But wouldn’t it be amazing if you could turn your blogging passion into profit right from the get-go? Well, there is some good news! Monetizing your blog from day one is totally doable and possible, and I’m here to guide you through the process in simple and beginner-friendly steps.

Choose Your Niche Wisely: 

The First thing is to pick a niche that you’re passionate about and that has the potential to make you money. Whether it’s entertainment, travel, fashion, food, or personal finance, technology,  pets, agriculture, make sure there’s enough interest and demand in your chosen niche.

It’s important to choose a niche that will help you make money faster and has lots of monetization opportunities.  For instance; technology niche, personal finance,  business niches has lots of monetization strategies in the sense that you can make money from affiliate links, sponsored posts, collaborating with top tech and business companies,  selling digital or physical products, getting higher cpm from any ads networks like adsterra,  AdSense,  ezoic,  monetag and others. 

Most niches won’t give you this opportunity, that is why you need to be careful when choosing a niche. But the main thing here is to have a business mindset,  if you have a business mindset with your blog, you can even integrate all of these monetization features to your entertainment blog and Still get businesses that can contact you.

Create Quality Content: 

Like they will always say, Content is king, Focus on creating high-quality, valuable blog content that resonates with your target audience. Whether it’s informative blog articles, engaging videos contents, or captivating photos, make sure your blog content adds value and keeps your readers coming back for more.

I know some of you might be saying you don’t know how to write or maybe you don’t have time to write on your blog.. you don’t have to worry about that because there are lots of tools and strategies that will help you achieve even 6 to 7 figures monthly from your blog without writing the articles yourself. 

How to make money from a blog monthly without writing?

You can still generate lots of monthly revenue from your blog without writing a blog yourself.  I have some students,  clients and subscribers who are not into writing articles but they have their blog websites fully monetized and generating their revenue monthly. How do they do it?

They hired paddedvibez media team of writers to write a specific number of blog articles,  this ranges from 30 to 50 seo optimize articles or more. They make payments and these articles are being written and published on their blog websites for revenue.  All the revenue they generate from their website both from ads networks, affiliate links, cpa, sponsorship etc are going back to them as the blog owners.

You see how possible it is to make money from blogging without writing.  Alternatively you can utilize ai tools like chatgpt, writesonic or gravity write to generate your articles.  But the problem here is that most people don’t know how to edit AI generated content thoroughly.  They just generate and publish to their blog which will kill your blog traffic and seo.

I have created a full video guide on my YouTube patreon.com/paddedvibez page on how to write an seo and well optimized article that drives traffic to your blog website.  To access that, join our vip membership tier on patreon.com/paddedvibez which is just $15 per month to access all my premium contents and mentorship.

Set Up Your Blog: 

The Next thing to do is to set up your blog website. This is where most people’s failures begin.  Some people are so mean and stingy to even themselves. Don’t be stingy with your blogging business because you might end up wasting years without making any money because you want everything to be free.

There are free blogging platforms and paid blogging platforms.  If you want to just blog without making money, go for free platforms but if you want to turn this into a full business,  go for paid platforms.  It’s important to invest in your blog by developing a standard website blog that has all the features you need to succeed in this space. 

Choose a user-friendly platform like WordPress CMS, Contact a developer to develop your Website blog for you, and this will cost you just a of a few bucks, nothing less than $300 capital, when this website is developed the developer should be able to integrate ads to your website for revenue.

Ways to monetize your blog from day one.

Start Affiliate Marketing: 

Like you already know that Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to monetize your blog from day one. You just need to Sign up for affiliate programs relevant to your selected niche (e.g Clickbank, Amazon Associates, ShareASale) and promote products or services through your blog articles using affiliate tracking links. You’ll earn a commission for every sale or action made through your affiliate links.

I recommend shareasale because it’s available worldwide, user friendly and easy to make money with.  With numerous affiliate and cpa marketing products and offers to select from, you can earn from pay per lead,  pay per sale and pay per click commission system. I have made a comprehensive video guide on how to maximize your earnings on ShareASale on my YouTube channel,  go check it out now.

Display Ads:

Another popular monetization method is display advertising. You only need to Sign up for ad networks like adsterra,  monetag, Google AdSense, ezoic or Media.net and place ads on your blog website. I recommend adsterra,  monetag and HilltopAds for all beginners that want to start cashing out from day one.

Make sure to choose ad placements that are unobtrusive yet visible to maximize your earnings so that your readers won’t be chased away because of too many ads. And don’t use all ads at the same time. Remember, the more traffic your blog gets, the more you’ll earn from display ads.

Offer Sponsored Content: 

As you’re growing your blog and consistently publishing articles, people and companies are seeing your blog and they are waiting for your growth so as to do business with you. Once your blog gains traction, you can start partnering with brands for sponsored content opportunities. 

If they haven’t contacted you yet, you can Reach out to brands relevant to your niche and offer to create sponsored posts or reviews in exchange for payment or free products/services on your blog website. Just make sure to disclose any sponsored content to maintain transparency with your audience or readers.

Sell Digital Products: 

If you have valuable knowledge, product or expertise to share out there, consider creating and selling them as digital products like eBooks, files, online courses, or printables. You can either create your own products or partner with other creators through platforms like Udemy, Gumroad or Teachable. Digital products offer a passive income stream and can be a lucrative monetization strategy for every blogger.

Monetize with direct links and CPA offers

Most people don’t know that they could be crashing out big by just embedding a direct link or cpa offer on their blog post. You only need to find ad networks that offer direct link advertising like adsterra,  monetag,  HilltopAds, popcash etc or cpa platforms like Cpagrip,  shareasale, cpalead, golden goose etc. 

Then copy the link from each of these platforms and embed on your website header, footer or blog articles, the more people that click on these links, the more money you make. This is simply,  you only need to be strategic and do it organically so that it won’t look like you are stuffing links on your website blog. I have made a video guide on this on youtube @ mins john francis. 

Engage with Your Audience: 

Last but not the least, don’t forget to engage with your audience. Like you already know that this is your business,  if you have a customer base and you are not giving the right customer support, I don’t think your business will grow.

 It’s important to Always Respond to comments, emails, and social media messages, and build a strong rapport with your blog readers. All my Youtube subscribers, blog readers and audience always know that I’m always at their Email inbox, whatsapp chats and dm whenever they need me. And most of them know that not every influencer or youtuber can do that. 

So you need to follow in my footsteps knowing that The more connected your audience feels to you, the more likely they are to support your blog through subscription, purchases or donations.

In conclusion

Monetizing your blog website from day one is totally achievable with the right strategies and mindset. By choosing the right blog niche, creating valuable blog content, and leveraging various monetization methods like cpa/ affiliate marketing, display ads, sponsored content, and digital products, you can start earning from $500-$1500 per month from your blog right away. 

And as your blog grows, the revenue also increases.  Remember, patience and persistence are key, so you need to  keep experimenting and refining your blogging approach until you find what works best for you.
