Five Things You Need to Make Money From a Blog
Ok, so if you read my last article or you know what a blog is the next step is how to make money from it.
You need to find a niche (pronounced nich in the USA or neesh in the UK).
That's just a little fun we all speak "English" but is can be very different from country to country.
To the serious stuff - your niche needs to be something you are interested in.
You are going to need to post regularly to your blog and it is a whole lot easier if you are interested in what you are blogging about, and, it is even better if you are passionate about it.
If you want to make money though your niche has to be something others are interested in.
There is no point me blogging about my lawn mower as most people will not be interested in my lawn mower, and those that are will lose interest very quickly unless they are deranged.
However if I blog about flower gardening then other people may be interested.
There are lots of gardeners out there and it is the sort of subject lots of people will be interested in.
After you have come up with a niche that others will be interested in you have to come up with some content.
You need to write from the perspective of what value am I giving my reader.
You have to give them something of value and then give them a reason to want to come back to your blog for more information in the future.
Now you have come up with a niche and some content you need to get a blog site.
You can get free sites at blogger or wordpress and many other places just type free blog into your search engine.
So now you have a blog and some content you need to find some products to promote to generate some cash.
Uh-oh, how do we do that? Well don't worry you don't need you own products you can get them off the internet.
You can promote information products from a site such as www.
clikbank.
com or you can become an agent for products.
This may require you to do some internet research but the more you prepare the better you will be.
It is probably easier to start with something like clikbank where everything can be electronic and automated and then progress to other products when you are getting to know how the system works.
Then there is one final thing and that is you need to promote your blog any way you can.
There are numerous techniques for doing this but they are beyond the scope of this article.
You can start by getting everyone you know to look at your blog.
There you have it then you need:- 1) Find a good niche 2) Create some content 3) Find a blog host 4) Find some products to promote 5) Drive traffic to your blog The most important thing about making money from a blog is you must start and take action.
If you make mistakes just learn from them - remember Edison took several thousand attempts to create the electric light bulb.
