How I Started Monetizing My Blog – First Steps to Earn Real Income Online
When I first started blogging, I had no idea how people actually made money from it. I was writing from the heart, but I quickly realized that in order to build real freedom, I needed to turn that passion into something profitable.
🧠 What I Learned About blog Monetization
There are several ways people earn money from blogs:
- Google AdSense – display ads that generate money per view or click
- Affiliate Marketing – recommending tools and products I love
- Digital Products – creating ebooks, templates, or guides
- Sponsored Posts – writing posts for brands
I chose to start with Google AdSense, because it’s the simplest setup.
💻 How I Set Up Google AdSense
I used the Site Kit plugin by Google on my WordPress site, which helped me:
- Connect my website to Google services
- Automatically place ad code on my site
- Track income and impressions in one dashboard
It was a little confusing at first, but once it was connected, it worked like magic.
🛠️ My First Income – Was It Worth It?
My first few days of income were small — only a few cents a day. But it made me realize: this is real. And if I keep writing helpful content and getting visitors, it will grow.
