How to make money blogging

How to make money blogging

The other problem is that a good proportion of the people who make money blogging do it by selling crappy advice to the other 999,999 failures. I am not going to do that. I am not selling a damn thing, although if you take my advice and sign up for the tools I use, I will make a couple of dollars in commissions. All I need is 999,999 people to take my advice and I will be set for life, in which case – anyone want to buy a few blogs?

Just kidding, I would never part with them  . But let’s go back to the question most people really want to ask - “Can I make money blogging ? and if so – how?”

The answer is yes. I am a professional blogger and have been for several years. I do it with a combination of freelance writing, several niche blogs, article writing and, for the last 18 months,

writing a business blog for a luxury property portal. This last one – if you are considering blogging for business – requires you to have already developed a reputation in a particular industry, and being able to demonstrate the necessary skills to make it work. Which includes generating traffic, building relationships and incoming links and actually being a successful blogger.

There is more than one way to skin a cat, and for the purposes of this article I am going to show you the steps needed to create your own money making blogs. I say blogs rather than blog because the chances are that you – like me – are going to fail in some instances and be successful in others. This will probably mean more than one domain and/or niche. The trick is to then capitalize on the successful ones. For ease of use, all the links in this article will open in a new window. This is how to go about it:

Step One – Choose a niche and domain name

 

Yes – this is the first step. Not, “Oh, I have a blogger blog called

michelle and johns cats favorite toys.blogspot.com

, how do I go about making money from it?” Forget that – you need to identify a niche or subject that could potentially be a profitable one, choose a domain name based on the research you have done, buy it , host it and set up the blog. This is where it gets boring, because you will have to research this. Sorry – now the work begins. You didn’t think it was going to be that easy making money from a blog did you? Don’t worry if buying a domain and hosting it means nothing to you – we will get to that. Of course, having said all that, some one is bound to stop by and tell me that selling toys for cats was the best thing they ever got into and they are now living a life of luxury in the Bahamas off the proceeds.

Researching a potential money making niche or subject.

This is where the work begins. I can promise you from personal experience, that if you are setting up a blog with the sole intention of making money, you need to find a profitable niche.  As an example, let us say you have done some research, and settled on hair care products as a potentially profitable niche and decided to make money from your blog by selling hair care products. A possible search term that some one might use to search for a hair care product would be “hair care shampoo,” so an appropriate domain name would be haircareshampoo.com. Whereas you are unlikely to sell many hair care products through, dogtraining.com. The other things to take into consideration are the amount of people searching for a particular term, the amount of money advertisers are paying to advertise using that particular phrase, and how competitive that term is.

This is where the research comes in. Now, this subject is huge, and I do not plan to go into great detail, because there are other people specializing in this area, some of which are excellent. As far as I am concerned, this is by far the most technically demanding part of  making money with a blog, and I personally hate doing it – but, it is a necessary step in the process. This is my first recommendation

 

To learn how to do effective keyword research, go to this site –

The Keyword Academy

Sign up and follow their video lessons. Membership is not expensive, ( for the first month, then a month afterward) and I guarantee you will recoup the money you have spent if you follow their instructions. Once you have a list of possible search terms that you wish to target, the next step is to go and buy a suitable domain name.

Advanced Keyword Research

Once you have grasped the basics of keyword research, there are a number of automatic systems available that will seek and return potentially profitable niches. I DO NOT recommend using these until you understand the basics. This is vital – do not use this until you have worked your way through the keyword academy lessons and understand the information you are being given. This one is fantastic – Niche Horde.

Basically, what this does is – every user who is using this service can enter keywords and the software searches for and finds related keywords and niches – plus the competition level for that keyword or niche. And it literally returns millions of potential keywords. And this information is available to all members. But – you must have a clear understanding of the information you are being given. It will also search for an exact match domain name once you have identified a potential keyword.

