1. Make money as a content writer<\/h3>\n
Content writing<\/strong><\/a> involves planning and writing content for online channels. It is usually part of a digital marketing strategy<\/strong><\/a> and can include writing a wide range of content types including articles, blog posts, posts for social media, and scripts for videos.<\/p>\n To become a content writing specialist, you’ll need to develop a variety of skills and meet certain qualifications. This includes:<\/p>\n If you want to work for a company you should plan on having a college degree, usually in journalism, marketing, or communications. College degrees are less important as a freelancer.<\/p>\n Whether you work independently or with a company, obtaining different content marketing certifications can help boost both your skills and reputation.<\/p>\n There are plenty of content marketing courses<\/strong><\/a> both free and paid that you can use to get certified.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also good practice to start your own blog<\/strong><\/a>. This will allow you to further develop your skills and can serve as a selling point when looking to secure a job or freelance clients.<\/p>\n How much money can you make as a content specialist?<\/strong><\/p>\n It depends on the job position and a number of other factors. For example, if you work in a company, the\u00a0average base salary for content writers is $3,509 per month.<\/p>\n If you work as a content marketing freelancer, you can get paid per piece (per article, etc). You can charge anywhere between $0.10 and $0.50 for each word you write. The exact rate depends on the type of content and your level of expertise on the subject.<\/p>\n You can also build the necessary skills and become a content marketing specialist. In this case, the average salary for a content marketing specialist is $81,000 per year. This number will vary based on your location and level of experience.<\/p>\n Resources to become a content professional<\/strong><\/p>\n SEO<\/strong><\/a> is one of the most important areas of digital marketing to master as it can be useful in a variety of different roles.<\/p>\n As an SEO expert, you can sell your services to clients less versed in the matter.<\/p>\n To become an SEO expert<\/strong><\/a>, you’ll first need to understand the fine details of how search engines work.<\/p>\n After that, you need to begin developing your SEO skills. There is no shortage of SEO material on the web. It is recommended to find a high-quality SEO course<\/strong><\/a> as you can easily get lost sifting through the endless amount of articles<\/p>\n As your knowledge and skills begin to grow, you’ll want to get familiar with the popular SEO tools to help streamline the way you work.<\/p>\n SEO is constantly changing so it’s important to stay up to date on all the latest SEO changes and be able to adjust your projects accordingly.<\/p>\n To successfully sell your services, you’ll need to build a network of potential clients.<\/p>\n Create a website to provide your background in SEO and list your services. You can start a blog and put your SEO skills to work by driving targeted traffic<\/strong><\/a> to your site.<\/p>\n As you start to gain clients, you’ll want to keep detailed records of your results so you can create case studies you can use to win more business.<\/p>\n How much can you make as an SEO expert?<\/strong><\/p>\n The average hourly rate for SEO consultants is between $50 \u2013 $125. Prices vary per country and experience.<\/p>\n The average salary of an SEO manager<\/strong><\/a> working in an agency or company is $77K per year.<\/p>\n Resources to become an SEO professional<\/strong><\/p>\n Affiliate marketing<\/strong><\/a> is a business model where you earn commissions by making sales of other people’s products.<\/p>\n The process is straightforward. You find products you want to promote, create a website promoting those products, and drive interested visitors to your affiliate products.<\/p>\n There are two primary types of affiliate partnerships. Standalone programs where you establish an account directly with a company and affiliate networks where you can join and manage multiple partnerships on a single platform.<\/p>\n As your blog will be the primary way of promoting your affiliate products, it\u2019s important to perform keyword research before settling on a niche.<\/p>\n This way, you can see the monthly search volume for related terms and get an estimate for the amount of traffic you\u2019ll be able to generate.<\/p>\n You want to pay particular attention to keywords with transactional search intent. These are search terms<\/strong><\/a> that indicate someone is close to buying a product. They often include words like buy, get discount, etc.<\/p>\n Also, look for search terms with commercial intent. These keywords indicate that someone is in the buying process but hasn\u2019t decided on a specific product yet. They include words like best, review, product x vs product y.<\/p>\n Focusing on these keywords will help you monetize the traffic you bring to your website.