How to make your blog a residual income source or extra income source?

[Kelly5]

A lot of people confuse residual income with extra income. Extra income is anything you do to earn money that is not a part of your regular income. Residual income is the income that comes from the work you did in the past or from the work that does not require you to work every day.

Did you know your blog can become a great source of residual income as well as extra income?

Let me assume that you have a blog. Now, what next? You will have to work on traffic and monetization

Traffic and Monetization

Whether you want to build residual income or earn extra income, you will have to first build traffic and then monetize your site with ad networks and affiliate networks. Having ads on your site does not guarantee income, you need to work on traffic.

Building Residual Income

If you have traffic on your site, Ads like Adsense and Amazon will build residual income over time.

Building Extra Income

Ads on your site will build residual income but you can also earn extra by offering services and products through your site. It's your site and you can sell anything from your site, the best part is you do not have to pay commission.

That's an actual fact on how to make money from your blog. You can actually sell products or services on that blog as you don't need anybody's permission to do so, it's your site. Rightly and well said

It is not possible to generate passive income from your website until or unless you put a lot of effort and market your website as much as you can. It will take many years for you to earn residual income from your website due to the fact that it is very difficult to generate a lot of traffic. You must write high-quality content and gain as many followers as you can.

This is a good post from you. A lot of blogger are not ready to put in the effort to make money on their effort. With traffic they can't make anything and they are not even ready to work on their traffic to make money for themselves

Looks like you need a lot of skills to actually make your blog make moey for you. You not only need writing skills but seo and marketing skills as well. Blogging looks complicted

You are right though as there are lots of work that needs to be put in place, though it is not as complicated as you see it to be though. For one to have a successful blog a very good writing skill is needed, your content needs to be top quality and other aspect like you have mentioned

That is a really great advice on how to use your blog to get some extra income. I love the idea of using your own site to sell some products and services. Indeed you will enjoy all your money that way and don't have to depend on commission.
