How to Earn Money from Blogger Without Spending a Dime

Let’s be real—everyone wants to make money online, but not everyone wants to spend money upfront. And that’s totally fair. If you’ve ever thought about starting a blog using Google’s free platform, Blogger (aka Blogspot), and wondered if you could actually earn from it without investing anything, the answer is: yes, you absolutely can.

In this post, I’ll walk you through how to make money from Blogger without spending a single dollar—even if you’re starting from zero.

1. Start Your Blog (It’s 100% Free)

Blogger is owned by Google, and the good news is that it’s completely free. No hosting costs, no domain costs (unless you want your own custom domain later), and no setup fees.

Just head over to www.blogger.com, sign in with your Google account, choose a blog name and theme, and you’re good to go.

2. Pick a Topic That’s Worth Writing About

Don’t overthink this part, but choose a topic (a “niche”) that:

• You enjoy
• People are searching for
• Can attract ads or affiliate links later

Examples: personal finance, tech tutorials, beauty tips, cooking, motivational content, gaming, or even just life stories—if done right.

3. Start Publishing Helpful, Searchable Content

You don’t need to be a professional writer. Just be honest, clear, and helpful. Write as if you’re talking to a friend.

• Make sure your posts include:
• Catchy headlines (like “How I Saved $200 in One Month Without Cutting Coffee”)
• Simple formatting: use headings, bullet points, and short paragraphs
• Keywords that people might search for on Google (you can find these using tools like Ubersuggest or just by typing into Google and seeing the suggestions)

The more helpful and relevant your content is, the more people will visit your blog.

4. Get Some Free Traffic

You don’t need paid ads to get readers. Try these methods instead:

• Share your blog posts on Facebook groups related to your topic
• Drop your blog link on Quora and Reddit (when relevant)
• Join blogging communities and exchange comments
• Post consistently—at least once or twice a week

It takes time, but if you keep going, your blog will start showing up on Google.

5. Apply for Google AdSense

Once your blog has some solid content (usually 15–20 good posts) and you’re getting some traffic, you can apply for Google AdSense. This allows Google to place ads on your blog—and when visitors click those ads, you get paid.

No need to pay anything. Just follow AdSense’s rules and make sure your blog looks clean and professional.

6. Try Affiliate Marketing (Also Free to Start)

You can also earn money by recommending products and earning commissions. This is called affiliate marketing. A few popular (and free) programs to join:

• Amazon Associates – earn when someone buys anything through your link
• Impact or ShareASale – promote software, courses, or tools
• Local brands – reach out to businesses and offer to write about them

Place affiliate links naturally inside your blog posts, especially when you’re recommending something useful.

7. Other Ways to Earn (When You Grow)

Once you’ve got some regular readers, your blog can become more than just a hobby:

• Offer services (like design, writing, consulting)
• Sell digital products (like ebooks or templates)
• Accept sponsored posts (busineses may pay to be featured)

Final Thoughts

You don’t need money to start earning from a blog. What you do need is time, consistency, and a willingness to learn along the way. Blogger makes it easy to get started, so there’s no excuse not to give it a try.

Start now. Write your first post. Share your knowledge. Your future self might just thank you for it.
