In this article, we’re going to dig into the possibilities and share some easy tips for helping you earn a steady $1,000 from your blog every month.
HOW DO BLOGGERS MAKE MONEY?
First things first.
Let’s do a quick refresher on how bloggers make their money.
Bloggers typically make money from creating/selling their own stuff or promoting/selling other people’s stuff (or both).
Yes, you will have to SELL stuff, because that’s how businesses make money. Don’t let the fear of selling hold you back! This can be done in a positive, productive, tactful way that actually benefits you and your readers.
Now, let’s put this concept into perspective so that you can actually get a clear picture of how you can make $1000 from your blog each month … and hopefully even more than that!
BREAKDOWN: HOW TO MAKE $1000 FROM YOUR BLOG EVERY MONTH
Let’s start with some simple math.
If you want to make $1,000 this month and there are 30 days in the month, this is the math problem you need to solve: 1,000/30 = 33.3
To make $1,000 in a month, you’d have to make about $33 a day or about $230 a week.
Doesn’t sound impossible, right?! Those numbers actually aren’t as scary as that big 1k a month we’re reaching for.
Baby steps, babe. Baby steps.
So, how the heck can you make 33 bucks a day or 230 bucks a week from your blog? Here are a few ways!
We know that bloggers make money from creating, promoting, and selling things that are beneficial to their readers.
There are a variety of ways to do this, but we’re going to focus on two of the most profitable ways to earn from your blog: selling your own online course and affiliate marketing.
MAKE $1000 FROM YOUR BLOG EVERY MONTH BY SELLING A COURSE
Creating and selling your own course has never been easier. You can set everything up for FREE using a course hosting platform like Teachable and start selling that course right away.
Teachable is awesome because they offer a ton of free training from industry professionals every year.
Here is the link to sign up for Teachable for FREE!
Now, let’s say that you manage to create and launch a course in a few months. How can you MAKE SURE that you earn at least $1,000 a month from that course? Here’s how:
If you sell a $10 course 100 times – you make $1,000
If you sell a $20 course 50 times – you make $1,000
And if you sell a $100 course 10 times… you get the idea.
With these figures in mind, you can see that earning a thousand bucks is possible for any blogger that can create something valuable for their audience.

You don’t even need A BIG audience. You just need an engaged audience that can benefit from what you are sharing.
Remember, if you can get a hundred people to hand over $10 for one of your products, you just earned $1,000.
And you’ll use your BLOG as a marketing tool to warm up your audience, share your expertise, and introduce them to your courses!
In my humble opinion, course creation is the best route because you get full creative control and you get to keep 100% of your profits, aside from any fees for course hosting.
And you can create a course about pretty much anything!
There are profitable courses on the Teachable platform about scrapbooking, brush lettering, creating virtual reality games, cake baking, marketing, using Pinterest, starting a blog, accounting, and more.
MAKE $1000 FROM YOUR BLOG WITH AFFILIATE MARKETING
If course sales are a little below your income goal one month, you can pick up the slack with another income stream, like affiliate marketing,
Affiliate marketing is simply promoting products or services for other companies and earning a commission from the sale.
If you want to make decent money with affiliate marketing, you need to work with companies that pay good commissions and sell products that your audience needs and loves.
Super simplified example:
A mom blogger might join the affiliate program for Earth Mama Organics through the Share-a-Sale network. The commission rate for this affiliate program is 20%.
The mom blogger writes an article about their products. It could be an article about the best place to buy baby clothes, the best baby shower gifts, why you should buy organic clothing for your baby, etc.
Now, let’s say that one of her readers falls in love with the clothes, clicks over to the Earth Mama Organics website, and spends $100. The mom blogger then earns $20 from that sale.
If 10 of her readers spend $100 on the products she recommends, she’ll earn $200.
You can see how quickly the money adds up when you’re sharing products and services that are valuable to your readers. Sell a few high-quality courses and a few high-quality affiliate products each month, and there’s your thousand bucks!
EVEN BETTER THAN MAKING $1,000 FROM YOUR BLOG
Now what could be even better than making $1,000 from your blog every month?
How about making $2,000? Or $3,000? or more?
The sky is the limit when it comes to your income potential. It isn’t a pipe dream anymore.
There are countless bloggers out there making thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars from their blog every month.
This article and these examples are just a starting point. The foundation for helping you start earning steady money from your blog.
You could also add a few other revenue streams to the mix to earn even more. You can run ads on your blog, do sponsored work, offer your own services… There are so many options!
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

Now we know that making $1,000 from your blog is not impossible. To earn that money, you’ll either create and sell your own stuff, or promote and sell other people’s stuff.
