When I first started blogging in 2015, I had no idea how to make money from my blog. In fact I was totally clueless and saw blogging purely as an outlet to express my personal interests and passions. The more that I became passionate about blogging, the more I became determined to become a full time blogger. The only trouble was that I had no concept of ‘monetization’ and struggled to make my brand stand out from the crowd. Six months after I started blogging I was approached by a company to write a sponsored post for 10 dollars, which I turned down, because I felt I was worth more than that. At the time my blog was purely focused on just fashion and personal diaries and it wasn’t until I widened my blog niche in January 2016 that I took on my first sponsored post for £100, which was uncannily high at the time.
Last year might have helped me monetize my blog and find sponsored posts but the income was never steady and most months I did not make a single penny. After moving to London and finding that my funds were decreasing by the second I knew that I needed to re-evaluate my blog, if I truly wanted to make a career out of it. For me blogging was never just about the money, but I did want to be able to quit my full time job (s) and have the freedom to make my own creative decisions. So after feeling unhappy with my website – which was on Wix at the time- I took a risk and migrated my content over to WordPress and immediately saw the results. My traffic increased, my website looked far more professional and brands loved the clean layout. But with the migration process my DA had gone down and for a few months I was back to making little money. By this year though everything changed, In May alone I made £600 from blogging and am hoping that the prices will continue to rise.
But this is what you need to keep in mind, that £600 that I made came from 10 sponsored posts, which alongside a full time job can be challenging to keep up, so always remember that not all sponsored posts are ‘highly paid’ . The highest amount that I have been offered is £200 and the lowest I have been paid is £25 (when I first started working with sponsored posts), with a median average of £75 per post. Considering my DA is 38, I get between 25,000-32,000 views a month and have a high social following, the pricing might seem quite low but I know that gradually my rates can increase and I will be able to be more selective about the rates that I offer. But I digress, find out below how you too can create a money making business!
Go Self-Hosted/ Increase Your DA Score
Many sponsorships come about because a site has its own domain and thus has a domain authority and page authority score. While your DA and PA score does increase with ‘age’, generating backlinks i.e commenting on high authority blogs or participating in Facebook groups helps increase your DA score. Please bear in mind that to have a self-hosted domain, you need to purchase a domain and a host, so your DA score will start at 0. Making money from your blog is not a ‘quick fix’ scenario, so be prepared to slowly build your blog up and create authentic and engaging content to draw in your audience.
Lastly remember that interaction is key. So you brought your own domain but no one apart from your cats and dogs know that it is even active. By finding blogs in your niche (or even outside of your niche) and leaving engaging comments, you can not only develop relationships with other bloggers but also increase your chances of making money. Often the higher your DA, the more you can charge for sponsored posts.
Find Sponsored Posts
Finding sponsored posts can be tricky to find if you don’t know where to look for them but as I explained in 35 blogging groups and platforms that pay you to blog, there are plenty of platforms that can pay to either place content, or pay you to write content for their brand or company. While some are only open to UK or US residents, others look for international influencers and can often want ‘package deals’ too.
Below I have included two of the best blogging platforms for UK and International Bloggers
UK
Offering a range of sponsored posts, opportunities and product reviews, this Facebook group offers opportunities based on DA score or in some cases ‘traffic data or score’ i.e some Google forms may ask for your following stats rather than DA and look at your traffic data, to see how high your engagement is.
While the group was set up mostly as a help forum for UK bloggers, the group also posts exclusive opportunities that can help you turn your blog into a money making business. From parenting to interior, the group opportunities cover a range of different genres. Plus the group is run by the lovely Sarah who also runs Bloggers Helping Each Other.
Uk & International Focus
Bloggers United/ Bloggers Connect * please note I am not being paid to promote this group nor do I receive commission for any referrals, I just think that it has some great opportunities.
A shameless plug I know but the group that I run ‘Bloggers United’ which features daily threads to increase traffic, likes, follows and more has a partnership with a PR company called ‘Bloggers Connect’ who has opportunities for bloggers worldwide, especially if you are based in the US. If you are interested in finding opportunities through Bloggers Connect, just sign up to the database here and you will get contacted when an appropriate collaboration is available.
