I originally started my blog because I thought it\u2019d be a fun way to try new products and see new things before they hit the market. I didn\u2019t really consider earning money with my blog as a possibility. As I started to grow, I noticed more people asked me how I make money as a blogger. <\/span><\/p>\n

My first response was always ads. I mean, at the end of the day, it\u2019s true. Ads are the surefire way to earn passive income. These aren\u2019t necessarily just banners. They come in the form of affiliate links and brand partnerships.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll outline a few ways you can earn money as a blogger, many of which I\u2019ve tried myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Make Money as a Blogger<\/span><\/h3>\n

Banner Ads with Ad Networks<\/h4>\n

My first experience with making money on the blog was with banner ads via Google Adsense. A lot of people say it’s really not worth it if you don’t have a ridiculously large traffic base, and it may be true some days, but I’ve always seen consistent earnings from them.<\/p>\n

If you’re publishing great content and you’re a “clean” blog, Adsense does a great job of retargeting ads for your readers. They display relevant content that readers actually want, so they’re more likely to follow through on a click.<\/p>\n

This steady trickle allows me to cover basic expenses of running a website, like paying for monthly hosting and for maintenance. It’s not something I’m making bank on, but it helps when you’re running a business with expenses. And we all know, these expenses need to be covered somehow in order for us to keep producing great content.<\/p>\n

That said, you can also sell ad space to brands interested in displaying on your blog. Check the current rates per view and adjust your rate accordingly. I typically offer rates on a bi-weekly and monthly display basis.<\/p>\n

Affiliate Links<\/h4>\n

Most fashion bloggers use affiliate links in their posts. Affiliate links basically allow you to earn a percentage of a sale from a company. So, if you’re talking about specific brands often, it makes sense to put in an affiliate link and have a stab at earning money from any sales.<\/p>\n

One of the most prominent affiliate networks for fashion bloggers is RewardStyle. You don’t earn money on the clicks from them, but you do earn money from sales. ShopStyleCollective is more like a banner ad since they pay per click (CPC basis). RewardStyle is more like a traditional affiliate network since they pay cost per sale (CPS).<\/p>\n
