Monetizing Your Blog with Digital Products

In our previous post, we talked about growing and monetizing your blog with the help of information products. Today we will be expanding more on the power of info-products while also exploring other easily-actionable and profitable monetization strategies to transform your blog into an online ATM.

Affiliate marketing is perhaps the most popular of all online-marketing models because of its outstanding profit potential along with ease in getting started. It’s really as simple as putting up affiliate links throughout your content.

There’s not a whole lot of work required on your part other than to grow your blog and generate traffic. When people buy through your affiliate links, you get a commission from the sale.

A very simple process which even newbies can implement. But rather than getting a percentage of sales, wouldn’t you much rather sell your own products directly to the consumer and receive 100% of the sale? Of course you would. So let’s explore how to go about maximizing your blog’s revenue potential.

Direct Selling of Digital Products

As we had talked about earlier, digital information products are massively popular. Online marketplaces like JVZoo and Clickbank are among the largest retailers of digital products. And many established marketers are singing all the way to the bank through these monstrous platforms.

Many product-creators who market their products through these digital retailers have a legion of affiliates promoting for them. That comes out to a tremendous amount of money when all is said and done.

Building an army of affiliates doesn’t happen quickly. It takes time and effort to build your brand and establish yourself as a trustworthy marketer to reach that point.

When you build a reputation of developing great products and network with the right people, you can build some very powerful and lasting relationships. That allows for more joint-venture opportunities which makes for a lot of additional revenue and promotion.

Product creation can also be quite a taxing project if you’re not a supremely skilled creator. Of course there are always freelancers and virtual assistants who can help with that.

But rather than going through the trouble of hiring people and building everything from scratch and spending so much time on the development side, why not take a shortcut and just sell what’s already available on the market and for a considerably less price?

Ease The Pain with PLR Products!

As we touched on earlier, having your own product nets you ALL the money and eliminates the middleman entirely. So rather than gaining a percentage of sales through your affiliate links, you can outright sell your own products.

The game has changed thanks to PLR products which saves marketers a lot of time and trouble in providing their audience with quality content. Private Label Rights really is the way to go as you simply purchase the license which gives you the freedom to both use and market the product as you wish.

Your blog can grow to become a real marketing machine over time which you can do almost anything with provided you have a targeted audience. You can sign up with Amazon’s affiliate program and sell Amazon products through your blog.

You can also sell private label rights products directly to your visitors as well. The easiest types of products to create are ebooks as you can write it all in a word processor, export it as a PDF and have it ready for market.

If writing isn’t your strong suit then using PLR ebooks are a fantastic alternative. Ebooks with private label rights are already expertly written and come with exceptionally attractive graphics and sales-letters.

You can put your name on the ebook as the author, change it up if you like, or just resell it as is for whatever price you choose. And if you want to really charge up your blog and turn it into a marketing empire, then you need to develop and market your own courses.
