When Should You Start to Monetize Your Blog?There’s no concrete number out there for how much traffic or how large an
email list should be to make money from your blog because that all depends on what you sell and how you sell it.
However, having two things straightened out first will help you a lot:
- Get steady traffic: You don’t need tens of thousands of visitors but at least a thousand visitors a month means you’re doing something right.
- Grow your email list: Again you don’t have to aim for anything crazy here. We’ll show you examples of people who had a small list but still used it to their advantage.
Now these two things matter, but primarily, monetizing your blog efficiently is all about the numbers.
For example, if you need to make $6,000 from your blog, you can:
- Sell a $200 product (say a course) to 30 people.
- Sell a $600 course to 10 people.
- Become an affiliate partner with brands offering recurring commissions (hit the $6000 mark at your own pace).
- Or even charge $6,000 for consulting with a client.
Monetization is math, not magic.
This doesn’t mean that the key to monetization is simply increasing the prices of what you sell. Rather it means that you should
choose a monetization strategy that aligns with where your blog is right now or where you want it to be in the future.
In this Mind map, we’ll show you how you can monetize a blog and make money online whether you get thousands of page views a month or you’re just starting out.
We’re going to show some solid strategies other bloggers have used to generate revenue from their own blogs in diverse niches and teach you how to do the same with your own blog.
