How to make money from blogging

I have been blogging since I'm in middle school. Back then, it was just a hobby for me, but in high school, I realized the potential of blogging for getting a passive income source. There are several ways to earn money from a blog; in this article, I will list them to you one by one. You can choose what is best for you and your blog; for some of them, you can combine these methods to get maximum income from your blog.

1. Google Adsense

This is maybe the best monetizing type if you don't want to deal with sales, returns, and all. Basically, Adsense recognizes your content and shows ads related to what your visitor might have an interest in. Adsense also uses visitor's caches to give them an advertisement about their browser history. Because of this feature, even if your article isn't about high-paying niches, you can still get a high CPM for that visitor. 

2. Affiliate systems

One of the best ways to monetize your blog is by using affiliate products about your content. Because if you are giving information about a product in your blog, your visitors probably gonna be buyers of that product in the future. If they click, for example, the amazon affiliate link of that product and order it, you will get a commission from that order. You can use different affiliate systems; each has different rates for commission and different products to sell. I will write another article about that soon and put a link for it here.

3. Offering freelance services

    Another way is writing a blog about your skills and offering your services. People who will hire you can pay with Paypal, bitcoin, etc., or you can use websites like Fiverr to get more secure payments. If you have skills such as designing websites, coding, or translating from/to foreign languages, you can inform your blog readers about those skills and get customers.

4. Selling products

When I say product, I don't just mean physical products; you can also sell ebooks, courses, and templates you made for websites. Such digital products are easier to deliver, and mostly, you won't have to be dealing with returns.

5. Getting banner ads from companies

Remember I said you can use Adsense for your blog? Well, there is a faster and sometimes better-paid way to advertise your website; you can simply go search for companies who sell products in your category and offer them banner ads on your website.
