Writers block is a real thing when it comes to writing a new blog post. Here you’ll find a lot of blog post ideas for lifestyle bloggers so that your imagination can do it’s thing and help you to write your next best blog post.
In addition, I’ll chat a bit about what is a lifestyle blog and how you can make money with it.
Of course, making money with the blog is not the main goal, but it gives you motivation to write better posts to your audience so that they would return to read more. And that’s a win-win – you serve better your readers and get to use the money to upgrade your lifestyle and maybe try some things on the blog that you otherwise couldn’t afford.
What is a lifestyle blog?
There is no clear definition of what a lifestyle blog is. However, there is a general notion that a lifestyle blogger writes in multiple niches about the things that interest them or are happening in their lives.
Some of the best lifestyle bloggers thrive on documenting and curating their lives in a relatable way so that they can build a closer personal relationship with readers.
So posts on a lifestyle blog are more about you and your personality than any specific niche. You can curate wardrobe essentials, write about your travel experiences and recommendations, talk about books you’ve read, or parenting advice. Even if these are separate niches there will be an overlying theme of how it all fits together – and it will be held together with your personality and authenticity.
How do I start a lifestyle blog?
If you are new to the blogging world and want to share your lifestyle guides and experiences with others, then starting a blog is a good idea. There are many other advantages to blogging, e.g. you can have a blog as a creative outlet while watching after your children. Or you can turn your blogging business into a nice side income.
Here are basic steps for starting a blog:
- Preferably choose a niche (check out other money-making niches here) so that you could be more focused and not write about everything under the sun
- Choose a domain name
- Sign up for hosting and set up a WordPress blog with a simple wizard
- Start writing your first posts
How do lifestyle bloggers make money?
One of the best ways how to determine how bloggers in any niche make money is looking for their newest income reports.
Here are some of the most popular ways how lifestyle bloggers can earn money.
Display advertising
The obvious way is to show ads on your blog. It may lead to a worse experience for the readers, but this still is one of the leading ways how bloggers earn money.
But showing ads will be a good source of income if you have a lot of traffic. If you are just beginning, showing ads will get you a few dollars a month, and in the same time will scare away the potential readers. So choose carefully the best time when to turn on the ads.
Affiliate marketing
Chances are, you’ll be blogging about some products that you use. These can be anything – what you use in your make-up routine, which is your favorite camera for travel, or what kind of cushions have you chosen for your sofa. When you talk about products, you can add a link to them so that your readers can but the products as well. Make the link traceable to you and this is affiliate marketing.
It’s a win-win. Your readers can buy the thing that they see on your blog and want to use as well. There is no extra cost for them. You get a small commission for recommending the thing. And the creator of the product gets to sell more of their product.
You can consciously craft your blog posts to be suitable for affiliate marketing. Here are some blog post types that do well with selling products.
And here you can check out some of the most popular affiliate platforms where you can sign up to be an affiliate and promote products to your readers.
And don’t forget to disclaim to your readers that the products in your blog posts have affiliate links!
Sponsored posts
If you have a bit more established blog you can collaborate with brands. Sponsored posts are what they sound like – a brand pays you to include their product in your blog post.
This collaboration can come in different ways. Some brands offer you a free product in exchange for you writing about it. Other brands pay you for creating the blog post as well.
Own products
You can create your own products to mention on your blog and sell to your readers.
These can be either digital or physical.
You can create eBooks or printables for just about anything – planners, checklists, recipes, itineraries, budgeting, and so on.
And you can also create designs for T-shirts, bracelets, mugs, and other merchandise.
