2: Write and Self Publish eBooks on Amazon

Give your eBook out for free for at least 1-2 days to boost reviews and downloads.

3: Create Courses

Build an outline for your course. Consider adding video, audio, text and infographic elements to help course students.

 

4: Accept Sponsored Posts

Accept sponsored post revenue to add another income stream to your blog.

As with the below mentioned advertising revenue channel, you will need to drive a high volume of targeted traffic to inspire advertisers to pay for sponsored posts on your blog.

Only accept sponsored posts which serve the needs of your readers. Stay on sponsored post topic and if you want to stay out of Google’s doghouse disclose the sponsored post and make the link nofollow.

 

5: Advertising Revenue

Earn advertising revenue through Adsense or other 3rd party platforms.

Increase your ad revenue by:

  • Increasing your blog traffic
  • Targeting advertisements for your readers

Do not depend on ad revenue alone to earn a full time income. Advertising profits flow in slowly if you don’t drive a heavy volume of targeted traffic to your blog.

Add this as a secondary or tertiary income stream until you generate high daily traffic numbers.

 

6: Freelance Writing

Offer freelance writing services.

Write content for bloggers who have no interest in churning out blog posts.

Or perhaps you can co-write or even ghostwrite an entire eBook.

Freelance writing is a good match for any blogger because if you’re developing your writing skills you may as well earn money for your craft.

Be a hired freelance writing gun.

7: Co-Create Audiobooks

Once you write an eBook convert it to an audiobook via acx.com to increase your blogging cash flow.

Upload the eBook PDF. Listen to producer auditions. Pick a voice over specialist who you prefer to speak the audiobook into existence.

After the producer wraps up the audiobook simply confirm their work and make sure to check the option that distributes the audiobook on iTunes, Amazon and Audible.

More busy people these days are listening to audiobooks versus reading eBooks during their commutes or daily tasks at home. Capitalize on this trend and boost your blogging income.
