Cryptocurrency, a digital asset that is designed to work as a means of exchange and uses cryptography to secure transactions (i.e. sending, receiving, and verifying the transfer of assets), has been one of the hot topics today. Particularly, because it makes it easier to transfer funds between two parties with minimal processing fees (as opposed to the steep charges of most banks and financial institutions for wire transfers) and along with its impressive security; it has immediately gained the interest of and popularity among financially-inclined individuals, particularly the investors.
Booming in 2017 and at present is continuously gaining an undeniably significant growth, it has become a focal point of a large number of audience and the mainstream media. Because of the hype, a lot of blogs, forums, and social media trends that are dedicated to the cryptocurrency market have started to emerge – in which you and your blog might be included (the very reason why you are here).
However, not only because of a huge number of audience that blogging is a smart and viable thing to do; but also, because you can earn your own cryptocurrency through it.
Interested? Then this is the guide for you.
Choose a niche topic.
Blogging is easy if you know the right thing to do – and that includes finding and choosing a niche topic.
Before even paying for the domain, hosting, and other stuff needed to create a website; a well-defined goal and target will save you and your penny. It will help you to be more prepared when adding content to your website, which means that you do not have to do the reinventing and choosing of topics that haven’t been written before. Instead, having something that is original enough will already generate traffic and revenue.
But how do you do this?
First, you have to create a connection between you and your audience. Provide something that other blogs in your niche do not, solve the problems that others gloss over, and/or hone in on the industries that interest the readers and advertisers in particular. Also, it might be a good idea to post consistently so that your audience/readers can expect when to hear from you.
Monetize your blogs with advertising networks.
Going with advertising networks can actually work fine when making money through blogging. There are many ad networks available and suitable for whatever you are planning to build. Majority of them work by providing a snippet of code for placing on your blog and when someone clicks through one of the ads, you will be rewarded with some cryptocurrencies.
There are others, however, that have market pricing. You’ll have to set your budget and go through an auction process to get the best price.
Some have rapid sign up processes for those who want to monetize their blogs within seconds. After signing up, cryptocurrency-making ads will be on your site instantly. Plus, because personal information is not required; you can secure your anonymity.
On the other hand, cryptocurrencies such as Narrative cryptocurrency which aims to “democratize the way users are paid for the content they create, allows all users and companies (i.e. influencers, moderators, creators) to post content and receive rewards afterward.
Put up some paywalls.
This strategy is probably one of the most famous and widely utilized on the internet – especially in the online newspaper industry where there is only certain number of free articles before the readers start paying.
One of the good options, as well, is putting a paywall for premium content. Mostly, blogs use this strategy to give away all their content for free. However, this often requires a membership.
Answer questions!
Perhaps the easiest way to monetize your blog is to answer questions and earn crypto money through the process. Although technically, it is not considered as blogging – it, however, allows you to practice your writing and being paid for your efforts.
