If you have opened a blog on a free blogging
platform like blogger, and your blog has started
commanding good traffic, the next thing you
might want to know is if its possible to monetize
a free blog and how to make money with a free
blogger blog.
The answer is a capital YES, you can make
money with a free blogger blog. But for the
amount of money you can make… I can’t tell.
Reason I can’t tell is that it all depends on you.
It depends on how hard you are willing to work,
how many hours you can put in and the quality of
contents you are able to deliver.
Your main focus as a new blogger should be
engaging your fans with quality contents. The
best way for you start a blogging career is to put
your audience ahead of any monetary benefits
involved.
There are several ways to monetize your free
blog, among which are; displaying of ads on your
blog, affiliate income, and selling personal stuffs.
Now let’s look at how each of these works.

How to make money using
blogger.com
1. Displaying of Ads on your blog
You can make money on a free blogger blog by
displaying of Ads on your blog. There are several
advertising companies you can register with so
you can display their ads on your blog and get
paid. The biggest in the game when it comes to
making money from a free blog is Google
AdSense.
Google AdSense is an advertising company
owned by Google as the name implies. They
have been in the game for a very long time.
Google also happens to own blogger, which
makes it easy for them to accept your free
blogger blog into to their AdSense program.
However, a lot of preparations are needed to
meet up with their program requirements if you
don’t want your AdSense application to be
rejected.
There are so many other alternatives to Google
AdSense when it comes to displaying of banner
ads on your blog. If peradventure AdSense
refuses your application or you just want to
register with more than one advertising company,
two other popular options are, AdThrive and
Media.net. They are all free to join.
But how do you make money by
placing ads on your blog?
After registration with any of the above
mentioned advertising companies, they help you
with adequate tutorials on how to install their
banners on your blog. When people visit your
blog and they see an advertisement they are
interested in, most time they click on it. Clicking
on these ads by visitors to your blog is what
generates your earnings.
2. Affiliate income
Affiliate income is generated from affiliate
marketing and sales, it is one of the easiest
ways to monetize your blog. All you have to do
is to sign up with some of the biggest affiliate
programs around like, Amazon Affiliate Program,
AvantLink, ShareASale, etc.
Mind you, for you to be able to register for these
affiliate programs using a free blog, your blog
must be well optimized and irresistible.
However, it’s a lot easier for you to get approval
when you register using a professional looking
blog set up with a custom domain.
How do you make money from these
affiliate programs?
After you have successfully registered for these
affiliate programs, you are given unique codes to
place on your blog where you want their banners
to appear (you’ll be provided with adequate
tutorials). When people click on those banners
and make purchases, you get a commission. For
instance, I will get a commission from a sale if
after listing an Amazon eBook on my blog, a
reader clicks on it to view what it’s all about, and
ends up making a purchase of that eBook.
What makes it even better is that, after buying
that eBook, if he/she sees a phone he/she likes
on Amazon and decides to buy that phone, I also
get a commission from that sale, because the
buyer’s URL will indicate that my blog is the
referral. All purchases made by that person on
Amazon though out that particular visit, I get a
commission from it.
A good way to promote affiliate products on your
blog is by offering review on those products. If
for instance I read a book that explains how to
make money online, I can choose to offer a
product review of that book on my blog,
highlighting a few things I’ve learnt from the
book and how they too need to read that book.
The important thing is not to overdo it. You
should not offer reviews on a products just
because of the commissions you get from
purchases of that product. It must be because
that product will add value to your audience.
Because if you offer a review on any product
that’s not worth it, it might end up costing you a
dear fan.
3. Selling of personal stuffs (e-
commerce).
For me this is like the best way to make money
with your free blog, because you get to keep the
whole money realized from the sales. There are
a lot of personal stuffs you can list on your blog
for sale. Things like ebooks, your unique designs
(if you are a graphics designer) or some of your
best stock photos if you are a photographer.
Things you can sell are not limited to those. You
can decide to sell some of your used stuffs that
can still be valuable to someone else.
4. Freelance writing
When you start publishing blog posts regularly,
it’s like displaying your portfolio on your blog.
Your unique articles will go on to show the world
just how knowledgeable you are in your blog
niche or topic of choice. Some of the visitors you
get may decide to send you emails requesting
that you write a blog post for them on your
niche, which is a good opportunity for you to
make money online.
I have covered the major ways you can make
money from your free blog, I hope you are now
able to choose which of them you think will work
for you best.
