To succeed at blogging for profit, the main thing that you will need is a large readership. A great number of people dream of blogging for profit. This goal is certainly attainable for anyone of average intelligence, a willingness to work hard, and a rudimentary understanding of blogging technology. Yet, few people really manage to reap any profits they work so hard for from their blog. Most who attempt to make money with their blogs will not succeed for two reasons.
Most often, bloggers have unrealistic expectations of how fast their readership will grow and how much money they will make, and when these expectations are unrealized the disappointment can be a crush to the desire to keep blogging. The other trap that many bloggers fall into has to do with a lack of planning. If you want to make a profit as a blogger, (much like at anything, for that matter) a major key to success is to develop a realistic plan and stick to it.
As more and more blogs appear daily, having a creative writing style or a unique idea is no longer enough to garner the attention necessary to build a readership. Readership = Traffic. The higher your traffic, the more revenue advertisers will agree to pay you. However, cultivating the regular visitors that you will need to make a profit isn't easy and takes time to build.
Monetizing your blog is not that difficult, and here is a little course I have developed that will give you all the information and tools you will need to make money on your blog. It's called 7-Days To Blogging Success!
To realize your blogging for profit dreams, you have to balance your number of posts and using some of your time to bring in new visitors by setting up link exchanges with other bloggers, making contacts in the blog community, and following other established methods of generating traffic. And keep in mind, even if you are a marketing genius or have a really great idea for a blog like I said above, success is not going to happen overnight. But regardless if you are or aren't a marketing genius, my 7-Days To Blogging Success! e-course will help you do the things this blog post is telling you to do to build your readership and blog value.
To market, your blog effectively spend some of your time writing posts and an equal amount of time marketing your project. For certain, updating your blog as often as you can is a great way to keep it high on blogrolls and in the blog search engines like Technorati. Once your readers know that you update frequently they will return to your site regularly. It should be noted that it does not matter how often you update your blog, if nobody is reading it, so don't neglect to spend time marketing your site. I can't stress this point strongly enough!!! Learn how here 7-Days To Blogging Success!
Gaining the kind of readership that blogging for profit requires takes time, and likely will take at least several months before you are able to make much of a profit. Stay committed to your blog during this initial rough period. Stay motivated, set goals for how often you will update and how many readers you want to attract, and then, as always, reward yourself for sticking with your plan.
To Your Success,

Yeah. This is a big mistake new bloggers make. They imagine unrealistic things about their blogs but they always get disappointed and jump out faster than they got in. I believe with the right tips, one can build his blog to become successful in no time. There's money in blogging but you just have to do it the right way.
ReplyDeleteThanks John for another insightful comment, that's why I developed my 7-Days To Blogging Success! Ecourse. It will help anyone who wants to use blogging in their business.
DeleteIn blogging you just have to be patient, don't expect to have tons of subscribers in your first week. If it's that easy, a lot of people would be very successful. Also, be consistent, interesting and unique. There are many content on the internet and readers no longer spend time on boring sites. They leave immediately they see nothing interesting so you need to look into that.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Lady Grasha, patients is the key. Thanks for the comment
