How do I become a WordPress Blogger and make money?
WordPress controls over 30% of all the websites and it is the largest publishing platform on the earth. So, one can become a blogger and earn money through WordPress. But, there is no quick technique. This needs time, patience, consistency, dedication and tons of hard work, so if somebody says, they make you rich quick. That’s a scam!
So, if you are blogging for money and you are a beginner, setting a WordPress website takes less than 30 minutes, and it’s free. Once you have a website, the easiest way to make money are advertisements.
- You can insert ad plugins which will require you to sign up on the platforms like Adsense or WordAds, once its approved you can begin ad display on your website.
- You can also go for direct advertisements but that will require you to reach out and negotiate with respective businesses. Platforms like, BuySellAds can help you with direct ads.
- The other way is to go for affiliate marketing or referral options where you will be paid per click.
- Donations are also done through modes like Paypal or other donate buttons, where you explain why they should donate and how it can help you. It’s like building a community where people reach out and help.
- Freelance writing can be another way if you are a talented writer. Write reviews, columns, articles and you can get paid for those. Many companies demand such writers.
