You've already taken the first step which was to write your blog and maybe you've even gained a following, are you ready to start making money off of your blogging business?

Follow these tips and tactics to get started and you'll see how easy it can be!

Monetize Through Google Adsense

Of course, the most obvious way to monetize your blog is through Google Adsense. If you have a blog hosted on Blogger, you can automatically link your account to a Google Adsense account using an online form.

Once you're signed up you can create ads and track your clicks as well as how much money you're making per click, per day, per week, month etc. It's a no-brainer and is super easy when starting out blogging.

Once you've gained a following of at least 1000 followers, that's when it's a good idea to start your Google Adsense account, otherwise, you're most likely just making cents when first starting out.

Your pay range per click may start out low at 0.20 per click, but can quickly raise to $15 per click once you are a well-known and established publisher.

Publish An E-book

After publishing at least 5-6 posts, you may feel ready to compile your knowledge into an E-book. E-books are becoming more and more popular for bloggers because they are easier to put together and are often affordable for an interested audience.

E-books can be easily marketed and linked on social media and often feature a splashy graphic E-book cover that can be used as an effective visual for advertising.

Publishing an E-book is as easy as creating it in a Word document, exporting to PDF and publishing it on Amazon, then linking to your site. Create a graphic book cover and post that to your blog. Advertise on your social media platforms and you have yourself an instant product for followers to buy.
