Making Money With Your Firearms Content

Many people look at well-known firearms content creators and wish they could live the firearms lifestyle 24/7 and make enough to fire their boss. We will look at how you can monetize your content. You can turn your firearms hobby into a full or part-time income stream by creating valuable content and building a loyal following of followers and advertisers.

Five ways to monetize firearm content.

1. Commission work with firearms-related businesses to create content and promote their products. This sounds like a no-brainer, but it is the most challenging road. First, you must create credibility with your work and build an audience. Then you must sell yourself to the marketing team and go through the vetting process. Remember, your content might not fit the brand's image, and hundreds of content creators are also trying to get their foot in the door.

2. Offer firearm-related products and services as an affiliate. Affiliate programs allow you to make 1 to 10% of the sales driven through special codes. This is not a get-rich-quick scenario, but after you work it for a while, it will be a great source of income. Considering most retailers are earning little more than this after expenses, it is a good road to follow. It's a numbers game and will be there as you grow other revenue streams.

Affiliate marketing can be approached in several ways. There are national affiliate programs for the firearms industry. Brownells, Aero Precision, Palmetto state armory, and dozens of others use Avantlink to network with content creators. If your favorite brand doesn't have an Avantlink account, you can get them to sign up here at Avantlink and even make $100. by doing so. Once you get set up, you can promote your links in blogs, newsletters, social media, podcasts, videos, or any clickable media. If you have seen smaller content creators looking like they have a direct relationship with a company, they are most likely affiliate marketers. Remember to say something about the links and what is offered to help guide users into buyers, which is how you get paid.

The second way to make affiliate money is more profitable. Almost every firearms-related business has a website that can create a trackable coupon code. You can get these companies to create a coupon code to promote. This can be a local range, gunshop, or small manufacturer of the firearm-related product. You can even cross-promote products, such as supplements that pay high commissions but are not usually associated with the firearms industry. Be creative in finding opportunities.

3. Newsletters and blogs are still one of the best ways to engage a user base. People are still willing to read what they are interested in. Write about controversial topics and offer your opinion on those issues. Write about the latest product releases, crime statistics, politics, etc. Be consistent with your newsletters and give readers something worth opening. To monetize a newsletter, you can run the affiliate links above or sell ad space to sponsors. Many newsletters are a business by themselves and don't discount the value of simple communication.

Many businesses have a blog section on their website to increase search engine optimization (SEO). The problem is that they need blog writers. You can leverage this by writing articles for smaller companies to boost their SEO. The rate starts at about 5 cents per word and up to .50 cents! The latter is high-quality writing that puts money on a business's table. Which is writing powerful articles with the right keywords for search engines. But with work and effort, it can be done. Blogs can be modified for other businesses, you don't need to rewrite every article but change it up by using keyword searches to benefit the client you work for. If it's not a conflict of interest, use some of your newsletter articles with your affiliate links to bolster your income. Remember to put an email for your newsletter or a link to your blog page to get more exposure. It's a game of numbers.

4. Create video content and sell advertising space to businesses or individuals who want to reach a wider audience. YouTube is all the rage. It is also one of the hardest markets to break into for firearm content creators. YouTube does not want firearm content on its channel. YouTube algorithms will block your content from being seen by your targeted audience. Creators that have been there a while and were extremely popular with millions of views are now limited to thousands of views. Actual monetization is out of the question these days for gun content. You can still put affiliate links in your description, which will offset some of the issues.

The good news is that https://gunspacevideo.com will allow you to be a gun content creator, and you can put your affiliate links in your videos and comments.

5. Social media is still a good way to get your content out. The problem with gun content today is that the same problem exists with shadow-banning firearm content by big tech. You work hard to create an image or short video which can be banned, or if it's not, it has very few likes and comments because of the algorithm built to slow gun content. You can only use a link tree to post affiliate marketing; links are not allowed on Instagram posts.

GunSpace App, which is on IOS and Android, promotes firearms content (available in the app stores or on gunspaceapp.com). You can even post a link directly in the text of the post. The app allows you to affiliate market much easier and has less friction between your post and a sale. You can place your affiliate links in the vault where people can see pictures of the product and a link to buy it.
