To recap how I want you to think about how to make money blogging, look at it this way:. Close high-end consulting deals. Which is easier? Ready to make money blogging? Yes, you absolutely can make a living blogging and it can be very lucrative.
However, the harsh truth is that the vast majority of bloggers do not make enough money to support themselves. During the early days, bloggers should offer consulting and coaching services to earn a higher income in exchange for their time.
Since traffic levels are low at the beginning, turning those visitors into customers with a higher-priced offer makes the most sense.
After you have some steady consulting income rolling in and traffic levels increase, bloggers can then add affiliate links, digital products, and ads to their blog. The amount of money that bloggers make varies widely. According to a ProBlogger Report , earnings per month are broken out as follows: 1.
Different income streams require different tax liabilities. For example, if you sell products on your blog, you need to collect sales taxes only if your customer lives within your tax nexus in the US, this is typically the state you reside in.
Most ecommerce platforms take care of these calculations for you. If you generate income from affiliate programs, the companies you are promoting treat you as a independent contractor. No matter your entity type, you need to use accounting software and keep a good record of your books for tax season. You can start out as a sole proprietor and include your income with your personal taxes. However, once you start making a sizeable income, there are tax advantages to creating an LLC or S Corp.
Another wealthy blogger is Michael Arrington, the founder of TechCrunch. By scaling your content strategy, conducting ongoing SEO site audits , and outsourcing aspects of your writing process, you x your backlink acquisition and Domain Authority DA. Finally, by choosing the right high-end blog monetization strategies from Day 1, you can make life-changing money as a blogger within 90 days, not five years. I hope this article helped you learn how to make money blogging.

Hey David, you can find individual freelancers on Fiverr and other sites like that.
I posted a job on ProBlogger and got a lot of applications that way. Hope that helps! I need to work on guest posting and developing an email list. Thanks for this! It helps a lot! Hey Jasmine, thanks for the comment and the kind words.
I currently use ConvertKit and OptinMonster for email list growth. Hey Adam — Love this post! From the email template you included in this post, just want to confirm, does this mean you guest post for each site multiple times a month? If so, how many guest posts do you typically do for each site? I often just contribute once to a site and never again.
Others I may do a few times or monthly for months. That way I can get links from a number of different sites.

Hey there. Greetings from this side. This is a brilliant article. I really enjoyed reading this. This is truly insightful to your readers. Much thanks for sharing.
Thanks Adam for the informative content. You recommend picking niches that make money even if you have no passion for them. Does this mean you recommend outsourcing all the content creation even for the first five blog posts you mentioned? Hey Anthony, good questions. I would say that you need to pick a niche that you have either leverage or professional experience in. Go with your strengths. If you were to develop a personal brand and be known for one profitable thing, think about what that would be.
For the first five posts, I wrote those myself as I think it is important to get some writing experience under your belt so that you know how to format posts, what to provide your freelancer, etc. I hope that helps!
Thank so so much for this info. I just started a new blog from the scratch and hopping i will soon become a blogger like you. Thanks for the post. Adam, I am happy i found your blog. It gave out the real core insight on how to be successful blogging. I joined many top blogging site email lists to see what exactly, how they are doing their marketing and making their money.
I found yours was different and unique. Others seem hesitant to tell you the real stuff. They just want to sell you down the line through affiliate links. The first time i read your blog, i verified what you said by checking your DA 76 , Blog age, i knew you know what you saying.
Wow, thanks so much — your comment means a lot. And I agree with you on the key of high DA guest posting and link building. Since my site is in the marketing niche it requires it, but lots of others can be successful with much lower DA links. You seem like a master of SEO. Do you have any SEO courses or how to guespost? Would love some help and guidance please: x. Hey Sadia, thanks for the kind words! For now, I have a product called Backlink Blueprint that provides some guidance and may help.
I just started a new blog from scratch and hoping I will soon become a blogger like you! Great Stuff! I must follow these ways to make money through my blog Thank you for sharing.
You obviously have the experience. For someone like me, however, my area of expertise is writing itself, as a profession — I have been a ghostwriter and author of both books and articles for the past 11 years a few awards for my writing and my clients , before that a screenwriter award-winning also, and one produced film.
That said, both of those areas seem so saturated with online experts that I wonder if either would be a viable platform from which to launch. Your thoughts? Hii, really a good and helpful content.

