What other options would you recommend?

Hey there Ceci. Thanks for your comment. There are definitely several options to monetize blogging. I tried to cover some of the easiest ones to follow. As you mentioned it is not just about the direct sale, you can definitely provide quality content and use email marketing, for instance, to nurture the relationship with your possible prospect and make the sale at a later stage. All that it matters is the VALUE. If people will receive value from your blog they will do come back eventually and will make purchases when the time is right. Cheers

People come to your site because they are usually looking to solve a problem. Rewarding them with good content will usually make them want to come back. SEO brought them in, content engaged them and even though they may not buy the first time around, affiliate maketing (and possibly Adsense where used) would also have created some engagement – 4 of your tips ! Sponsor blogging will eventually occur as authority increases.
Great interconnections.

Hi Kavitha. Thank you for your comment. I do love Affiliate Marketing as well. Happy I could provide you some additional tips. Cheers

hey Yvonne, and thank you for your comment. As an Affiliate Marketer, you can really leverage your blogging skills. There is training that provides all the important tools to teach you this valuable skill.

Hey Josephine, and thank you for your comment. Indeed, if you want to have a regular and decent income from Adsense you should really have a traffic counting in thousands, unfortunately, it is like that. You also should think about the user experience, as too many ads could be annoying for users and therefore it might lead to the counter effect. There are indeed other options (you can use them simultaneously) that are requiring less traffic.

As you pointed out Stephanie. If you can connect writing about something you love with earning money from it, what could be best, right? That is one of the great things about the online world, you have really endless topics and ways how you can connect with your audience and eventually how you can monetize your effort.  

Hi Rose, thank you for your comment. 

Blogging is not just writing, post, and earn. Even though if you experience a huge volume of traffic and you are relevant then at a later stage you can be experiencing that flow. 

Most of the time is blogging consisting out of several little components, as mentioned in the post. 

I am really happy that you see the complete picture as well.Cheers

Hi Boi. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comment. The AdSense creator is definitely an interesting (with increasing demand) area for people interested in earning from blogging.  The harder part is to gain the skill. But once you are skilled you can find many assignments. 

If you go that way, I wish you just the best of luck. Cheers

I do appreciate learning about other ways to make money from blogging. The good news is that they can be combined, and so it is possible to have multiple earning streams. Thanks for sharing.
