If you’re new to the world of making money online and blogging then probably the best way to get started is by starting a blog on Blogger. Blogger is a free blogging platform from Google. There are quite a few other free blogging platforms where you can start your blog. But, Blogger has certain advantages over other platforms. Blogger is the most popular free blogging platform. It is easy to use and anyone can use it without much technical knowledge like HTML.
So what are the ways to make money with a free Blogger Blog:
1. AdSense:
This is the most popular way to make money with a blogger blog. Since both AdSense and Blogger are owned by Google this was the obvious choice in the initial period for the Blogger blogs. But, for the last few years, AdSense has become very conscious about the quality of the websites in their program. Now, it’s not easy for a new blog(particularly from India because of the high level of click fraud happening by Indian webmasters) to get accepted. So, if you’re just starting your blog then try to add at least 10-15 posts, do keyword research, SEO optimize your blog and build traffic and then apply for an AdSense account.
2. Amazon Associate Program:
Blogger lets you add Amazon modules easily to your blog. Also, Amazon products are very popular. So it’s not that tough to make money with them. But, from my personal experience, I can tell you, rather than simply putting Amazon modules on your blog write product reviews and include affiliate links to that Amazon product. This gets better responses from the readers.
3. Affiliate Programs:
There are many affiliate programs that you can promote using your free Blogger.com blog. Programs like ClickBank, and Commission Junction are very popular and reputed companies. If you can learn the tricks of affiliate marketing then this is the most lucrative online business for anyone.
4. Sell Advertising Space:
Once your blog becomes popular you can then start selling advertising space directly from your blog. Or you can take the help of online advertising marketplaces, in this case, these marketplaces take a share of the total revenue.
5. Write Blog Reviews:
Paid reviews are one of the best ways to make money from your blog. There are many websites that offers you money for review of their advertisers’ product or services. More popular blogs can make handsomely from every review they write.
There are many other methods of monetizing your blog. These methods can be applied to any type of blog.
