Do you write a blog? Great. Then you know that blogging involves writing (articles on demand), and the more writing you do, the more you will make money blogging. Let’s look at five tips to help you to become an expert blogger.
1. If you write more ,you earn more.
Your primary task is content creation as a blogger. This is because without content, you won’t have traffic , and you won’t have an income without traffic. Content is the key.
However, there are many ways you can create content.
My favorite way is to speak, rather than write. I use a speech recognition program on both my PC and my Mac , to help me to create content more quickly. Although you’ll need to train yourself to dictate your thoughts, the time you spend with the program in the first few weeks is amply repaid, because you’ve got more content on your blog or blogs, and thus more traffic.
2. Every week and month plan your blog posts
Planning your blogging is critical. I teach bloggers, and the first habit I encourage them to acquire is the habit of planning everything they do. Planning your content is vital, because some days you just don’t feel like writing.
On these days, your plan gets you blogging, because on any given day you know exactly what you’re writing about.
One of my favorite tactics is to create series. Once you’ve planned a series of posts on a particular topic, writing the series is easy.
A series can be around 3 to 10 posts long . Here’s an idea: create a “30 days” series – this gives you 30 blog posts to plan in advance. Once you’ve done the planning, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can write the series.
3. Create a network of blogs
One blog, or a network of blogs on the same topic?
Initially, focus on one blog, at least for the first year. Your first, primary blog will build traffic via the search engines, and this foundation of traffic is a real blessing – you can USE that traffic, once you have hundreds of readers each day.
After your first year, I advise that you hive off some of your blogs categories to make new blogs. This is because an enormous blog becomes unwieldy. Posts get buried, and it’s hard to give previous posts the attention they deserve.
4. Where’s the money? Set income goals for your blog
You must set your goals for your blog. Start small: a dollar a day. Then increase your income goals by ten times as soon as you reach a goal. So your first goal is a dollar a day, then ten dollars a day, then $100 a day, then $1000 a day, and so on.
5. Boost your traffic : the more readers, the higher your blog’s income
Finally, as important as writing and content creation in general is, nothing beats marketing your blog. To get more traffic, you need to market your blog and get back links.. So do it, every day – it’s not optional, you MUST market your blog.
So, there you have five tips to help you to make money blogging – use them and prosper.
