Sure, they may have some type of message they want to share, but the end goal is to turn their blog into a money-making machine. 

There are several ways to make money with a blog. Here's a look at a few of the easiest money-making strategies to implement on your blog.

<h2>Create your Own Product</h2>

If you have knowledge of an industry, hobby or just about anything, you can create your own product. There are several types of digital products you can create with just the knowledge you already have. Of course, you can create a physical product, too, but that will require shipping and logistics.

Some of the products you can create for your blog include:
<ul>
<li>Courses/Webinars</li>
<li>EBooks/Guides</li>
<li>Software/Plugins/Applications</li>
<li>Merchandise</li>
<li>Video/DVD</li>
<li>Audio/CD</li>
</ul>
Some products will require more work and overhead than others. However, with your own product, you will be able to make more money from your blog than if you use any of the other methods, in most cases.

<h2>Affiliate Marketing</h2><img src="https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Affiliate-Marketing.jpg" alt="Affiliate Marketing" width="227" height="222" class="alignright size-full wp-image-8793" />

A very popular way to turn your blog into a money-making machine is with affiliate marketing. Many companies offer the opportunity to promote their products and earn a commission for sales you generate. You can join the many affiliate networks, such as Commission Junction, ShareASale, ClickBank or even the Amazon Associates program. This will give you access to thousands of products you can promote for a commission.

<h2>Advertising Networks</h2>

Google AdSense and other advertising networks will pay you simply when a visitor clicks on an ad you run on your website. This is a great way to enjoy an income from your blog and it will fit with any subject matter. 

Just enter the code they give you into your website and when somebody visits your site and clicks on an ad, you get paid. If you don't want to bother with adding affiliate links or creating your own product, this is a great way to monetize your blog.

<h2>Offer Services</h2>

Sometimes, a service is better than a product. Your blog may be about a specific topic, which you are an expert on. If this is the case, you can offer paid services to those visiting your website.

Some of the services you can offer include:
<ul>
<li>Coaching</li>
<li>Content Writing</li>
<li>Speaking</li>
<li>Web Design</li>
<li>SEO Training</li>
</ul>
There are many other services you can offer, as well.

There are plenty of great ways to make money with your blog. These are just a few of the many possible ways to monetize your new blog. You can choose one or a combination of the methods above to take your blog from a place with content to a money-making machine.
