What You Need To Do To Make Money Blogging

Although there are a lot of blogs and bloggers on the Internet, most of them are not really making much income, if any. If you want to be one of the few who really does make wages blogging, you'll need to work hard at it. Here are a few things you need to do if you want your blog to be profitable.


Choose a high paying niche. Some topics are more likely to make salary than others. You can get a good idea of what is most likely to be high paying by paying attention to the ads you see, whether on the Internet or on television. For example, you see a lot of weight loss ads. There's a reason for that. There's income to be made selling weight loss products.

Create a lot of content. You need to make a lot of posts on your blog because it gives you a better chance at having something you write ranked high in the search engines. As you write more content, your search engine traffic will naturally increase. Just make sure you write content that is actually useful to your target market so they will stick around and read more once they find your blog.

That brings us to the next tip. Make sure your blog is optimized for the search engines. The most important thing to worry about at this point is to set your URLs up so that they display the post titles instead of the date or a bunch of meaningless numbers and letters.

Of course, you have to monetize your blog if you want to make wages blogging. One way to do this is by running ads, such as Google Adsense, on your blog. You can also sell affiliate products or create a product of your own and sell it. You won't make any salary at all if you skip this step, no matter how many people read your blog.

The last thing you need to do is promote the heck out of your blog. You can do this by telling people about your blog, adding the URL to your signature whenever you send an e-mail or post in a forum and commenting on other people's blogs. You can also submit articles to article directories and put your link in the resource box. Doing all of these things will help you make wages blogging, but don't expect to make a fortune overnight. It is likely that the amount of salary you make will start out very small and grow steadily over time.
