A rising tide lifts all boats, so we decided to tap into the success of the bloggers, business owners and content creators who host with us and ask them: “What’s your favorite way to make money?”
As expected, there was a wide variety of different answers – there are some common themes, but also some that are a lot more niche. It just goes to show that there are so many ways to achieve your monetization goals…and it doesn’t have to be boring or feel inauthentic.
Hopefully these answers will inspire you to review how you make money with the aim to boost your income even more over the rest of the year. Enjoy!
We Asked Creators: What’s Your Favorite Way To Make Money? Share on X“AdSense is by far my main source of income. I like that it’s mostly hands-off, so I can avoid constantly pitching affiliate products and writing product reviews.”
Sarah May- freedomhomeschooling.com
“Most reliable way is piano tuition, but my favourite way is the commission I receive from tropic when I get a surprise order! (Someone uses my shop without telling me).”
Jen – tropicpianistgamer.co.uk
“My favorite way to earn money is to do author visits. I love interacting with young readers.”
Shannon – sillygeesepublishing.com
“My favourite source is sales from my two books about raising highly sensitive children, followed closely by affiliates from Big Life Journal.”
Amanda – happysensitivekids.com
“My favourite way to make money with my blogs is in-content advertising – I currently use Google Adsense and Journey by Medivine. While I love that it’s a ‘set and forget’ way to make money, I do think that there needs to be a balance to ensure that the ads don’t impact the overall user experience too much.”
Fiona – insequiral.com
“The part of my business I’m enjoying most right now is the shift towards creating my own products. While my blog still brings in income through ads and the occasional partnership, there’s something far more meaningful about building cookbooks and practical tools that people can actually use in their everyday lives.”
Michelle – wholeheartykitchen.co.uk
“As a blogger my main income is from display ads (Mediavine), followed by affiliate links (Booking dot com).”
Caroline – packthesuitcases.com/
“My main source is mediavine but I have a couple of digital products (more coming soon) that I’m really excited about.”
Adree – thekeeledeal.com
“While I love every aspect of earning money as a travel blogger, the thing I love most is how it gave me the knowledge to start a VA business on the side. I get to share the knowledge I’ve gathered in my 9 years of blogging and help other bloggers take things off their plate.”
Barbara – vayourblog.com
“Sitting in bed in my pajamas, drinking a latte and writing a blog post about a trip I recently took, knowing I’ll be able to monetize with both ads and affiliate links.”
Carly – fearlessfemaletravels.com
“Mine is by charging my website clients for their hosting, making a decent margin on what Lyrical Host’s boss plan costs me. What I charge is still way cheaper than other hosts, and other hosts don’t offer the same features that Lyrical do. But I love it because it is a low-effort, passive income for my business!”
Ali – summerleydigital.com
“My favorite way to make money through blogging is through my digital products. Knowing I’m helping someone be more confident in creating their DIY herbal recipes makes my heart happy!”
Kate – kateable.com
“While sharing things that make life easier for us on our travels, the Amazon Associates Programme is probably our favourite. It’s so easy, we can use it on our website and social media, can have our own shopfront and there’s so many options for useful recommendations.”
Kerrie – thewanderstation.com
“I like it when brands in my niche approach appreciating the work and explore sponsored collaboration options.”
