Before we dive in, I’d like to make it clear that it takes hard work and consistency to make money with blogging.

CPC or CPM Ads

This is one of the most common ways to make money as a blogger. This involves placing ad banners on your website probably within the content or by the sidebar and this can be done with two different systems;

Pay Per Click (PPC)

Ads Also called cost per click (CPC) is a type of ads that get you paid once a viewer or reader on your blog clicks it.

Cost Per Impressions (CPM) Ads

This type of ad gets you paid with a fixed amount of money depending on the number of people viewing the ad.  Many advertisers make their payments based on cost per 1,000 impressions which means that for every 1000 times any of your blog pages is opened with the ads showing, you’ll be paid a certain amount.

To make money from any of these ad systems you would have to sign up with a network that will place these ads on your site and get you paid for it.

Some of the ad networks you can consider include;

Sponsored Posts

Bloggers are called influencers; they have the voice, the words and the authority to influence people’s decisions with their blog posts or content. Therefore companies and individual business owners take advantage of this by paying bloggers or content creators to develop content that will indirectly advertise or sell their products or services. The content you create as a blogger around subjects like this is called sponsored posts. So this is one way you can also make money blogging.

To get your work out there, there are sites you can submit your articles to. Once your work is good, they’ll get your content published and overtime, you’ll have people asking to sponsor your content.

While writing about what you love, you can actually make money by selling a service or product related to what blog about.

Once a sale is made using your unique URL (which tracks your affiliate code) to the site, the company pays you a commission for it.