US Focused
With over 30 million bloggers in the US alone, it is undeniable that blogging is increasing in its profitability and status in the United States. By 2020, Statista stated that the amount of recorded blogs would increase to 31.7, so naturally learning how to make money as a US Blogger is key. Below are three agencies that my US bloggy friends have deemed to be the best agencies to make money from in the US.
With one of the fastest payout rates for a media agency scheme and a wide variety of opps available, Linquia has been lauded as one of the best US platforms. With brands across all genres including food, fashion and more, they are always on the look out for bloggers in the US, so if you want to join be sure to use my referral link HERE and yes I will get a small commission if you are selected by Linquia upon joining!
Although there is a UK version (Socialix) I would argue that Social Fabric for US influencers is far better. With brands like Corona, Minute Maid and more, Social Fabric works with a variety of influencers across all genres but especially food and drink. Payment varies from $50 to $1000 plus and is dependent on the brand opportunity.
Like the UK version, Blogger Opportunities uses Google Docs to find bloggers for sponsored posts, brands and even for events that are happening in the US. While many opportunities are international, the Facebook group does have exclusive US only events that influencers can attend and be able to collaborate with brands that are showcasing their products there.
To find the full list, read 50 blogging groups and platforms that pay you to blog.
Best For International Bloggers
Many of my readers have often messaged me asking how influencers that live outside of the US/ UK can make money, so below I have gathered three of the best influencer agencies that cater to bloggers that live in France, Germany and more.
Available to influencers worldwide, this is undoubtably the best paid agency work that I have come across for international bloggers. With the lowest form of payment being $100 and the biggest opp being way into the $400’s, Matt Gibson, the owner of the company works with many travel clients and chooses people that have not worked for the client before. Opportunities are often weekly and are sent through your inbox but be quick and opportunity spacs run out pretty quickly.
Describing themselves as the leading influencer agency network in Europe and beyond, IMA cherry picks top influencers and partners them up with brands like Nivea, Deliveroo, Diesel and Calvin Klein. Opportunities are usually paid and if not free tickets to festivals and events are provided.
Not only do you get paid to write, but you also have a say in the brands you work with and can even collaborate with other influencers. Whats more you can also attend workshops and be offered advice on how to grow your brand. Moreover brands they have worked with include Doritos, Fitness First and Paul Smith.
Join Affiliate Schemes
Affiliate marketing is often hard to crack, I should know, as it was only recently that I started making money from it. As of today, I have made £55 from affiliate links, which granted is minimal in comparison to some bloggers but I am confident that will increase over time as I learn now to truly target affiliate marketing on my blog.
Affiliate Schemes You Should Join
Like To Know It/ Rewardstyle
It wasn’t until I moved over to WordPress at the end of November 2016 that I started using affiliate marketing on my blog. I was always wary of scaring visitors away with ads and didn’t want to overdo it. Learning how to make links look authentic but disclosing that you earn a small commission if a purchase is made is important. I was invited onto the ‘Like To Know It’ platform by August 2016 but did not use it until I transferred over to WordPress. I have made £30 so far, which seems minimal but in my eyes is better than nothing. While there is an £100 threshold to be paid, I am hoping that slow and steady wins the race.
Ironically, despite my engagement on Instagram, it is my blog that generated the larger percent of traffic, proving that the future of blogging is not over yet!
While Like To Know It is usually invite only, you can request an invite too and should they approve you, you will be given a unique link to enter your profile and start making money through affiliate marketing.

I get that Google Adsense is a contentious one, but according to my readers, that is the most profitable source of affiliate marketing that you can use. I am looking to apply for Google Adsense in the next few days, but please be aware that not all blogs are accepted by Google Adsense. I have heard reports of how some bloggers have made hundreds from Adsense while others barely make a penny, but I would guess the key would be to never give up.
According to my International buddies, Awin is a fantastic affiliate marketing scheme and although I am signed up to it, I have not used it before now. You can request to join affiliate programmes in your region and each programme has a different rate of conversion, whether that be 12% or 8%. Payment frequency varies per programme but most do not have a threshold to get paid which is always good news!
