If you’re wondering how long it
takes to make $500 per month blogging, you are not alone. This is a great
question and a common one that many people ask when thinking about making money
with a blog.
It is easy to generalize and say, “Well
it depends.” Yes, there are several factors that you must consider when
providing an estimate.
Overall, I would say with consistent the effort, you could begin making $500 per month blogging within 8 to 12+ months
of starting your blog.
The great thing is, you can make
much more than that. That being said, let’s cover what it takes to create an
income-generating blog.
Why Does It Take Forever To Make Money
Blogging?
You have to remember that generating
traffic with a blog is a matter of using SEO (search engine optimization.)
SEO requires time for your blog
posts to begin ranking well in the search engine results.
In the grand scheme of things,
waiting 8 to 12 months or longer to begin making consistent sales is not a long
time.
We put so much time and effort into
working for someone else. In many cases, most of us have spent YEARS working
for other people.
Doesn’t it make sense to devote time
to our own online businesses? Dedicating at least a year to generate a
consistent online income that can produce income for many more years to come
seems very worth it to me!
Does Blogs Still Make Money?
There is a myth that blogging is
dead or an obsolete way to make money online. That couldn’t be further from the
truth. How do I know?
Blogs still make money and good
money if you’re willing to dedicate the time to create content.
A niche blog is a type of blog that
focuses on one topic. There are millions of niches to choose from.
I always recommend choosing a niche
that you have an actual interest in. You don’t have to be an expert in the
niche.
As long as you are willing to
research and learn more about the niche, you will have plenty of great content
to create for your audience.
Some niches to consider can include:
·
Parenting
·
Personal finance
·
Health & wellness
·
Relationships
·
Lifestyle
·
Fashion
·
Cooking
The niches above are fairly broad. You can (and should) sub-niche
as much as you can. For example:
·
Easy meals to cook to lose weight.
·
Raising a family on a budget.
·
How to save money and build credit.
· The best recipe to use when cooking.
·
Ways to keep a healthy relationship.
etc
How Do Blogs Make Money?
There are several ways that a blog
can make money. One of the most popular ways is affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is the promotion
of another company’s products and/or services in exchange for a commission when
a sale is made.
Other popular options to monetize a blog also includes display ads, CPA offers, and selling your own online courses.
My experience is in affiliate
marketing. It is my preferred method of making money with a blog.
It is also one of the fastest ways
to get to the $500 per month mark. The reason being is that you don’t need a
ton of web traffic to begin making affiliate sales.
As long as you are targeting a specific niche, even a small amount of web traffic can convert into affiliate
sales.
People Do Ask How Long Should I Wait to
Monetize My Blog?
You will read varying opinions on
this. When you create a niche website, begin monetizing immediately.
Get an affiliate product picked out
that you plan on monetizing the blog with. Also, begin adding your affiliate
links to your posts as you write them so that you won’t go through the stress
of having to go back and be adding them later.
The only exception is if you plan on
being an Amazon Associates affiliate
(Amazon.com’s affiliate program).
If you are going to monetize your
blog with Amazon products, I prefer you to wait until your blog is getting some
traffic before adding your Amazon affiliate links, like up to 1k traffic per month.
The reason is that Amazon does have
an approval process and you want to have the best chance of being approved by
having a somewhat established website.
If you want to monetize using Google
Adsense or display ads, you will need a significant amount of traffic and page views
to make some income.
Most display ad networks will not
approve you until you can meet their requirements in terms of the number of
page views or traffic that your website gets.
Keys to Earning $500 Per Month Blogging
Once you have learned how to earn
$500 per month with your blog, you can continue to earn as much as you want. It
is a matter of continuing to implement the same things that got you to $500
dollars.
The things that I do on a regular basis to earn a consistent income with blogging include the following:
Blogging Consistently
·
I blog a minimum of 1 to 2 new posts
per week. The more content that you create, the more opportunity your blog
posts have to rank well in the search results.
·
It is also important to create
helpful content suited to your niche. You can find out what people in your
niche are searching for by using keyword tools or Google’s autocomplete search
feature.
Using Calls-to-Action
·
Placing good calls-to-action within
your blog post content is essential for boosting conversions. A call-to-action
is text or graphics that tell your visitors what to do next. For example,
“click here to get started” and linking that text to your affiliate link.
Promoting Your Content
·
Besides creating great content, you
will want to promote it too. This is accomplished through social media. One of
my favourite ways I promote my content is on my Facebook, and Twitter Wall
& Pages.
My Closing Thoughts On How to Make $500
Per Month Blogging
Reaching the five hundred dollars
per month mark is not impossible. Keep in mind that it requires your hard work
and dedication.
Making money with a blog is not fast
money. It is long-term money. Meaning, the work you put in today will pay off
for many years to come once your blog gains traction.
