Blogging

Blogging is one of the most preferred ways of making money online. Because it is the easiest and convenient way to get exposure to the internet economy.

As of now, over 440 millions of blogs are published online. If you start today, you are definitely going to encounter competition. So, is it an end to blogging?

Affiliate Marketing, Selling, Podcasts, Services are the other ways to make money with blogging. We'll discuss more about it below.

Niche Research

Before you enter the blogging arena, you should find out what are you going to write about. You cannot simply pick up a niche or category and write a few posts and expect readers to go through your blog and perform actions.

Niche research is a crucial part to determine if you can do well in any business. The best way to do it is to visit authority websites and find out what they are doing. Pick a micro-niche that is well focused on a subject and start your blog based on that particular topic.

Harsh Aggarwal chose a micro-niche for one of his random projects and it still generates over $2k per year with display ads. The niche he chose was about Cydia App, which is a package manager mobile app for iOS. He did amazingly well with his blog. Even you can follow this blueprint, to make money with your blog.

It could be... or you will end up like the majority who makes nothing and end up with frustration. It happens because they don't research the niche very well which affects their business.

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing is one of the most trusted ways of making money online. It's a prime way of a blogger or a marketer to make money.

If you're new to affiliate marketing, let me tell you a brief about it before I tell you how you can earn money,

Affiliate Marketing is an online strategy to let product owners generate more sales by finding partners or affiliates, and recommend products to their audience.

In other words, if you are an affiliate marketer, all you need to do is find a product, refer it to a customer and if a customer purchases it with your recommendation (using your hotlink), you will earn commissions.

Sounds cool, yeah?

How much commission you can make as an Affiliate Marketer?

Services like Amazon provide 7% commission on every successful purchase made using your affiliate link. But there are services which guarantee commissions up to 80% like ClickBank.

Also, I have recently joined Builderall Platform, where you can make 100% commission on your first referral sale and then earn 30% commission every month from their renewal. So, if you refer to one customer, you can forever make money till they decide to cancel their subscription.

Amazing, isn't it?

Well, that's the power of affiliate marketing.

How to be an Affiliate Marketer?

Being an affiliate marketer is very easy and there are so many sellers, platforms that are ready to give you a unique which can be used to drive sales to their products.

All you need is to own a blog or social media channel/profile and link their products to your content so that if any customers click on that link they will be redirected to the product page. If they purchase the product, you will get the commission cut out of it.

Freelancing

Freelancing is a way out to your 9 to 5 job, because it gives you the freedom to work at your own schedule.

To get started, you don’t need any efforts other than finding the best platform and creating a freelancer profile.

The profile helps the employers to match your skills and if you’re a perfect fit for the job, you’re good to go ahead.

Join freelance marketplaces to find freelancing projects. It is for sure that you might end up making less than you expected from the first few projects. So, your focus should not lie upon earning money but earning good reviews and testimonials that will ensure some better projects from future clients.

Before you start bidding for projects, you should determine your target market and your services. Find out your skills and then recognize what you can offer to the clients. Make a list and then, create a portfolio on LinkedIn and other networks to increase your professional presence online.

Once you’re ready with basic steps, you’re good to bid for projects.
