It was a post about some purchases I had picked up from Goodwill and transformed using white paint I had on hand. This post received 6574 page views. To go from 300 page views to over 6000 for one post was quite the shock.
With that my following started to grow. And, I started to make some money. Now, I don’t make a huge chunk of change yet from my blog. But, I do make enough money to buy furniture, decor, giveaways for the blog, and to contribute to our vacations. Here are the numerous ways I make money.
Google
I run Google Ads as you can see. It’s super easy to set up and they pay straight to your bank account. Once your ad account with Google hits $100.00 from ad revenue, they issue the funds to your bank account. $100.00 can quickly add up, especially if you don’t touch it.

AdSense for Publishers
Link Vehicle
Link Vehicle has been phenomenal to work with. I do a minimum of one post for them per month. There have been months where I’ve received up to 8 post requests from them. When you sign up, you choose which category you want to write for and what your price is per post. For instance, my category is home and garden. So, Link Vehicle sends me posts that pertain to home and garden. Link Vehicle pays monthly and sends it straight to my PayPal account. Click the link below to head to Link Vehicle to get set up.

This is generous of you, Kathryn, to share all of this information. I hadn't heard of most of these sources before, so I appreciate this. I keep putting off the process of trying to monetize because I don't feel my blog is at that level yet. One of these days I'll take the plunge 🙂
Glad you liked the information, Julie! When you do decide to monetize, feel free to contact me if you need any help or have questions. Hope your week ahead is lovely. Toodles, Kathryn
I had no idea there were so many monetizing opportunities out there. Thanks for sharing.
I've never heard of Link Vehicle but I think I am going to check them out! Thanks for this awesome resource 🙂
I'm not heard of many of these. I like the sound of Link Vehicle the msot. I'll be checking them out today!
This is a very informative post. While I write for a hobby, I appreciate having this info available!
Thank you for sharing. "Sharing is Caring".
Thanks for sharing , I'm thinking about trying to get an income from my blog to at least cover my costs this information is really useful.
This is so interesting! Who knew there are so many ways to make money. I have not taken the time to do the research and blog mainly for the fun of it! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
I really appreciated the information you shared here even though I'm too sporadic a blogger to benefit from it. Your blog truly is a wonderful place to come and learn or see beautiful things.
Kathryn, I found your blog today thru Sandra and Hennie Cronjie. I thoroughly enjoyed my browsing. Then I found this particular post.
I have been praying for an income to help with my retirement. I love the farm and sewing but it has become a drudge while "I" have tried to make it a provision for income . I think that possibly God has directed me here. Soooooooo… Would you possibly visit my blog and see If my style of blogging could be used in this way. I realize I would have to be much more disciplined in regularity in my posting. No problem with that. I will be praying for God's guidance before I step out on this. I would appreciate any advice you can give me to improve my blog in preparation for this. I don't know how many people you have help with this post but it has been a big one for me. It has put hope and joy in my heart. Thank you so much for being willing to help others. May God continue to Bless you.
Thank you for this, Kathryn. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this post. I had never heard of several of these. I intend to try a few on my blog.
