Why Build a Blog with WordPress
Having a blog and writing about important topics that are relevant to your audience establishes yourself as an authority in the space. It enhances your professional image.
No longer limited to niche hobbies, almost everyone has a blog now in some form or another.
By creating a blog that is of value, you can attract an audience and eventually convert them to customers.
WordPress is a open-source content management system, or CMS. A CMS is a software application that allows you to easily edit the content of your website without much technical knowledge.

Top Ways for how to Monetize a WordPress Blog
As mentioned before, in this post, I will be sharing with you my knowledge on how to monetize your blog. So below are my top 5 ways.
Paid Guest Posts
What do we mean by this? Well, you have your blog up and running and you have around 5k to 10k visitors per month, why not use that for your own good?
If you go and skim our blog, you can find this article written by a foreign person (not from the h-educate team).
When you build a great audience for your blog, people will start reaching out to you so they can post their content on your blog. They can use this to sell their products, take backlinks to their other websites, or simply for the love of sharing their ideas and people reading them.
Now you may tell me, I don't have this number of visitors. Well, go get them! It is very easy, watch the below video about 7 strategies to get free traffic to your website.
Monetizing with Ads
The most common way bloggers use to monetize their websites is by using ads.

These ads are being added by Google AdSense. Let's take a quick tour to h-educate AdSense account and show you the numbers.
Now you might tell me, 234$ per month, this is not much. Well, I can tell you that you can sell Ad spaces on your website too! Check the below ad for instance.
