I love to see how one skill makes me money from multiple sources. If you are into blogging and writing, this article will help you a lot to earn money from different sources.
7 Ways to Monetize Your Medium Blog
- Book — There are two primary ways to monetize your blog with a book: 1) Publish on Amazon and send people to your book. 2) Sell it from your site and deliver it as a PDF. Simply use Gumroad for that.
- An email list — 1) Choose an email marketing provider like Mailerlite, Convertkit, or Flodesk. I use Gumroad. 2) create exclusive content to give in exchange for name and email 3) implement that content on your blog in appropriate places 4) deliver the content via email
- Sponsored emails — There are a couple types of sponsored emails you can use: * fully dedicated email * feature slot:
- Sponsored posts — make an income by having brands pay you a large lump sum to write blog posts about their products or services. I got this only once.
- Affiliate income — focus on blog post topics around how to use the products and their benefits. I do affiliate marketing very rarely. So far the results are okay.
- Exclusive content for a subscription — Here are some ways to create a subscription product for your blog: Patreon: videos, blog posts, polls, other content Facebook groups or other memberships that require payment An app that includes features your blog doesn’t have
- Consulting or courses — This is the easiest one out there. Almost every content creator has a course of their own or consultation services.
Conclusion
We cannot do all.
Even I have implemented a few of them and it’s working for me. So go for a few only and do it properly, consistently.
Choose a few and do it PERFECTLY.
I wish you luck with your Medium journey!
See you soon!
