How To Make Money With Sponsored Posts

November 26, 2018 BY Michelle Schroeder-Gardner - 14 Comments

Making Sense of Sponsored Posts is finally here!

You can check out everything about the course here.

Are you a blogger but unsure of how to make money online? Or, maybe you've been blogging for awhile but haven't had much luck with sponsored partnerships.

For some reason, sponsored blog posts and sponsored social media ads seem to scare the average blogger, whether they are brand new or have been blogging for years.

What do I charge? How do I find companies who will want to work with me? What are the rules?

There are SO MANY QUESTIONS when it comes to sponsored posts.

It makes sense – sponsored partnerships are something that probably 99.9% of bloggers want to pursue, but the problem is that they have no idea where to start.

Making Sense of Sponsored Posts is a step-by-step guide to creating and making money from your own successful sponsored posts strategy. This course explains all the ins and outs of sponsored posts and working with brands.

This course makes sponsored posts profitable. You can see your blogging income grow from the beginning, and the information in this course will help you well into the future.

If you're not earning money through sponsored posts, then you are leaving money on the table.

Bloggers and online influencers can all successfully promote products to their audience and earn an income from sponsored partnerships, while being genuine and trustworthy.

I started Making Sense of Cents in August of 2011, at the age of 22, without any hopes of ever earning an income from it. It started as a hobby – just a way to journal my life and talk about my personal finance situation.

Then, around six months after I started my blog, a blogger friend of mine connected me with an advertiser and I earned $100 from that advertisement.

It wasn't a lot of money, especially considering the amount of time and work I had already put towards my blog. However, it was very motivating to see that something I absolutely loved to do could actually make money. I honestly had no idea that blogs could even make money when I started mine!

After that first $100, my blogging income quickly grew.

I now charge, on average, around $5,000 per sponsored post.

I am now earning around $10,000 to $20,000 a month from sponsored partnerships alone.

And, they don’t take me a ton of time to write, publish, promote, and maintain. In fact, I spend 10 hours or less a month on my sponsored partnerships.

I've worked with tons of high-quality brands that I love, have received all-inclusive vacations for free, and have brands lined up out the door wanting to work with me.

Whether you are a brand new blogger or if you've been blogging for years, this course will help you with your sponsored partnership strategy.

I’ve talked to many bloggers about sponsored posts and the majority said they earn little to nothing from sponsored posts. I have also found that many bloggers were earning way too little for the value they provide to brands.

Throughout the modules in this course, we will go through everything you need to know about sponsored posts, from developing relationships with brands, legalities of sponsored posts, different strategies, and more. This is a course that will teach you anything and everything there is to know about sponsored posts.

You can check out everything about the course here.

Thank you!

How I Made $145,319 in October 2018 While Traveling

How I Made $145,319 in October 2018 While Traveling #makemoneyblogging #howtomakextramoneyWelcome to October 2018's business income report where I show you how I made money online last month. It's time to look at this month's update and see how I did.

If you're new to Making Sense of Cents, you may be wondering why I would want to publish my income report each month. You can simply skip to the next section if you're not new here.

This all started out as my extra income report because, in the beginning, it was all about the money I was earning from my side jobs. In my side income reports from the beginning, I included all of the income I made except for what I made at my day job.

However, I left my day job as a financial analyst in October of 2013 and now my monthly income reports consist of the many ways I earn a living.

Many have asked why I would ever want to publicly post my income each month. Some think I'm crazy, whereas some are glad I'm open about what I'm doing. Whatever you think, I enjoy publishing my monthly online income reports and I share them publicly for three main reasons: [Read more…]

Your Top 14 Tax Questions For Bloggers and Digital Nomads Answered

October 24, 2018 BY Michelle Schroeder-Gardner - 27 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more info.

Your Top 14 Tax Questions For Bloggers and Digital Nomads AnsweredBloggers are often sending me questions about taxes, and it is a very important topic to discuss as online business owners. However, I am not a tax expert, so I found one to help! I decided to ask my readers for their top questions about blogging and taxes, and then I handed those questions over to Josh from CPA On Fire (who graciously said yes to answering all of your common questions!).

Josh is the founder of CPA On Fire, a tax and accounting business that caters to online based businesses. CPA On Fire provides tax and accounting services for some of the biggest names in the online business space, including John Lee Dumas, Entrepreneur On Fire, and myself! Josh has appeared on several top business podcasts and national TV segments to offer tax advice to entrepreneurs.

When you're self-employed, taxes do get a little more difficult, but it's not impossible. I know people who are afraid to earn more at their day job, who are afraid to start their own business, and more, all because they are afraid of taxes. [Read more…]

How Alyssa is making $200 a DAY in book sales passively

September 24, 2018 BY Michelle Schroeder-Gardner - 32 Comments

Today, I'd like to introduce you to Alyssa Padgett. You probably remember her from How This Couple Bought an $11,500 RV, Traveled To All 50 States, and Built A Thriving Business.

Alyssa self-published her first book and has sold more than 13,000 copies.

She is now earning a great passive income of over $200 a day from her book ($6,500 last month alone!).

She and her husband are currently full-time RVers, making a living, and documenting it all.

They blog over at HeathandAlyssa.com, and I'm a huge fan! Not only have I been on their podcast (How Michelle Makes Six Figures from a Blog While Full-Time RVing), we’re also friends.

In 2014, they quit their jobs, purchased a motorhome, and went on a year-long road trip across America. They worked jobs in all 50 states for a documentary they filmed called Hourly America. [Read more…]
