3 steps to make money from your free stuff blog

The concept of starting a blog and making money seems like an easy one but it is actually much harder than most people think. Don’t get me wrong, it is simple to start a blog of your own and add contents, but then what? With millions of blogs out there and many of them already much larger in competition with you, why would anyone want to visit your blog over another one that is already established?

Make money from blogging
Since blogging is one of the slowest methods for making money online, you must have ability to provide contents that people need. You should have an excellent montization plan too.

To make this process easier for everyone who is planning to start a blog of his own. Let’s run through the process of how you can create a free stuff based blog like "coupons", that will almost start making money as soon as you have traffic flowing through your site.

1. Create a Blog

Obviously you are going to need a blog of your own to start. If you already have a blog I would recommend you to start a new one and getting a nice domain that includes "free stuff" or related terms in the domain. This way people will know what to expect when visiting your site. Also be sure to find a nice theme design and if you have the funds, a nice logo design would help with branding the site as well.

2. Find the Free Stuff Offers

Now that your blog is up on web you need to find some great free stuff to offer in your site. You can visit other free stuff web sites and see what they are currently promoting or visiting some of your favorite brands and see what freebies, coupons and promotions they are giving away through their sites. Keep loading your site with quality freebies and people will keep coming back.

There are already thousands of groups and fan pages with millions of users in social media who are looking for coupons and free stuff offers. Be sure to create your own pages for your site and build up your following. Every time you post a new offer to your site, you can have it updated to all of your social network followers as well.

3. Integrate Affiliate Offers Within Your Content

In addition to all of the free stuff offers that you are collecting from other sites, it’s always good to add in some compensated offers in the process. Many affiliate networks will have free stuff offers, contests and promotions that you can send traffic to an earn a commission every time someone completes the offer. Shareasale.com also has a massive list of companies and brands on their network, many of which that provide coupons and free stuff offers that you can blend them with your content.

Google Adsense is another good alternative for free stuff based sites, as it looks like real content and usually pulls in a higher click through rate than others.
