We have spoken a lot about how we monetize our blogs and make money online.On IncomeDiary, we don’t sell any advertising or have any advertising banners. I feel like it limits how much you can make.Say you sold an advert for $1000. You now know you are guaranteed to make $1000 this month, but, you also know you are going to only make $1000 from this advertising space.When it comes to making money from blogging, we focus on two techniques.Technique 1: Affiliate MarketingSelling other peoples products and get a commission every time we make a sale.Technique 2: Selling Our Own ProductsCreating and selling our own eBooks and software. For example, we sell an eBook on getting more traffic and we have a software product that lets you create high converting popups.We go into a lot more detail about these two monetization methods in this post about monetizing your blog.The Longer You’re Not Taking Action, The More Money You’re LosingThe biggest difference between people who create successful websites and people who fail, is those who make it, didn’t give up.If you want to get more traffic to your website, click here!To Your Blogging Success,
