The Ultimate Guide to Finding Sponsored Blog Posts
There are four primary ways to make money from your blog:
- Ad networks
- Affiliate marketing
- Private advertising
- Selling your own product or service
One option for private advertising on your blog is to write and publish sponsored posts. A sponsored post is a post you publish on your own blog (or on social media) that a brand pays you for.

Review of Money-Making Mom by Crystal Paine
