1. Increasing the Number of Website Visitors

Once you have a significant number of visitors to your blog, there are numerous opportunities to monetize it. However, when you are first starting out, you will have a limited number of readers, so it is critical to make the most of each one.

This means that you must ensure that first-time visitors to your blog will return again and again. Only by having repeat readers will you ever be able to build a substantial audience from which you can make a profit.

So, what methods do you use to stay in touch with your readers?

The quickest and most effective method is to request an email address from which you can communicate with them regarding updates. It is possible to build the largest mailing list possible by collecting the email addresses of your readers from the very beginning of your blog's existence.

Have you ever questioned why nearly every website you visit requires you to provide your email address as part of the registration process?

According to the marketing adage "the money is in the mailing list," this is true. This is due to the fact that a mailing list allows you to contact people on an ongoing basis.

Every time you send an email to your list, you have the opportunity to offer them products or services, or simply encourage them to return to your blog, where you can earn money from advertisements (discussed below).

The use of mailing lists by large corporations such as Groupon is exactly what they are intended to do. They make offers on a daily or weekly basis, depending on the company.

To get started, you'll need to sign up for an email marketing service. New bloggers can take advantage of Constant Contact's free trial offer to try out their services, which is by far the easiest and most dependable option I've found.

2. Making Money from Your Blog

Once you have established a respectable readership base, you can begin to think about how you can make money from your blog. There are multiple ways to achieve this goal, but one of the most flexible work from home jobs and the direct way to make money as a blogger is through advertising.

In order for advertisers to pay to have their advertisements displayed in front of your readers, you must have a large number of visitors to your blog.

The best ways to have passive income from a blog is to participate in Google’s AdSense program.

You will be compensated for displaying advertisements on your blog.

Once you have created your AdSense account, you will be provided with a code that you can paste into your blog. By including this code in your blog, you will be able to automatically display advertisements from companies that are a part of Google's advertising network.

Advertising from small businesses that are related to your topic may appear, as well as advertisements from large corporations that are completely unrelated to your topic.

With AdSense, you have thousands of advertisers bidding for the opportunity to advertise on your blog, and all you have to do is add a small piece of code to your blog. Once you've done that, the rest of the process is completely automated.

You are compensated each time one of your visitors clicks on an advertisement. Once Google has collected the money from the advertisers, they will issue you a check (usually every month).

This arrangement is advantageous not only because it is hands-off, but also because you are dealing with a reputable company that you are confident will actually pay you on time and in full.

What Kind of Money Can You Expect to Make?

The amount that you can make from AdSense depends on three factors:

1. The number of visitors to your blog

This one should be self-explanatory. More people who visit your blog means more people who click on advertisements, which means more money for you in the long run.

2. The advertisements' visibility

When you embed the AdSense code into your blog, you have the option of selecting the type of advertisements you want to display (large images, small images, text, etc.) as well as where you want them to appear. The more prominently displayed the advertisements are, the greater the likelihood that they will be clicked.

You must, however, strike a balance between displaying the advertisements prominently and the possibility of annoying your readers. We have all visited blogs where the content is difficult to read because of the large number and size of advertisements.

Getting the most out of your blog requires striking a delicate balance, which you will have to experiment with in order to get the most from it.

3. The topic on which you are blogging

The final factor affecting your AdSense income is the subject matter you are blogging about on your website. This is due to the fact that advertisers will pay more to be featured on certain blogs than they will on others.

For example, if your website is about golf, it is likely that your readers have a comfortable financial situation.

As a result, there are a large number of advertisers who want to place their advertisements in front of your readers, and they are willing to pay a high price per click in order to do so.

In comparison, consider a blog dedicated to Justin Bieber. The majority of the readers of this blog are likely to be teenage girls, who typically do not have a lot of purchasing power. As a result, advertisers will most likely pay less per click as a result of this.

Each of these three factors will have an impact on how much money you make. It's difficult to predict exactly how much money you will make, but a high-traffic blog on the right topic has the potential to generate several thousand dollars per month.

Of course, many people earn significantly less than this, and some earn significantly more than this. Some top AdSense publishers are said to earn nearly $2 million per year solely from AdSense, according to estimates.

Please keep in mind that earning money from your blog will take time and effort.

After all, there's a good reason why learning how to start a blog and make money online is the final step in my tutorial.

If you want to increase your chances of earning a substantial income from blogging, you must make certain that you have completed all of the previous steps completely.

This will not happen overnight, but most bloggers find that the work itself is rewarding enough to keep them motivated to continue on their path.
