4 Ways To Make Money As A New Blogger
Some of the links in this blog post are affiliate links, which means I make a small amount of money at no cost to you. Thank you for supporting my family!
Ahh, Blogging. So many people have a love-hate relationship with it, and I completely understand why.
If you start out as a hobby and truly like to write, then it’s definitely not as bad. But if you are looking to start a side hustle, IT IS HARD.
If you are just starting out, I feel you. Here are some easy ways to start making money as a new blogger, and I encourage you to keep going because it will be worth it.
1. Reward Style
RewardStyle is the platform behind Like To Know It, where you are able to link almost anything and everything for your followers to buy, and you get a kickback of commission. You can share these links in blog posts, you can share them on social media, and you can create content to share on LTK.it.
2. Sell Your Own Product
Create content to sell! If you don’t want to pay the fees or put it on your website, sell on Etsy or even on Instagram! Digital Products are great for bloggers! Here are some ideas:
- Calendars
- Planners
- Templates
- Schedules
3. Join Affiliate Programs
There are some affiliate programs that are great for brand new bloggers or content creators. They aren’t massive payouts or pay in products, but it’s a great way to get started. Here’s a list:
4. Write For Other Platforms
In order to grow your blog (aka make money), you should write every day for at least 15 minutes. If you are only posting blog posts 1-2 times a week, you will have some extra time to write other things. You can then write about anything + everything, and even try out different styles! Here are a couple of platforms you can try:
Another honorable mention would be Ads, but honestly, if we are being real until you get up to 25-50,000 visitors, then they don’t make a whole lot of money. If you are interested, Pinterest has some great blog articles on Ad platforms for new bloggers!
I hope that this has been helpful for you, let me know what other things have worked for you, or if you end up trying any of these things!