Of course there are many other affiliate schemes you can join, but these were the most common schemes that people would use to generate money through affiliate marketing.
Create an E-Book/Course/Workshop
It goes without saying that ‘selling a service’ is part of blogging, but many bloggers use their skills to teach readers or visitors how to make money, take good photos, gain more followers and more. My good bloggy friend Stella from Fashion Style Police had the guts to write her own book called ‘How To Cash In As A Blogger‘ which I brought when I first started blogging. If you want tips on how to market your blog and learn the basics this is a great book to purchase. FYI I am not getting paid to endorse her book, I just think she is fabulous and deserves more recognition.
If you wanted to create your own course or write a book, then I don’t see why not, after all you have nothing to lose!
Become a VA
A VA or a virtual assistant often helps with tasks like completing threads, scheduling content and more. While I have contemplated becoming one before, I do have an intense work load but my good friend Angela from The Inspiration Edit, offers VA services and has had glowing reviews. Of course there are other types of VA’s but it would be a good idea for those who want to make money from home and be able to still have balance between work and play.
While there are more ways to make money from your blog, sponsored posts and affiliate marketing make up the largest percentage of my blogging income and with the right mindset anyone can make money from their blogs. Please note that you cannot expect immediate results, as things like traffic and stats do matter when it comes to earning money with your blog. But with time and hard work, anything is possible!

Some really great tips and advice for bloggers and so well written, thank you x
Thanks for all the tips, I get some sponsored post enquires but not that many as I don’t tend to look for them myself I tend to wait for PR’s to come to me as I didn’t know where to look, thanks for the info x
Great list for us bloggers. I will be checking out a couple I didn’t know about. Sharing
good to know we can make money from blogging. I started blogging as interest to share my experience in parenting and love to join contests. From there I have many blogs but mostly is free hosting not self hosted types. It’s not cheap to own self hosting, so I owned a few blog with that. I encourage my son to blog too as he’s English is poor.
Aww really enjoyed reading this post Ana, you have shared so much information when others would charge you for this. I have only been blogging since April, so this is all new to me. I am part of your group too on Bloggers United, love love this Page. Thank you Ana, you are amazing 🙂
My long term goal is to monetize my blog and probably earn from it in the future. I reckon it’s a little early because I haven’t figured out exactly what my blog niche is. Nice article though, I’m always glad people post about their own blogging experiences.
It can be very helpful to turn a blog into an income-earning business. These are all great ideas for new bloggers!
This is great, thank you so much for this post. I’m quite new to blogging and I’m still figuring out the best way to make money from it. Some of these tips are super helpful, I’m going to look into the agencies.
These are all great tips for monotenizing your blog. I fully agree that it takes time and A LOT of interaction with other bloggers and your readers.
Great information for all bloggers. I would love a steady stream of income.
I like the sponsored post concept. This was a really helpful post thank you.
It’s definitely not easy to earn money with a blog.. But it should not be the first goal.. I make money with my blog but my blog is such a huuge passion and it’s the ‘sharing’ part which excites me so much. I think that brands recognize very well who blogs with passion . I always say, business starts with a passion :).
Kisses, Anna
Great tips! You deserve to be making good money now from your blog. You work so hard!
This is a very detailed post with awesome tips on how to turn your blog into a business!
I love working Linquia!
So many great ways to make money with your blog here! I love sponsored posts, but they often aren’t enough for my full-time income goals. So, I use ads and affiliate marketing too.
Really informative post. So many of us are looking for ways to monetize our blogs. I will need to try a number of the tips you have shared.
These are so many great tips! It’s so great to make money with your blog. We just started and hope we’ll continue! xx corinne
This is really great advice for those bloggers who are looking to start monetizing their blogs and start making more of an income from blogging. I mainly do sponsored posts myself but I am always looking for more ways to diversify and add more income streams.
Another great post here! Definitely some useful pointers 🙂
This was a great read Ana – you really have covered all the bases
Thank you for sharing your tips and experience. I am always looking for new ideas to grow! The VA assistant is a great idea!
