Offer Exclusivity

Once your blog has an established readership, you can expand your income-generating opportunities further by offering memberships to your website.

People can pay a yearly or monthly amount to gain access to exclusive content on your blog, to participate in forums, or to receive a monthly newsletter from you.

Starting a members-only portion of your blog lets your readers feel special while it makes you some extra money.

The most important thing to remember when starting your blog is that you won’t become a millionaire overnight. Many bloggers are excited to bring in just a few dollars a month.

It takes a considerable amount of focus and dedication to your blog to turn into a project that generates a significant amount of income.
