How to Earn Money from Blogging without Investment Part 5

You have probably read from Part 1 to Part 4, now it's time to Earn Money from Blogging without an investment. Follow the instructions and get your $100 to $1,000+ within 24 hours or less. However, let me remind you that this will only work if you follow each step very carefully; and apply each step on your own unique situation. These are some methods that I use to earn money while blogging at the same time without any investment at all. All my recommendations are 100% Free!

Ad revenue explained

Advertising is a major source of income for blogs and it’s not hard to see why. The small fees advertisers pay you for your ad space go a long way when you have thousands of daily visitors. In fact, some popular blogs earn upwards of $200,000 annually simply by displaying ads on their sites. As long as your content is engaging and relevant, advertisers will continue buying ads on your site because they know people are looking at them. With just a little time and effort, you can earn significant income from ad revenue as well!

Ad revenue strategy

The ad revenue strategy is one of your fastest ways to earn money blogging. It requires some technical know-how, but if you have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS, you can get started right away. Many blogs come with Google AdSense ready-to-go; simply sign up for an account and place their code onto your site. If you’re looking for something more customized, there are other services like Mediavine or BuySellAds that allow you to sell advertising space on your site directly. With mediavine, I was able to sell ads directly on my website and make $100 per month with no traffic! This is definitely worth trying out! If done correctly, it will be a great way to monetize your website.

Revenue strategies example

For example, if you're selling products on your site, you could have a link for your newsletter subscription, where someone signs up and they'll get a discount code as their welcome gift. You don't have to give away free stuff -- discounts work just as well but it is important that you allow readers some way of staying connected with your brand. That way, when something goes on sale or when a new product hits the market, they can be among the first to know about it. If there's one thing successful e-commerce companies know how to do well, it's communicate! That may seem obvious, but so many brands are plagued by weak email campaigns and too-quiet social media accounts.

Strategy 1: Create the Ultimate Guide to a Targeted Topic

Okay, now we’re getting into how you can create valuable content and make money for free. One of my favorite ways is creating an ultimate guide to a targeted topic. Ultimate guides are some of my most popular posts, so I’m going to walk you through what exactly they are, how you can create one, and why people love them so much. After reading through all of these steps, if you want a more in-depth explanation on how to start blogging or monetizing your website read my ultimate guide here.

Strategy 2: Create Ebooks, Guides, and Courses on Amazon Kindle

Amazon Kindle Store, along with Apple’s iBookstore and Barnes & Noble’s Nook, is a leading destination for ebooks. If you already have content on your website or elsewhere that can be turned into an ebook, consider writing it in a way that will make it especially attractive to readers looking for specific information in your niche. You can also approach eBook publishers directly for ideas or to see if they’re interested in working with you. Another route is to create an entire book from scratch using a service like Reedsy. (See Chapter 16). As soon as you publish your book on Amazon, you can use Kindle Direct Publishing Select (KDP Select) and earn per-page read royalties while making some of your books free through special promotions.

Strategy 3: Promote Affiliate Products Through Your Own Product Listing Store

When you have a compelling website with lots of traffic, you can make money through affiliate marketing. An affiliate program is an easy way for publishers (bloggers) to earn commissions by promoting other peoples’ (or company’s) products. As an affiliate marketer, you promote products through links and banners on your website that will direct customers to merchant sites. If a visitor buys something after clicking on one of your links, you receive a commission as well as a percentage of that sale if it was an affiliate link or banner ad that brought them there.

Strategy 4 – Monetize Your Own Digital Course Platform

If you are knowledgeable in a particular area and have a large amount of content available online, chances are there is someone else who needs help with that same topic. Why not create your own course and sell it? You may even be able to turn it into an in-person business by teaching classes through local organizations or community colleges. It can be challenging to maintain a website and build traffic, but these are all opportunities for you to prove yourself as an expert if you have something valuable and worth selling. You don’t need paid customers in order for your business model to work; often, companies will be happy to trade access for exposure. If they get marketing value out of it, their investment into buying ad space is returned many times over.

Strategy 5 – Receive Payments From Brands Through Sponsored Posts

Although sponsored posts are a form of affiliate marketing, there is a lot more room for creativity here. Many brands offer sponsored posts that allow you to essentially promote your favorite products. Depending on your niche and audience, there may be some pretty good payouts involved. This one takes a bit of experimentation because every marketer will want something different out of their sponsored post (some like to provide a really amazing useful resource, while others just want link clicks). If you can find a brand willing to pay $500+ for posting something very specific on your site, then do it.

Strategy 6 – Use Clickbank For High Converting Offers With a Low Refund Rate

Clickbank is one of the best affiliate marketing networks out there. It has over 35,000 high converting products, which can be extremely beneficial for you as a blogger. Clickbank provides you with a number of tools that can make promoting and monetizing your content easier, including product tracking and link cloaking.
