2. Sell an ebook

Or sell any informational or non-informational products for that matter. But selling an ebook through a blog is one of the most lucrative monetization strategies being used today by bloggers. It’s also relatively easy to do. You just write an ebook that you think your audience wants to buy and sell it on your blog.

3. Promote affiliates

This is another great option to generate income. You look for affiliate programs that you believe can really help your readers. You sign up to their program and recommend them on your blog using an affiliate link. If your readers buy the product or service, you will get paid.
