It’s no secret that blogging can be a lucrative enterprise for most people if done correctly. Creating content that people want to read is a sure-fire way to grow a blog’s readership, and monetizing it ensures that it creates a passive income stream.
Many bloggers have other income streams, too, such as share trading. But did you know that some bloggers combine the two to boost their revenue even further? Here’s how:
Opinions and Observations
Bloggers with intimate knowledge of share trading enjoy sharing their insight into the latest stock market news, trends, and investment ideas. They do so because they want to cement their place online as authoritative experts and thought leaders.
They might curate free content that anyone can read, and they may also monetize certain aspects of their sites.
Trading Signals
Another way that some bloggers combine their love of share trading is by publishing trading signals. In a nutshell, trading signals are prompts to guide investors when to buy or sell stocks in specific companies or industries.
They will likely publish some trading signals for free and offer a subscription service for the more lucrative tips.
Education
Lastly, many people want to become retail traders at home but lack the knowledge of share trading and knowing how to get started. For example, they might want to invest in crude oil companies or ones related to precious metals like gold.
Some bloggers may offer tips to educate the public on becoming retail traders, such as those in the infographic below, and monetize their blogs through affiliate links from brokerage firms.
