How to start earning from your blog
There are many ways of earning from a new blog, affiliate marketing, AdSense, MGID and selling of products like gadgets will work for you, but I will advise you to pick AdSense and MGID.
Once you have created more than 20 high quality articles which do not contain gambling or adult content, apply for the two platforms. Your articles must be original and unique and each of them should contain more than 500 words. You should also use original images on your articles.
MGID will automatically approve your application but AdSense might take time. To apply for MGID,click on this link
The amount of money you’ll make from your blog
Both AdSense and MGID pays in terms of Cost Per Click(CPC) or Cost Per 1000 views(CPM). With 100,000 page views, you’ll earn over $150.If your blog gets over 1 million page views per month, your income will be upwards of $1,500. Your aim is to grow traffic past 1 million per month.
