You may think that making money from blogging is a complex process — and, in many ways, you’re right.

But there are actually a few simple tricks that can help you boost your income.

One of the most effective is to simply format your blog posts in a certain way. Format might not seem like a big deal, but it helps me make up to $5,000+ each month.

Here are 5 blog formatting tricks I use.

The Blog Formatting Tricks That Make Me 5K

I use what I call “Visual Speed Bumps” to get a longer average read time on the articles across my portfolio of websites.

  • Increase the time spent on the page
  • Improve retention rates
  • Boost engagement
