Blogs provide passive income. Your site can generate income through affiliate marketing, adverts, and sponsored reviews. This involves no further effort from you; it's a strategy to maximize your existing content and traffic.

Blogs can have sponsored postings. Add a page or contact form to your website so brands may pay you for reviews, guides, and more. In your sponsored post-agreement, make sure all thoughts are honest and add a notice that it was sponsored.

Your website can also promote courses, products, and premium services (which we describe below).

3. WordPress courses

Self-confident? Course-build! Millions of individuals learn online. Create and sell courses to aid them. Share gardening, cooking, or blog-starting suggestions. Once you've chosen a topic, you have several options for creating and monetizing your WordPress Course Online

4. Dropshipping & eCommerce

You can also give readers downloadable or tangible things. WordPress is a great e-commerce platform, but it's difficult to set up.

E-commerce? Online buying is growing. To construct an online store with WordPress, install WooCommerce. WooCommerce is free and includes various store-setting features compared to other e-commerce platforms.

WordPress can be used to develop both conventional and dropshipping stores. You sell things to clients, but a third party ships them (similar to how Amazon often handles shipping for smaller sellers using their platform). This method requires a plugin or option in WooCommerce or Shopify to send shipping info directly to the provider. If this sounds like the ideal business concept for you, WordPress has plugins for dropshipping.

5. Blog Set-Up Services

Do you want to generate money using WordPress but have no coding experience? If so, you need a blog setup service. Even beginners can do this. However?

Many bloggers desire to use WordPress, but they lack the technical know-how. They choose a blog setup service. As a blog setup service, you'll install WordPress, upload a theme, add plugins, etc.

Start a blog setup page on your website to gain clients. Add banners for your service on your own site, guest post on other blogs, leave comments on forums with a link to your site, and invest in the paid promotion if you can. If you're targeting a smaller or local audience (such as "blog setup service for gardeners" or "blog setup service in Savannah Georgia"), it's frequently more economical. Interested parties will contact you.

Consider adding several price points and service levels to your service page. For $100, you can have WordPress installed, a theme uploaded, and demo content added. Then offer SEO plugin set up as a $20 upsell or as part of a premium setup service (like breadcrumbs, homepage setup, etc).

You can offer free blog setup services by using affiliate links on your services page. When a buyer uses your referral link to buy Bluehost hosting, you might provide a free blog setup. Bluehost offers affordable hosting plans for new bloggers and pays up to $65 for each sign-up. When customers join up through your service page, you can recommend themes, plugins, security services, and other affiliate items. Only recommend tested, good stuff.

6. Website Maintenance

We discussed blog setup, but maintenance services can offer continuing money. Many website owners don't want to manage their sites; they just want to be seen online. You're needed. WordPress updates, security monitoring, theme/plugin upgrades, hosting management, CDN setup, etc. You can get paid monthly to accomplish everything you already do for your own website.

7. SEO/Marketing

You may put your site-optimization abilities to use. SEO is a big component of designing a website and can be intimidating. SEO services are usually expensive. SEO is something many website owners are willing to pay for, whether it's content optimization, link building, site speed, etc.

SEO and marketing work together. Ad management requires visuals, keyword research, bidding strategy, placement, and more. Good marketing campaigns use Google advertisements, newsletters, social media, etc. You can support clients with your website knowledge and connections. Marketing services usually comprise a flat charge plus a percentage of traffic or conversions.

8. Security Solutions Consulting

Security consultancy can be lucrative for people with coding capabilities. Site owners prioritize security. Consider these:

Security audits can be done manually or with expensive software. Whichever path you select, make sure to cover WordPress default settings, passwords, user role access, file permissions, updates, security plugin settings, backup settings (through plugin or hosting), server configuration, SSL certificate, etc.

General Security Hardening: Offer a professional installation service for a trusted security plugin like iThemes Security Pro, Wordfence, or All in One WP Security & Firewall.

Help website owners create and install SSL certificates. SSL is complex.

Malware cleanup is easy if you know WordPress files well. You could add this to your security services if you remove questionable code manually or with a plugin.

There are more WordPress security concerns, but these are good places to start.

9. WordPress Plugins

You can't run a WordPress blog without plugins, right? Everyone uses WordPress plugins to add extra functionality. Some WordPress plugins are free, others have paid upgrades, and others are premium.

If you solve an issue and create a plugin that your audience might buy, you can make money from it. Analyze a few profitable plugins (in a similar niche). Check if they're using a paid or free plugin (free plugin with paid upgrade). WordPress.org, a marketplace, or their own website? Check the comments/reviews to see what support is like. Then work out how to produce a steady cash flow.

If you want to sell WordPress plugins, focus on a certain requirement. Elementor is a good page builder. Over 4 million WordPress sites use this plugin to create custom page layouts. Plus, the plugin developer released Elementor Pro with advanced functionality.

10. WordPress Themes

Web developer? Yes? Then build WordPress Themes. You don't need to be a designer or coder to design a fantastic WordPress theme, but you need to know your audience. If you don't know who you're designing for, you'll have no audience.
