How To Write A Blog And Make Money Doing It
Posted on Saturday, January 28, 2012 by today
Is it really possible to make a living through Blogging? Yes. Many people have become multi millionaires, become respected news stories themselves and have gone on to found and develop large media companies as a result. So the fact of the matter is why can't you? In this post we will look at how to write a blog and make money doing it.
Pete Cashmore started his blog from is bedroom in Scotland. Now Mashable receives 20 million unique monthly visitors, has over 580,000 subscribers and is one of the most respected sources for Internet and social media trends.
Political website The Huffington Post was started by Arianna Huffington and sold to AOL for $315 million dollars. Another technology blog, Tech crunch, which covers technology start ups and web 2.0 was also sold to AOL in a reported multi-million dollar deal.
So yes, there are many examples of now famous bloggers who started out small and have gone onto make huge fortunes through blogging.
Of course these bloggers are engaging writers and have knowledge of an area that is in high demand. If your plan is to learn how to write blog and make money online then you will need to find your voice and know how to blog effectively. Because quite frankly if you have nothing interesting to say, then people are not going to start trawling your site to see pictures of your cat in a washing basket.
- Find a Niche and Fill It – The first thing that you need to do is find a niche. A market that is hungry for information, knowledge or products on a topic that you have a sound understanding of.
- Choose A Domain Name – Come up with a name that relates to your business goals. If the name can be optimized for search engines even better.
- Start Writing – Provide UNIQUE and QUALITY content regularly to satisfying the needs of your audience but keeping them hungry for more.
- Write More – Don't forget that quality comes before quantity.
- Get More Eyeballs – You need to learn how to promote your blog content to get it in front of as many people as possible.
Now you might think that sounds quite easy, but it is not! One huge myth that I feel the need to dispel right here is that just by starting a blog and writing a few posts you will not get thousands upon thousands of readers. Nor will you get hundreds of clicks to whatever affiliate product that you are trying to sell. There is no shiny new system on the internet that can bring you those people! Trust me, I have looked!
That being said I will outline below 3 ways that bloggers make money through blogging.
How to Write a Blog and Make Money Doing it – 3 Methods.
- Google Adsense – Adsense is where you allow Google to place contextually related adverts on your site. The adverts can be image, text or a mixture of both. Quite often you find that personal blogs choose not to have Google Adsense as it dilutes the overall message of the blog.
- Affiliate Offers – Affiliate marketing is a huge business, which is only getting bigger. Say an electronics retailer has an affiliate program. The affiliate puts a link on their blog back to the retailer. The affiliate then gets paid if a lead is generated or a sale is made. Payment could be a flat fee or a percentage of that sale that is made.
- Private Ads – When a blog reaches a certain traffic level then it becomes attractive for other web owners and affiliate marketers to advertise their products or site on your blog.
There are many ways to monetize your blog, however those methods might not fit your strategy. In fact you may be using your blog to build your brand and authority on certain subject matter so that over time you can grow a fan base, become recognized as a leader and as such make money through speaking engagements or by releasing your own products and continuity programs.
So there you have it, How to write a blog and make money doing it. Ultimately the name of the game is consistency, quality and patience. By practising all three over time you will see a return on your investment either thorough advertising or developing your own business asset.
