Monetizing Your BlogEmily Caddell
Step 1
Find a web host. The most important aspect of monetizing a blog is being “self-hosted”. This means paying for a domain name that will belong to your blog, rather than blogging for free.
BlueHost is a reputable hosting company.
Hosting costs between $50-100 a year.
Step 2
Install Wordpress. Wordpress is a blogging website.
Install the new domain on to the Wordpress plug-in.
There are other options for a blogging website, however, Wordpress is very reputable.
Step 3
Start posting! After posts have been made and the blog has a lot of readers, you can apply to have ads on your webpage.
Ad companies differ but will pay certain amounts per ad and page views.
Step 4
Once your blog is somewhat successful, companies will pay for you to blog about a product or their company.
These posts have the potential to make more money.
Congrats! Your blog is monetized and you
are on your way to making money!
