1. How To Start a Blog That
Makes $124,407
REPLICATE THESE 12 MONETIZATION
STRATEGIES

2. Blogging is largely considered
a hobby. People consider it as
an outlet to occasionally
share their thoughts, have
fun and get compliments.
“

3. But when you talk about
money, bloggers aren’t
expected to be well-off. If
you tell people that you blog
full-time for a living, they
might pity you. And wish
you all the best for finding a
real job.
Numbers tell that those
people aren’t completely
wrong. In a 2015 survey of
thousands of women
bloggers by iBlog magazine,
only 11% claimed to earn
more than $30,000. 68% of
bloggers said that they
earned less than $5,000.
THAT’S SAD!

(not year). And he makes a major chunk
of money through affiliate marketing.

6. Pat Flynn earned a massive $53,400
from Bluehost in March, 2016. Here are
two rules that Pat Flynn adheres to when
promoting products as an affiliate.
• Only promote products that you’re
very familiar with. Preferably you’ve
used them and it helped you to
achieve something.
• Don’t tell anyone to directly buy a
product. Only recommend them in
the context of how you’ve used them
(maybe as a case study in a blog
post).

Pat started the SPI podcast back in July,
2010. Back then, podcasting wasn’t
mainstream and setting up your own
podcast wasn’t easy.

downloads. Moreover, Pat has started
three more podcasts including AskPat.

skills to pull it off.

through c Licenses. Read the 7
