More Than 20 Ways To Earn In WordPress Blogging

Starting a blog in WordPress is as easy as any teens can do. In fact, we have found cases that teens are engaged in blogging in their spare time and had to earn a lot from it. But since this is somewhat a lengthy read, we encourage you to take some focus and hang on. So, before you can start blogging you need to set up your blog site on WordPress. Before that, you need to think of your "niche" in blogging. Niche is just a simple term that means to say a focus on your blog. Having a precise target of the audience is important in some types of blog especially if you want to monetize it to the utmost audience of the same preference or interest. As long as you already had a content of your blog, you can already start monetizing it. Yes, putting ads on the blog might be the very thing that tick into your mind and that is achievable in WordPress. Here are few ways you can make it work.

1. Earn by Affiliate Marketing

Since I assumed that you don't have any knowledge about affiliating, we first examine what is affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing in other simple words just means promoting services and goods to your viewers or audience. And you earn according to the terms of the affiliate programs you enrolled. Some pay commission base on clicks of the ads, while others pay via conversion counting.

Lazada had an affiliate program but it gives off commission rate by conversion. Many affiliate marketers got a tough job making sales. Conversion actually means sales. When someone put into their cart online, then that is the time you get a commission. If the customer does not proceed to check out, then you will not earn from it. You can also get products to promote from e-commerce store like Amazon, Commission Junction, Walmart, BestBuy, or in ShareASale. The good thing is that WordPress is a perfect platform for affiliate activity because they have plugins and tools you can use like ThirtyAffiliates that let you manage the affiliate links on your WordPress blog.

2. Integrate Google AdSense Into Your Blog

For newly launch blogs, Google AdSense may not approve your application if the blog does not have a substantial content. Allow six months before registering in Google AdSense and generate more traffic to your blog for high approval rate. Nowadays, it is quite difficult to get the approval of the Google AdSense account. They are somewhat strict and there are certain requirement that the blog must meet and one of it is having a good quality content and free from copyright post.

But don't lose hope if you cannot get approved for Google AdSense account just yet. There are other alternatives to AdSense such as Propeller Ads Media, AdMaven and others. In this ads network, you need to register as a publisher and add the script or code to your blog to display their ads.   By displaying these ads, you get to pay for the CPC. CPC means "Cost Per Click". It means for every unique traffic that clicks on the ads, you will get paid for it. It is important that you need to choose the high-paying ad network to optimize your earning on your blog. There are also what we called "CPM" or cost per thousand impressions. Read first the details on the Frequently Asked Questions portions of the ad network you choose to know the rate as well as their minimum payout and the mode of payout to ensure that your effort won't go waste once you earn something from the ads.

These ad networks have different set up of advertising such as banners, intermediary, and pop-ups. You can check out the BuySellAds for the advertising that match your blog. If you are writing about food, then most probably you will go for kitchen and baking items for advertisement. Put relevant ads on your blog as this will increase sales. The WordPress enables you to insert the ads into the widgets and codes so this should not be a problem to you. If you are not sure how to do it, you can watch YouTube tutorials and it helps you a lot on the setup.

3. Sponsored Articles

Not all bloggers are into displaying ads on their blogs. They think it would annoy the viewer of their blog, however, they earn on sponsored articles. Mostly, if your blog gets substantial traffic, someone will contact you for guest posting or collaborate on the backlinks building. If it is still a new blog, you can simply charge for as little as 30 dollars per articles and goes up to 65 dollars. In most cases, the one who will sponsor the articles or post already have the article ready for them and all you need to do is post it on your blog and ---BINGO! You earn already!

The concept of sponsorship is no new as any TV shows that ask you to be an ambassador for their product or goods in return for the audience demographic of your blog, however, there are some guidelines or disclosure terms in sponsorship.

4. Earn By Writing Reviews

Bloggers also earn when they write reviews for the product or services on their blog. It is quite similar to sponsored articles and you can approach companies for this and negotiate for the price. Many companies and online stores do this to build their brand over time. It also helps a lot in their backlinks building.

11. Paid Submission For Event Calendar

Instead of charging for submission of the job post, you can also make an event calendar where business and individuals can pay you when they submit advertisement on your site. And same with number 10 the already established and stable viewers is important so that you can get people pay to reach that viewers.

Drop shipping is a way others created their stores in which the person who runs the store does not have the physical items and whenever they get orders that is the time they will order the product from their supplier, of course, the supplier is hidden from their customer and their supplier will be the one to ship the purchased items to the address they put.

21 Being An Amazon Affiliate

Some people do not like the dropshipping style of the online store because you will need to get a good supplier and often times, you need an investment on the upfront orders and it is impossible to succeed without spending a lot of money on this while being an affiliate will let you have the product to promote on your site and the orders and shipment duty is already on the seller.
