 1 Sell freelance writing services

Let us start with the easy way - you love writing? Get paid to write for others. This is perhaps the easiest and best way to get started.

If you are not sure which niche blog to work on, you can spend your time writing for others.

Not only will this provide a good and steady stream of income, but you'll also learn about different niches as you work more.

To sell your freelance services, you can register on freelancing websites like PeoplePerHour, Fiverr, Freelancer, and Upwork.

If you know how to play with words like an expert, you can charge at least $50-75 per article.

Believe us when we say that there is a shortage of good writers in the digital world, and you will find several takers if you know where to look.

Of course, there's nothing stopping you from becoming an instructor for other aspiring writers after you have spent the tedious hours improving your own skills and knowledge. And that's the next way you can make money blogging.

2 Consulting/Teaching

Some of the experienced bloggers you know charge no less than $500-1000 per hour for their consulting services. You may wonder how they get such high paying clients.

Once you make a name for yourself in the industry as a successful blogger, you could easily get people to pay for your experience and knowledge.

We are often approached by people who want to learn more about blogging, growth hacking, digital marketing, etc.

People struggle with finding the right niche, the right marketing strategy, or understanding how their content should be formatted to get the best possible engagement/conversion.

You could help multiple people with insights and proven tips.

3 Get speaking gigs

Now that you have offered your services as a freelancer and know how to teach, it's time to take the next step.

While you can earn $100-500 per hour as a consultant or lecturer, you can easily charge $300-1000 for a speaking/public speaking gig.

Organizers do not hesitate to pay big bucks for insightful speeches that can lead to productand service sales.

However, not every blogger is a good public speaker - so do not rush into it just yet.

Even if you do and it does not go well, that's not the end of your journey. Just remember what you are for - your passion for blogging and the benefit of making money from it.
