My monthly online income reports, where I showcase how I make over $30,000 a month from blogging, are some of my most popular posts. I enjoy reading income reports on other websites to learn more about making money from blogging, and it seems like many of you do too!
If you’re thinking about starting your own blog, check out my tutorial on How To Start Your Own WordPress Blog. Keep in mind that making money on a free Blogger or WordPress blog is usually much harder than on a paid WordPress blog, so I highly recommend switching to WordPress if you want to earn money from blogging.
Almost all of my monthly income comes from blogging or related services. As a result, many readers ask me how I make money blogging. It makes sense because when I discovered that blogging could be profitable, I reached out to bloggers who shared their income reports. I loved blogging, so if I could make money from it without annoying my readers, why not?
Blogging is still something I love, and it now pays my bills. I can’t imagine how my life would be if I hadn’t started blogging. Initially, I started my blog to track my finances and improve my life, and everything took off from there.
Blogging isn’t an easy way to make money. Many bloggers quit after six months because they don’t realize how much work it involves. Also, many people don’t make any money from blogging, and those who do often put their heart and soul into it.
The title of this article, Ways To Make Pennies, Hundreds, or Thousands A Month By Blogging, reflects the reality that some will only make pennies. That’s the honest truth. When I started, I made very little, but I didn’t give up, and it grew from there.
I love blogging, and you won’t know if you love or hate it until you start. If you want to learn how to make money from blogging, you first need to start a blog.

Here are different ways to make money from blogging:
**Affiliate Income**
Affiliate income is a great way to make money with a blog. It involves placing an affiliate link in a blog post and earning money when people buy the product through your link. This can be a good way to make money because if you love a product, you just review it and hope others are interested too. This income can feel passive because a review article can attract readers for years.
There are many affiliate programs like Flex Offers, Commission Junction, EJunkie, Amazon, and more. If you enjoy a product, there’s probably an affiliate for it.
– Max Bounty: One of the largest affiliate programs out there.
– OfferJuice: I use this for many survey companies I promote.
– Avant Link: Highly recommended for various companies.

**Paid Posts/Advertisements/Sponsorships**
Paid posts and advertisements involve placing ads on your blog in exchange for money. This could be a sponsored review, guest blog post, sidebar link, newsletter ad, and more. Advertisers want to gain new customers and may seek no-follow or do-follow links.
**Izea**
IZEA is a company I used a lot when I started blogging. If you have a blog or social media accounts, signing up for Izea can help you make extra money. You get paid when companies advertise through your blog or social media. They partner with big-name companies like Marriott, Netflix, Walmart, Kraft, and Lego. It’s an easy way to make money, so check out Izea.
**AdSense**
AdSense is an ad service from Google that places ads on your website. You get paid per click and impression. It took me a while to see results, but it was exciting when I reached my first payout. Experiment with ad placements to see what works best for your site.
**Write an Ebook**
Writing an ebook can be a way to make money if you’re an expert in an area or have valuable information to share. It requires a lot of time, and not everyone profits significantly from it, but it can help expand your audience and offer a free product to your readers.
