In this article, we have covered some legit ways to double or triple your earnings other than showing ads.

And we want to start the discussion with blog failures which are one of the factors to quit blogging beginners.

Why do Beginners quit Blogging early?

Every day about 7.5 million blog posts are published on the internet, which is a huge opportunity for content creators.

Bloggers are publishing content with the hope of performing well (best) in the SERP and providing value to the people.

80% of beginners due to late indexing of websites and low monetization quit at an early stage (patience).

But if you manage to pass 6-8 months publishing quality content on your site then you will start earning from your blog.

5 Powerful Ways to Monetize Your Blog / Website

We are here with the 5 most powerful and legit ways to monetize your blog (site) other than Adsense or Ezoic.

1. Affiliate Marketing

This is one of the biggest streams of passive income of Bloggers to which helps them earn even while sleeping.

It is a marketing program used by brands to market products, services, etc., with the help of affiliates who advertise their products through links provided to them from the brands which help them to analyze their link performance and earn commissions.

About 84% of bloggers use affiliate marketing as a source of monetization of their blogs.

Too bloggers are earning more than $100k from affiliate income and largely depend on it.

When to start Affiliate Marketing?

It’s never late to start affiliate marketing on your blogs.

But I would recommend you to start adding links to your website after you have published at least 30-35 blogs on your site.

As it is not good for beginners to waste their crucial time at the start, as it distracts the novices from publishing blogs.

How does affiliate marketing works?

After completion of each blog content, relevant affiliate links are added to the blog for the improving user experience and a passive income source for the blog.

The users get relevant product recommendations and links to buy without wasting time at zero cost. And,

On the other hand, bloggers earn a small percentage commission of every successful product sale.
