Steps To Earn Money From Blogging

This makes everyone nuts, earning money online? How do they do it! People make it sound so simple, but its no where near easy. It does take time to take off and prosper but your the one to make it what it is. Follow my guide and you should be up in no time! Lets Get Started!! :)

Many people get started and find out they only make pennies to the dollar, but some post success stories and the other party feels down. Hence many people who blog will quit eventually. It does need some planning, just like any business or any job you do. It needs to be carefully thought out with what content and material you are going to choose. Lets Get Started This Time! :)

1.) You should pick a topic that you like or have a good understanding of, Simple! We all know that their are bloggers out there that choose to write about their daily ramblings like myself,but having over hundreds of thousands of these blogs, makes it kind of boring don't you think? Some popular topics today are technology and anything that is product focused.

2.) Building up a fan base or as we call it Traffic! The best way to create a sturdy structure of traffic is simply to post quality content. Content is king like I mentioned and we should post what comes to our mind, for instance if you write a review of a product for your tech blog which tells the public about the new "iPhone 360" not saying there is one, but you get the picture. Speaking of pictures, hence having a tech review blog you can also include Pictures, a youtube video. Doing this will bring your fans closer and it sends them a message that you are serious of what you do with your blog and you have the time to review for the public.

3.) When to monetize the blog, this can be very tricky. This can be a big debate amongst many blogger's and webmasters. Some people stress placing ads on a blog in the beginning will show the crowd you expect to have read your blog that you are looking for cash right away with junkie content. Some people like to place advertisements after a certain amount of unique visits to their blog, this can cause many people to hate the new look of the blog with the annoying ads. This is entirely up to your perspective.

Plumwire blog although has ads since its startup, I believe that it does not matter. It is up to the people who visit your blog if they all of a sudden click your sponsored links. I myself like to watch my blog prosper and keep track of daily earnings.

4.) Control Yourself, as blogging is not a get-rich and live in a nice new condo scheme which many blogger's have proven possible. A first time blogger can make a couple pennies a day to even a dollar. With that being said you shouldn't give up yet, if you are focused and are looking to put your ideas out on the web you shouldn't have any problems. What happens next is usually what 80% of bloggers do...

5.) Giving up. You must start and stay strong, you just made a commitment and you should continue with it. Many bloggers say the first six months in the blogging scene are important, not only because you profit the most depending on the blog. Yet you set a example of why your blog is standing out above the rest, this shows people why your blog is not a get rich quick scheme. Tough it out and stay strong for the first 6 months, it will soon pay off!

6.) Google Adsense is key, but wait theres more! You don't entirely have to rely on Googles wonderful money making tool AdSense. A lot of bloggers that see that your blog is prospering with traffic and a fan base would like to have a spot on your blog. This is where you sell a link or image on your blog to link to theirs.

7.) Affiliate and stream your income. Work with sites such as cafepress.com to customize your own line of products. T-shirts, Hats, and other products can be sold through them and once you sell a product earn revenue off it.

8.) From a blog to another. Many of today's blogger's learn from past blogger's on how to build a nice and steady blog. A popular topic today is making money online for instance John Chow who offers his readers free E-books on earning money. He also likes to give reports on how much he earns through blogging each month. In the month of June he claimed to have earned over $40,000.

Some people take it seriously and some take it for having fun and enjoying what they do, that should be your priority. Don't let Chows success intimidate you, everyone starts somewhere. Now or never you or someone you know will be the next internet blogging full time mom or dad, so why don't you give it a go?
