First!
How do these bloggers make their money?
There are definitely some similarities with the way our fellow bloggers on this list make their crazy earnings.
There are really only six different ways they are making the majority of their big bucks.
Here they are:
- Affiliate Marketing– Where you share a commission with other companies and get a percentage of the sale. This is a win/win for all. The customers, the blogger and the company.
- Advertising – Companies pay you to host an ad on your blog.
- Sponsored Posts – Where companies pay you to post something specific on your blog. i.e. a review, an infographic, a blog post.
- Selling Digital Products (Courses and eBooks) – Creating a valuable course or eBook on a topic and selling that information to your readers
- Selling Physical Products Online – Same thing as above except you’re selling something tangible. This can be anything from t-shirts, beauty products, accessories, educational resources, and more.
- Selling Printables – These can be both digital and physical products.
This is how the vast majority of successful bloggers make their money. Join my community to unlock access to all the resources you need to succeed online.
