Best Way to Make Money Blogging

I want to share with you something that most do not know. Before I started this blog I sewed baby bedding. I did!
I owned Hudson Baby Company and the business was doing really well. After selling on a ecommerce site for two years I figured out I wanted to make passive income. I was tired of always sewing.
I learned after months of slow sales that I was doing so many things wrong. I was so caught up in Instagram thinking I would make a lot of sales from there and wasn’t paying attention to the best platform for businesses, Pinterest.
Pinterest is free and they have proven that viewers are there looking to buy.
After learning and researching I dove in and man was it a success. I just sold that business for 5 figures! I never would have had the success if I hadn’t read an ebook on how to make money on Pinterest.
Enter in my blog Hudson Farmhouse. Without it, there is no way I could have sold that business because I need to pay my bills (argh dang bills). One of the ways I grew my blog is learning. I have done extensive research and am constantly researching new trends and ways to earn money.

That is what I wanted to share with you. That learning, at any stage in business, is never a bad thing. Keeping up on trends and learning the correct way to use platforms, like Pinterest, is how you will be successful and get paid to blog. I’m not talking little money either, I’m talking pay all of your bills and have some left over money!
So how do you do that on a blog (not an ecommerce site, see that below)?
I have found the best way to make money for my blog is affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting other people’s (or company’s) products. You find a product you like, promote it to others and earn a piece of the profit for each sale that you make.

My readers always ask me is it to late or too hard to make a living blogging?
My answer is still a resounding NO! I just started my blog in January of 2018 and am already making money at it! In fact, I think it’s even easier to get started now, with so many technical tools available to make the process easier, plus tons of training to help you start off on the right blogging foot.
Take the two things that get you paid for blogging 1) Pinterest and 2) Affiliate marketing and take your website to new highs. And the best way to master these is to learn how to the correct way. Learning the correct way will make it easier and more passive in the future.
But blogging training and courses can be expensive (especially if you aren’t making any money yet), so when I find a good deal, I want to tell everyone about it!
And boy, do I have something exciting to tell you about today!
It’s called the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit.
My favorite part of the bundle this year (besides my Pinterest ebook that’s included) is the great resources on affiliate marketing. I promise that you will learn so much, stuff that you can actually implement. Using these techniques you can make the cost of the bundle back quick!
The Genius Blogger’s Toolkit is a digital collection of trainings and tools to get you started on your blogging journey. It will give you step-by-step instructions to make your blog successful in 2018 and beyond.
Curious what it includes?
When you buy the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit, you’ll get access to:
- 15 eBooks

The best thing about this bundle is that the affiliate ebook included is worth the purchase amount by far. You combine that and my Pinterest for Business ebook and you are on the road to success. Both are included plus a ton of other great things to learn how to blog and grow a business.
Only bummer is the Genius Bloggers Toolkit is only available until October 15th.
