5 ways to make money from your blog 💰

Since I posted my First Dollar earned from my blog many of you asked if you can do this too. Of course!

These are the methods I'm currently using or want to use in the future.
I'm also rating them from easy (1) to hard (5).

A thread 🧵👇
1/5 Accept Donations

There are many ways to accept donations.

You can use a service such as Buy Me a Coffe or Ko-fi.
If you're blogging on Hashnode you can sign up for Hashnode Sponsors hashnode.com/sponsors.

Difficulty: 1

Sign up for the service & embed it into your blog.
2/5 Sponsored Posts

After publishing akoskm.com/apollo-client-… I've got offers from companies to write blog posts for them.

Difficulty: 2

The companies contacting you want to see something similar to what you already wrote on your blog.
3/5 Offering Services

Use your blog to promote your services.
I was using this method for 5+ years. This is how I landed a bunch of contracts and some of my biggest clients.

Difficulty: 3

You need a skill you can promote. I did (and still doing) Web Appilcation development.
4/5 Affiliate Links

Affiliate marketing is when an online retailer pays you a commission for traffic or sales generated from your referrals.

It's easy to get started but requires SEO/website optimization knowledge, consistency, and time.

Difficulty: 4

Needs lots of traffic.
5/5 Offer a product

If you're already driving enough traffic to your site you can just promote your own product.
You can find a ton of people already doing this, the ones that come to my mind are @florinpop1705, @michalmalewicz, @Prathkum

Difficulty: 5

Needs a product.
These were my tips for making money with your blog.

During my career, I looked at dozens of job applications from Junior developers. Some portfolios were soo good, I still remember them.

Today I'm giving you 6 tips on How to Stand Out with Your Job Application as an Aspiring Developer and make it to the interview!

Thread 🧵👇
1. Unique Project

I don't remember all the unique projects, but I do remember copies.
If there's a Pokedex in every repo, make a searchable list of SpaceX launches.

Here's a repo of free APIs: github.com/public-apis/pu…, add a bit of imagination and you already have my attention.
2. Version control (Git)

9/10 candidates will have a single commit in their GitHub repositories:

"initial commit"

If you put in the extra work and further tweaked a default app just give meaningful messages to your commits like:

"updated port"

"changed button to green"
