When To Start To Monetize Your Blog?
The most successful bloggers out there recommend to start with the beginning of your blogging career.
In the beginning of your blogging career it is natural that you will not have a bunch of advertisers who wait to get one of your free ad spots. Therefore you should consider to step into ‘Affiliate Marketing’.
“Affiliate Marketing is an Internet-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts. It is an application of crowd sourcing.”
You can find affiliate programs at:
– Affiliate program directories like for example Affiliateseeking.com and Associateprograms.com. There are more, simply do a Google search.
- Affiliate networks that provide the platform for dozens or even hundreds of advertisers, like LinkShare and Google.
- The website itself can be good source. Websites that offer an affiliate program often have a link titled “Affiliate Program” like Amazon and Ebay have affiliate programs as well.
You can start with the above to make some cash out of your work, maybe in the first time to pay your blog host and your domain.
Later when you reach a significant amount of visitors daily and your Alexa rank gets under 100k than your blog will become more interesting for potential advertisers and you will get requests for advertising on your blog.
A good way to make some cash also is to write for other bloggers or to write paid reviews.
As a beginner you can charge $5 for 200 words. This sum can go up also with your and your blogs growing popularity, than you will be able to charge $50 for 200 words or much more.
But this takes time and persistence from your side. Go one step behind another and have fun!
