particular plant.
You can then choose to sell your ebook directly on your blog or through platforms like Gumroad or Podia. Selling your ebook on your site can be advantageous, as you get to keep 100% of the profits. You can easily do this with WooCommerce or the Easy Digital Downloads WordPress plugin.
Create an Online Course
More people are taking online courses than ever before. The e-learning industry is expected to grow to about $325 billion by 2025. Online courses can take many forms for a blogger. The easiest way to make a course is to write it as a series of PDF documents that your reader purchases and studies on their own—very much like an eBook, but with exercises and extra resources explicitly designed to educate the reader.
Recording media to accompany the course can feel more personal and add value to the course. Whether you do it as an audio file or a video, people who buy the class will benefit from hearing you explain the concepts aloud. Video can benefit physical or visual niches, like fitness or design, where demonstrating the idea can be easier than explaining it.
The most time-intensive course style is to meet with the students in real-time through a chat room or online education portal. The disadvantage of this class style is that it requires people to be available at a specific time to attend, limiting interest and attendance.
Online Courses PROs
- Video online courses are selling like hotcakes now.
- You can add more content like quizzes, tests, checklists, etc.
Online Courses CONs
- For video courses, you need professional equipment to record.
- Also, your spoken English should be good enough.
- Requires discipline.
How much can I make by creating and selling an online course?
As I said, the e-learning industry will grow to about $325 billion by 2025. People like Joseph Michael made $40k as a newbie teaching writers how to use Scrivener’s popular writing software. As you can see, the possibilities of selling online courses are endless.
How to start making money by creating and selling an online course on my blog?
Selling online courses isn’t restricted to a particular niche. There are ebooks on blogging, photography, fitness, and anything you can think of. You don’t need to be a certified chef to create a course that teaches people how to cook. If you can cook better than most people, and make your course material in a way that can truly teach people how to cook, then there’s nothing holding you back from creating your course.
Come up with a great course idea, ask for feedback, create the course, ask for feedback again :), do the final touches and then host it on a 3rd party platform like Teachable or Udemi. If you prefer to host it locally, use a WordPress plugin like WP Courseware or Memberpress and start selling.
Add a Paid Membership Section
A paid section of your site can be an excellent way to provide more value to your readers while expanding your income streams. It may be helpful for a blog in a smaller niche with a minor, dedicated variety readership. The caveat is that you want to ensure that a paid membership site significantly increases value over your free content, or you’ll risk leaving your most dedicated readers feeling ripped off.
Paid Membership PROs
- It works even for smaller readerships.
- Leverage your content and earn even more.
- Recurring payments increase your income.
- You can automate membership sites.
Paid Membership CONs
- You must always create content; otherwise, the members will stop paying.
- I need Some technical knowledge to set up everything.
- You have to create content even better than what you offer for free.
There are many kinds of member-only sites. Forums and directories are popular formats. For ideas on creating a paid section of your blog, check our top affiliate marketing forums, where some forum admins ask for anywhere between $20 – $99 for a monthly membership. While a member-only site doesn’t require you to make any physical products, it requires more complex coding than your typical blog page.
How much can I make by adding a paid membership section to my blog?
You should take into consideration many things. Your expertise, the niche you’re in, and the traffic figures are just some of them. For example, Jeff Goins’s Tribe Writers is a membership site that only opens a year thrice. He charges upwards of $100 monthly for membership; it only allows 150-200 students on average.
How to start making money by adding a paid membership section?
Decide first on the content you will offer for the monthly fee. It can be digital courses, exclusive forum access, ebooks, reports, the ones that I’ve told you about before, but now you pack them in a monthly membership. Use a membership plugin like Memberpress, put everything together, and inform your members they can get access to even more great content of yours. Suppose you don’t know how to do it. In that case, you should hire a WordPress maintenance service or go with one of our recommended WordPress custom development companies if you need further customization and integration.
Start selling physical products
An online shop might be something you never even considered. But, through the power of affiliate sales – and marketing – it’s a great place to put the products your readers might need; right next to the content they love.
Selling Physical Products PROs
- Get higher rates than through affiliate marketing.
