It’s important as a blog owner that wants to make money online blogging to serve its content through monetization.

It plays a big part in generating more income.

And it can go out to be a joyous thing because your effort towards it didn’t end up as waste.

But you have a big role to play to ensure more money fetch in at all times even while you sleep.

As the big role plays a huge part developing you that as well can be so ridiculous when you have no one converting.

It can be so frustrating when things grow up through that part. Everyone can be down to it no matter how strong you push to stay firm in it.

I realized this just because I have been through it(blogging) so I know how hard these things can be for a beginner.

At the time you think of starting a blog hosted or free then you never sat down to schedule things brilliantly.

You read tons of online articles but how will that help much?

Part of the things you see that branded more of your attention is the way you heard the successful ones speak out on their revenue source.

The brand story stirs you up and makes you want to blog.

It’s fine even the most successful bloggers passed through that so it isn’t new anymore.

By that, they learn through others and later develop their own unique blogging lifestyle which came out to be a reality of making a successful blog.

If you’ve been blogging for a couple of times now, but have yet to see any income, you need to go deeper and figure out what you’re doing wrong.

I know how hard it is especially for a blog that generates a few notches of traffic(fewer than 500 visitors per day), it can be so hard to make money with it.

But if your blog generates slightly over 9000 monthly engaging visitors, it’s quite easy to monetize and create a unique income with it.

Then yes – you can move quickly to monetize it.

By the way, you may likely fall into this category. The traffic of your blog isn’t that impressive I know how your response may be like when asked.

But remember there’re different stages to a blog’s energy cycle.

First, you can’t compare a year old blog to a 10 years old blog – The blogging distance is kinda far.

Secondly, you can’t feed a blog that hasn’t sustain the feeding habitat yet.

It takes time to build an income from blogging.

And no matter what online articles you read all that’s said can’t just gonna happen overnight, it all goes with time.

Then you need to surface in and get your content strategy into work. I can show the way to drive traffic, but you have to be patient and consistent still, and you have to work smartly.

Right now, I’ll show you how to make money online blogging in Nigeria as a student or even with zero capital.

How to make money online blogging in Nigeria 2020:

1. Be a blogging freelancer
2. Sell out e-books
3. Do affiliate marketing
4. Leverage Google Adsense
5. Sell Online courses to make money 

Step 1 Be a blogging freelancer

If you’re in the spotlight, then you already have the tips that can make you one of the successful bloggers and blogging freelancers is the thing.

Freelancer is the most in-demand skills everyone needs in their spec for more helpful taught that grows a brand.

According to a Nigerian, he makes #350,000 or more each month as a paid freelance content marketer.

Brands are desperately requesting for bloggers who are set mind skills. Especially when you can outperform others in your specific field.

Becoming a freelancer blogger can transform your financial instability and earn you more income.

A recent study shows the main trend a freelancer most interested in improving and here’s what Website planet research completely says about it.

In recent times, 64% used the internet to find clients, 35% use the online portfolio to market themselves, and 47% spend less than two hours a week looking for work according to website planet.

More freelancers are leveraging technology to secure clients and the most sophisticated method most freelancers used that works to secure clients.

Although most of them are turning to online market places and the research shows it this way.

So if you are just starting out and you want to secure clients, it’s perfect to try out different sources to see what works out for you.

According to Yokebay, the number of searches on Google at that time, it has shown below:

Most freelancers believe the best way to earn more money online or figures is to do it full time and that has improved them as freelancers.

When pinching out to a freelance writer is a professional who writes for artworks I.e write articles for different topics.

The most gifted ones are skilled at understanding the audience for multiple touchpoints and creating content that triggers them into making a call-to-action.

But, there’s a thing, if you’re to acquire clients and word of mouth you have to invest in social media marketing, consistent blogging, Facebook ads, Twitter ads, and even guest blogging.

You can start out with that and see what comes next.

Step 2 Sell Ebooks

When starting out selling e-books, everyone doesn’t need to convert for your offers.

It can’t just happen overnight, you need to upsell to the relevant ones.

Conversion doesn’t come easy selling e-books but a professional blogger should know how to sell out to make the purchase.

It can be a die-hard thing many people can tell what challenges they face while trying to sell them.

At first, it can take you months trying to sell them without a single conversion.

Secondly, you can have loads of traffic on your blog but have yet to see any income blogging.

I can tell how frustrating that will likely be for you.

