Blog Monetization Myth #1: It’s too early to monetize my blog.
Free and Fearless - A podcast by Lidiya Kesarovska
As you might know, I run a blogging membership and community called Fearless Bloggers. It’s where I share with you my best strategies so you can grow your blog traffic and income sooner. It’s where I publish a detailed monthly income report from my blogging business every month, where I update you on what’s going on in the blogging industry, where you can ask any question at any time and where you can get support for anything blogging related so you can overcome those limiting beliefs and get to action sooner. A good reason to join now is to be there on time for what’s happening next month. That’s the start of the two week Blog Monetization Challenge, the first ever challenge of this kind that I’m doing for members. Over the course of two weeks, I’ll be posting a new blog monetization strategy that you can implement right away if you feel like and I’m going to do that every day aside from weekends. So that’s 10 strategies total. Regardless of what stage of your blogging journey you’re in, even if one of these is new to you and you decide to give it a try, it can be a game changer, either right away, after a few weeks or months, or you can even turn it into new recurring revenue for years to come. We begin on September 9th and I’d love for you to join us. After those two weeks, I will also create an ebook for you with all the strategies in one place so you can refer to them easily. It’s a no brainer offer because you can just join us for a month, be part of the challenge and monetize your blog more strategically and in new ways, as well as get the bonus material, browse the existing resources inside, engage with the community and decide whether you want to stay there or not. It doesn’t get easier than that. Here’s the link again. These weeks, I want to go through some myths you might believe around monetizing your blog. These are basically limiting beliefs that are stopping you from taking action and they’re keeping you stuck in a loop of never making money from your blog or not growing your income if you’re already earning a bit. Let’s do something about them so you can stop waiting for the right time, the right strategy, for having more traffic or for any other conditions to be perfect before you give yourself permission to increase your revenue. The myth that I want to debunk today is that you think you can’t monetize from day one, that you might be saying it’s too early to even think about making money as a blogger, that you think you need more traffic first or anything else. But these are excuses you make that allow you to keep playing small, to procrastinate and to stay in your comfort zone. I’m definitely guilty of that. I waited two or even three years before even assuming I can be a full-time blogger one day. First, I was freelancing, not even having a self-hosted blog. I had to read countless income reports from others to believe it’s possible for me too, which by the way, is one of the main reasons why I share my earnings.
