I’m wondering why people on this forum begin blogging, is it for the fun or making money?
I came up with a small guide for the struggling money makers here.
A key element of blogging is establishing your goal and how you’ll reach that goal. I see a lot of people start a blog based on their day-to-day lives which is great, but when they come to monetize their blog they become stuck.
When it comes to blogging, before you begin, you need to research a specific niche you’re interested in and the methods available for monetization. You then need to come up with a plan as to how and when you’re going to make money, ignoring this step will leave you with a nice blog but little money since not every niche is monetizable.
As an example, I could start a blog based on dog training. I’d create a blog which would be updated every Tuesday and Thursday, these updates communicated via Facebook, Twitter and email. The content would comprise of dog training such as house training a dog, basic commands, taking care of your dog etc. Alongside that, I’d create a high-quality product, an ebook, video series, audio guide, whatever is compatible with that niche which I’d sell for around £25.
The way this works is the high-quality content of the blog attracts new readers/subscribers as well as builds a relationship with current customers/readers/subscribers. The more readers/subscribers come to trust you through quality blog content the more money they’ll spend with you in the future.
Making good money with blogs comes down to building relationships with visitors and selling either your own or affiliate products. You could try AdSense or selling advertising spots, but you’d have to get a hell of a lot of consistent traffic for these methods to make a noticeable amount of money.
Just food for thought.
