Do you run your own blog, or maybe you're just starting your blogging adventure?
You've probably heard more than once about how bloggers can earn exorbitant amounts of money from their passion, and how over time such a passion can be turned into pure profits.
I will try to provide you with a handful of proven information and methods thanks to which I myself have already earned something on my blog ( I will not provide the amount, but it is a number plus 4 zeros in PLN ), and most importantly, I stopped contributing to it and all the costs and fees related to the blog were reimbursed.
Yes, it's all true, you can undoubtedly earn money on a blog, but before you start reaping real profits from the work you put into your blog and often also the funds you invest, you will have to make a lot of mistakes and minor failures, and it would be good to learn a few basic tricks to start with, which will allow you to avoid many mistakes and perhaps lead you along a less winding path straight to your intended goal.
I'm assuming that since you're here, you already have your own blog, perhaps your own paid domain, and some experience with setting up a blog, because this post is dedicated to those who already have their own working place on the web.
So, to the edge, earning money on a blog is a hot topic, you can do a lot, that's a fact, but I warn you in advance, not everyone and not right away. Therefore, if you are a beginner blogger, do not put everything on one card and do not expect that a fresh blog will immediately be a source of specific, stable income.
Now let's get straight to the point.
Below you will find a list of proven publisher programs, along with active links to the registration page. All you have to do is choose one or all, because that's how you can do it, and register, create an account, learn and accept the rules, generate your codes and paste them on your site, and the rest will take care of itself.
Google AdSense -money from blog
Google AdSense is the world's most popular global program that allows website and service owners, as well as YouTube channel owners, to earn money by providing advertising space.
In other words, you sign up for the program, provide the address of your website or channel, go through verification, accept the regulations, and you can start working together.
The process itself, from registering in the program, through verification, to the moment the first ad is displayed, can take up to several weeks, but the cooperation itself is technically simple and Google guides newcomers step by step, sending instructions on what, how and when to do it.
Once you get the "green light" and place the html codes generated in your AdSense account on your website, all you have to do is wait for the reaction from your readers and visitors to your blog. Of course, you need to make sure that the blog contains interesting and valuable content that will attract new users, who in turn are potential recipients of the ads displayed there. Each click on the ad banner generates profit, which you, as a publisher, share with Google. You get a percentage of what the advertiser pays Google for displaying their ads. And that's how it works in a nutshell.
Google is a platform that acts as an intermediary between advertisers (companies advertising online) and publishers (creators of websites, blogs, channel owners).
Google absolutely requires that you accept the regulations and follow the rules, so if you happen to break the rules, you will most likely be banned with a restriction on displaying ads for some time, usually up to a month. If after this period the ads are resumed and you break the regulations again, you can expect your account to be closed, and this is logical, but ... well, there is one but, Google will not tell you specifically what rules you broke and what happened, so if you did not generate clicks yourself, did not ask friends to click on ads, you can also be banned and you have to deduce why yourself, because you will not learn it from Google.
I have met many such resentful publishers online, whose accounts were suddenly closed, their payments suspended, and no specific example was given to explain the reason. Google is a giant monopolist and has written its regulations in such a way that you basically have no chance of pursuing your rights. You can appeal this decision to Google, but only once and rarely is such an appeal considered positively, and you only get a laconic answer that they understand your bitterness, but for the good of the program environment they are sticking to their decision. And that's it.
It's a sad thing, but don't despair!!!! The world doesn't end with Google AdSense, although it is one of the largest services of this type, and can quickly bring real profits, watch out, because this monopolist really knows how to take advantage of small publishers and, without any explanation, close the account at the most unexpected moment, taking the money earned on the advertising space you provided.
If you read various Internet forums, you will certainly meet many such resentful bloggers with whom Google suddenly ended cooperation, depriving them of their final payment in the range of 1 thousand to several or even a dozen or so thousand dollars.
Yes, such stories have been happening for a long time, and because Google is a giant on the market, no one, alone or even preparing a class action lawsuit, has dared to go to war with it and sue it for using bad practices. Although more or less verified information about how "Big Google" treats smaller publishers is appearing more and more often on the web, and perhaps we will soon see a class action lawsuit.
You can read about the mega scandal on this topic in an article from the Rynekdomen website or if you speak English fluently you can read the original allegations that were anonymously revealed by a former employee of the corporation . The accusations that are made there and the number of people who complain on various internet forums about the unjustified closure of their AdSense accounts are thought-provoking.
Therefore, I sincerely advise you not to base your blog monetization strategy solely on the American monopolist, but to immediately get to know other alternative programs and smaller services that may not offer such high rates per click, but also do not suddenly end cooperation, leaving themselves, in other words, stealing the money you have earned.

Some bank campaigns have really high rates, sometimes much higher than those on Google AdSense.
The four platforms I have tested above bring me some profit every day, although this blog is not my permanent source of income, and I will honestly admit that while I am running it as a hobby, I am not very systematic and I do not focus on generating huge revenues because it does require time, which I do not have much of at the moment, because my time is currently consumed by full-time work and other profitable projects, but I already know that there is potential in the blog and that if I ever come to develop these passions, I will always earn something from it.
I wish you good luck, don't give up, follow your goals and dreams!
