Sponsored posts:

If you already have a good amount of traffic, then surely a lot of people like business people have contacted you wanting to propose business. This is also an excellent way to earn money and should not be discarded.

It is very simple to understand how it works, you will be paid by the contractor, which in this case can be a company to post articles. But you must be wondering. But what did they get out of it? The answer is quite simple, as this type of article is strategically created to help them get a lot more customers.

They can be in the form of posts with new products, reviews, even sales, among others. Who will write the articles will depend on the agreement with the contractor, so if they want you to create the content, our recommendation is that you charge a little more for the sponsored post.

We did a step by step so you can better understand how to use sponsored posts and make money using this business model.

Analysis and performance report:

So if you expect business owners or companies to pay for sponsored posts, logically they will want to know details about your blog.

For this reason, periodically make an updated report with its metrics, such as: number of daily and monthly visits, bounce rate, visits per page, among other data.

Offering your services:

At first, we recommend that you offer your services to local companies, this will increase your chances of getting more customers and making money faster.

So prepare an excellent online portfolio to present to potential contractors. Once you get local customers start looking for big companies. But never forget that the niches have to be compatible.

Negotiating prices:

Another tip is to use your website metrics report to stipulate an amount to be charged. And also try to base yourself on your degree of specialization. Take into account your effort and dedication to build your blog, from design to content creation.

Publishing sponsored posts:

Be very careful before publishing a sponsored article, as in many countries the law requires you to declare that you are making a sponsored post. And always match the style of the article with the sponsored post contractor.

Sponsored content is a great option to earn money, but on the other hand, doing it too often can decrease your traffic. For this reason, do it in moderation.

Affiliate Marketing:

Affiliate marketing is nothing new in Brazil, it has been around for many years and is probably the most common way to earn money on the internet.

He in turn even looks a little like sponsored posts. In this case, you will write an article in which you will be benefiting a company or a producer (person who creates products).

Another difference is in the form of remuneration, in affiliate marketing you receive commissions generated from the affiliate links that you will place in strategic places in your article. So if the visitor clicked on the link and made the purchase, the commission is yours, but if he just clicks and does not buy, you will not receive anything for it.

The commissions offered by affiliate marketing platforms are the best on the market, and for that reason you should learn more about the affiliate market.

A very important detail that we cannot fail to mention is that you must choose products on affiliate platforms that are in the same niche as yours. A way to not leave your visitors confused.

And also try to use a WordPress plugin to measure clicks on links, so you'll know if your visitors are actually clicking on links. Our recommendation is to use the Shortlinks by Pretty Links plugin.