Absolutely worth the a year. That is less than a month. Pay them a visit and watch the video -

Niche Horde

Webcomp analyst

is another useful piece of software that analyzes the level of competition for a particular keyword – right down to the amount of incoming links using anchor text to each and every competing web page you choose to analyze. Amazing piece of software and combined withe Niche Horde will save you countless hours of time. A snip at .

Webcomp analyst.

Step two – Buying a domain name (your website) and hosting it

Let’s stick with haircareshampoo.com. We have decided that this would be a good name to sell haircare products. Whether we are going to actually sell our own product, use google advertising, sell affiliate products or sell banner ads really makes no difference here. Go to Bluehost or Host Gatorand use their search facility to see if that name is available by clicking on the button that says “start domain search” and filling in the word “haircareshampoo,” and seeing if it is available. If it is (which this one is not) you then need to open an account, and buy both the domain and hosting from them. I prefer their unlimited hosting packages, but of you are on a tight budget, get whichever is affordable for you.

]]>

Step Three – Setting up your blog and installing it

This is one of the reasons why I like both Bluehost and Host Gator. To do this step – phone their customer service department, tell them you want to install a WordPress blog and ask them to talk you through the process, which they will do. In ten minutes flat, you will have your own WordPress blog set up and ready to storm the blogosphere with. What I will say is – if you have chosen a different hosting company, make sure they have one click installations for WordPress.

There are dozens of other platforms out there, but I heartily recommend WordPress and would not use anything else. Next part is to optimize your WordPress installation, and the easiest, most time effective way of doing so is to go to Semiologic, buy their software and ask them to install it for you. One issue facing a first time blogger is the massive amount of options available to you. Semiologic will take care of most of these – all within one piece of software.

I have wasted countless hours of my time trying to find the perfect look and/or position for one stupid little piece of text or ad placement. With this software – the instructions are simple, easy to follow and they have a pretty good customer service response.

I say “pretty good” because this is a three-man band, not a great big corporation. Also – this comes with  a fantastic piece of software that allows you to “clone ” a setup. So, once you have one blog that is working well for you – you can buy another domain and clone that one in a few minutes with all the ads in place. This is hands down the best blogging software on the planet.

 

 

So, now you have a domain name, software installed and ready to go, and are looking at the metaphorical blank piece of paper that is in your blog – the post editing page.

Step Four- writing something

Back to keyword research again. Now – this next part will, to an extent, depend on your writing abilities. Me? I can turn out witty, informative content at the drop of a hat, and base it around my chosen keywords. But – I know plenty of people who cannot and still manage to make money from it. So – you need to go back to the keyword academy, do some research on search terms surrounding your chosen domain name and start writing. Depending on your writing skills – you may need to farm this out, buy content and edit to suit your requirements.

Either way, you will need some content for your blog and well researched, witty, informative content that does not quite answer the question your search engine traffic asked is the best type of content for contextual advertising click throughs and well researched witty informative product reviews that do fully answer the question and recommend a product you have advertised is the best type of content for affiliate sales.  So – yes, you will need to do some more work here. Assuming you have followed the first three steps, you now have a well-researched domain name, search engine optimized software and good quality content. The keywords you have determined you are going to use will need to go in the content of the article, the tags on the post, and be used as anchor text to create incoming links. If you do not know what a tag or anchor text is – don’t worry – you will do by the time you have set up a blog and started. Now the next, and perhaps the most crucial step:

Step Five – promoting your site

This is another one that requires work or money. Or both. Much as I would love to say that if you write informatively, it will automatically get found and picked up by the search engines – this is not always true. Sadly, some of the best content I have ever written has never been read because I failed to research the subject properly or discovered later that the subject was so competitive I could never rank well for it.