These are some awesome tips, it is so hard to get going with money making as there are so many blogs out there now, but if you have the drive it is totally possible. Thank you for mentioning UKB.
I think this is amazing that you have not only done so much research on the subject, but you’ve managed to make this a paying job for you. Your motivation is inspiring!
This is a great post full of great tips for helping out other bloggers. Its actually helped me out with some tips as well :0 thank you
Some great tips here! Thanks for pulling it all together.
I love reading about the reasons others blog and how they evolve in time. I still feel quite new to blogging (one year) but loving it.
This is all valuable information for a blogger looking to turn their blog into a money making one. I haven’t heard about some of these programs that work with bloggers. Thank you for sharing your lessons with us.
Awesome post! Blogging can be so hard in the beginning, especially just knowing where to start or what to do, and so having reads like this to help out and guide it awesome!
I do a lot of sponsored work on my site. I try to make as much as possible, and there are definitely lots of opportunities for ALL of us out there 🙂
This is so good! I went self hosted in November last year and I have seen such a hug difference since doing so. It does cost but it’s worth it. I have to say that having a good social following has helped (not as expansive as yours but still ok!)
I do have a full time job but I really love the idea of being a VA – I hadn’t heard of this and I could quite happily do this!
I don’t think my blog is quite at the stage to start making money from it – but kudos to you hun, you’ve worked hard and deserve to reap the benefits. Wishing you lots of luck and hope to catch-up with you soon x
Everyone from novice beginners right through to seasoned professionals should be able to pick up something from this great post. So much relevant and detailed information of value.

Very nice! This is a good guide for bloggers who are thinking of monetizing their blog. There are plenty of ways to do it but you need to make sure that you have your own domain and a good web host first. It’s really going to jump start your blog into a money making business.

Great lists for us bloggers! An awesome roundup of moneterization tips. Sponsored posts are the best way to get paid. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

XOXO //SINCERELY OPHELIA | NYC Petite Fashion Blogger
Thank-you for (yet another!) incredible post for bloggers. As always, you’ve done an incredible amount of homework and covered so many bases when it comes to the ins and outs of sponsored posts. For me, I’ve been pursuing a slightly different route to make money from my blog. I’ve started doing recipe development and have been contacted to do some food writing for publications. In addition, I’ve thought about using the blog as a springboard for teaching photography to others. That’s the awesome thing about blogging, there are so many different ways one can use it to make money and they’re changing everyday. x
This is such a great idea on how to make more money through blogging. I will keep this in mind.
Great guide for new bloggers or bloggers who want to start making an income!
This is really helpful! Some of these I had heard of or used, some of them I havent! The issue I always have with sponsored posts is the fact it is against Google’s T&C’s to use follow links for paid promotions and generally that is what a sponsored post is looking for :/ I will have to look at some of these other platforms 🙂
Thank you for this! I have been researching ways how to monetise for a while. I’ve requested to join a couple of these already!
Very thorough review of the money options available to bloggers, I’ll head off and check them out, thanks!
I like your honesty and your generosity to offer such great advice for all of the bloggers who are looking to monetize their blogs. I never did sponsored posts myself but I’ll keep in mind this possibility. Thank you for sharing!
Some great tips here. I use google adsense and make roughly £20-£30 a month doing nothing. For afilate links I use skimlinks and amazon. Amazon I have only earned about £20 over the last few years with, skim links I make roughly £5-£10 a month with,
Thanks for the mention Ana, appreciate you. Glad to see your blog has grown to a business. Blogging is hard work but the results are so rewarding. You are doing a great job xx
Really useful post! I’ll be referring back to this in a few months’ time when my new domain starts getting movement on it’s DA score!
You really took a lot of time to be informative to your fellow and future bloggers. Living in the US, I always wonder how those in the UK make money blogging.
I personally find sponsored posts are where it’s at for making money and this is fab list of resources to help any blogger get to the next money making level!
