The effort you are ready to make

Ways to make money with a blog
Below you will find the most effective ways to monetize a blog. You can typically mix some, but the key is to select the ones that match best for your goal.
Publicity
Adsense monetization is still one of the favorite ways for many bloggers because of its simplicity.
Adsense (PPC)
This is the bigest in the world, Google’s PPC ad network. PPC means Pay Per Click. Every time a reader clicks on one of those ads on your blog, you get paid.
Adsense owes its popularity to its simplicity, ease of implementation and the number of advertisers. Just sign up here, and once Google has approved your request, you can start posting ads on your blog by inserting a small code.
Google chooses what type of ads will appear on your website based on the subject and profile of the reader. It’s an advantage. Google has a lot of information about your readers, and shows them the most relevant ads for each of them.
Revenues you can expect from Adsense
If the average cost per click is 0.30 and the percentage of readers who click on an ad is usually around 1%. Therefore, if you had a thousand page views a day, the calculation of the monthly income with Adsense would be as follows: 30,000 pages viewed / month x 1% of clicks x 0,30 dollars -> 90 dollars / month.
The key to earning a good income with Adsense is to have a blog on a subject that pays very well, such as executive training, finance or health, or a less profitable one but capable of attracting a huge volume of visits.
For a blog, Adsense is a very simple way to earn extra money each month, but it’s probably not what will allow you to live on it.
Summary on Adsense:
- Easy to implement
- The ads are very relevant
- Most blogs don’t seem to be in niches that Adsense pays well
- You will need a very large number of visits
Private Advertisers
If you are proactive and you want to succeed with your blog, you can contact companies to supply them advertising space in your blog wherever to put their banner with the ad.
These ads are usually found in the header, sidebar, or in the content itself. Advertisers typically pay by impression at cost per thousand views (CPT), that is, the number of times that readers viewed this page with advertising.
To find advertisers, you can do two things:
- Connect with companies related to your topic to offer them advertising for their services and products. They will be more likely to access if they are already advertising on Adsense or other sites, so do some research to increase your chances of success.
- Encourage businesses to contact you by creating a “Advertise Here” section on your blog, where they can find a document with your rates, the number of visitors to your blog and a contact form.
