Are you thinking about starting a blog and want to make money from it? There are thousands of bloggers around the world in all kinds of niches making a full-time living blogging.

For instance, my friend Tiffany from Beautiful Dawn Designs runs a craft blog (and even inspired me to start crocheting!). She’s been blogging full-time for years and has always been one of my favorite bloggers.

You can make money blogging in a variety of niches. If you have an idea for a blog, check Google or Pinterest to see if someone is making money from that niche before you get started.

*If the blogger has a published income report, I’ll list it.

How do blogs make money?

Blogs make money from affiliate marketing, ad revenue, sponsored posts, memberships, and selling digital or physical products.

Affiliate marketing is making money by referring a product or service. For example, I am linking a course right now called Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing.

I’m an affiliate for the course and get a commission for referring it to others.

Ad revenue is making money by scrolling through a blog post and seeing ads or clicking on ads. This blog post you’re currently reading has ads in it.

The more page views I get on this blog post, the more ad revenue (money) I’m making.

Bloggers get paid to talk about a product or service via sponsored post. Here’s an example of a sponsored post with Tuft & Needle. I make a large portion of my blogging income from sponsored posts, which you can learn more about here.

You can also make money via memberships.

For example, Ivory Mix is a stock photo website. For a monthly fee, you get access to thousands of stock photos you can use on your blog. Another great example of a membership is Grow You.

Grow You is a life coaching membership for women. Both Ivory Mix and Grow You are great examples of memberships you can offer on your blog.

Selling digital or physical products is a great way to make steady income from your blog. For example, Create And Go is a site about starting a blog.

They sell a course called Launch Your Blog Biz. You can also sell printables, planners, guides, and other digital products.

Is blogging for everyone?

Making a living from blogging is so fun and fulfilling, but it’s also hard work.

I recommend blogging to anyone who isn’t afraid of hard work and is willing to put in the effort and commitment to a blog.