Ana I found this so useful! My blog had over 350,000 visits in one day recently and yet I have not made a penny – time to focus and change things!!! Thank you
Your posts always have the best advice and tips! I joined Social Fabric last month and haven’t looked at the opportunities on there yet though (issues setting up the important section of my profile) but I can’t wait to monetize my blog, I started like you, it was just a creative outlet but now it’s my passion and why not make your passion your work if you can!
Ellie | http://www.scotchandstilettos.com
These are all really helpful tips. I’m looking to monetise my blog more too so I’ll check out the sites you’ve listed. I’m already signed up to AWIN and really like it, it’s so easy to use.
Lots of ways these days to earn money from blogging. First you have to make sure that you have a nice amount of posts in your blog before you start joining companies that will pay you to blog. These are amazing tips!
It’s not easy to monetise a blog but your hard work pay once you’re there. These are all great ways on how to do it.
My blog is an extension of my blogging business so that is the primary way I’ve made money from it. Lots of great ideas here. Congrats on the recent success.
Great post which has been very helpful for me as I want to try and make blogging a part time job. I was quite pleased that I’m already a member of most things you suggest so I’m
Heading in the right direction
Thanks for this great helpful post for turning the blog into money making business! It seems like it takes a lot of work, but I think it does worth it at the end!!
This is super informative! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m sure it will help a lot of blogging newbies or experienced bloggers who want to make it their main source of income!
You’ve literally covered everything and some I would never have thought of like affiliated schemes. I tend to not use my blog as a way of making money but this would be handy for those that do
Such an informative post. I’ve been making money from blogging however I’ve not heard of some of these affiliate schemes and agencies. I’d also love to be a VA but have no idea where I’d start.
I recently made a comeback to blogging and I’m only just starting to make an income from it again. Not enough to quit my day job but I’m slowly getting there. Thanks for sharing these tips and groups! I’m off to check them out. Happy blogging and all the best for the rest of 2017, hopefully soon you can say goodbye to your day job!
Great tips! I will certainly try to join few of groups mentioned above! Thank you for sharing
Well done Ana! Valuable information 🙂 Great post full of very nice tips! Thanks for sharing value with us! Amazing 😉 Keep it up
best of luck making money from your blog. I’ve been blogging for a long time. I’ve been blogging a long time but still don’t monetise I keep thinking about it but alongside full time work I can’t commit to it as well
This is wonderful information for anyone wanting to make their blog a career. My blog has really turned into my business and while it is work, I really enjoy it.
Book marked it Ana. Its great as usual and your honesty is touching as no one has been able to tell me up front how much to charge for a guest post/link so far. Its very hard work and I’ve been tempted to give up but your perseverance is reviving my enthusiasm.
Thanks for sharing these tips, Ana! I’m not at the money making stage yet, but that’s what I’m working towards. Right now, I need to improve my domain authority, as you suggested, and my SEO standing.
Much appreciated tips!
Thank you for sharing your incredible blogging knowledge! This is such a useful list.
I love this ! I didn’t understand monetizing either and I am glad I invested in myself and began to learn how I could monetize my blog also. ty for this post it is a great article for many people out there!
So happy for your success, hun! Have loved watching you grow as a blogger xo
I love your post. I just ended my first year and finally honed into my niche and have started to make some extra money. My plan is to continue on a path to become a full time blogger.
Indeed such a good read. Very informative especially for those who are starting. I also start my blog out of passion and now I am earning with it too.
This was really helpful thanks. I’m just starting to make money from my blog x
Lots of great points here, however with your blog engagement you should be charging a lot more than £200 a post.
This really really a great post! So many important and useful infos thank you! I was wondering about moving platform (Im on squarespace) and i think I will after reading your post. Ive been blogging for years (2010) but thought it was just a writing process (btw you forget to mention your meaningfull posts that I really love to read in your success 😉) now Im starting applying more things to boost my blog and Im really happy beeing in bloggers groups. So thank you and besides Im just happy get to know your blig through this way ✌🏻❤️
I read this article and found it really helpful. I’ve registered to the suitable platforms and hoping for a good response. Thanks for great suggestions and providing productive ideas.
