Updated February 10, 2021/ Revised October 4, 2021

Are you a blogger?

If so, normally you are likely to be interested to earn money through your site. In the first place, let us consider “How to monetize your blog fast without even ads?”

You will see how this is done. Here are the steps one by one.

Instead of making money, your blog is for some charitable purpose, you can skip.

Indeed, in our main topic, there are three conditions. Given in the title namely:

• You want to Monetize your blog site,
  • Get fast results and
    • Not going to spend on Advertisement

 

How Traffic helps to earn through your blog

The first condition is income. 

What is necessary to earn money is indeed traffic.

Here is a quote from none other than ‘Neil Patel’

” blog gets over 10,000 monthly unique visitors- then- yes? it’s relatively easy to monetize. And create a nice revenue stream with it.” Neil Patel

(His claims: a top influencer on the web. Forbes says that he is one of the top 10 marketers. And Mr Patel is a very well-established Digital Marketer and coach.)

So, it is necessary to bring at least moderate traffic to our site. In other words, we need to concentrate on traffic.

How to generate traffic? Consequently, you ask this question. Content that people are searching for is the answer.

Content and Blog Writing

Generally, bloggers write Content for various purposes. Like for educating people on some subject of your expertise.

Video scripts, email, social media and so on. But here we are considering web page copy only.

To write good content or a blog, you need to select a topic that people want to read.

So, Keyword search is for finding that need.

Keyword and Long-tail Keyword

A general keyword may attract a lot of traffic. But then the competition is huge and ranking is extremely difficult. Moreover, you can not cover all the topics.

What to do is, select a long-tail keyword. Dealing with a specific area of a broad topic. By making it more focused and offering it to a very special group. They are interested in it and you are able to attract niche-specific traffic easily.  

Quality of Content

Content is king is the adage among digital marketers. But context is God. (Gary Vaynerchuk) Contextual content only attracts maximum views.

Certainly, write authentic, valuable blogs. And offer it on your SEO-enabled website to attract more traffic. 

Therefore, generating traffic should not be a problem. Ensuring your contents are high ranking in SERP pages is the first thing. The second is also getting many backlinks. Because back-links are an indication of quality.

That said, your traffic alone may generate revenue from ads you publish on your site. Revenue from ads publishing would be a small amount. The next best would be Affiliate Marketing.

We will briefly see about the nature of traffic.

Types of traffic.

There are two types of traffic. 

• 1. Internal Traffic
• 2. External Traffic

That which is in our control is Internal traffic. It is when a browser clicks in search engines a link to our page and is directed to our site. Therefore direct traffic is when someone clicks on our post from SERPs. 

External traffic is from a source external to our site like other websites, embedded in YouTube, or through a referral. This traffic not in our control is external.

All the traffic you control and in your purview, paid and unpaid are left out from consideration. Only organic traffic is taken into account. We are only interested in monetizing without Ads.

SEO marketing is increasing visibility and ranking high in SERPs. Naturally, when people see your post listed on the first page of Google, driving traffic to your site (organic) is a cakewalk.

Email Marketing

You do it by capturing emails of visitors to your site and building a list.

Nurture these by offering them valuable information, tools, and drawing attention to developments in the industry. These are termed as ‘Lead Magnets‘.

Make them feel your presence and accept you as a friend empathizing. When such emotion is aroused they accept you as a thought leader willing to help them. And in the process monetization will become easy.

Social Media Marketing.

Promoting your content on social media to your target audience and sharing the content in the form of written, audio, and video formats. Let it be relevant. Those who come to this, call them the cold audience (browsers who have heard about you).

And a warm audience is those who know about you but have not purchased any product yet. They have recognized your brand. They future customers.

The hot audience is those who purchased and have become your customer.  You need to adopt a different approach to each category and write suitable content.

Content Marketing

Through the content, you establish a relationship with your reader, that is easy to keep up. This form of marketing is unique, and the conversion is high.

Niche Marketing

It is another way of identifying your target audience. Whatever product or service your audience is searching for, you identify that. When it is the same, with your chosen Niche, prospects rush to you.

Target them to address your message. They are ready to take it. Here the additional trick is to position yourself as an expert through your in-depth knowledge. Give them valuable content they are ready for buying from you.

Writing a very well researched book helps in this process. (Milgram’s law ‘people obey blindly whatever the expert commands’ )

Affiliate Marketing

You find a product or service, that is completely satisfying to you. So, it is your desire to share your experience and recommend it after your use, with an idea to help others.

However, if you do not find the product satisfactory you would not recommend it. So, on your recommendation, people buy that product or service. You earn commission as an affiliate. The trust people have in your recommendation is essential. You need to maintain it at all costs.

Affiliate Commissions

However, the amount of commission varies hugely. So you must choose carefully
