Chp 10: Blogging Dollars & I Cuss Some More

In an effort to be less.. depressing, I'm going to try to do a few info blog posts. This is the crap I'm looking at, because I'm broke.

1. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a way to earn a little extra while sharing products. I'm annoyingly honest... I puke it out when I'm nervous. Hopefully, readers understand that I won't share things that I don't use. I also do talk shit about things that I've tried and hated (I'm looking at you Plottr). Right.. affiliate programs, you can promote products through special links. If your readers click on those links and make a purchase, you earn that bread!

2. Sponsored Content

When you bitches share my shit and I get more views or however that works, brands might take notice. They will quickly lose interest when they see how much I cuss etc, but you might have a chance!! Basically, you tell people what's up with the brand's stuff in a review or tutorial, but keep it honest when it's sponsored. Everyone can tell!

3. Sell Digital Products

I love LOVE printables on Etsy. I've spent too much time making spreadsheets that have already been created. You want $3 to save me 10 hours of work? Fuck yes, take my money. You can do the same. If you have a special approach to outlining or whatever, throw it on Etsy and it's an easy passive income. You get it, expand on that idea.

Memberships

This is a weird one for me, but I guess I'll share it. Membership or subscription that allow readers to gain access to the fancy content. Platforms like Patreon make this super easy. It's just not my jam, do you though.

5. Display Advertising

Ads are where it's at. I hate the pop-ups on websites, but we all expect them, so why not? Programs like Google AdSense allow you to display ads on your blog, and you earn money based on clicks or views. Try to keep them to a minimum though. Pretend this is the early 2000's and data is mad expensive and slow. Less is more kinda thing.

6. Freelancing

Use your blog to show your skills, and get some freelance work. Honestly, this makes me nervous, but I guess most things do. It's another way to fuck something up. But again, I'm fucked in the head, so this might really work for you.

7. Email Spamming

Ok, this is legit though. In order to show that you have the views, having a good email list is going to help you get better sponsored content etc. Plus, if people sign up for emails from you, it's because they want to hear from you, so why not? If you're pumped about something, they might be too. If they aren't then they can unsubscribe and burn in hell.

So that's it. A real post with some actual stuff going on. I need to find a Chrome extension that counts my curse words, it could be fun.

Love,
