How To Become A Blogger And Earn Money As A Student

Some of the successful bloggers did not even finish a degree but they are earning a great deal from it. Now if you are a student, that should inspire you a lot and encourage you to dream big, right?

This is why I am so thrilled to write this content for you to learn how to become a blogger and how you can make money from blogging while you are still studying at school. I know this sounds great because we all want to gain some extra bucks, so here goes:

BLOGGING 101

1. The first thing you need to learn is how to set up your own page or WordPress blog. There are a lot of tutorials out there that can make your life easier that even without a technical background, you would be able to set up your own blog page just fine.
2. You need to have a plan. If you want to make money through blogging, then you need to understand that it is not just talking about yourself and likes. A blogger knows how to reach out to his audience, identify their needs and wants so you can offer them something of value. Content calendar can be of great help when it comes to planning and strategizing your content for a specific period of time.
3. Lastly, be a creative thinker and doer. As a student, chances are your resources will be limited. Take this as a challenge to think of innovative ways as to how you can still deliver amazing offers and results to your target market.

EARN FROM YOUR BLOG

After knowing the basics of being a blogger, let’s dive in to the practical ways on how to make money blogging even if you are still a student.

• Offer Your Services

First off, the list on how you can earn through your blog is by offering your services. Start from where you are and what you have – yourself and your abilities. Examine yourself and recognize your strengths so that you can capitalize on them.

If you write about certain topics, design shirts, create social media banners and a whole bunch of other services then go ahead and be bold to sell them. Do not be afraid to get yourself out there, you need not a thousand people to be your clients right away. A few would be ideal to start with.

• Sign-up for Affiliate Marketing

One other thing you can try is to do affiliate marketing. It involves selling other people’s items through your blog. You get a commission for every sale that was made through your page and some bloggers earn a good deal from it. Find companies or products related to your niche and connect with them.

• Start Small with Your Followers

I know this may sound a little off to you but trust me, this works. Do not think of making your blog to get big in a week’s time because you just might be stumbling on a lot of blocks later on. Blogging is not magic. Focus rather on gaining your first 10-50 subscribers and be connected with them. You can find them through social media and from there, get engaged.

Learning about your followers’ pain points, needs and wants will make it easy for you to offer solutions through products and services. And that’s how you make a sale, or make money blogging later on. Once you have developed good relationship with your first few subscribers, they will rave about you and suggest you to join in their inner circle. And that is why it matters to begin building your tribe in small numbers so you get to convert them into raving customers and loyal followers.

FINAL THOUGHTS

One must keep in mind that monetizing a blog page does not happen in a blink of an eye. It requires a lot of hustle and you have to manage your time properly. Again, you are still a student and no one wants unsettled requirements or failing grades at the end of the school year. So learn to have a blog-study-life balance.

I hope you have learned how to become a blogger even as a student and how you can earn from it with this article. If you have some questions feel free to connect with me and I would be delighted to give light to some of them.
