Can you make money from Blogging ? Here is how!

Earn from your BlogBlogging is a multitasking job, it is definitely not for people who can’t handle more than one kind of work at a time. Being a Blogger, you have to be your own PR, Photographer, SEO Analyst, Content Writer, UI Designer etc. You don’t have anyone else to put the blame on if something goes wrong. Everything has to be controlled by you alone.
In the initial stages of blogging, it can be quite overwhelming seeing the tremendous dedication it requires to keep your blog active and up to date. Once you have got the hold of it, producing engaging content at regular intervals, you can start earning money from your blog. If you think you haven’t reached that stage yet, stage at which you get about 10,000 hits a day, then I suggest you go through the following blog posts which will guide you to take your blogging game up a level,
There are many ways by which you can earn through your blog, some of them are:
  • CPC (cost per click) or CPM (cost per 1000 impressions) Ads 

Third party image source
As the name suggests, in CPC ads you get paid every time a viewer clicks on the ad and in CPM, you get paid every time the ad crosses the 1000 impressions mark. The most widely used network for these kinds of ads is Google Adsense. To use Google Adsense on your blog, it should be self-hosted. WordPress.com doesn’t support Adsense but has Adwords available instead. Adsense does all the hard work for you regarding what ads to display to whom, all that you have to do is choose the position where the ads would be displayed. Some of the Adsense alternatives are Media.net , InfoLinks and Chitika.

  • Affiliate Marketing

Third party image source
Affiliate Marketing works in a way in which you place the link for a product of a company and the company agrees to pay you some percentage of the sales made through your link as commission. The link given to you is unique and has the ability to track the sales made from your links specifically. You can add this link directly or make a banner for it. If the viewer clicks on it and further goes on to make the purchase then you get the commission money in your wallet. As simple as that! Amazon Associates is a popular choice for affiliate marketing. You may also check out Flipkart’s Affiliate Program.

  • Sell your own products
If you’re creative you can sell your own products like E-books, Workshops, Guides and Lightroom Presets.
  • Build your Brand Identity
Build your Brand Identity with a database of viewers who are loyal and consider what you say true. Once people start converting into loyal followers, you can start reviewing various places or products. A well-structured review of all the relevant information about the place or product can highly recommend them to people. By this, brands will begin approaching you on their own to offer you freebies or a paid promotional posts to utilize the benefits of your loyal followers of the blog and other social media handles. You can get invited to events as well. I began blogging in mid-2016, but I learned and developed it to what it is now in early 2017. My first invite was from Lemon Tree Hotels and from then onwards its going great! Just when I thought my efforts are going in vain, no one is interested in my blog. So, the moral is, keep doing what you do the best without any diminishing efforts and you’ll definitely be recognized.

The Psychology of self motivation

What is it like feeling empowered? If you want to know if you feel empowered, ask yourself three questions: Can you do it? Will it work? Is it worth it? If your answer is yes for all them, you feel empowered. This is based on research. One feels self-motivated, competent when they receive recognition for their hard work. We are controlled by our consequences, we think so much before doing what scares us that the fear starts to drive us. Believe that you have a choice of not doing it, it will make you feel relaxed and self-motivated. There is nothing that you can't do if you have made up your mind on it. You are the universe's most evolved and advanced species, there is no one smarter, more intelligent or ahead of you. There might be some difficulties in your way, but let me tell you, these difficulties make it worth so much. Because nothing having worthwhile, comes easy. Obstacles mean you're going the right way, you just have to keep on going in that direction,...

Apple reportedly launching new iPhones in blue, orange, and gold colors

Apple may be launching its next set of larger iPhones in a variety of new colors in the market. According to 9to5Mac reports, Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that Apple's 6.5-inch iPhone might launch in black, white, gold, grey, blue, red and orange colors. So many options to choose from! Earlier, Apple has been seen only producing red iPhones in collaboration with RED, an organization that fights against HIV and AIDS in Africa.  The iPhone 5C debuted back in 2013 in green, blue, yellow, pink, and white variants thanks to a polycarbonate back. Apple was clearly planning a gold variant of the iPhone X, as the FCC revealed this unreleased iPhone earlier this year. 9to5Mac has mocked up what 2018 iPhones colors could look like (shown above). Current rumors suggest Apple will launch three new iPhones in the fall. A new “iPhone X Plus” is rumored to include a 6.5-inch OLED display and dual-SIM support, and a 6.1-inch LCD iPhone (with slim bezels) will likely include Face ID. Apple...

Tips on how to save money the right way

1. Save before you spend You need to know what money is a fixed outcome each month e.g. rent/bills. The best way to do this is split the different expenditures over two bank accounts and that way you know exactly what you have to spend. It quite easy to open a savings account online and manage this with online banking. Keep the fixed amount of rents separate so that you never by mistake spend too much. 2. Reduce the unnecessary spending Identify what you are spending your money on. Is it too many shoes or too many takeouts a week? Either way, there is something that we just can’t help from buying, and we don’t necessarily need it. Find out what is that is. 3. Set yourself some saving goals Focusing on the reason why you want to save.
