HOW TO MAKE MONEY AS A NEW BLOGGER
When I first started blogging, I read everything I could find about how to make my blog profitable. I knew I wanted to monetize my blog, but I wasn’t sure how.
After looking at other sites, I knew I didn’t want my blog to be plastered with ads. Sometimes, they can be cringe-worthy. Don’t get me wrong, ads are a great way to monetize your site, but when they overload your content it can turn your readers away.
Also, I noticed many other bloggers recommend products. I have bought many products by reading about them on someone’s blog. So how can a new blogger make money by recommending products and stores? Easy, through affiliate marketing. Read on to find out about what ad companies and affiliate marketers are FREE and EASY to set-up for NEW bloggers.
HOW TO MAKE MONEY AS A NEW BLOGGER WITH ADS
I looked into several ad agencies and I didn’t like the idea of not being in control of what ads would be placed on my site. Also, the waiting time and difficulty applying turned me away. Mediavine is awesome, however, you must have a substantial amount of traffic to be approved. So how can new bloggers make money with ads? Simple, Fomo ads.
As a new blogger, I thought my monetization options were limited until I found FOMO. FOMO is a new ad agency for bloggers and website owners. The acronym FOMO can mean the “Fear of Missing Out” which is exactly what my blog was doing by not being monetized.
FOMO is amazing! You can customize your ads in so many ways. I use my brand colors, so my ads blend well with my site. The ads that they use are related to my posts. For example, my latest post was a round-up of the Best Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Side Dishes, so my Fomo ad was for organic chicken broth. What a perfect clickable ad for that post. Win-win!
WHY FOMO IS PERFECT FOR NEW BLOGS
Fomo ads are perfect for new bloggers because it is COMPLETELY FREE and there is no minimum traffic requirement. Also, there is no earning threshold, so you get paid the first day of every month. Earnings are based on impressions and clicks.
The best part about Fomo, is you can actually contact the company. You can write emails, live chat and even call them. They will respond! They will help you in any way and answer all your questions. If you have ever tried contacting other ad companies, you know how difficult it can be to even get a response.
Signing up for Fomo ads is really simple. Once you sign up, you just insert a small code into your site. Just like you did for google analytics or even Pinterest. It is super easy, it took me less than 5 minutes. If you have questions they can be answered instantly with their live chat.
So what are you waiting for, you can start making money right away! The ads are visually appealing to your site, and the company has great customer service. There is no risk involved. Sign up today, and start seeing the money accumulating in your account.
Ads Companies For New Blogs
Another great ad company for new blogs is Media.net. It is owned by Bing and Yahoo. What I love most about Media.net is that you can create your own customized ads. You are in control of the color, size, and placement of the ads so they look appropriate on your site. Media.net uses a genius algorithm to make text-only ads. The ads are based on keywords that your visitors are already searching. Therefore, your ads will get more clicks and earn your site more income.
The application process is very quick and easy. They do have a payment threshold of $100, however, Media.net pays more than Google Adsense so that threshold is very attainable. Another great perk is that it will work for any blog no matter what country, not just US-based blogs.
So what are you waiting for, sign up for FOMO and Media.net TODAY! Yes, you can have both on your blog! You can even have FOMO, Media.net, and Google Adsense at the same time. Just make sure that Adsense doesn’t overload your site with too many ads. You will not have to worry about that with FOMO, or Media.net, but unfortunately, Adsense likes to you put ads EVERYWHERE!
HOW TO MAKE MONEY AS A NEW BLOGGER WITH AFFILIATES
Another great way to make money as a NEW blogger is with affiliate marketing. Have you ever recommended a product to a friend? Well, affiliate marketing is sort of the same thing, except you get paid. You can link products you love and run ad banners for stores you recommend. Every time someone on your site clicks and makes a purchase through an affiliate link, you will get paid a percentage.
Joining some of the top affiliate marketing companies is FREE and EASY. They offer many products and links to many different stores. One favorite of all bloggers is joining Amazon Associates. Amazon has almost every product out there that you can link to.
Another top affiliate marketer that lets you get paid for your great content is shareasale.com. Share-A-Sale has so many different merchants at your fingertips, that will pay great commissions. FlexOffers is another great option to earn money for your blog. They offer partnerships to many stores as well as travel companies.
Sign up for all THREE of these great affiliate companies to earn commissions on the things you would already recommend to your readers. Remember to always be honest with your readers, and to only recommend products you trust.
Many companies you already love are listed with FlexOffers and ShareASale. However, some smaller companies like to just promote their own affiliate portals. If there happens to be a product or company that you want to promote that is not listed with a top affiliate marketer, then just go to their website and search around. Their affiliate portal will usually be listed on the top or bottom of their website. If they do not have an affiliate portal, then just contact them. If you write an email, be sure to explain in detail why you would be a great affiliate for their company.
How to Make Money As A NEW Blogger
Now signing up for ad and affiliate companies will only bring your site money if you get TRAFFIC. If no one is visiting your blog, then you won’t make very much money. As a new blog, Google really won’t recognize you for a while. The best way to get traffic to a new blog is Pinterest!
When I first started, I thought I knew Pinterest pretty well because I had been pinning things to my personal account for years. I was wrong! It was not until I read Pinteresting Strategies that I actually figured out how to make Pinterest work for my blog.
Pinteresting Strategies is the BEST course to get traffic to a new blog. My numbers skyrocketed from the low 100’s to 1000’s a day, after implementing what was outlined in the course. Invest in your blog and take Pinteresting Strategies, it is the only course you will ever need to get high traffic from Pinterest.
How To Monetize A Blog
You can monetize your blog right away. Just remember you need traffic, and the best way to get traffic is Pinterest and to write good helpful content. Engage your audience. It is fine to write about yourself once in a while, but don’t forget to write helpful posts that will resonate with your readers.
So write about what you love and get paid for it. Happy Blogging!

Hi,
I am using all of these already. How much have you made with FOMO? I started using it about 3 months ago and have only made 60 cents so far 🙁
I also have about 300 clicks on my FlexOffers affiliate links but no commissions! I can’t figure out if I am doing something wrong or just no one buys anything?
Hi Laura!
Fomo is like any other ad company, it’s all about the traffic. I do pretty well with them.
Regarding Flexoffers, are you sure it is clicks, it could be impressions. They have a great customer service that can check your account for problems.
Don’t get discouraged, remember blogging is a slow-and-steady wins the race type of income. It takes a while, but eventually it will be the best income because it is passive.
Thank you. I just started my blog and have 6 posts, so it might take awhile to get traffic. However, i’ll Go ahead and sign up for a couple of these. Thanks again!
great tips, straight to the point ! thanks for sharing !
I have been using pinterest since so many years and it is the best source of organic traffic. Thanks to author for such a cool content.
