Are you new to blogging and looking to generate income from your blog? I've been blogging for 7 years and here is a list of tips on how I started monetizing my blog in the beginning. My first son was born 7 years ago and at that time I was
finishing up my college degree.
Since I
was in school and not working full-time and new that I needed to start making
some money on the side, especially if I wanted to pay off student loans. I had a
passion for living frugally, couponing and DIY projects and decided to start my
blog to share my awesome tips. I have added some affiliate links to this post... you will see why in my last tip.
*If you're just starting out with blogging and still need a blog host you can get an amazing deal using
Bluehost
. Signing up with Bluehost you will; Get a FREE domain name for a year, FREE site builders,
1-Click Wordpress Install and 24/7 Support… all for just $3.45/Month. You won’t
find another deal quite like this.
Once you start monetizing your blog, this will easily pay for
itself.
How I started to Generate My Blog Income
1.
Adsense = $69.71
The absolute first and easiest step I took was to add
Adsense ads to my blog. Most people think that as soon as they set up ads on
their sites they will start to generate a ton of money.
Sorry to let you down, but this is not the case.
Adsense ads will trickle in maybe a few cents
when you first get started. The key to increasing the amount you earn from ads
is to increase your traffic.

Blogsvertise
=$1065
Once my traffic started to increase and I had a lot of great
content up on my blog I joined Blogsvertise. I was able to write sponsored blog
posts and got paid to post them to my blog.
I also had the option to post pay per action posts to earn a certain
amount every time someone clicked on that post.
3. Money Back Apps =$62.95
*I not only earned money from using these apps myself but also from referrals from my blog.
Ibotta
: $60.45
earned simply by taking a picture of my
grocery receipt. Use my
unique link
and get $10 FREE after joining and redeeming your first rebate.
MobiSave: $2.50
Just like Ibotta I earn money from snapping
a picture of my receipt. The earnings from this app aren’t as high, but what I love
is that the money is deposited directly into your PayPal account the same
day.
Receipt Hog: 709 Coins
This app is another receipt scanning
app which counts your money as coins.
Once you reach 1,000 coins you earn $5 to send to your Paypal or
Amazon
account. The more receipts you scan the more coins you get.
4.
Tomoson
= Multiple Free Products
Another route I took to start getting paid from my blog was
to write product reviews. Thanks to Tomoson I was able to connect with some wonderful companies to review some great new products. I'm also working on paid posts this month. Check out one of my
reviews here

5. Affiliate Marketing = 0
I have recently started a new venture into affiliate marketing.
I will report back after my first couple
months to give a complete review. I singed up with
