All you must do is to develop content that will ultimately promote whatever the affiliate Is offering to your readers. Most writers use something like amazon or dell affiliate services to help monetize their affiliate marketing.

Advertisement

Most people believe adding some pay per click ads is a great way to earn large sums of money for your blog, but unless you already have massive amounts of traffic somewhere on par with 10,000 + visitors per day then the income will be marginal at best. If you want to make money on pay per click advertisement then you need to have at least 100000 unique visitors to your blog per day, dont worry its usually it takes about two years to build up an audience of this magnitude if you are dedicated to blogging. If you are active in your community or online you can offer adspace on your blog to business owners or managers that you know personally. Some of your best advertising dollars can come from folks you are already acquainted with.

Email marketing

This is one of the most powerful methods for monetizing your blog. If you want to be successful with email marketing you will need to build your list of clients for your email. Leveraging the power of your email list will allow you to have a set group of readers who you know will likely look at your content when you disseminate it. This also allows you to keep up with metrics because most email marketing platforms allow you to track whether or not readers are opening the emails and how many clicks the emails are getting. If you have a big enough email list then you may even be able to sell advertisement space on your emails to companies interested in marketing.

Sell Ebooks

Ebooks offer a pretty quick path for one to make money from their blog. If you develop an Ebook that has content aligned with your blog then it is likely you will convert on at least 5% of your viewers.

You can easily sell any type of digital information from your blog as long as it is in correlation with the niche that you have chosen. Some bloggers choose to create webinars and markets some sort of coating service that they have created. Since you are an expert on what you write about then it makes sense that you should try to sell in-depth knowledge to those who seek to learn and become like you.
