5 Ways to Monetize Your Blog in 2019

It sounds so easy. Start a blog. Make money from it. Be your own boss. Live anywhere. If you’ve ever started a blog and attempted to grow it into a money-making machine, you know how hard this is – how hard it is to consistently write, attract new readers, and come up with interesting ways to monetize. Never fear, help is here! If you’ve been dreaming about turning your blog into a business, here are five strategies bloggers are using in 2019 to make money. While most strategies require you to have thousands and thousands of readers, these methods can be profitable even if you have a smaller audience.

Affiliate marketing works best when you only promote products that will benefit your readers — the ones you would recommend even if you weren’t getting paid. With that in mind, when you come across products, services, or apps you think your readers should know about, find out if the company has an affiliate program you can join.
