Affiliate marketing is basically recommending another persons product through your blog and getting a commision whenever someone buy the product through your link on your site.

Sponsored posting is a situation where a company sponsors an article or some articles of your which are related or which advertize their products and services. They pay you for writing the articles in your site. It is another way of advertizing.

Advertizing is a situation whereby an individual, group, or company approaches you and pay you for putting up their banners and adverts in your site. Advertizing can be classified into many types such as sponsored posts, cost per click, pay per click, so so so on and so forth...

You might have heard of google adsense?... It is one of those.

Now Freelancing is the art of writing well researched articles on different topics for others and being paid for it. If you are good in writing and reshearching then freelance writing is for you. N.B. I said writing because that is the most popular, but Freelancing is not limited to writer. In fact freelancing is much bigger.

You can be a freelance web designer...

A freelance graphics designer...

A freelance programmer...

A freelance virtual assistant...

A freelance anything...anything... So far you render one service or the other in exchange of money.

You can join elance.com, odesk.com, freelance.com, among many others to get visibilty and work as a freelance.

Hope it helps you?...

I think authority blogging is the surest way to making money blogging. Authority or expert blogging is one in which the blogger earns the respect and trust of readers over time and solves people's problems by offering premium services/products.

This is different from traffic-based blogging, which relies on advert. Linda Ikeji, etc are traffic-based blogs and they earn money from advert revenue.

The downside of authority blogging is, it is not for everyone. In fact, only very few people can do it. Traffic-based blogging is easier, just get traffic to your blog and you make money from adsense etc.

I run a blog that is an authority in career matters. How did it start? I started by innocently giving free career tips on Nairaland here some 7 or 8 years ago, and I realized my opinions sat well with many readers, although I never knew it would one day become I can do independently. I realized this is a skill I can convert into a venture. In 2013, I decided to open my own independent platform, to be solely based on careers. That was what led to the birth of my own platform.

I opened JarusHub in March 2013, and it hit the ground running because of the reputation (authority) I had been able to build on NL careers section over time.

We don't get much traffic (just about 1000 pageviews per day) and we rank very low on Alexa, but because of the value of our content, readers come back everyday and we are able to have loyal following, in addition to people that find us while searching Google for answers to career issues.

Today, 2 years after, what started as a blog is now a full scale career consulting startup with staff and office, while I still maintain my day job.

While all the money we have made from the blog since inception is less than my one month salary in my regular day job, I'm happy that it has established itself as a go-to site for career stuff in Nigeria and we hope to do better.

Like I said earlier, authority blogging involves establishing yourself as an expert in a field and then going ahead to offer premium services/products relating to that field. Today, the blog has earned us authority on interview matters in Nigeria and we have traveled to other parts of Nigeria (Abuja, PH) just to coach people on interviews. This last weekend, we made almost 200k in 2 days.

What started as a blog is now a full scale startup with office and employee. That is what authority blogging can do.
