A spike whenever i launch a new product And i promote it to my audience the last Product that i released to date was my Content creation challenge that kind of Teaches you how to come up with one year Of blog posts in one month and it's a Mini course challenge That i launched for early 27 Um at the end of last year and i made uh Six thousand dollars just in the launch Week so you do have like spikes when you Launch new products but my biggest Earners to date have been my ebooks both The books that i have on my website that I sell separately and my amazon ebook And you wouldn't believe how much you Can earn through small digital products That are quite like easy to put together And Distribute and they are just such great Tools to One really teach your audience something Valuable that you couldn't really teach In just one video or one blog post and Two really boost your blog income so That's where i saw my blogging income Really take off when i started launching Digital products and i have a bunch of Content on this on my blog because i'm Really dedicated to helping as many Women and as many people as i can Publish their first ebook the third way That i make money online with my Business is by offering coaching
Services i have made to date Sixteen thousand nine hundred and twenty Seven dollars from it offering services Is such a great way to kind of get Started and monetize especially in the Beginning if you are still struggling to Get the traffic to make good money with Affiliate sales or your own product Sales you can offer a multitude of Services online i didn't start offering Coaching until i was like three years Into my business and i actually had the Experience to teach other people but you Can offer other services such as va Services copywriting freelance writing Whatever you're good at and i know You're probably thinking this is a Little bit cliche she makes money by Teaching other people how to make money Blogging But over the course of the years i have Worked with people from all sorts of Different niches from organization to Personal style Travel politics i've worked with Bloggers in pretty much all the niches Out there and i've also launched a Second blog that's a peplog that has Thing to do with the blogging and online Marketing industry and i know that the Strategies that i teach work because not Only have i tested them on my own blogs But i've also seen my clients run with Them and have success within their own
Niches i personally love working with Bloggers one-on-one and helping them Navigate through this maze of what it is To build a successful blogging business But just keep in mind that services are Borrowing your time for money and They're not very scalable so in other Words they're always a limit on how much Work you can take on or how many clients I usually have a cap and a waiting list For my coaching services because i can Only dedicate so much time to it per Month While my affiliate marketing and my Digital product don't have a limit of How much i can sell because the product Or the course that i've created is Already there it doesn't really matter How many new students enroll i have Already done the work to build the Course same goes with affiliate Marketing or ads of course you need more Traffic and you need that to grow but Your work goes towards that while your Affiliate offers or your ads are already In place ready to earn money speaking of Ad a revenue mine is literally quite Pathetic and nothing to brag about but Since i started blogging i have earned a Thousand eight hundred and eighty two Dollars with ads so as a little Disclaimer my traffic is not huge i Don't have a an enormous amount of Traffic i have between 25 and 30 000
Sessions per month coming to my blog the Reason why i'm able to make a full-time Living with that is because i've been Very strategic on how i monetize it And how i turn that and convert it into Paying customers and ads just isn't a Very scalable business model so when it Comes down to it i would rather earn Ninety dollars for somebody enrolling in One of my courses or even five or ten Dollars from an affiliate purchase Rather than make a couple of cents per Ad visitor or click for my ad block so I've been very minimalistic on purpose When it came to my ad placement and i've Really kept them to a minimum The next way that i've made money Vlogging with my small website over the Years is through sponsored posts and Working with brands i have earned a Thousand two hundred and eighty-four Dollars through that and that is through A variety of content that i've created For them either for my instagram Or my blog I did a couple of posts with social Native which is an influencer app for my Instagram a while back while i was still A lifestyle blogger and then i partnered Up with a couple of tech and blogging Tools for my website to create content Relevant to that so unlike sponsor posts Where you get paid once and then never Again for that work with my affiliate
Promotions i'm able to write a blog post About something and then if i continue Bringing traffic to it i will continue Earning affiliate incomes based on the Sales i bring even if it's two years Down the line after i wrote that article So when it comes to working with brands I prefer an affiliate sponsorship but There will be ways that you can combine The two so if you ever work with a brand Definitely ask if you're able to also Join their affiliate program that way You can earn money uh once for being Paid to write the content and then Ideally on an ongoing basis based on Your affiliate commission now the last Way i have earned money blogging is Through offering freelancing and va Services i have earned 440 dollars this Was back in 2019 where i briefly decided To offer a pinterest management service And i had i think one client i then Decided that it wasn't something that i Was gonna want to spend a lot of time on And i close down that service and focus On my coaching services instead and also I worked on developing my pinterest Ebook so i can help a lot more people at The same time this rounds up my income Report to a total of And 150 Seven dollars This was attained over course of four Years and a half but again keep in mind
