Most bloggers want to make money quickly, so bad that they forget building a brand!
The newbies are in it for the wrong reasons. Some are not even passionate about it.
I have seen people trying to build a brand here on NL, example is naijasingles blogger girl.
Build a strong brand and all other things will follow.

sup old timer! Only one deep in the game understand what building brand means and that comes with building an effective system!

Exactly! Blogging is like any other business. Once you brand it accordingly, you would never want to "tint" your brand with poor Google Ads. I don't know if you've heard of online entreprenuers (This is the right term because these ones are not just bloggers) like Niel Patel, Jon Morrow, Ramsey of Blog Tyrant, Darren Rowse, Ramit Sethi, etc. These guys make millions from their blog without displaying any ads on the blog. Some Nigerians are focusing on branding as well, people like Chioma Anozie of SimplyQuintessential, Bamidele Onibalusi of WritersInCharge Jason Nwachukwu of BlogVerve are doing pretty well too.

Buildinga brand comes with effective system in place. Many aren't doing it the real way.

Those blogs you referred to have back end products that they sell.

Too many shaoling of fishes in Nigeria's blogosphere.

For me its adsense all the way though I still make use of local and international product promotion. But my adsense account brings in over $12000 dollars monthly for me

talk2hb1:

Why did you think the like of Seun, Linda Ikeji dropped Google Adsense?

I thought Linda used Google adsense?

hehehehe. well, I am no blogger but I strongly believe in building a strong brand.. that was what Apple did and yet they are the least innovative amongst the trio: other two being Microsoft and Google. Who could do without those two in the cooperate world and life affairs?

You can just use AdSense to have a taste of blogging income as a starter, but when your authority grow with time, it will be foolish not to explore selling your own products and other Ads/promotions

yeah. Building a brand isn't easy per se but that's where the taste of your passion comes in.

You're lying.

Adsense does not often connotes Google adsense in the sense you percieve it.

Policewoman:

she doesn't use it much. Just two on both sides. The rest are personal ads.

You're lying.

why should I lie over nothin could have posted my earnings here but it is against google rules and I made a recent withdrawal

lol you sound like a typical white man

ramalot:


Posting an image of your earnings dashboard is a TOS violation, and is like begging Google to shut down your account.

When they do, I bet you'll start a topic titled "Google is racist against black bloggers, and closed my account for no reason."

A very good piece. How to get those affiliate links for serious money making on one's blog? And again is it possible to have both the affiliate links and google AdSense running on a blog to to make money without one affecting the other?

Google adsense banned me recently with $3000+

BEST ADSENSE ALTERNATIVE FOR BLOGGERS/PUBLISHERS
As a blogger I know how difficult it is to dedicate time to create rich contents for your readers. When it comes to monetizing your website/blog through Adsense then Google begins to act funny by rejecting many applications even after several trials. Actually Google only approves about less than 1% of the applications they receive. As a concerned publisher, I’ve found two reliable alternatives to Adsense (actually there are hundreds of them) but these two are very rewarding. Its what I use to monetize this blog and I can say their services are excellent. Their application process and payment is very easy. They are Infolinks and PopAds;
Infolinks: Infolinks is a Pay per click advertisement network that allows you to make money through your blog based on specific keywords. Infolinks indexes your pages and automatically add some hyperlinks in your text. It is a good alternative to Adsense. They can pay you via PayPal, Wire Transfer, Check, Western Union, ACH and Payoneer and there’s an initial limit of $50. Infolinks is great for big websites and it works in English, Spanish, French and German websites. Start using Infolinks and sign up as a publisher here.

It still amaze me why it took so long before he implemented his personal ads serving platform (Maybe he's not business wise). When you have a site like nairaland, the only way to make money is by creating ads space, he is still missing out on some other methods anyway, he should have premium section for business people, he should also allow sticky post when you buy the spot. SEUN!!! Hire me as your CFO.

You don't divulge info like that next time. Your 2 points could have fetch you thousands of naira if properly used

No, it's not difficult to make decent income from affiliate marketing. The key is to target the right audience and you will earn enough to cater for your bills. If you promote a product that would benefit your audience, you don't need a thousand pageviews to earn good income, as a matter of fact, when it comes to affiliate marketing, the fewer and targeted the audience is, the higher your income.

Take for instance you're promoting a hosting account product, and your blog is about "blogging", if you write an evergreen post on how to set up a blog with comprehensive guide on setting up a hosting account, you would agree with me that a newbie would prefer to follow your affiliate link to set up his/her hosting account, then searching for hosting company online.


If you know your onions, creating your own product won't be a difficult task, and promoting it won't be difficult as well. All you need is to gain the trust of your audience, and you would have a stable source of income, compared to gaining Google trust. When you rely on Google; every update will give you hyper/hypotension, because you have no idea what animal will hit you this time around; penguin, panda e.t.c.

Yes! You can make cool money from sponsored post as well, check the picture attached, that a sample, and I get about three or four of this request per month. Now tell me, how many bloggers earn $500 per month from adsense without busting their assss?

Well I am not saying its impossible to make money with your methods I was just saying its more difficult than adsense, I am still to find a better paying ad network than this.

I know you and the few that might get it right in those methods but the average blogger will always make more on adsense

In my opinion adsense is not as bad as some people make it to be. So far so good it's still the easiest and quickest way to make money online from your blog. All the big blogs that are even doing direct ads still have adsense on their blog. With a decent traffic and been able to optimize your adsense ads in the right position, you can be able to make money through adsense.
Selling an affiliate product is a good way to monetize your blog but it really depends on your niche and how well you are able to pitch the product to your readers. You need to be a good sales person to make money from affiliate.
Sponsor post is also an effective way to make money but you need to have a popular blog with heavy traffic because any person that is willing to pay you for a sponsor post would want to get the maximum benefit for he / her money. The same thing applying to direct ads.
Adsense is still a good way to monetize your blog especially if you are still growing your traffic.

when you give disadvantages of using adsense, you failed to give disadvantages of using affiliate links.like some one said, you can have 500 clicks to an affiliate link but no single action taking, so its also a waste of traffic and increase in bounce rate.

When making points, you made it seems like affiliate marketing is cheap and easy, you did not give disadvantages of using them also.just take it, adsense is just one among the thousand ways money making scheme and so as affiliate.they are both money making scheme one can use to monetize their site.


Affiliate links works best on a niches site.no need discouraging one to use adsense if they have it.

Pop under rocks and you don't get banned like adsense.
