Although blogging might take some time before you begin earning, it is one of the ways Nigerians make hundreds to thousands of dollars every month, depending on the traffic flow to their websites. A major requirement that increases your earning potential through blogging is the traffic your site generates. To build your audience, it is important to consistently produce articles that are informative and relevant to the niche you settle for, such as celebrity gist, sports, education, how-tos, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your website has begun experiencing a massive traffic flow, you can begin earning in dollars through several ways. You can monetize your website to earn commissions through Adsense when your visitors click on displayed ads. Other ways to earn through blogging are by writing product reviews for corporations, selling ebooks to your site visitors wherever they are on earth, through affiliate marketing, and allowing sponsored posts from other bloggers on your website for a fee. With blogging, there&#8217;s no limit to what you can make if you are consistent and keep up with the ever-changing blogging landscape. You can begin blogging on Blogger or WordPress which are free platforms to use and do not require hosting fees.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>YouTube Channel\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting and growing a Youtube channel is another means of earning dollars in Nigeria. Before you can begin to earn from Youtube, your channel must have had 1000 subscribers and recorded 4000 viewing hours. Once you&#8217;ve built your audience to the aforementioned requirements, you&#8217;ll need to join the Youtube Partnership Program to be able to monetize your content through Google Adsense. The eligible videos on your Youtube channel that can bring in Adsense earnings must be free from any sort of copyright infringement, meaning your content must be unique. You earn through Adsense when your subscribers and visitors to your channel watch ads displayed for extended periods and\/or click on them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way of earning a decent amount of dollars from your Youtube channel is through a feature known as fan funding. However, fan funding is applicable only when the number of subscribers to your Youtube channel is 30,000 and above. Through fan funding, willing subscribers of your channel can make recurring monthly donations in exchange for bonus content. You can use Patreon, a third-party service, to monetize your Youtube channel&#8217;s fan funding donations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>Amazon KDP<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing is yet another means to earn dollars in Nigeria.
