Monetizing a blog to make money is not a complex process. For high traffic blogs, its even more simpler because it makes money from any source or methods. Yes, if you run Ads or sell an affiliate product, it works well and you will see better conversions easily. Because your blog gets more number of visitors every day and the chances of making money is also more. Its the de facto that more traffic yields more income.

But for a beginner, for a new blog, this is not the case. Your blog gets only low traffic and in that situation, how to make money ? First of all, is it possible to make money in that situation with low traffic ? Yes but you have to play a bit of wiser role. Lets see them in detail.

Keep Expectations Aside.

It is common that new bloggers have more expectations especially in making money from their blog (than getting traffic). They don’t even write useful blog posts, and in a week or month, they will get frustrated and they will quit blogging. Because they are not seeing any income.

Keep in mind that blogging is a long term process (in most cases) and it takes time to pick up. What i am saying, keep reasonable expectations and work towards achieving them. Don’t expect too much of income in the earlier stage of blogging. Instead, focus towards constant blog growth.

Low Traffic Into Targeted Traffic.

A blog with low traffic is not a bad scenario but a blog with no Targeted traffic is worser than anything. If your blog gets less 100 targeted visitors then good enough to start monetizing. Because your income depends on how targeted visitors are coming to your blog.

• For example, you are writing about “finance” and the visitors coming to your blog are looking about “fashion”. Do that makes sense ? So targeted traffic is the quality traffic and not quantity.

How to get such targeted traffic ?

There comes the keywords, you have to use the right keywords which are more tied to your topic. Be focused in your blog and stay in the topic. Whatever you write, make it more specific to your blog around the same keywords. Over a period of time, your blog will become information rich on that topic and related keywords.

This way, you will get search traffic which means real visitors to your blog. In the earlier stage, if you get at least 100 visitors then its a good point to start monetizing your blog. Learn these Long term methods to get more blog traffic.

• Pop ups and impression based advertising requires high traffic. Because its all based on the number of visitors coming to your blog and every impression counts. On a low traffic blog, it performs poor. Avoid them.
• Selling Ad space doesn’t works. For example, if you get into BuysellAds.com you don’t get an advertiser because your blog has less traffic, less readers and lesser ranking. No one will advertise with you.

High Priority Methods.

For a low traffic blog the following are the best methods which converts good:

• Selling Affiliate Products works out because you are getting targeted traffic which means more chances of sales. But that too depends on the niche and for what keywords your blog gets traffic. Start with Clickbank.com or CJ.com and pick 1-2 products which are closely related to your blog topic. At least, you will get 1-2 sales every month. You could make 25-100$ per month.
• Referral Based Promotion converts well on a low traffic blog. These involves referring visitors to take a free sign up or offering free downloads. Every successful offer earns you at least $1 and if you make 100 successful offers, your blog earns 100$. You could join RevResponse.com which is a similar program which offers free downloads to your visitors.