I am using some of the resources you have written about in this post and they are so useful in finding brands to work with. I have actually registered as a self employed this month as well and i am really happy to have my own little business out of my blog. I think it’s a great step forward into financial independence. Of course, you need to always offer quality.
These are great tips! I have been blogging for four years, and only recently started making a profit. Wish I would’ve learned more about this when I first started
Very timely. I recently moved to a self-hosted platform but I am using the same domain so I was able to preserve my DA. I’m looking for more ways to monetize my blog apart from affiliate links. I’d like to put ads but I’m a bit wary because I don’t want to clutter my site.
What a very helpful and fantastic post. It will be of great help to people who starts to blog. Thank you for sharing.
These are some really helpful tips and advice! I have been looking at taking my blog to the next level and this will help me with this!
I’ve done really well in this department. However I am getting really tired of people not holding up their contracts, or paying on time etc. I am often wondering if its even worth bothering anymore, but then when the payments finally come it is, but it can be such a hassle to even get paid. So its hard to enjoy your business.
What a fantastic resource for bloggers looking to monetise from their blogs.
I’m focused on your words “interaction is key”. This has been my focus lately and I have been working hard to interact with my followers!
Interesting piece! Out of curiosity, how many monthly views did your blog have when you first started writing sponsored content?
Not many at all, I had 5,000 when I first got a sponsored post and that was because I had a high DA score. Hope that helps
There is so much scope in blogging and so many ways now that you can earn money. Great post, some new groups and sites to explore
Absolutely brilliant post Ana. I am a bit stuck on how to take my blog to the next level and this post is so helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Whilst I love writing my blog as a hobby, making money from it one day would be amazing. I thought I would start to look into ways of making money from it over the next few weeks so reading this post has been a bit help! I’m 9 months into blogging so am still learning!
Such a detailed post with great tips, thanks for sharing this, quite helpful
Omg so many great suggestions!!! I’m all about sponsored post. I live creating things. Way easier than ad money to me
That is a great round-up of sites. I have to admit that I am not signed up to many as I find they don’t pay very well but there is a few I haven’t heard of so will head off and check them out
Fab tips for monetising your blog Ana. The best thing I ever did was to go self hosted 🙂 x
Blog monetisation is always something on my mind. I have joined several of these groups. I’m so jealous of you living in the UK and I’m thinking that I’ll have to look into moving to London at some point (especially since I can get that ancestry visa through my grandma like I told you). I found this website https://atalantaworld.com where people can create and sell travel guides. It’s perfect for travel bloggers. I plan to make some in this next week and see how it goes. Well thank you for this. I plan to go through your list and sign up for all that I am eligible for.
I simply wanted to write and then the ads started to come in. Blogging is promising especially if you’re going to put a lot of effort it in. These are great tips, it’s nice to give the newbies an insight on how it usually works.
I’m still new to blogging and I’m not quite sure where to start. Thank you for the information it certainly helps.
I need to check some of those fb groups! Thanks for sharing it.
This was so helpful! I want to learn as much as I can about monetization and making money off my blog before I actually jump off the deep end and purchase my domain. This helped me put together all the pieces I need to have in order before I do so! Great post, thank you!
Thanks Ana, I appreciate you sharing these with us. Being over in Australia, I find it is tricky to find opportunities as many brands are looking for UK or US influencers. I haven’t heard of some of the international ones you mentioned so I’m planning to check those out 🙂
super list ana, should i say i am lucky to have your blog bookmarked and one i visit more, i think yes is my answer, thanks for this list as i will go over this again and again and hopefully i will get more of it this time for my blog.
When I started blogging back in 2012 I had no idea you make money from blogging. Now it’s my full-time job and I love being able to work doing something I love 🙂

I turned my blog into a business a fe years ago and I’m so happy I did. Now it’s a passion project that I love! The main ways I do it is to use networks and I pitch on my own.
This is so great ! i need to work on this alot. I am getting into Find Sponsored phase now to grow. Thanks its a lovely post for others to grow
I want to be good at this but I’m such a slacker. I know I have the potential though!
