In this modern era most internet users are familiar with blogs because whichever subjects you may be interested in, you are bound to have come across several niche-specific blogs. However in this article I want to talk about how you can make money from your own blog, and finance-related blogs in particular.
Financial blogs are very popular because they can incorporate a wide range of different subjects such as stock market investing, saving, mortgages, loans, credit cards, forex trading, etc. Therefore you are unlikely to run out of things to talk about.
The trick is to pick a subject in this very large niche that you are most interested in. This will ensure that you don't end up getting bored with your blog and giving it up altogether. If you are still constantly adding content to your blog in several years time, it is highly likely that you will be making a decent amount of money at that point, because you will have hundreds of pages of content showing up in the search engines.
So how can you make money from your blog?
Well there are three main ways. The easiest way is simply to add pay-per-click ads to your blog, either in the header or sidebars, or within the actual content itself. Most people use Google Adsense but there are other programs you can use. The great thing about this method is that you earn money every time a visitor clicks on one of these ads, so your profits really start building up once you start getting a decent amount of traffic, particular in the finance niche where advertisers are prepared to pay several dollars per click in some instances.
An alternative way to make money is to sell advertising space directly to specific advertisers. This will usually generate additional income because you don't have to share your revenue with a third-party network. However you do have to actively find these advertisers yourself.
The final method is to use your blog to sell products and services as an affiliate. In other words sell other people's products and earn a commission for each sale that you generate. This can be highly lucrative, particularly in the finance blog because there are lots of different offers you can promote such as trading courses, bank accounts, mortgages, loans, credit cards, etc.
So as you can see there are several ways you can make money from running your own finance-related blog. I personally prefer the affiliate marketing model, but it's worth testing each method out to see which is the most profitable method for you because every blog is different.
