Successfully blogging for money

Posted by SharonEvans on January 21st, 2015

There are plenty of bloggers that live off only the revenue from their websites and their blog. This might seem surprising and we might think that once we have a website or a blog that generates a lot of revenue, we’ll start doing something else. However, in this case, blogging has become more than a hobby, it’s a job and a way of life combined into one. If we look at the popular blog sites, we can figure out what the secrets behind their success are and start applying them ourselves.

                Starting a blog shouldn’t be all that hard since the options it ought to have are more than obvious. First off, just like any website, it needs to have style. A bland and tasteless website will do little in the way of leaving an impression. However, we won’t like to embellish it too much, as we can quickly turn it into a kitsch, a place that gives headaches or worse. Our best bet is to get someone who knows what he’s doing and ask for help in giving it a professional look. Secondly, but just as important for the success of our blog is to create a brand. This is easier than we think since all we need is to get a logo for our blog. It is also mandatory if we are going to be blogging for money. For this, if we don’t have any experience in graphics design, we should try and work with someone that does. Another thing that we’ll notice of popular blog sites is that they’re all optimized for mobile devices. This is another must, as there are plenty of users which like to read on the go.

                While we’ve mainly focused on form so far, we shouldn’t neglect the content of our blog at all. In fact, while the other things we talked about will give the blog a nice look and good accessibility, it is actually the content that makes the blog famous or infamous. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to stay at such extremes, so the odds are that, if we’re not famous, then we’re probably unknown. What we need to figure out is the subject that we’re going to talk about, who our audience is, and how we can interact with them in such a way as to not drive them away. If we don’t have any experience in blogging for money, then we should probably stick to writing about topics we’re really passionate about. In this way we’ll be able to create engaging content that’s honest and believable, much like the one on popular blog sites.

                One of the best ways to increase our blog traffic and our income is to make it search engine optimized. We will need to make sure that the content on our pages is optimized so that it can easily be found by people using search engines. In order for this to work, we’ll also need to register our website on the most popular search engines. Editors of popular blog sites know that the better their social media accounts are linked, the more likely they are to increase the traffic on all their webpages. Running simple campaigns on the social media is also a great way to increase traffic and business exposure, and one of the first things we should learn how to do if we’re intent in blogging for money.
