Make Money With Your Study Abroad Blog!

 

Studying Abroad?

Are you studying abroad or plan to in the future? Are you passionate about your study abroad experience? Want to know how you can both help other study abroad students and make money by sharing your experience on a blog?

Two questions I’m often asked involve the issue of money: “How can I afford to study abroad?” and “Should I get a job while studying abroad?”. Forget about a job, or at least the kind you’re thinking of. There’s a way you can make money in just a few hours a week from something you had already planned on doing, something you actually enjoy – study abroad blogging.

Get Started Blogging

. Creating Your WordPress Blog Believe it or not, you only need three things to get started: A domain name, web hosting, and WordPress – the most popular blogging software in the world. You’re just a few simple steps away from having your own study abroad blog.

Designing Your Blog To Make Money Every great blog needs a great design. Fortunately, you can get professional results with zero design knowledge, and moreover, without having to spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars on your site!

Creating Awesome Content 101 A great design can only get you so far. As every blogger knows, Content is King. You have stories and experiences people want to read about, now it’s time to get them down on paper (so to speak) in a way that will help you make money!

Twitter and Facebook: The Social Media 1 – 2 Punch

The Art Of The Tweet Twitter – one half of the dynamic social media duo. Tweets may be short, but those 140 characters can get the word out and drive traffic back to your blog in a big way. Of course, you’ll first need to learn the best way to use 140 characters, and the best practices for getting followers!

Your Own Facebook Fan Page Facebook – my other favorite social networking powerhouse. The number of Facebook users is quickly approaching 1 billion. Utilize your Facebook page the right way, and there’s no question you’ll be able to form a fan base of loyal readers in no time.

Making Money

How To Make Money From Your Blog The part you’ve been waiting for – I’ll tell you all the different ways you can make money from your blog. The best part? You don’t need your own product (yet), you don’t need to provide customer service, and you don’t have to keep track of any paperwork.

The Amazon Associates Program My favorite. While Amazon Associates is a great starting place for beginners, some pro-bloggers make their entire income from this one program. You’ve spent a good amount of cash on Amazon over the years, now it’s time for Amazon to start paying you.

Creating Cash Flow With ClickBank When it comes to making money online, ClickBank is the Commission King. Technically, all you have to do is head to ClickBank, pick a product to promote, then add ClickBank’s HopLink somewhere on your blog. If you want to be successful, however, there’s much more to it.

AWeber What’s “AWeber”? It happens to be the most effective way of driving traffic to and making money from your blog. Some people even go so far as to say it’s the closest thing you’ll ever see to money growing on trees (and rightly so).

Above And Beyond

Because You Planned On Blogging Anyway I always recommend that students blog while studying abroad. It’s the best way to keep everyone updated back home and share helpful insight with other study abroad students, and most importantly, it’s a place where you can reflect and reminisce about your experience for years to come. If you’re going to be blogging anyway, wouldn’t it be awesome to make some money while you’re at it?
