It helps creating SEO friendly blog posts, it guides you how many keywords you should include in your post.
9. Social Media Accounts
Social media is the main important part to blog monetization, it plays a very big part bringing traffic and our blog gets exposure.
You will need atleast to accounts for facebook and twitter.
BLOG MONETIZATION METHODS
Advertising Networks
Advertising networks are companies like Google Adsense, If you are a new blogger you should have atleast enough posts before applying to Google Adsense.
This is the most common blog monetization method with new bloggers.
I highly suggest before applying you should have atleast 5 blog posts published.
Mediavine is another company just like Google Adsense, requires a blogger to reach 25000 session to be accepted into their program.
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is my go-to way to make money from your blog. So how does it work? First things first, you need to enroll in affiliate program and once accepted you will be given unique links.
Those links can be placed on your blog as you give a review or referal to one of your readers.
I’m enrolled with bluehost as their affiliate I get a commission if you purchased using any of my links.
Sponsored Posts
These are promoted posts that you will get paid to place then on your blog as an advertisem*nt.
The larger the audience the higher the amount per post you will be charging.
Amazon Associates
Most bloggers sign up with Amazon recommending products to their readers through their link.
I have a friend who is a blogger aswell and she is making upto $5,000 a month just from Amazon Associates.
E-book
Create an e-book on a topic you are passionate about and sell it on Amazon Publishing, as well as it you will link your blog link and clients will come back to your blog therefore receiving new eyeballs on your blog.
