    Not knowing anything about your blog, I would think advertising is probably a good idea.

    I agree about affiliate programs. There are many opportunities out there and you're sure to find something that fits the bodybuilding and fitness niche. Check popular bodybuilding and fitness product sites and see if they have affiliate programs. That's one place to start.

    Share a sale is an amazing program. They are not so picky as other companies. Also, take a long look at the offerings of peer fly and other affiliate providers that are out there for you.

    Go to shareasale or maxbounty and register.

    Find products that fit your blog.

    Add the affiliate products to the top banner and side bar column.

    A few ways to montize your blog

    Adsense

    You can add adsense to your blog and earn from clicks

    Affiliate commissions

    You can search for body building affilaite programs on google and then insert them on the right in the widgets of your blog.

    You can also offer clickbank body building products on your blog.

    You should be offering a free gift offer with an optin form on your blgo as well.

    Offer people a free ebook or something in return for their email addreess and you can then send them more valuable info and include a product of some sort in the bottom of the email.

    You can also create your very own ebook or something and sell it to your readers in time. (not as an optin offer)

    Hope this helps

    It should go the other way around. First, create an offer your market wants, then blog to drive traffic to that offer along with other traffic generation strategies.

    You can sell affiliate products related to fitness, also you can put Adsense if you have enough quality content. Making an email list will also help in the long run.

    Hi Salmansafder,

    1. Surely you can use google adsense program on your blog by registering with them check their program here https://www.google.com/adsense/start...al_active=none

    2. If your blog is so popular or gets lots of traffic you can can become a publisher of sites who provides native ads or conetextual ads such as Taboola, Outbrain, Shareaholic etc. and you can get paid there on CPC Cost per click basis when somebody clicks on native ads or contextual ads shown on your blogs.

    3. Affiliate programs. You can promote affiliate product on your blog by reviewing the health and fitness related product on your blog. For that you can go to health.com, clickbank.com (deals in digital product), cj.com, shareasale.com, amazon.com, ebay.com. You get paid commission when somebody made purchase of your affiliate product from your blog. Or you can search on google for affiliate programs related to your niche or product.


    4. CPA affiliate programs.
    You can promote CPA affiliate product where you get paid on per lead basis, I mean when somebody completes a specific action on your blog through your display or banner ad on your blog. Sometimes offer can be on trial basis too. And for that you can go to Maxbounty.com, Peerfly.Com. Or you can get to Offervault.com to check your offers.

    5. Banner Ad or display ad.

    If your blog is so popular or gets high traffic you can also apply for publisher program of buysellads.com and bidvertiser.com. They display ads on your blog on CPM (cost per mille) basis. There you get paid fixed amount when a banner ad is shown on your blog 1000 times(1000 impression). There are so many networks you can find out by searching on google.

    6. Of course you can promote your own product in health and fitness niche on your blog.

    Hope this will somewhere help to take a decision to monetize your blog.

    There are some good ideas here and things to be getting on with. Following down the affiliate route you could test and try certain products relevant in your niche, such as supplements, equipment, training plan etc and then write a review about them with the affiliate link at the bottom. Giving people a detailed explanation of the product, what you liked what you didn't could well be the incentive they need to buy from you. It is also a good way to build up trust and get repeat custom.

    Build an email list by offering some sort of free guide in exchange for an email address - do a search on this forum for "list building".

    Then you can recommend affiliate offers to your list, I suggest you look at these:

    The Muscle Maximizer Affiliate Profit Center

    Adonis Golden Ratio

    As a fitness enthusiast myself, I find the sales pages for those products to be quite appealing.

    And no, those aren't affiliate links, they link to the affiliate sign up page.

    Regards,
    Daniel

    If you don't have a product of your own to sell, you can promote affiliate products. A good way to lock your audiences is by providing a freebie in exchange for them to sign up to your mailing list.

    Also, you can build a site or group page in FB as well as open accounts in Twitter, Google+ linking back to your opt-in page. Last but not the least, build great content, something which will leave your audiences coming back for more of what you have to offer.

    Goodluck!
