Make Money Blogging: 4 Important

Things to Remember.

To make money blogging sounds interesting and fun. In fact, blogging is very

common, both on a personal and business level. Many people, who began with

personal blogs, are now using them as a source of income. Blogs are a significant

source of income for hundreds of thousands of people and is an accepted way for

people to earn money.

You are holding an online conversation. As „Bloggers‟, the objective is to share

quality content with the people who are having that conversation and get paid.

How to make money blogging can be pretty involved and complicated. It is more than

setting up a blog and writing articles. You need to use a clear well defined strategy to

make your blog stand out; engage your visitors and keep your blog interesting.

Although it‟s a lot of work, now is great time to start. It does take effort, planning and

persistence, but with a clear strategy, making small changes and improvements over

time; turning blogging into an interesting way to make money, may not seem so

difficult.

Here is a short list of things to consider to help improve your blog, to get better results

and to enjoy more income.

Blogging Platforms

Blogging is just one way of publishing content and there are of course a number of

ways to get started, some are free, others require a little investment. Blogging

platforms, like the one provided by WordPress, make it much easier for writers to

submit content. There are other providers that offer blogging services, but WordPress

is probably the best. You can be setup in minutes using free blogs.

A number of free sites are available to start with, just register and get started.

Although, they are good, especially for beginners, they have certain disadvantages and

feature limitations. If you are new, then practicing with a personal blog before

developing further is ideal. However, if you are making a commitment to earning a

living using the content you put online, then you really need to be in control of it. You

will need to buy your own domain name and hosting.

Recommendation, whether you use free sites or self hosting, create your blog using

WordPress. If you do decide on buying your own domain name and hosting, then

„HostGator‟ come highly recommended for hosting and „GoDaddy‟ for getting your

domains.

Research Your Niche: Big Picture First

To have any chance of making money blogging, you need to do “Research”. Yes, to

make money blogging, you do need to do research. Is it possible to be successful

without doing so? Well, yes I suppose it is, just like it is possible to step out your front

door and find a fiver there at your feet. It is possible, but it is no way to try making a

living.

Research doesn‟t have to be difficult, but it does have to be done on an on going basis.

Many tell you to find „keywords relevant to your site‟ and then use these to create

your content.

If you want to make money blogging, find where your traffic is. Use Amazon, Ebay

and Google Insight to find good niches. Check clickbank for potential products as

well. Go to YouTube to see if there are any related videos. Collect keyword phrases as

you go, but find the niche and related niches first and then work down. (IE Big picture

first).

Should you target highly competitive markets? Well the answer depends on several

factors only you can decide. Experience, resources and commitments, finances and the

need to see a return on investment (ROI), will all be influencing factors. So don‟t shy

away from super competitive niches just because you have competition, but try to

make an informed decision based on your research and resources.

Remember - „Never take on a stronger opponent directly

unless your back is to the wall and you are willing to fight for your life.‟ -

– „Even the Strongest of opponents have weaknesses and will fall if targeted.‟-

Creating Content

Having a passion for writing may make it relatively easy to write content. However,

finding the inspiration to create good quality posts is very difficult. To make money

blogging, you need to write content people want and write it better than the previous

ones.

Serious bloggers publish content continuously, 2, 3 or more posts everyday. For many,

that is a formidable challenge, but with planning and a little practice, it becomes a lot

easier. So how are you going to get the creative juices flowing? You have done your

research and defined your categories. Define a time period, one week for example.

Now write on your key category for that time.

Begin the week with a main article, include questions but don‟t answer them, give

opinions and examples etc. Follow up with articles & videos answering these

questions and any others that are asked over time. Start building back links to these

posts. Quote other people and build content based on that. You are now curating

content and building the conversation. Be creative, include different things a post.

Like sharing images, videos, linking to other sites all help to engage your readers and

encourage them to come back. Posting quality articles on a frequent basis will keep

people interested and help you make money blogging.

Make Money Blogging How?

Contextual adverts

Well, the money comes with time, but a popular way of making money is with

Contextual ads (EG. AdSense). There are alternatives to Google Adsense, but they are

the biggest provider of contextual ads. Its free and they place their codes on your blog.

Since most of the traffic leaves without purchasing, having contextual ads can give

you an additional income stream from your traffic as they leave. The more that click,

the more money you make. The price made per click varies depending on the keyword

and how targeted traffic is.

A word of caution: Before accepting the terms and conditions and becoming an

AdSense publisher, read through all the guidelines carefully. Google can and will

terminate an account immediately and without recourse for not following the

guidelines.

Affiliate Products:

You need multiple streams of income from your blog. Another way to monetize it, is

promoting affiliate products. There are plenty of affiliate companies needing affiliates

to promote their products. „Clickbank‟ is the most obvious, but there are many more

you could promote. Find products, both physical and digital, to promote. Signup to a

few affiliate programs. Make a few reviews on affiliate products and add affiliate links

to your articles. You profit when readers buy the product via the links in your reviews.

Will you make thousands of dollars in a weekend? Commissions on some products are

very good, but this is about creating a consistent long term income that you can

develop into a good living. If you approach each blog with a clear and consistent

strategy, you can be very successful doing this. Yes it involves some effort, but there

are far worse ways of making money than being paid for having a conversation.

Make Money – Create A Mailing List.

If you want things to get better then you need to take action to make things better. you

can make money blogging but it‟s going to take more than slapping a few ads on your

site.

“if you want to be successful offer a service.

If you want to extremely wealthy control markets.”

Your blog is „Your Service‟, how successful it is depends on how much and how well

it converts the traffic it gets to paying customers. Without a mailing list, Traffic is

extremely important to the success of your blog. With a mailing list you can control

markets.

Yes, traffic is essential to make money blogging. You have to give your visitors good

content to get traffic and the amount of traffic you receive determines your income.

But it is by creating a mailing list that you get the most from your traffic. As visitors

leave their name and email, you go from providing a service to controlling a market.

you can follow them up with different offers again and again. That is when you really

start to make money blogging.
