Monetize Your Blog

Not everyone starts a blog to earn an income, but it is a driving force for many bloggers. If you fall in that camp, know that pet blogging won’t make you rich overnight. In fact, blogging in general is a long game that takes consistency in creating fresh, new content; connecting with and supporting other bloggers; building a loyal, engaged audience; and developing your brand, style, and voice. And all of that is before your first paid campaign! Be patient and work hard.

When you first start blogging, your primary focus should be on creating content, promoting content, and building your following. While you’re doing that, it’s smart to be thinking about your monetization strategy if you want to make money from your blog.

So, how does a blog make money anyways?
