This is the ultimate guide on how to make money with WordPress.<\/strong> Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been making a living with WordPress for over a decade, this guide is for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We all want to make more money<\/strong><\/em> and, thanks to the internet, there are now more ways to make money online<\/a> than ever<\/em> before. In this guide, we’ll cover how to make money with WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WordPress powers over 1\/3 of websites on the internet!<\/em> So, if you know how to use WordPress (or are interested in learning) you’re already halfway there. <\/em>Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s an overview of what we’ll cover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The great thing is that there are thousands of ways to make money with WordPress.<\/strong><\/em> The hardest thing for you will be deciding which one(s). But this is also an advantage because it makes it easy to add supplemental income streams or pivot to a new one if you need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, how do you get started? First you need to decide how<\/em> you’re going to use WordPress to make money. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The easiest way to get started is by leveraging a skill you already have<\/em>. If you don’t have a skill then you need to build one. You want to grow and leverage a skill because that’s where the real money is.<\/strong> <\/em> The better (or rarer) the skill or asset, the more valuable it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have a skill you have the option to create an asset that other people value. With the asset, you could sell access to it or monetize traffic that it creates. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are all options, but they require you to have a skill or to create an asset. It takes time to build skills and create assets, but it’s worth it<\/em> because it sets you apart and gives you something valuable to generate income for years to come.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you believe you already have a marketable skill and want to find work (either full-time or part-time), then check out our WordPress and Remote job listings page<\/a> with a curated list of hundreds of job sites.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ok…well, there are ways to make money faster. For example, you could find quick tasks on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, but that doesn’t pay much. Why? Because people are a commodity and it’s largely unskilled, undifferentiated labor. To make more you need to set yourself apart with an asset or a skill.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s a better example of how this works: think about Uber drivers. By having a car and driving record that meets the minimum standard, Uber drivers get instant access<\/em> to work that pays more on average than Mechanical Turk (described above). This goes further for Uber drivers with luxury cars, accessibility, are bilingual and more. Skills and assets = more money.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Building skills and assets takes time, but you can often accelerate this with money. For example, you could hire someone to help you, buy an existing business, buy a course or buy better tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When just starting out it’s usually better to spend as little money as possible while you’re experimenting since you don’t let know what you’ll want to do–you need the freedom to experiment<\/em> and minimizing your investment helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we dive in, if you’re here looking for full-time work (e.g. not just a side job or hobby) remember to think long-term<\/em>.<\/strong> Think about what you want for career, not just a job. Jobs are temporary and those with jobs are easy to replace. You want a career where you’re learning, growing, your work is valued and you’re compensated accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are 4 keys to finding well-paying work that maximizes your chance of success and building wealth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another way to frame this is to “find the hard work that you’re willing to do.<\/a><\/em>” Here’s an excerpt from the article: <\/p>\n\n\n\n I realize that “Find your passion” makes for a more compelling motivational poster than “What hard problems do you enjoy working on?” (and even that’s a lot better than “What kind of pain are you willing to endure?”), but it might give some people a more realistic way to approach finding their life’s work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n If you’re interested in learning more about the basics of earning money (especially earning money online), then I highly recommend<\/em><\/strong> reading our article on how to make money online working from home<\/a>. \u00a0The goal of the article is to equip you with the right mindset to be more successful.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With that context, let’s dive in to all of the ways you can earn more money with WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hopefully, all of that context above helps you think about how to approach this. When going through the list of ways, keep these key criteria in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, onto the comprehensive list of ways to make money (or make more money) with WordPress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Blogging is one of the most popular<\/strong><\/em> money making strategies in WordPress and it’s easy to get started: all it takes is a knack for writing and WordPress Hosting. But building a successful blog takes consistent, hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most popular ways to make money blogging is with affiliate marketing.
