Whilst one of the best strategies to make money online, blogging is a slow and long term process that requires patience. But if you stick at it over the coming months your efforts will be more than rewarded.
In this article we will go over a simple blogging strategy as well as reveal the best way for beginners to make money with their blog.
The first step to making money by blogging is to get lots of visitors to your blog on a daily basis. Obviously with a brand new blog with no content this is going to take a bit of time to build up, but keep at it and you will do well.
To get things moving it is time to get a good amount of blog posts typed up and published to your website.
First of all, decide which niche your blog will be based around. Health and fitness, business, entertainment, one of your hobbies? And then write lots of content around that same subject area.
My expertise is in internet marketing and online business so that is the sort of topic I write my blog posts around. Over time Google has seen my blog as somewhat of an authority on the subject and rewards me with daily visitors.
Unlike what you may have been told before, you do not need to be an SEO expert to get lots of website traffic. You do not even need to rank your content on the first page of Google. The reason for this is that most traffic comes from long tail keyword phrases and not the main high traffic term you choose to target.
You will often find that your visitors arrive to a certain blog post from weird and random keyword phrases that you did not even realise you were optimized for.
The best way of increasing the chances that your content will pop up on Google for these weird and wonderful terms is to simply have lots and lots of blog posts out there.
How many blog posts should you write per day? I would say start off with 1 blog post per day to keep you motivated and on track and then when you have got in a groove to steadily build it up to 3 blog posts a day.
It might sound a lot of content to write up, but if you type up each blog post in the same sort of way you chat to your friends when answering a simple question they have (which is what blog posts are for) then it should only take you 10 minutes or so per piece of content.
So now you have all this blog traffic from your posts, the next step is to make money blogging online by promoting affiliate programs.
The focus of your blog should be designed around capturing the email address of your visitors to build an email list, and then to promote affiliate programs to this email list to make money blogging with affiliate marketing.
