I have listed 8 methods on how to make money from a blog.
Google Adsense
Google AdSense is one of the best methods for bloggers to monetize the blog and earn money. YouTubers also use Adsense to monetize their youtube channel.
It is the best way to earn money by displaying advertisements shown by Google on your website pages and posts.
According to the Adsense, there are over 2 million users who are using Adsense. The more traffic your website gets, the more ads impression will be shown on your website and hence you will earn more money.
Adsense earning depends on many factors such as the country from which your website gets most of the traffic, daily page views, clicks on the ads, niche of your blog (like technology, food, education, etc.), targeted keywords, etc.

Affiliate marketing is another best method for making money from a blog. In fact, you can earn way more than Adsense if you follow the right steps, content, and plan to start a blog on affiliate marketing.

You can put the affiliate link in the content and if the user clicks and buy the product then you will get some commission.
Sponsored Posts
In this method, companies can contact you for paid writing and publishing the post on your website.
If you have a popular website/blog, then many companies can contact you for the sponsored posts to write a product/service review.
