However, there is one monetization channel that I recommend for beginners: brand sponsorship.
When a brand sponsors your blog, they pay to have their product or australia phone number material mentioned in a blog post. That might involve you writing the post and reviewing what they offer – or it could mean that they’ll write the content for you and you’ll simply publish it.
This is a great way to monetize early on as you’ll get a fixed fee for each sponsored post. Just one or two sponsored posts could easily cover your blogging costs for the year.
For lots more about blog sponsorship, listen to the interview I did with Preston Lee for my podcast The Side Hustle Project.
22. Digital Products (Courses and eBooks) are Great Ways to Monetize Your Blog
Many bloggers say they wish they’d created their first digital product sooner. It’s easy to put off making a product – perhaps you think that you don’t know enough to write a whole course or eBook, or you think your audience is so small that it’s not worth creating a product yet.
Online courses and premium eBooks are a fantastic way to monetize your expertise. You don’t need years of experience in your niche to do this: you just need to know more than your readers.
In fact, often the best resources are created by bloggers who still remember what it was like to be new to a topic. Most of your readers will be beginners, and your course or eBook could help lead them through all the questions they have as they get started or take their next steps.
Creating your own eBook or course also offers something of great value to your readers. While sponsored posts can be useful income for you, they’re not always of huge benefit to the people reading. Your courses or eBooks can make a real difference – and could even change someone’s life.
23. Affiliate Programs will Grow Your Blog Income (with Sustainable Traffic Sources)
My largest source of blog income (and one of my favorite forms of monetization) is affiliate marketing.
As an affiliate, I’m a blogger (or influencer) that promotes other people’s or brand’s products and services. In return for referring customers and recommending a useful product to my audience, I’ll get a cut of any sales I help generate.
Sales are tracked using a special link, usually called an “affiliate link.” To get this link, you’ll need to sign up for the right affiliate programs in your niche that have a high likelihood of providing value to your future readership.
