How to Make Money Blogging with Blogger Merch
New blogs are popping up every day offering irresistible content that’s hard to compete with. Between business blogs, lifestyle blogs, even personal blogs, it’s easy to get lost in the crowd. If you’re like any other blogger, you’re probably wondering if there’s room for profit within your niche.
TRUTH: It doesn’t matter what kind of content you’re posting or how big your following is, there’s always opportunity to make money through blogging.
While larger, well known blogs may be more lucrative between ads and sponsored postings, smaller blogs still have plenty of room for profitability. How? By creating and selling custom merchandise.
Getting Started with Blogger Merch
Before you jump into selling merch, it’s important to know how to go about the process efficiently. It’s not worth it to buy merchandise in bulk and hope everything is sold for a profit. Instead, I’d recommend using a print on demand solution like Spreadshop.
A platform like Spreadshop allows bloggers to create and sell merchandise in their own online shop without any costs, fees or overhead. Your only job is to upload designs and promote your merchandise, everything else is taken care of. When a sale is made in your shop, you’ll collect commission and your orders will be printed, fulfilled and shipped to your customers at no cost to you.
By using a print on demand solution, you can focus on blogging while watching your shop profits grow. Plus, your shop can easily be embedded into your website as well, so the customer journey is fool proof.
Designing Your Merch
If you’re blog is fairly developed, then you probably have a logo and a color scheme that you’re sticking to. It’s important that your designs reflect your brand so its easily recognizable when someone is wearing your merch.
Designs promoting your blog could include anything from your logo, to a quote or saying you frequently use, even designs featuring imagery from certain posts. If you’re stuck on design ideas, there are always creative services that can be used. Spreadshop offers a low cost design service, that’s made many merch shops look polished and professional.
Promoting Your Merch
As a blogger, you’re probably posting content every day. Whether it’s a blog post, a social media post or any other content form, people are going to be exposed to what you’re sharing. By incorporating products from your merch store into your content, you can broaden your blog audience while increasing your profit as well. Every time someone wears your merch, it’s like a billboard promoting your brand. Don’t miss out on the opportunities that merchandising has to offer. You won’t regret it!
