Transcripts
making money online it's a very exciting
topic it's motivating it's inspiring and
it's fun to dream up what we can
actually make happen with our blogs and
our content you know if we keep going if
we keep publishing content because
really this guy is the limit to the
amount of money you can make online if
you are consistent in this video I want
to have an honest conversation about how
you can actually make money blogging in
2023 because as I have alluded to in my
updated blogging videos here on this
channel the world of blogging has
changed the monetization strategies for
blogging has also done just that changed
so what I want to do today is go through
the ways that you can make money with
your blog the common ways that bloggers
make money and I really want to talk
about how the different strategies have
changed and how you should in my opinion
Implement them into your monetization
strategy so that you can be able to make
the most money the most Moolah cash De
Niro so that you can get to that freedom
lifestyle quicker the Cozy pajama
lifestyle that we talk about a lot on
this channel but most of all I want to
double down on the most lucrative ways
to make money blogging in 2023. more on
my favorite strategy soon let's Dive In
when people think about making money
blogging a lot of people go straight to
display ads like that is the most common
way that people make money from their
blogs and articles by putting up display
ads so basically the way you would
monetize with ads is join a ad Network
such as Google AdSense mediavine which I
am a part of I thrive as zoic I think is
one and these networks will help you to
add a code on your site now of course
the amount of money that you make
through ads is highly dependent on the
amount of traffic that you're getting to
your blog if you're getting a lot of
traffic you're gonna get a lot of money
paid out to you by these ad networks and
it also depends on the network that you
join how much you get per click and per
view and some of these networks will
also have traffic requirements so when
you are just starting your blog it's
highly unlikely that you're gonna make a
nine to five type of income just through
ads unless you are getting saying like a
million page views per month but I get
it I get why people want ads on their
sites because it's very exciting to see
those first dollars those first cents
roll in it makes it all feel super
possible I am making money online and if
I can make a few cents I can make a few
Millions I get it it's really really
exciting but in 2023 I would not I would
not put up ads on my site if I were just
starting my blog I would wait until I
met the requirements for ad Thrive or
mediavine and then I would just look at
it as a sweet little bonus because in my
honest opinion I'm gonna say my honest
opinion A Lot in this video traffic
doesn't matter nearly as much as
building a community online that's what
matters that's where your focus should
be in my first year of blogging I had 1
million pages to my blog I had ads on my
site but I wasn't making 10K months I
was making very you know far less than
that I didn't know how to monetize that
traffic and there were just a bunch of
people coming into my website not
signing up for my email list not joining
my community so community and building
your email list is so so important but
what I want to say before we get on to
the next way to make money vlogging is
that yes use display ads as a little
bonus but don't do it just yet if you're
not getting at least 20 000 page views
per month because if you're not it's
just not worth it in my opinion all
right so the next way that you can make
money with your blog is affiliate
marketing now what affiliate marketing
is is you go out there and you promote
other people's products write about them
in your blog post you have links to them
on your resources page you link to them
in emails or on Instagram wherever you
show up online and create content I made
my first five dollars online by
promoting the productivity planner again
very exciting to see that it's all
possible but is affiliate marketing
worth it in 2020 A3 let's see shall we I
think you should look at affiliate
income like you're looking at your
display ads strategy like a sweet little
bonus the cherry on top on the income
that you're already making because
here's the thing you are not in control
of the product tools services that you
provide if the owner of that product
decides to take it off the internet or
cancel their affiliate program you don't
want to be dependent on that they're
going to take away your income I
remember when I started my blog I got
very excited about affiliate income and
it is exciting I signed up for Amazon's
affiliate program and I was so excited
to make all this money but the thing is
if you want to make a lot of money
through affiliate income you need to
promote products that are very expensive
because most of the commission that
you're gonna get I mean it's anywhere
from five to fifty percent of the sale
so the higher the price of the product
that you're promoting the more money
you're gonna get with Amazon Affiliates
it's not very lucrative you're not going
to make a lot of money by promoting and
talking about a low ticket offer on
Amazon for example books but again I get
it you can feel exciting to see that
you're actually making money online but
you're not in control of the products
the only thing that you're in control of
is the marketing of the product it's
just very unpredictable because you
don't have any control so I wouldn't
make affiliate income the only way of
making money through your blog the next
way to make money blogging in 2023 is
through sponsorships writing a blog post
for another business or company to
promote and showcase their products and
