Blogging The Right Path To Prosperity

By Phil Guye


You set up a niche blog that is appealing to a very specific audience. Then you monetize your blog in one or more of the subsequent ways:

By advertising your own items to individuals who visit your blog every week or even every day.

By means of advertising affiliate products (i.e., other people's products).

By advertising CPA (cost per action) offers, where you get a commission every time your visitors perform a specific action such as filling out a form

By means of using Google AdWords, in which you earn cash every time an individual basically clicks on an ad on your site.

By means of asking for and accepting donations on your blog. (Don't discount this tactic - there are several famous bloggers who make over $100,000 annually almost entirely through donations.)

Therefore, how do you begin starting a blog that can provide you $10,000 monthly? Here's an overview of the simple yet lucrative process:

1)First, choose a hungry niche. They should not only be hungry for details (so that they will read your blog), but they must also be ready and enthusiastic to put money down to solve their difficulties or else improve their lives. Figure out what they are already purchasing (that will help you decide how you can profit from your blog).

2)Second, investigate the competition. Check out the active, well-liked as well as profitable blogs in your niche to determine what makes them so popular and busy. Then find out how you can set your blog apart to make it better.

3)Then, buy a domain at NameCheap, GoDaddy or elsewhere that shows the main topic of your own blog.

4)Fourth, go to WordPress.org and download the latest version of the blogging software. Install and customize it.

5)Next, begin blogging! Populate your blog initially with about ten posts, just so your early site visitors have the impression that you possess quite popular blog having great content. Then commit to updating your own blog at least 2 or 3 times per week. If suitable, you may also want to update it every day.

Quick Advice: You do not have to sit by your blog every day and manually revise it. You can pre-load content material and "drip" it to your visitors on a pre-set schedule. You can do this by means of either loading up the content and setting it for a future posting date, or by buying autoblogging software that does all the work for you.

Here's what else you need to know to begin driving traffic and earning profits:

Optimize your posts for the search engines like google by means of making articles around specific keywords. You can utilize WordTracker or any keyword tool to find out what niche keywords your market is currently looking for.

"Tag" each of your own posts utilizing relevant keywords. WordPress lets you add tags (keywords) instantly whenever you're posting your articles. You can also use your keywords as your category titles.

Ping the blog directories as necessary so that they crawl your site whenever you create a new post. If you're using WordPress, it pings the sites instantly. In any other case, you can use a service like pingoat.com.

Finally, you need to produce content that gets people coming back to your website repeatedly. You may create posts like:

"Top ten" lists. Make a number of helpful top ten lists, and your blog will end up the "go to" place for niche-specific information. For instance, a weight loss site might list the top ten diet programs, the very best 10 fat burners, the top 10 workouts, the top 10 fat-burning meals and so forth.

Product reviews within your niche. Make sure to list the merchandise defects as well as the good points, as complete honesty encourages trust... and sales! Be sure to use your affiliate link.

Controversial articles that go viral. Don't hesitate to polarize your audience. You could repel a number of people, but you'll draw your target audience nearer to you.

Highly helpful content (the kind of content that other people are selling).

Strong opinion articles (which could often make a buzz). Go ahead and get passionate while having a strong stand.

Articles that join conversations already happening in your niche. If you take a different standpoint or form a strong viewpoint, individuals will migrate to your own blog just because you're providing something unique.

Answers to frequently asked questions. (Simply go to blogs within your niche to see what types of questions people are frequently asking.)

And anything that sets your blog posts apart and gets people talking and linking to your own blog.
