Hello guys, what’s up. In this quick guide, am going to show you easy ways to make money from blogging in Nigeria. I have personally made some money out of most of these ways am about to show you now, the best in my opinion being AdSense which is 100% trusted.
What is a blog?
Before we dive into details, what exactly is Blog? According to Wikipedia, A blog (a truncation of the expression "weblog") is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries ("posts"). Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.
What then is blogging?
From what Wikipedia already told us about a blog, we can say that blogging is an act of publishing helpful articles on a web blog. An example is this article you are reading right now. It was written and published by me (A Blogger).
Now the question is, can you really make money from blogging? If yes, how?
Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to break it down for your understanding.
Here are things you will need
Before starting a blog, you will need a platform to run it and this entirely depends on you. There are tons of platform where you can run your blog but the easiest amongst them are Blogger and WordPress. To begin small, you can use Blogger to run your blog, in this case, you’ll only need a domain name without hosting.

On the other hand, if you have enough capital to start, you can just dive straight into WordPress, this platform is very easy. It has a lot of functionalities, you don’t need to stress much, you just allow the platform run most of your stuff for you but in this case, you’ll need a hosting and domain.
If you don’t understand what I mean by hosting and domain, please read this post here about Hosting and Domain.
If you decide to use blogger, simply head over to smartweb.com.ng or hostnownow to get a domain. You have dot com domains there and also dot com.ng. and many other extensions depending on what you want to do.
You’ll need to have a blog before you can make money from it.
1. Choose a profitable niche
2. Buy from Smart web or 1and1.
If you want a very cheap host in Nigeria, Smartweb is a very good choice, it is cheap, has a good bandwidth and their security is also good. There are still a lot of good hosting available in Nigeria, but I’ve tried a lot, and I recommend smart web.
If you decide to host using a foreign host, Namecheap, 1and1 and Blue host is a very nice choice, they are very fast and gives all the features needed to you to run a successful blog.
If you’ve done this, then we’re ready to get started.
Here’s a list of trusted Web hosts 2018
A Few legit way to monetize your blog
1. Advertising:
The most popular and easiest ways is through displaying advertisement on your blog, in this case, through a particular platform, advertisers place ads on your blog/website and you make money from impressions and clicks.
These includes ad networks like Google AdSense.
Google AdSense is by far the most trusted Advertising network today, they are trustworthy and they definitely pay when you reach your threshold. But Google AdSense can take a lot of time especially if you’re not doing the right time.
To get approval fast from Google AdSense, you would have to make sure to do a lot of things right. I’ll post a blog post soon on how to easily get approved by Google AdSense. And you can easily make money from AdSense by inserting the ad codes on your blog to generate earnings. The amount of money you’ll make from AdSense depends on the amount of web traffic you get.
Note: Never click on your ads, doing this can make Google take off Ads from your website completely.
Other options include, NGAdverts, Adquet, and many other ones. But in my opinion, NG Adverts really does a great work and I would say it’s a good AdSense alternative for Nigerians.
Register with this link to start making money using NGAdverts.
Note: Just like AdSense, they will disable your ads if you click on them yourself.

You can also make money from blogging by inserting affiliate links on strategic positions on your articles. You’ll make sales commission once your readers make purchase from your links. It’s really a fun way of make money online.
3. Make Money from blogging by Selling services:
You can make money from blogging by selling premium services to your readers. I personally make a lot of money by building blogs for people. As am a very good web developer, I’ve developed a lot of systems that has paid me very well.
All our Blog and Website include SEO for you to been seen on search engines.
You can hire me if you want. Or simply contact me directly by calling me via my number.
4. Sell advert space:
You can also sell advert space on your blog to make money. But before you do this, you should have a lot of traffic on your blog so that advertisers would come themselves seeking for spaces to advertise their blog.
Sites like LindaIkejiblog and Waploaded uses this to make a lot of money.
5. Sell Courses:
If you’re very good at what you do, you can create and sell courses online in your blog. You can create a section on your blog where you can create full video courses and sell it online for people to buy. Quality of content must be very great so that users can come back and buy and also tell others about your courses.
6. Turn your blog into an app and monetize it:
It’s getting very easy to turn your blog into an iPhone or Android apps these days. There are tons of website that can do that for you. You can then integrate your AdSense codes and make a lot of money by targeting mobile users.
7. Consultation:
At some point in time, your work would speak for you. You will now have people calling you for consultation on how you became successful on your blog, and through a lot of failure, you would have mastered the art and start earning by attending to people’s failure and helping people to create a successful blog.
8. Donation:
You can also earn a lot of money from friends and well-wishers if you’ve been giving out content that helped a lot of people.
9. Sell blog:
Blog can grow to become a very valuable online real estate. You can decide to sell off your blog if you don’t wish to continue with it anymore. Believe me, the amount of a full grown blog is far more reasonable than a Fiverr account.
10. Promote offline business:
If you have offline businesses such as boutique, shops, etc., you can use your blog to promote it. Promoting your products and services on your blog will lead to more awareness about your business. Of course you know that that more customer equals more money.
That’s it people. But most importantly, don't blog with the intent to make money, blog because you love it and what you love would pay you.