Think of the search engines as an “online popularity contest,” and you will be thinking correctly. And the way many of them measure it is incoming links from other web sites. So – you need to get out there and find some incoming links. If your content is good, some of these will grow “organically,” but by far your best approach is to make some of that happen. I use a couple of pieces of software for some basic link building, but I also manually generate links as well.. So – you need to go pay these people for incoming links. Which sux – and I hate it – but, I am a realist also. No incoming links means no winning the popularity contest which means no money….. Link building is vital. I will say that again and in bold –no incoming links from other websites equals no traffic equals no money.

 

Ways to generate some incoming links automatically:


One way linksLinkvanaUnique Article WizardConnect Content

I will not go into details about how these work as that is an entirely different article. One Way Links involves you writing a blog post with links embedded in it, which will then be posted to as many other blogs as are in the network, Linkvana involves you posting small articles with a link that will be sent out to their blog network and Unique Article Wizard needs 3 versions of the same article which it will then “randomize” out to hundreds of article directories and blogs.  This will not work on it’s own. You must also generate some incoming links from other sources.

Generating links from other sources

Making them yourself

There are several blogging and article sites that allow you to set up a free blog or account a post articles with links in to your own sites. These include WordPress.com, Blogger.com, hubpages, ezine articles and numerous others. This is a basic starting list, and if you use just these you will be getting a good

 

 

 

start:

 

Hubpages. Hubpages is an article posting site/social networking venue. It is not a blogging platform. This site has high visiblity with the search engines and I use it extensively.You can also make money here on the articles you post, as they offer a revenue sharing advertising model.
WordPress.com. You can set up as many free blogs as you wish here. I have dozens and use them to write brief articles with links to my paying sites. The software looks very like the software you will be running your blogs on and is therefore extremely easy to use.
Blogger. Once again – as many free blogs as you like and I have several which I use solely to generate incoming links.

Ezine articles. This is an article directory that ranks well with the search engines also and allows you to link back to your own site. Free to join and use.

There are many other places to do this, but this is an excellent beginning. If you use all of these, combined with the automatic links, you will be well under way to making money blogging.

Other ways of generating links:

Write really fantastic content that people enjoy reading. They will like it so much, they will link to it. This is actually my preferred way of generating incoming links. But – you need a basis in the first place for people to find you.
Ask people for a link. You can email other people, tell them you have a great site and ask for links. This is less practical if you do not have great content, or are completely new with no ranking at all. But – it never hurts to ask. If you go this route – ask related sites to link to you. At places like hubpages and the keyword academy, which both have forums, you are going to bump into people who also need links and arrange exchanges.
Comment on other people’s blogs. Do not make stupid spammy comments like “thx for the article.” If you go this route, make respectful comments that contribute something to the discussion.
Buy links. I have never done this myself because when I started blogging there was so much stuff in the internet about sites being blocked or punished by google for doing so, that I was unsure whether it works or not. Try this at your own peril. I did try a link exchange program which generated link on one of my outgoing pages in exchange for a bunch of incoming links from other sites. It did not work.

Step Six – Making money from your blog

 

Google adsense. Contextual ads based on the content of your pages using a pay per click/impression model.
Clickbank. Affiliate sales model paying a commission based on the value of the sale. Wide range of products and a good reputation.
DoubleClick. This is google’s affiliate program.
Commission junction. Affiliate commissions.
Amazon. Affiliate commissions.
Pay Dot Com
– Probably the best on this list of affiliate products. An awful lot of products many of which are rip offs, but some good ones in there.

Google adsense is by far the most popular advertising model, but depending on your audience, you may want to combine it with one of more of these others. Other possible options include, but are not limited to:

selling a product. If you are selling a product, then I have to assume that you already know the product you are going to sell. Whether you are making the product yourself or a reseller, you must then determine what search terms are being used by people interested in that product and buy a domain name that is appropriate.
selling advertising space using banner ads. Same story here.

Next question – What will this cost me to setup

?

