What You Do If Your Blog Isn’t Making Money

Some blog for money and some blog for fun, but it’s not fun to lose money blogging. What do you do if your blog is costing you more than it makes?

More Advertising

If you only have one well-blended block of adsense, maybe it’s time for a more prominent ad placement. Or if adsense isn’t performing well in a prime spot, maybe it’s time to try to sell that spot directly to an advertiser.

Affiliate Programs

There are many affiliate programs that you can make to fit your niche. I have been experimenting most with NeverBlueAds. NeverBlueAds has a lot of freebies, so it’s perfect for my blog It’s All Free Online. Not only can I display text and banner advertising for the ads, I can also post about them. I can still get paid to write about freebies

Expand Your Niche

If your niche is too specific, it could be limiting what you can do. If you’re blogging about tree frogs (bad example) try blogging about all frogs. You could even take it a step further and include other species of animals. Then you’re content isn’t as limiting and you can expand your niche.

Paid Blogging

Maybe you don’t want your blog to make money, that’s fine too. There are other ways on the internet to cover your costs. Some bloggers offer incentive to ‘guest bloggers‘. This month we are offering our two top bloggers 15$ each, which is enough to cover hosting costs. Not only do you get to earn money, you can further develop your blog and brand.

Those are just a few things you can do until your blog starts making money. What did you do before your blog started making money?
