Once upon a time, there was a girl named Emily who had just started college. She was a bright and ambitious young woman, but she had never been in love before. That is, until she met Daniel. Daniel was charming, confident, and had a smile that could light up a room. Emily was smitten from the moment she laid eyes on him. They started dating and it wasn't long before they were inseparable. But as time went on, Emily began to notice some things about Daniel that bothered her. He was often late for their dates, and sometimes he would cancel at the last minute. He also seemed to have a wandering eye, checking out other girls even when Emily was right there beside him. Emily started to feel like she was second best, like Daniel wasn't really that into her. But whenever she tried to talk to him about it, he would charm her with his smile and she would forget all about her doubts. Things came to a head one night when Emily went to surprise Daniel at his apartment. She walked in to fin

How to make money with a blog?
In this blog post, we'll talk about how to make money with a blog. There are several other ways on how to make money. But let just focus on 5 ways on how you can make money with a blog;
- Affiliate marketing
- Register with advertising account
- Provide services

1) Affiliate marketing
What is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate marketing is the process of earning income or commission every time you promote someone else products or services to others, and they buy it.
Your job is only promoting the product via a link, and when someone clicks the links and purchase the product, you will get a commission.
Some of the most popular affiliate marketing in Malaysia is, Involve Asia and ACCESSTRADE. Apart from that, you could also apply as an affiliate for Klikjer.com and NetKL Network.
Other than that, if you have a tremendous follower from all around the world, you can apply affiliate marketing worldwide such as eBay, Amazon, ClickBank, and more!
What so fun about affiliate marketing is you can earn while you sleep, but not to forget that it took hard work to make it happen!
2) Register with an advertising account
An advertising account is a third party, where it is the easiest way for a blogger to earn money. With this, you don't have to worried about who you wanted to hire or which ads you wanted to put in your blog. Among the advertising services worldwide is Google Adsense.
Your blog must be reviewed first for 3 to 6 months before they approved to be in monetisation to register under the advertising account.
To apply for Google Adsense, you must have several criteria to allow your application accepted. Some of it is that you must have a domain, your blog must be at least 3 or 6 months old, and having a blog post content of at least 5 to 10 posts.
Monetisation benefits are that you allow the ads to land on your blog site, and when people visit your blog and click the ads, you get revenue. The higher the traffic is, the higher the revenue you would get.
3) Provide services
Provide service or selling service is also one of the ways you could make money through blogging. You can sell your skillsets to anyone. For example, you are outstanding in editing a photo. Therefore, you create a blog that related to your expertise which is a photo editor.
When people love your work, they will hire you or ask for collaboration with you. In that way, you earned money from ads, affiliate and added with your skillsets. That will make you a lot of money!
Another example is that you could provide a service such as checking grammar, plagiarism, writing content, and more, depending on your expertise. By that, you can start to work independently and be your own boss.
4) Sell Digital products
Choose to not advertise any of the other ads or applying for affiliate marketing. You can also make an income by selling digital products such as eBooks, online courses or workshops, and others. Nowadays, people are more prone to sell their ebook because it is much easier, although time-consuming.
A digital product is a product that you sell online but doesn't have a physical form or come in any substance. It's all on your laptop or phone. But, of course, you can print it out, for example, an eBook.
Let's say you have mastered blogging tips, or you are an expert in starting a blog that makes money on day 1. You can begin to create an eBook, consisting of how to start a blog, step by step constructing a blog and more of the topic in one book. You can sell it for around RM15 to RM30 per book.
It would be much expensive for an online course or workshop compared to an eBook because you invested your time to create an online system for a week and came out with a brilliant idea. Therefore, the course or workshop is mostly around RM100 and above that.
Imagine that your follower or reader like your content that gives benefits, surely they would like to buy your product and learn from you. 10 peoples times with the courses or eBook you created could be worth enough.
5) Get paid to write a reviews
Get paid to write a review is the same as sponsored post; you can also make money by writing a paid review on your blog. By writing a review, you get to try out a product and get paid for it. This is simply like what the Influencer or the YouTubers were doing.
But instead of speaking and making a video about the product, you write about the product. For the sponsored blog, you can apply for it, and some of the company will pay you based on the traffic you get every month.
Some company proposed to the blogger to collaborate for a sponsored post. Meaning that they pay you to write good content about their product, and you share it with your reader or follower.
Conclusion:
But, here is the truth, to start a blog won't promise you a large amount of income if you only depend on one method. Creating a blog is easy, but having a lot of traffic and expect them to buy your product is not a promise. Therefore, to have a successful blog, you have to plan it well.