Keyword research lessons – plus per month afterward
Domain name and hosting – .69 for the domain, and around per month to host as many domains as you wish
WordPress – Free
Semiologic software to optimize wordpress – 5 (the best 5 I ever spent)
Incoming links – One way links – for the first month then per month after
Joining affiliates – Free

Total cost for one year (one domain only) –

,278

This will not need to be paid out all in one go – with the exception of the domain name and semiologic,  these are available as a monthly payment, but these are the basic running costs of setting up money making blogs and of course, if you set up more than one (as you are likely to do) the running costs are split between several blogs. The only extra you will pay is for more domains. I suggest adding Unique Article Wizard and Linkvana to your strategy after you have several domains and/or are making some income. UAW costs per month and Linkvana costs 7 per month.

Next logical question – How much money will I make?

How long is a piece of string? To a certain extent, this depends on how much work you are willing to put in, how well you learn the keyword lessons and that indefinable element – luck. What I have given here is the basics of  how to make money blogging. There are other ways of monetizing a blog, and there are other approaches that can be just as profitable. But this is a tried and tested method, and I can promise that if you follow these instructions, you will make a profit.

Do not, unless Lady Luck steps in and gives you a hand, expect to become rich overnight. And do not make the mistake of thinking that there is no work involved. Certainly the tools I have recommended will get you started faster and more profitably than just by setting up a blog and going for it with your eyes closed. It took me three years to learn wh at I could have learned

at the Keyword academy in three months. And I spent more hours than I care to remember trying to get WordPress to do the things that Semiologic can make it do.

I also wasted hundreds of hours link building manually instead of paying to outsource some of them. Sure – you can do it cheaper, but you will be profitable much, much slower – assuming you have enough money not t0 be earning while you wait for things to work (or not). Realistically, if you do your research properly, and if you make good content, and generate incoming links in the ways I have suggested, the correct niche blog can return you hundreds of dollars a month with very little work on your part once the groundwork is laid. My most successful blog makes around ,500 per month, and my least successful around a month – discounting the disasters that I don’t want to talk about.

Why Having a Great Idea for a Blogging Site May Not Be Enough

Everywhere you turn, there is a new blog popping up each day.  Not only are there numerous blogs, but sites about blogs as well.  So how can you differentiate your blog from all the rest?  In this article I will explain why having a great idea for a blogging site may not be enough.

Finding your own niche is the key to distinguishing yourself from all the rest.  It doesn’t matter whether you are starting a new site or whether you are working on making your own site more distinctive.  You need to capture the interest and attention of the blogging community.

In order to build a loyal fan base among web surfers, you need to concentrate on filling a singular need in such a way that no other site does.  It all starts with discovering your niche.  Once you have discovered your niche, you will still have a lot of work to do, but obtaining your place in the blogging community is the best place to start.

You can’t build a successful blog without a great idea.  

There are a lot of outstanding sites directed at today’s bloggers, and competition for the attention of this growing population is ferocious.

It’s imperative that you have your blogging site stand out from all the rest.  In order to accomplish this task it will require that you offer your readers something that no other site is presently offering.  Another way of accomplishing this is by locating popular sites that are comparative with yours but offering your readers something even more impressive or more valuable.

Spying on your competition is the best way to observe how other sites are able to capture their blogging audience.  Study their models and decide how you can advantageously combine some of their strategies into your own site.  Standing apart from your competition will also require your own unique style.

The sites that have a lot of personality seem to have the most success in today’s market.  Discover how you can incorporate your own personality into your site in order to give your site its own unique feeling and attract those fierce individuals who are searching for what you have to offer.

Once you have decided on a niche, have a good understanding of which direction you would like to take it and have incorporated your own personality into your site, it’ s now time to decide how to get the word out to all the other blogger

How to make money blogging by Using Articles

Do you have a personal blog?  If you do, you may enjoy having the opportunity to share what is happening in your world with your friends and family.  Many long distance friends and family members use blogs as a way to stay in touch, but did you also know that blogs can be used to make money? 

