Blog and Earn Money - Tricks of the Trade
I started a blog on MySpace a few years ago, when I realized that there were already a handful of people across the country making money from them.
These were essentially writers who, at least from my perspective, had found ways to turn their writing habits into steady income.
Lots of blogs out there, in fact, are dedicated solely to those of us who'd like to blog and earn money, especially now, when the conventional job market has been shedding over a half a million jobs a month for the better part of a year now.
The beautiful thing about blogging for money is that it costs nothing to begin but determination, vision, and tenacity.
That is, at least to begin with.
There are tons of tricks of the trade, from technical bits of knowledge like SEO optimization and ways to ratchet up your traffic to increase chances of ad revenue creation, to writing exercises that are designed to keep your writing interesting to keep doing and engaging for a reading public.
The trick is to be able to keep it going so that more people can read your work, can engage in the conversation you spark on your blog, and continue that conversation till there's a steady and engaged enough of a community to keep it going.
The best part is it costs the community close to nothing to participate.
In a time when the country is big on hope but increasingly low on income, it behooves those of us who are able to find new and exciting ways to increase both.
So while I have been without conventional work for the last five months, I've begun to find a steady rhythm in article and blog-writing that have served to both keep me fed and, just as importantly, keep me optimistic while friends of mine worry about losing their corporate support systems.
And the best part about blogging for money is that all that bloggers really have to do is write about things that excite them and leverage their writings in such a way that they're viewed by lots of people.