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Once you have an idea of the types of products you want to sell, you\u2019ll need to create your blog and start writing content. Choosing the right keywords will make it easier to get started as you can find product comparisons and reviews to write for your initial posts.<\/p>\n While you can join affiliate programs before you start your blog, it\u2019s often a good practice to wait until you are receiving some traffic. After all, you will need the traffic to be able to generate sales anyway.<\/p>\n Plus, many affiliate programs have requirements for approval and may require that you already have an established audience.<\/p>\n How much can you make through affiliate marketing?<\/strong><\/p>\n Affiliate marketing has huge earning potential but you will need to establish your web presence and generate a good amount of traffic to your website to see meaningful results. Enrolling in a good affiliate marketing course<\/strong><\/a> will help you get results faster.<\/p>\n If you have the patience to build the business you can easily make six figures per year from affiliate marketing.<\/p>\n Once you have some digital marketing experience under your belt, you can monetize your skills by becoming a digital marketing consultant<\/strong><\/a> and start selling consulting services to other companies.<\/p>\n Take the following steps to get started:<\/p>\n Define your area of expertise<\/strong><\/p>\n First, you need to be able to define the specific services to offer clients.<\/p>\n Find the areas of digital marketing where you are strong and where there is a high demand for services.

Using your blog to write about digital marketing topics related to your consulting services will help drive relevant traffic to your business while further expanding your online presence.<\/p>\n Build a network<\/strong><\/p>\n The more you grow your network, the easier it will be to find new clients.<\/p>\n Use your professional network to find companies that could be interested in your services.<\/p>\n You can also reach out to previous clients to see if they have any connections looking for digital marketing services.<\/p>\n How much can you make as a digital marketing consultant?<\/strong><\/p>\n A digital marketing consultant’s fees will depend on their particular area of expertise, project scope, and level of experience.<\/p>\n Hourly rates tend to run between $50 to $150 per hour.<\/p>\n Running ads on your site is a popular way to monetize your website traffic.<\/p>\n Be aware, that to make decent money with ads your website needs to have a lot of traffic.<\/p>\n When you’re first building your audience, it’s a good idea to supplement your monetization efforts through affiliate marketing or by offering your own digital products.<\/p>\n There are many advertising programs available you can use to monetize your web traffic, the most popular being Google Adsense<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n When you sign up for Adsense and add the appropriate code to your website, Google will start serving ads on your web pages.<\/p>\n Your ads can generate revenue through views and clicks. However, Google pays very little for views, if anything at all.<\/p>\n The amount that you earn will vary significantly depending on your website category, audience demographics, and more.<\/p>\n Regardless of these factors, you need to plan to generate considerable traffic to see any meaningful income.<\/p>\n There are ad networks other than Google Adsense, with popular choices including Ezoic, Media.net, and Propeller Ads.<\/p>\n If your website is already getting a steady amount of traffic and you want more control over the ads that appear on your site, you can sell direct ads on your website.<\/p>\n Create an Advertise with Us” page for your blog detailing the different ad formats available and how much they cost. You’ll want to include important traffic stats so buyers know the value they are receiving.<\/p>\n If you don’t want to handle selling the ads yourself, there are several online marketplaces where you can list your ads for people to buy. Some popular options include BuySellAds and BlogAds.<\/p>\n How much can you make selling ads on your website?<\/strong><\/p>\n No matter the ad network you use, you\u2019ll need to get 100,000s of page impressions per month to see any meaningful income.<\/p>\n Google AdSense RPM (revenue per 1,000 impressions) can range between $0.25 to $3.<\/p>\n Resources to learn more<\/strong><\/p>\n Working as a social media manager<\/strong><\/a> is a great way to use your skills to make money through digital marketing.<\/p>\n As a social media manager, you’ll look to grow a brand’s online presence through a variety of marketing tactics.<\/p>\n Your responsibilities can include everything from writing and scheduling posts, creating graphics, running ads, to replying to followers\u2019 comments.<\/p>\n There are several ways you can find work as a social media manager.
