How do you make money with a blog? Tips and Tricks

Earn money with blog: place advertising

A very obvious way to make money with blogs is with advertising banners.

There are many ad networks that you can use to monetize your blog. The best known network of this type is Google AdSense. You embed one or more advertising banners on your website and get money for it - depending on how many visitors are on your site.
However, advertising banners on your own website have some disadvantages: They only become really lucrative if your blog has a large number of visitors. This can quickly mean that the focus is no longer on good content, but on visitor numbers. In addition, many Internet users now use ad blockers.

Affiliate marketing is about selling products and getting commission for them.

You also need a partner company for affiliate marketing. Amazon, for example, offers an affiliate program in which you participate in sales. So if someone leads your blog on Amazon and buys a product, you get a small portion of the purchase price.
This way of making money also has its pitfalls: If no one clicks on the affiliate links, you will not earn anything from it. In addition, the commissions are often relatively puny.

Sponsored posts are nothing more than blog entries for which you are paid. To do this, you need a company to commission a post on your blog. As a rule, the company's products or services should be advertised.
If you want to publish sponsored posts, you first need to look around for a company that fits your blog, target audience and topics. Just contact a company near you.
Of course, you also need a certain range for this. The more visitors you have to your blog, the more you can ask for your blog entries.
