You can start to make some money, even if it’s just a little bonus each month, in a large range of online services these days. Even for the non-technical people out there, online stores are easy to set up with the introduction of sites and services like WooCommerce, Vinted, and Shopify.

We detail in this post a variety of ways that any normal blogger can make money online.

Google Adsense
Everyone will start with Adsense as its the most well known and simple to use. But is it the best?
It is very simple to signup for Google Adsense and then to setup on your website. If approved, you will immediately ad serving and you will start to earn from your website.
Google has strict policies, so it’s important to follow their guidelines carefully.
Pros
- Simple sign up
- Very easy to setup on your website
- Access directly to Google’s large ad serving
Cons

Ezoic
Ezoic is a great platform that uses new AI technology for advertising. It automatically tried all sorts of different positions for their adverts and then start to serve them in the best locations based on your set preference for revenue or user experience.
Don’t expect immediate results, stick with it for at least 6-10 weeks to allow the system to understand your website, the layout of your website, the placeholders on your website and the way your visitors navigate around your website.
If you are a blogger, business or website owner, you may want to reconsider using ad platforms like Google Adsense and take up using Intelligent AI advertisement. Some publishers report increased revenue after optimisation, but results vary.
We have been using it for over two years now and have made massive increases in our ad income. The good thing is with Ezoic is that the entire setup can be customized to how you want to have it setup. Only want a few ads to show to increase your user experience, or want to push out a few more for revenue growth? The options are all available to you.
Stop being restricted by what Google Adsense offers you – Ezoic is a Google Adsense partner so you get their ads, but as well as another 200+ partners – all bidding to get ads on your site meaning you make more money!
Not only do Ezoic serve ads for you, there is also the options for excellent page caching, new templates for your website, analytics and extra security.
This really isn’t a sales pitch, I don’t work for Ezoic but I have used them for around three years now and it is worth the try at the very least – plus its all free so why not!?
To sign up for Ezoic and give them a go, just click the banner below and click on the Start Free Trial button when you get to their website.
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is another age-old way of many money on the internet. Some people have made millions on the internet using affiliate marketing. We have tried affiliate marketing in the past, but due to the nature of our site, we don’t sell anything so trying to sell our visitors something doesn’t really sit well. We simply do not have the platform on our site to make money online with affiliate marketing.
However, if you have a blog where you get plenty of returning uses, or if you are an influencer and your visitors trust you or even if it is something else for you to sell, then there are endless sellers that will offer you the chance to affiliate market for them.
You should also look into services that everyone uses, just like the internet where you can compare broadband deals and save money – everyone has the internet these days so become an affiliate for a broadband provider.
I won’t go into a massive list of affiliate marketers – just go to Google and search for affiliate marketing – but these are some of the ones that we have had some success with in the past:
CD keys
CD Keys are an online entertainment seller. Basically, they sell CD keys for software, games and memberships for things like Xbox Live and Playstation memberships – all at a much-reduced price.
I’m no longer an affiliate for CD-Keys but if you go to their website, at the bottom of the screen you will see an affiliate link to register and signup.
Ezoic
You can also become an affiliate for Ezoic. If you sign up to an Ezoic account by clicking on the banner below, you can then no only use their system for your own adverts if you want, but you can also become an affiliate for them. Just click below to proceed:

Web Hosting
There are billions of websites out there which means that there is strong competition for web hosts to get your business. We had been with TSO host for a number of years and to begin with they were great. However they got sold off and the customer service deteriated very quickly to the point where we moved host.
We signed up with SnappyHost and they have been absolutely brilliant. Not only has their customer service and onboarding been absolutely first class, but their costs are much lower than most hosts and server speed is great. The also use Google Cloud Platform from just £2.99 a month.
They also offer an afiliate program where you can sell on their services, just click the image below to sign up:
Coupons
Honey
If you want to try and save money, then there is a well known browser extension called Honey. You simply install the browser extension and when you get to any online store checkout, it will automatically search for coupons for that site that you can use.
You can get the browser extension for free and sign up using your Twitter, Google, Facebook or email account.
Just click this link to sign up and install.
Blog Posts
Sponsored Posts
If you have an established blog then you may start to get emails from SEO companies wanting to post on your website to advertise their clients articles or products.
This is fine but you need to be careful and ensure that any articles are in line with the niche of your site. Some outreach emails may offer very low rates or low-quality content – always vet opportunities carefully.
The truth is that their articles are poor quality and they have plenty of budget to work with – so don’t fall their low budget rubbish. Also ensure that you carefully review any sponsored posts and that you are happy to post it on your site.
Something you should also keep in mind is don’t post on your website that you allow sponsored posts or add your fees as this will put off potential customers. If your blog is good enough, they will come to you.
Flyout
Following on from the above, you can actively search out and sign up for sponsored posts as there are websites out there that you can sign up with and they will find clients for you.
One of these that is pretty good is called FlyOut.io. They allow you to setup all your rules and costs for sponsored posts and then they go and find clients for you. Again, this is a free service.
To check them out, just click the link below:
Ad Space
Custom Advertising
Once you do have an established website, then your webspace will become more valuable. This means that you can sell areas of your website for advertisement banners. You would set the prices yourself and can agree the terms and conditions with any clients that you might get.
Social Media
Influencers
As most of you probably know already, Social Media Influencers have appeared from nowhere to now being everywhere and they really are in a position to make money online!
Sounds simple, but when you think about how many social media accounts there are out there, there is probably less than 1% that can actually make a living from it.
However, it is possible, so try and build up your social media following and maybe you or your brand can become internet famous!
Product Reviews
There are also websites out there where you can sign up and apply for reviewing products on your website. There are two that we have used before, however it is pretty difficult to get accepted.
Tomoson
We have found Tomoson the best place to look for things to review. They have an absolutely huge range of things that you can review depending on your niche.
You simply pick a product and apply to review it. If you get it, not only do you get paid to review it but in most cases, you get to keep the product as well, so you can keep it or sell it on – just another way to make money online!
Sign up at https://www.tomoson.com
Dealspotr
Dealspotr are another online review platform but we have not had much success on this platform. Most of the campaigns on there seem to want Social Media influencers, so if you have good social media stats, it is definitely worth taking a look.
However, they also have a section for coupons and codes. So you can get coupons for yourself to save money, but you can also post your own to earn money.
Just head over to https://dealspotr.com to take a look for yourself.
Professional Services
Fiverr
Fiverr is probably very well known now as they advertise a lot – in the UK anyway! So Fiverr is a platform where individuals sell their own skills.
You can advertise yourself on Fiverr or look for Gigs to complete that offer are advertising.
These can range from web design to creating videos for events. Everything is covered so if you have a skill, go and check out Fiverr.
Conclusion
There are many ways to make money on the internet, I mean we haven’t even gone near selling products on the internet in this post. But if you want to make some extra pocket money rather than becoming a billionaire overnight, then these options that we have provided in this post should go some way to helping you out!
