I have a passion to help stay at home moms or any moms looking to make an extra income for their families. So I am here to help teach how to start a blog that you can monetize. In a few short steps Ill give you the run down of starting a blog from the comfort of your bed.
1.CHOSE A NICHE
Starting a blog can be a fantastic way for moms to share their passions, connect with others, and even earn money from home. The journey begins with choosing a niche that aligns with your interests and expertise—whether it’s parenting tips, home organization, or DIY crafts. Selecting a niche that you are passionate about will not only make the blogging process more enjoyable but also help you build a dedicated audience who shares your interests.
2. PICK A DOMAIN NAME AND HOST
Once you’ve decided on your niche, it’s time to set up your blog. How to start a blog the technical aspect… This was the most difficult for me because I am not very tech savvy. But platforms like WordPress or Blogger are user-friendly and offer various templates to get you started. Choose a domain name that reflects your blog’s focus. It can be your name, or something creative that reflects your passion. Next, invest in a reliable hosting service to ensure your blog runs smoothly, I am working with Bluehost. http://bluehost.com Don’t forget to design your blog with a clean, attractive layout that enhances user experience. You can use a free template but I chose to buy a cute one with a clean aesthetic. I found the site Creative Market. http://creativemarket.com They have website templates and so much more!
3. MONETIZE
Monetizing your blog is where affiliate marketing comes into play. Affiliate marketing involves promoting products or services through unique links that track sales made through your recommendations. To get started, join affiliate programs that align with your blog’s niche. For instance, if your blog is about parenting, you might partner with companies that sell baby products or educational toys. Incorporate these affiliate links into your blog posts in a helpful way, such as through product reviews or recommendations.
I recently joined the Amazon Influencer Program and have already been approved for on-site commission. I have made about 20 videos on products that I have around the house. And I’ve made video reviews on products that I have bought from stores that are also sold on Amazon. The past month I made $45 on those videos. I was actually really surprised because the videos took me 30 minutes at the most to make. Even though I posted them weeks ago I am still getting clicks and making money from them. https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/influencers?referrer=aipref-nakishawynn0e-20
Once you get your website published and start posting you can look into google ad sense. Another way to monetize your blog is by placing ads on your blog.