- You can easily change the products.
- Have total control of the orders.
Selling Physical Products CONs
- You should deal with packing, selling, refunds, etc.
- You need to take care of the inventory.
- Should invest in advertising and marketing to generate orders.

Sell your blog for profit
Believe it or not, an authority website can sell for around 35x-40x of monthly profit. That’s about three years of upcoming profits.
If you decide to sell your blog, there are several places where you can do it. Besides the usual marketplaces, I suggest you first contact companies or competitors from your niche, especially if your niche is not so popular as digital marketing or finance. That’s because these companies know the value of your blog and how to monetize it properly, so they will usually pay more.
Selling your blog PROs
- Get up to 36x your monthly income.
- Get free time to pursue other money-making opportunities.
- Will have connections in the industry.
Selling your blog CONs.
- You need to document well income documents, traffic stats, etc.
- You will lose a money-making income stream.
- Extensive due diligence on the buyer is required to avoid getting scammed.
The process of the sale of a blog isn’t something that you can do overnight. It requires an investment of both time and money. If you want to sell your blog and cash out, prepare for any legal issues before posting your blog for sale. This way, everything will go much smoother and with less last-minute hustle.
How much can I make by selling my blog?
Most of the blogs sell for up to 36x of their monthly profit. You may get much more if the blog is well-established in your industry and have a decent, constant readership.
How to sell my blog?
You should research website marketplaces extensively to see how much others sold similar blogs. Ask for a professional evaluation. We can do it. MotionInvest also does it. Prepare all the documents (financial, marketing, traffic stats) at least one year before the selling date, as the buyers will do their due diligence. I suggest using an escrow service like Escrow.com for doing transactions.
Check also our article on how to sell your blog. Many tips will help you in selling your blog.
Accept donations
Is your blog new, or is it not easily monetizable? You should consider accepting donations. If your readers love your content, they’ll sometimes give you money if you ask.
When you provide entertaining and valuable content to people for free, there’s nothing wrong with asking for donations. Even popular websites like Wikipedia or Archive.org ask for donations from their users.
Accepting Donations PROs
- Supplement your income and cover your blog expenses.
- Allow you to be independent and not push people to purchase something.
Accepting Donation CONs.
- You can’t mix donations with high rewarding monetization methods
- Doesn’t work for some niches. You can’t teach people to make money online, trade, and ask for donations.
You can create a donation form using Gravity Forms to collect donations from your readers.
You can try other monetization methods: [16] create a private forum, [17] host a paid webinar.
Blog Monetization FAQ
What's the best blog monetization method?
That’s a great question because each blog has its traffic figures. Is it in a different evolution stage, niche, etc.? So I will recommend it based on some concrete situations you may be in your journey.
- Suppose you have significant traffic figures and SEO metrics. In that case, you should: offer sponsored posts, apply to advertising networks, start reviewing products and services, do affiliate marketing and ultimately sell your blog for significant profits.
- If your blog is highly niched and an expert in this niche, you should: do affiliate marketing, offer paid consultations, offer services, write an ebook, record a video course, or sell physical products if possible.
- You just started your blog and look for a way to supplement your income? Do CPA marketing, apply to Google Adsense, and review products and services in your niche.
Ultimately you should test which blog monetization method works best for you.
How Much Does a Blogger Earn Per Month?
But to have some figures you can guide yourself on, most bloggers earn around $500 – $1000 per month in their first 2-3 years of blogging but then when they gather a solid readership can make anywhere between $10K to $100K every month. So hard work and persistence are paying off.

Top 3 Blog Monetization Mistakes
Here are the top 3 blog monetization mistakes we encounter:
- You should not expect any quick returns. It can take up to several months to see any significant response from your visitors. Be patient!
- If you are an affiliate, don’t hide that. Put a disclaimer of some sort somewhere for the sake of transparency with your readership. Google has explicitly said this is necessary if you’re selling via affiliate marketing. They’ll reward you with higher rankings if you do.
- Don’t put your faith in one method. For instance, you need a lot of traffic to make money from Google Ads. You need to be more creative than that! Test and combine to find the best monetization methods for your blog.