I learned a lot from your blog about blogging. Keep it up, I appreciate you. I am a small online jewelry artist, that is looking for ways to earn extra income by selling something intangible. The coronacrisis has dried up my sales as people are panicking and I am taking these 3 weeks of lockdown to think of ideas for another business. A way to earn income for my family of 5, but no longer selling actual products that Amazon or aliExpress copies and sells for much less.
I want a digital product. But what topic? I have a background in biochemistry, but am providing as a small business owner in jewelry for 12 years now. I am quite good in google ads. What combination is that, hahaha, biochemistry, google ads and pendants. Sounds like a Quentin Tarantino movie. Through the corona panic, hitting small businesses hard, i want to look back in a few years and think this was the turning point in my life. I just have no clue where I could add value.
Can only think of google Ads tips for small business owners, but those are hardly high end customers…. Lidia, please email me at adam at adamenfroy dot com. I feel your story and was there at one point. Please connect with me there and I hope I can help. This was very informative.

In any case, I am planning to start a new blog about a profitable niche, faster profit-oriented, and will follow your tips. In any case, all sounds very confusing.

The one I enjoy much is How much can you make blogging. Like many successful influencers these days, her content covers a bit of everything. They wanted me to create some fashion content for their clothes and created a special link for each piece that I could promote to my followers. My deliverables to them were: a word temporary 2-week blog post, 3 consecutive permanent Instagram posts and 5 swipe-up Instagram stories with outfit breakdowns.
They were so pleased with the content quality that they booked me again for a swimwear campaign that I created video content for.
They only sent clothing. I am all about presenting a great final product, so in order for my vision to come into fruition, I needed to have all accessories from that company to effectively show followers that it is a one-stop shop for all fashion needs. I calculated all of that into my price. I also had to hire a photographer for this one. When I am working on higher-paid projects, hiring a professional is a must for me. Quality is key. Exclusivity : This campaign did not contain any exclusivity or in perpetuity rights.
How long did the post need to stay live : Two weeks. I have had many huge brands that I know for a fact make enough money to pay influencers still try to get over on me with not wanting to pay me, or pay me less than my worth. Make sure that you are reading every single line of the contractual agreements sent to you. Being knowledgeable is highly important. Be sure to send thank you letters to previous clients that booked you. Reach out to the PR and marketing companies.
They are the ones who have the clients with the money. Last, keep a good reputation with brands by making sure that you present good quality and meet your deadlines.
It never hurts to get content to them before the deadline date. Trust, it will definitely be a good look! I own an agency and had to close it down until quarantine is lifted throughout all of the U. It has definitely been tough. I had to think smarter and not harder and make great use of my time in quarantine.
Ashley Dorough specializes in fashion and body acceptance content. Based in Atlanta, Dorough is entering her fourth year of creating content and blogging, and shared that it took her one year to get her first paid collaboration. Deliverables : One Instagram post, two Instagram story sets three-plus frames each , and one blog post featuring 10 items from the brand and her own styled outfit from the brand.
How long did the post need to stay live : Indefinitely. That being said, I also feel that in order to really commit and dive in to what is required to build a loyal, dedicated readership, it almost needs to be your only focus in the form of work. I worked my job and did my blog on nights and weekends for the first year, and then I started getting paid jobs so I felt comfortable going full time [with blogging].
These creative individuals have been hired by big brands to do the same scope of work that in the past, an entire crew would have been hired to do. I also want to point out that the more you put into this job, the more you get out of it. How much you get paid per post depends largely on the size of your audience and the level of engagement the audience has with your content.
I know, it hurts my soul to even type that out. Generally, blog niches about making an income make more than others because the average market price for the products is higher. Your readers, who believe it or not are real people, are going to see right through you. You will also enjoy it SO much more! I think the focus on content consumption in our society has turned us into a bunch of over-thinkers who take little to no action.
