Make money blogging
Here are some common ways to make money on blogs
One is to add Google ads and other advertiser alliances to display ads to make money
One is to add product links and get product commissions to make money, such as Amazon Alliance
One is to sell your own virtual products, such as courses, e-books, paid consulting services, etc.
One is to sell memberships, and some content is only available to members
Some others make money by selling their own physical items, mainly their own e-commerce products, which is more difficult
Google Ads
Currently, this blog has added Google ads
However, there are very few ads in this blog, and they do not affect the reading experience. Ads only appear outside the content
I hate adding ads to the content of articles, because such ads will cut off long articles, and some readers may even think that ads are part of the content
There is also a very annoying ad, which is a forced pop-up ad when you open the webpage, and you can only continue to view it by clicking to close it
The more ads that affect the experience, the more money you make, but you have to balance ads and reading experience
As long as the revenue from ads is close to the cost of the server, it will help the author to produce more high-quality content
If there is no revenue at all, the quality of the content will also decline
Commission Products
I currently have 3 commission products
One is the domain name namesilo, one is the cloud server vultr, and one is the Amazon product Raspberry Pi
The benefit of the commission is that the buyer can get a certain discount, the seller can also get a certain share of the profits, and the service provider also gets a transaction, which is a win-win result for all three parties
Tips
As a programmer
I will also develop independent apps (maybe independent games in the future)
Blogs can also be used as a channel for website promotion (making money through software subscriptions)
