As bloggers we have several options that we can use to monetize our blogs. We can use ad networks to publish ads, and we can also make money without posting ads on our blogs. However, making money without an advertising program is quite difficult and requires a lot of work.

When you use an ad network, making money with your WordPress blogs becomes easier. In this post, I will share with you a list of advertising networks that you can use to monetize your self-powered WordPress blog.

Some of these ad networks have certain limitations in terms of traffic / month and minimum payments, and I will add all those details in their descriptions. Keep in mind that there are hundreds of ad networks and I am only adding those that I have personally used and with which I have had a good experience.

Ad networks to earn money from self hosted WordPress websites:

Google AdSense:


Google AdSense is the first ad network that I would recommend to any blogger, since it offers quality ads and pays well.

AdSense is a contextual ad network, and all you need to do is create an AdSense account, get AdSense ad codes for your blog and add them to your blog.

The minimum payment is $ 100, and getting an AdSense approval is a bit more difficult than with other ad networks. AdSense prefers blogs with quality, and have quality guidelines and content to follow. They do not accept websites in Warez, Adult or hacking niches.

What I like most about AdSense is that it gives you peace of mind with a recurring income.
  • Minimum payment: $ 100
  • Payment mode: multiple options
  • Register in AdSense

   BuySellAds:

I have used BuySellAds for more than three years, and they offer one of the best ways to get direct ads for your blog. BuySellAds is a market that connects bloggers with advertisers. Using BuySellAds is quite simple: register for an account, add ad inventory in BuySellAds, take a code and place it on your blog. An advertiser can click on the blank placeholder and buy the ad. BuySellAds will take care of the payment and publication of the ads, and receive 25% of the commission in exchange.

Since the quality of the ads through BuySellAds is quite good and you do not have to work hard to get direct ads, this is a network that is worth trying. You should keep in mind that getting an approved BuySellAds account is not so easy, as they focus a lot on the quality and design of your blog.

In general, BuySellAds is an advertising network for the quality WordPress blogger. They also offer a sponsored tweet feature, which will allow you to earn additional money from your Twitter network. They also have a WordPress plugin that you can use to quickly integrate BuySellAds in your blog.
  • Minimum payment: $ 20 for PayPal, $ 500 for bank transfer.
  • Payment method: PayPal, bank transfer, bank check
  • Register with BuySellAds

OIO Publisher WordPress plugin:

This is a premium WordPress add-on, which facilitates the sale of direct ads on your blog. All you need to do is connect all your advertising spaces with this add-on, and you can set prices and other details to publish the ads. An advertiser can click on a blank ad placeholder, buy the ad through payment, and the ad will be published automatically for the defined time. This is a self-managed advertising option for your blog. It is one of the easiest ways to add automation to direct ads on your blog. If you make payments manually, you should consider consulting the AdRotate add-on, which is a free option.
  • Minimum payment: no limit
  • Payment method: PayPal

Viglink:


Viglink has become my favorite ad network, as it has the potential to increase your blog revenue by a considerable percentage. In addition, Viglink works in a very different way, and will allow you to earn money with your outbound links. Unlike other ad networks, Viglink offers a very user-friendly user experience. Moreover if you find it tough to work with affiliate networks, Viglink should be your first choice. I tried it and tried it on a fashion blog, and the result was excellent. You can use Viglink together with AdSense or any other advertising network.

Even if you are monetizing your WordPress blog with other ad networks, I suggest you try Viglink for a week and I suspect you will not be disappointed. You can quickly integrate Viglink with your WordPress blog using this official plugin.
  • Minimum payment: no limit
  • Payment method: PayPal
  • Sign up in Viglink
These are just some of the many ad networks you can use to make money with your WordPress blog. In addition to advertising, there are several other techniques and programs that can be used to make money with your blog, such as affiliate marketing, sponsored reviews and the sale of electronic books.

For now, if you have not yet started making money with your WordPress blog, you can use any of the previous monetization ad networks to quickly place ads on your blog and let the money start to flow for you.
