Making Money From Your Blog
1.Starting your own blog is one of the most fun, rewarding experiences you’ll find on the internet. If you write a blog for fun or a creative outlet then things like traffic, page views might not interest you. 1. Know Your Content & Audience - If there’s one thing that most all successful blogs have in common it’s that they almost all have a central theme. General interest blogs might be entertaining for you, but if you’re looking to make money then you’ll want your blog to have a point. If you enjoy electronic gadgets, then a blog surrounding electronic news or reviews would be a good start. Having a strong singular focus will also payoff in the long run for advertising interests as well.
2. Finding Readers & Keeping Them - This is probably the most challenging step when making money from your blog. The first thing to remember is making your blog SEO compliant. A huge majority of people surfing the internet use a search engine, so you’ll want your page as high up on the hit list as possible. Here is a good site with tips on implementing good SEO for blog writers. Frequent other writers’ sites and leave comments. In the blogging world, the more people you visit then the more people that will visit you.
3 Advertising…It’s All In The Content - I mentioned earlier that you want to find a core audience when starting your blog. Advertising is where you’ll directly be making money from your blog. If your blog has a core theme, and a strong audience then a lot of times advertisers will come to you. The easiest, and fastest way to monetize from advertising is to utilize AdSense. Google Adsense simply takes your article and puts ad links into various keywords throughout the post. The technology and advancements for blogging are continually changing. Blogging technology is usually spread through word-of-mouth and forums is the perfect platform for new information.
Tips For A New Blog
I admit it I’m a sucker for Z-list blogs! There’s just something about the Z-list that the A-list just doesn’t (and never can) have. Reading about someone making their first dollar online just seems so much more useful and relevant to me than reading about how to get a six-figure book deal. Despite their great reputation and credibility, a lot of the A-list bloggers seem to be writing about here’s what I do now rather thanhere’s what I did to get here. Hence, the Z-list can provide you with lots of great information on how to make money online from the very beginning.
The newest Z-lister in the blogosphere is Anthony from Blogging Dosh whose site is exactly one week old. That’s right - one week! Anthony is a 19 year old Australian entrepreneur who writes that he’s been blogging for over 5 years! That means he’s been doing it for over a quarter of his life which is pretty cool! Recently, he decided to sell his blogging network Tap Media and get to work on some new projects online.
Containing just 16 posts (6 of which were written on the first day!), this site is about blogging and making money and is as new as they get. Reviewing a site this new isn’t easy, but there’s probably no better time to get some advice and tips on how your site is going.
