How to Get Paid for Blogging

Blogging is a fun thing to do, but you can actually make money from it too. Earning money by blogging is quick and easy and anyone can do it. You don’t even need awesome writing skills, just some enthusiasm and expertise on a particular topic.

There are two ways that you can make money from blogging. The second technique below is easier to get money fast, but the first technique is better if you want more longer term stability.

1) Make Money With Your Own Blog

This technique involves setting up your own blog. The idea is that you will setup a blog about a very specific topic that you are knowledgeable about. It is important to choose a topic that you can actually write about. Don’t just pick niches that might pay better, because if they are boring, you will end up writing a bad blog.

It is essential that your blog has energy and enthusiasm. This is only possible when you are writing about something you are passionate about. Some writers can pull this off in any niche, but I can tell you that it’s hard work writing about bland topics.

OK, so once you choose a topic, you need to get your blog started. You can either buy your own domain name and install a blog or use a free service such as blogger.com. Starting out with Blogger is recommended because it’s so simple. You just sign up, choose a blog name and you can start posting. If you go with your own domain name, you will also need to buy hosting (around $5/month) and you will need to install blog software, such as WordPress (free).

Once your blog is setup, the next step is awesome content. Don’t worry about making money from the blog too early. That will come later. Initially you need to build up the content and the user base. Once you have a decent sized user base, then you can consider the monetization options. You can learn more about blog monetization here.

Once you get your blog established, try to build relationships with other bloggers in similar subject areas. This can help boost your exposure and traffic. The more links that you get into your site, the higher you will rank.

2) Write Blog Posts and Get Paid

If you want cash for your blog posts, the quickest way to do this is posting for others or writing blog content for websites. Usually the content will be sold and then posted to one or more blogs. The content will most likely not be tagged as yours and you won’t be able to build your own profile using this strategy.

You can make great money doing this. I know of many bloggers that are earning a few thousand per month by writing for others. They usually have their own blog too, from which they earn another few thousand. You can earn anywhere from $5-50 per blog post. This can start adding up, especially if you are writing 20-30 blog articles per day.
