How to make money blogging with Microweber

An open-source, Drag & Drop CMS that helps you easily turn your passion into a profitable business

With the vast penetration and easy access to internet today, everyone can freely share their thoughts and ideas with the rest of the world by creating their own blog. The good news is that there is a way to monetize on that and there is a system that makes it easy as pie.

Blogging can be a great pastime, a wonderful channel to express yourself and help others with useful tips and tricks from your own experience. Whether it's travel, dieting, programming, cooking, knitting – you name it, the curiosity and need of people for information is immense.

Blogging as a hobby

If you want to have a good blog, however, you need to dedicate it a considerable amount of your time and resources. You have to update it regularly with fresh articles, videos, images and other materials to keep your readers coming. Sometimes, this is a difficult endeavor if you need to go to work to make a living. A proper blog may take up a lot of hours to do the necessary research, writing, editing and all that stuff. So, wouldn't it be great if all these efforts paid off - literally?

Luckily, there is a great solution for that and more and more bloggers have come to realize the material potential their hobby brings. A growing number of them are already abandoning their normal jobs to dedicate all their time to their blogs, generating some good revenue out of them.

Blogging for a living

As you may have noticed, many of the blogs out there are dedicated to specific topics – like cooking, teaching languages, DIY, hairstyling, make-up, etc. They offer useful tips and advice on best practices, solutions to common problems, great places to visit and so on and so on. Each of these categories hides a great business potential and both bloggers and businesses are beginning to realize it.

When you read or watch a great DIY tutorial, showing you exactly how to make your own coffee table, you feel inspired and are ready to rush to the store to buy all the materials you need. But why rush to the store, when all you need can be just a click away on the blog's own e-shop?! If you write about make-up procedures, guess what… you can sell make-up. If you post recipes, you can contact your local grocery store and offer them to start selling their food products or spices online, pocketing part of the profit. The options and opportunities are endless.