 

If you are interested in turning blogging into more than just a hobby, the first thing you will need to do is start from scratch.  This is important if your blog is a 100 percent personal blog.  If your blog discusses an important topic and your personal life at the same time, like your struggles attending college, this blog may work as a profitable blog.  Blogs that are informative, yet have a small personal touch tend to be the most successful and most profitable.

 

As nice as it is to know the type of blogs, in general, that make more money, you may be wondering how to make money. Unfortunately, many people mistakenly believe they must have a product to sell online to make money, but that is not true.

Blogs that are full of interesting content, especially on issues that are in demand, you can make money from advertising.

In fact, if you can access a fewb reputable wadvertisers, you may be able to make more money than you would if you sell homemade products.

 

On how to use the articles to make money with blogs, a blog must have fresh content. More readers you get, the more likely for you to make money.

At least you must do three blog postings per week. Many professional bloggers, ie those who earn more money, make several post per day!

However, if you are just starting, you should opt for at least one post per day.

 

For many, a blog post is considered the same as an article, but for others there is a difference. Most items that are used for web content or article directories on average are about 500 words each. What is great about a blog is that it can be as long or short as you want. Just make sure that your message is informative, but if you can express your views with hundred words or less, then do so.

 

That said, there are times when you want to add articles to your blog. These articles must be about 400 words each. Articles that are longer are ideal for increasing traffic to your blog. Longer articles in your blog will increase the chancesof getting indexed by the well-known search engines such as MSN, Google and Yahoo.

 

Speaking of search engines, one of the most successful ways to make money with articles and blog posts is to learn search engine optimization (SEO). After closer examination, you will learn the importance of keyword articles. In addition, you can find several online keyword research tools. These tools can tell what Internet users are looking for based on a simple word.

 

For example, if you want to write a blog or an article on ways to save money, you will find that the phrases “ways to save money”"how to save money” and “strategies to save money” are the most popular search words . If you add these words into your articles, readers should find your blog through search engines, which requires little or no work on your part.

 

 

submit articles to article directories. In so doing,that can provide a link to your website. Article directories also allow others to see your articles on their websites, provided that all links are still attached. This gives a lot of potential to make money through advertising.

 

Speaking of advertising, this is the way to make money writing articles. To increase your chances of making money, start with Google AdSense. Then move to affiliate programs.

Christian Blogging ? Beginner’s Guides to Personal Blogs

Christian blogging is for people who are not fainthearted.

It is designed for people who can show commitment and can maintain the thrill or excitement in their posts all throughout.

However, you need to know some things and understand them before you take an exciting plunge over this new endeavor. A Christian blog operates the same as other personal blogs and you need to create some quality content so that readers will keep coming back.

But, let us step back from the “content” per se. You will realize that some things need to be met first in order for you to create a good foundation for Christian blogging.

Are you passionate about the topic or the subject that you are trying to put up

?

It is important that you have the desire to pursue a topic so that you wouldn’t lose sight of your goals in the process. It will only cause stress and discouragement if you are not interested on the topics that you are writing about. In fact, you wouldn’t be able to write a good post at all and if you can it would only be shallow and no meaning at all to you.

For Christian blogging, you don’t need to be an expert in giving advice, tips and counseling but you still need to provide inspiration perhaps maybe from your personal experience.

Are you going for free Christian blogs or own a domain yourself?

Of course, there are free Christian blog sites that you can sign up for so that you can try out your hand in Christian blogging but if you determine that you need to get serious about it you would benefit more from owning a domain because you will be able to get a professional looking website. People will then see you as an expert and trustworthy or reliable because you are appealing to your visitors each time they come to your site.

Can you update your Christian blog regularly?

If you cannot make new posts regularly, there would be no point putting up a Christian blog at all. The blogging schedule is to make regular posts and it could be once per day or thrice per week but the point is you should update your blog. If you cannot provide constant information to your readers, you will lose them in the wind.