Then, how can you make people purchase your offer?

Most times when you’re about selling it’s best to think of how you can have them converting.

You can’t just stick to the community you grew up with, you have to let them know the unique selling point and incentives in it.

People are good at converting to that.

One thing you can use to make them listening quickly to your offers is to do a giveaway.

Freely give out e-books so that they will be the same people requesting for your pay e-book.

And here’s what Sarah did according to Mackcollier.

She held two launch day giveaways on her two blogs to get things started. she then asked many bloggers to review the giveaways on their platforms.

She leverages Twitter and Facebook to create a community around the book.

A trending hashtag for Twitter and Facebook for a fan page. She go-ahead to create a YouTube where she talks about the book.

She had an estimated 10,000 views for her YouTube video. She then started a website related to the book.

The biggest surprise is that she uses the power of free to get the word spread to her incoming fans.

For one day only she offered the book for free to anyone who spread the word via social media platforms.

Now, she has sold 8,000 copies of the e-book in less than two months. At $4.99, that’s roughly $20k a month just off the e-book.

See, word of mouth is the most influential brand you can leverage that makes conversion happen.

Going by that we know YouTube isn’t the thing here(Nigeria) the conversion is extremely poor.

But social media channels should be the thing where you can sell these e-books.

First, creating a compelling landing page on your blog will help in driving conversions.

But if you’re not the blogging type, find a designer to convert it into a PDF and download stream.

Clicking on the link should be enough getting the e-book.

But if you want to do all yourself without leveraging other online selling platforms.

Creating a landing page is the best method you can build on, direct traffic to it with a call-to-action like a download now, sign up now, and many more.

But for conversion to take place, the lesser the price of the e-book, the higher it will convert.

Step 3 Do affiliate marketing

Brands are desperately looking for affiliates that can partner with them to grow their business.

You can use affiliate marketing to upgrade your blogging lifestyle. As it provides more income for you.

To set out almost everything, by signing up you get your unique tracking link and use this link via social media, blogging, and YouTube.

As it is, some affiliate program is based on PPC, you make money online as you direct visitors from your site to the advertiser’s website.

While some are based on PPS, you make money when the referral visitor buys a product then you get paid for your commission.

If you’re wondering how to make money through affiliate marketing then you need to understand how everything works.

First, you aim at the most selling product then I recommend Google trends for this.

But the experience might be totally off the track.

For example, if you’re blogging on “digital marketing” promoting fashion products makes it go off the track.

It’s hard to see people convert.

So as a student or beginner think of the products related to your field.

Write a few things around the product, you can use the product as the main keyword to drive more conversions.

Affiliate products with ad banner perform best and you need to have a higher ranking in search results to be a credible source.

Then for better performance of the banner ads, try to place them in different hooks, optimize for it, and compare all results.

So regularly test and track the performance of your product and optimize for them when necessary.

Here are the websites offering affiliate marketing in Nigeria:

• Jumia
• Konga
• Whogohost
• Travel start
• Bet9ja
• Wakanow
• Web4Africa

Step 4 Leverage Google Adsense

If you’re going to make money online using Google Adsense, two things work.

Your content must attract the right audience to your site every day.

The same content must bring visitors back every day.

If not, you ain’t gonna make a dime blogging.

If you have a site with a lot of content and loads of traffic not only would it provide your users with a great experience.

But it would also help you maximize your Adsense revenue.

And the most exciting thing is that is free to join with that you can monetize your website or blog even when it’s new.

Google pays monthly on a maximum of $100 threshold.

The sweet thing is that you can run ads on several websites from one Adsense account.

You can as well add it to your YouTube account, although with YouTube, you’ll need to meet the requirements and threshold.

Though Adsense ads are of different formats.

• Text
• Video
• Images

Most of these ads are of different sizes(300 by 250, 728 by 90, and 1600 by 600), then run them on an experiment to see if one size leads to more clicks than another.

Also, track which product is performing best.

Step 5 Sell Online courses

Most books on Udemy are read by students then to get a better offer from them creating valuable content will help them to offers more hands.

First, identify your audience, think about this for once, who is your target audience and what do they want to learn?

I’m sure these people want to learn something that will improve their potential.

They won’t want to buy the idea of paying for a project that adds no value to their credentials.

The best strategy you can do that pays off is to offer the course for free, then charge for certification.

But you’ll have to build trust with it.
