How to Monetize a New Blog or Website?

May be you are planning on starting a new blog or it may be a few days or months old and now you are thinking of earning from it . 

So, How do you monetize it ?

If you  are looking for quick earning methods from the blog , you should trying the following two options :

1) Affiliate Links

Although affiliate marketing sometimes gets a bad rap, it’s a straightforward way to make money, and it creates a win-win situation for you, your reader, and the product creator.

Many digital products (like ebooks, software and membership sites) offer an affiliate program, where you can sign up to earn commission on any sales you generate.
Generally you get a cut ranging from 10% - 50% . 

-->
2) Gigs and Other Services

Well , this is something new . Hopefully ,you have a few skills related to your niche. For instance , you are an established blogger  and simply know the procedure on setting things up like installing and tweaking themes , plugins and so on.  You could offer blog setup to people who aren’t so techy minded.


Don’t underestimate yourself here. Skills that may seem second-nature to you could be very valuable to someone else

Tip: Offer your services for free to a few selected people, and get them to give you feedback so you can improve. Ask them for a testimonial that you can include on your website: this will be a big help in persuading potential customers that you’re reputable.

I haven't mentioned one of the most popular options out there – running adverts on your site. Many new bloggers want to monetize using ads – but it’s rarely a good way to make money.

(In My case , it took me nearly 10 months to get my first 100$ from Google AdSense)

How to get Google Adsense Approval . Monetize your Blog instantly - TechBum™

Just like a newbie blogger about a year ago when I started blogging , I was very keen on activating Google Adsense for my blog .  I went through various online forums each of them explaining the same old stuff about blogging techniques , building up traffic , SEO etc.

This things were just really very boring to me . But then I had no choice but to come up with some quality content and get some traffic and finally one fine day my blog got approved and I now I am able to put Adsense ads on my blog. So if you are reading this you will find an ad somewhere in this post :P and a few in the sidebar too :) 

Ok , so from my experience i would suggest you like others to follow stuff like Making Quality 

Content , SEO , Building Traffic ... (Probably you wont be interested in this i know )

But here is one trick which will definitely help you add Adsense ads on your blog directly after making an Google Adsense Application procedure .  it is 100% working technique !

Just follow this Simple steps : 

(Make sure you have a blog setup already)

1) Make a YouTube channel .

2) Upload just 1 or 2 videos initially (just about anything !)

-->

        So the trick here is that YouTube has started offering Partnership to  anyone who has a YouTube       

        channel . (Now anyone can Monetize their YouTube videos . )

How this helps ?

-->To monetize your videos you will be asked to make/associate a Google Adsense Account. 

And all you need to put ads on your blog is an approved / activated Adsense account .

3)So go ahead and create an Adsense account(with same or different ID) and hence you finally have an Approved Google Adsense Account . 

So, what you now have is a monetized YouTube channel and an Approved Google Adsense Account !

Dress up once , look Good everywhere .People watch your channel everywhere, on their sofa, at their desks, on the bus. You need to look your best on all kinds of screens. Now your channel art will scale beautifully to any size screen and your social and merchandise links will be available on any device with a browser.

You can now curate content – your own or others’ – into highly visible sections for your fans to discover what to watch. With multiple layouts for videos and playlists, you can arrange your channel to best highlight your content.

How I became a Youtube Partner - My Experience

-->

Earlier to become a YouTube partner was not so easy . (Yes it wasn't ,I have failed a lot of times :P )
 (i had almost given up on it , TRUST ME !)

So inorder to become a YouTube Partner one had to take care of the following points : 

1) Have a LOT of Videos 

2)Have a LOT of Subscribers and Views

3)One had to frequently Upload Videos 

4)No Copyright material should be used . (your video should have your content ) 

So if you make a video of , say , your new Laptop and you review it , you own the copyright of that video and that no one can use it .
So this has been a Big issue because some people think something is  right but its simply wrong !


People use some 10-15 seconds of their favourite  song :P in their video , but they dont realize that its all copyright .


How You Can Become A Youtube Partner

1) Make a lot of videos . ( not just videos , but Good quality content )
------- Most importantly " ORIGINAL VIDEOS " !

2)Get a LOT of subscribers :P (NOT ANYMORE ! )
-----  YOU JUST NEED ORIGINAL CONTENT THAT'S ALL , YOU CAN SEE MY CHANNEL AND JUDGE YOURSELF ! 

I HAVE HARDLY ANY SUBSCRIBERS !  

HERES A Link to MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL -->   My YouTube Channel


3) Slowly You should get more and more views Depending on your quality of content ...

All this is because now being a YouTube Partner Has Become really Easy ! 

OBVIOUSLY , I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL BECOME A PARTNER
BUT THIS I AM SHARING WITH YOU IS SIMPLY BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND HOW I MANAGED TO BECOME A Youtube Partner ... :)


 BENEFITS OF BEING A PARTNER :
