 Let’s break this down and am accompanying real examples to understand better. Here is how you can make passive income blogging at the comfort of your home.

1.       Affiliate marketing

Every blogger dreams of getting some passive income from their blog. Now, one of my best here is choosing affiliate marketing. One may be asking what affiliate marketing is? Well, this is recommending digital products, services, or any physical product by companies in exchange for a commission. Most of the bloggers make a lot of money off recommending products or services, for example, John Dee Dumas of EOFire made over $710,835 in affiliate marketing in 2019. So you can imagine how much money is made from only affiliate marketing. With over a million companies in the world looking for potential customers for their products or services, they are looking for you to help refer their products or services to their potential consumers. This means that affiliate marketing gigs are very many for you.

2.       Sell courses online.

Many bloggers make money through their blogs online when they sell a course. This does not only apply to business-focused blogs or finance but, you can monetize any blog despite its niche with courses, for example, ladies like Maria Killam an interior design blogger have monetized her blog with courses. 

Online courses and workshops can fetch in a lot of income depending on your model basing on payments via subscription.

3.       Sell books online.

A couple of writers have decided to carry forward their blogging success to concentrate on publishing deals. In this contemporary world of internet and technology error, self-published books have become a success. The most known success story among bloggers is defiantly James Altucher Choose Yourself which is now sold over 500,000 copies. Therefore, incorporating books into your blog is not a waste of time. So, give it a try.

4.       Advertising

class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">Running Ads on blogs or websites is the new trend but, it needs one to have millions of views or a huge amount of traffic that visits their blogs to be taken seriously by a couple of companies to strike a deal. Affiliate marketing is most profitable yet just passive. When you strike a deal to work with a brand and you offer them space to advertise on your blog, you walk away with some good money.

That being said, I want you to know that some niches are hard to monetize with yet they get many page views. The best way to get that money is through striking deals with brands and fix Ads on your site to generate some supplementary income source. Always start with Google AdSense then you can later move with Ad networks like AdThrive and medicine. 

5.       Freelancing.

Doing for someone something pays more than just guiding them on what to do. That being said, freelancing enables you to make more money than anything else but, very time-consuming and tiresome at the same time.

A couple of bloggers have very low page views but keep publishing six-figure income reports and you keep on wondering, How come? Let me break it to you today. The simple answer is that they establish their blogs as leading mechanisms to get clients to write for. It’s very lucrative no wonder successful bloggers still do it too.

If you're a freelance writer, photographer, or website designer whose skills can be sold digitally. All I can say is that, give it a shot and see its outcomes.

6.       Consultation gigs.

Now, this may not everyone's cup of tea but, offering consultation services online can fetch you a good amount of money regardless of the size you're working with. Once you have expertise in a certain field, let it be finance, blogging, fashion, or even baking cakes, you can come up with an innovative design to do consultations for money.

You can make this work in any field you have passion in or expertise. All it takes is you to know what you’re doing and be confident with the value you’re giving your clients. 

7.       Teach online.

If you want to make some good passive income online, always aim at providing a solution to a problem people are facing. Therefore, teaching a language for example English or Spanish could be an answer a person is searching for online. You can decide to teach people English on your blog through blog posts or you can decide to partner with companies like EF, an online teaching company. Where you could earn up to $2000 per month teaching people making it a pretty wonderful side hustle or full-time job.

VIPKID is another wonderful service that connects North American teachers and tutors with students from china for one on one English lessons. This is a lucrative side hustle online too.

8.       Sponsored posts.

Being paid for to do something you love is one of the most beautiful things ever. Brands pay bloggers who have great blog traffic to write about them or their products or services in exchange for money just for a single article or even a couple of those about them (Brands or Companies)

Lifestyle bloggers like fashion, recipes, or fitness usually get such opportunities because they write or work with products. It doesn't matter what kind of niche you write about. What matters most is you writing about the quality content that people are looking for.

9.       Speaking opportunities.

People blog about different topics online due to different reasons. Some people write because of passion and some write because of the expertise they have in that field. The more one writes about his or her niche, the more research and better they become the more trust they attract from their readers.

In the process, one is invited to different events to talk by maybe giving them some tips on financial freedom or healthy eating and given money in exchange for their services. Being considered as an expert about your hobby you write about gives one the best feeling ever.

10.   Collaborations.

Creating a personal brand takes time, energy, and enough search. Bloggers who are well established in terms of good blog views or traffic must have expertise in that field or write amazing, well-researched content. So, how does one make money here?

Beginners at blogging or even those that have taken some time in the blogging game but failing to get noticed, partner with well-established bloggers to promote their blogs on their sites. This is done either through PR posts or links. How can one's blog be promoted through a link?

Well, a well-established blogger with good blog visits or traffic places a link of a post from a smaller or new blogger on their blog post with a primary aim of people clicking on it and driving them to the other blog site. Collaborations are a very easy way to make money online too. Write, grow your blog, and collaborations or shoutouts will fetch you some good money.  

I would like to wrap it up from here by saying that, quality attracts quality. So, create problem-solving content that will attract people to your blog, and boom, you'll make the money.