services this isn't something that I've
done a lot to be honest it's just not
worth my time my energy because I'm the
kind of person who wants to make money
while I'm watching friends and living my
life and doing other introvert-friendly
activities because with sponsorships
although they can pay bro relatively
well you're trading your time for money
so that's just something to be aware of
I think when you're just starting your
blog it's going to be harder to land
those high-paying sponsorships so in the
beginning I just don't think it's worth
your time all right coming up we have
digital products I Honestly Love digital
products and now I'm not talking online
courses we're gonna get into that I'm
talking ebooks mini guides audio
downloads planners templates PDFs that
you sell on your website on your blog
definitely experiment with digital
products you know take the freebie idea
that you have expand on that and turn it
into a paid low ticket offer this is a
great way to see if your audience are
interested in that topic and are willing
to pay for that kind of product and if
you're basing it off of your freebie
they should already be into that so
that's another thing to think about and
then you can turn that digital product
let's say that you have a goal setting
planner that you're selling for for
twelve dollars you could turn that into
a full-blown course and charge a much
higher price so definitely Implement a
digital product into your blogging
business this is the first thing that I
ever created it was my ebook dream
morning and it gave me the idea for my
first online course the dreamer to doer
Academy may she rest in peace we're
running through these but do not worry I
plan on doing a series of videos of how
to make money online where I dive deeper
into each of these topics I got you then
we have coaching and one-to-one services
this is a great way to start making some
money work with some beta clients to get
testimonials for your method it's a
great idea to validate your method and
then for you to turn that method into a
online course you see where I'm going
with this my favorite strategy for
making money blogging we're getting
there we're getting there we're getting
there now here it is I present to you
the best way to make money blogging most
lucrative lucrative is that even the
right word word my favorite way of
making money blogging I honestly don't
think where you should put your focus is
online courses this plant is annoying
online courses it's the Holy Grail of
making money online it really is it is
the best way to pacify your business so
that you yes can put in the work but
then you can automate the selling of
that product the marketing of that
product and then you can focus on other
things that light you up whether it's
you know actually creating content or
reading a book or going for walks or
traveling the world or spending more
time with your friends and family
whatever it is like online courses is I
mean there's not enough good things for
me to say about online courses it's
honestly the best and I wouldn't be
where I am today without my online
courses it has truly changed the game
and you can scale your business to
unimaginable Heights with online courses
because you can help more people you're
not trading your time for money you can
help more people get the result they
want with an online course this is
exactly why I created her passive income
dream which is a course all about course
creation and my free Master Class where
I also go into this in more depth so
definitely check that out if you haven't
watched it yet but honestly guys there's
just so much opportunity making money
with your blog is still super super
duper possible in 2023 and these are the
strategies that I recommend if I was
starting my blog all over again here are
the steps that I would take step number
one I would obviously launch my blog it
does not need to be perfect side note
step number two create consistent
content write consistent blog posts to
build my audience and my email list very
very important step number three I would
sign up for Relevant affiliate programs
within my Niche to see what my audience
are into and if they are buying on the
side of this I would also create a
freebie and turn that freebie into a low
ticket offer to see if my audience are
into it and if they're buying step
number four I would turn that low ticket
offer or the affiliate program or
product into an online course of my own
then once I get the traffic I would
consider display ads but it's not
something that I would focus on from day
one so that was step number five step
number six continue to publish
consistent and value-packed content to
build that audience and then step number
seven after creating my first online
course I would create a new online
course making it the next best step off
of my first course so her quiet
influence is a course that I've created
it's all about building an audience
that's that first step and then off of
that course I have created her passive
income dream which teaches you how to
monetize that audience see what I mean
so that is what I would do that's where
I would put my focus when it comes to
making money online making money
blogging so I really hope this was
helpful for you as I mentioned I plan on
creating a series all about how you can
make money online and diving into these
Topics in much more detail so that's
coming up on the channel to make sure
that you subscribe and all the things oh
I feel like we rushed through that but I
wanted to give you the overview in this
video and with that I wish you a
spectacular day I'm gonna go and eat
some chocolate have some coffee and just
chill maybe I make a course sale while
I'm doing that we'll see toodles cozy
Vibes and peace outs
