How To Make Money Blogging:
To make money blogging is a bit of a challenge but with determination and patience money will steadily flow in. When you first write your blog write about something that is interesting and something that your followers will check back too daily to see you new updates. In order to make money you first need to Monetize your blog. When you do this don't be shy about it. Actually Monetize it, put adds all over your blog so that people can click them. Once you have done this google Adsense will pay you every time you get a click. On average you will get around 100 views a day at the start but with some advertising you will soon be up in the thousands.
Can Anyone do it?:
To be quite blunt yes, anyone can write a blog. How much money you make from the blog will vary. Someone who rush's everything and doesn't spend a solid amount of time on it will fail miserably. If you write something interesting that everyone will read, if you update it regularly then your blog is on its way to success.
Traffic:
One of if not the most important part about blogging is traffic. Without traffic your blog is going to be a complete fail. When you first make your blog you while get very few view each day, when i first started i only got around 50 a day, always remeber, you've got to start somewhere, you can't just expect to be raking in thousands after your first week. Patience is a virtue and trust me for blogging patience is very important.
On Average you'll get around 7 clicks for every 100 views, thats 70 for every 1000 views.
There are many ways to attract people (traffic) to your blog but one of the best ways would be to use facebook or twitter, When i first made my blog i put a link to my blogs on all the popular facebook sites like Justin Beiber and Britney Spears etc. Other good ways are
1. Set up an email subscription form on your blog and invite everyone in your network to subscribe: family, friends, colleagues, clients, associates.
2. Set up a feed on MyYahoo.com so your site gets regularly spidered by the Yahoo search engine.
3. Read and comment on other blogs that are in your target niche. Don't write things like "nice blog" or "great post." Write intelligent, useful comments with a link to your blog.
4. Use Ping-0-matic to ping blog directories. Do this every time you publish.
5. Submit your blog to traditional search engines.
6. Submit your blog to blog directories.
Tip: Create a form to track your submissions; this can take several hours when you first start so schedule an hour a day for submitting or hire a VA to do it for you.
7. Add a link to your blog in your email signature file.
8. Put a link to your blog on every page of your website.
9. If you publish a newsletter, make sure you have a link to your blog in every issue.
10. Include a link to your blog as a standard part of all outgoing correspondence such as autoresponder sequences, sales letters, reports, white papers, etc.
11. Print your blog URL on your business cards, brochures and flyers.
12. Make sure you have an RSS feed URL that people can subscribe to. The acronym RSS means Rich Site Summary, or some may consider its meaning as Really Simple Syndication. It is a document type that lists updates of websites or blogs available for syndication. These RSS documents (also known as 'feeds') may be read using aggregators (news readers). RSS feeds may show headlines only or both headlines and summaries.
13. Post often to keep attracting your subscribers to come back and refer you to others in their networks; include links to other blogs, articles and websites in your posts
14. Use Trackback links when you quote or refer to other blog posts. What is TrackBack? Essentially what this does is send a message from one server to another server letting it know you have posted a reference to their post. The beauty is that a link to your blog is now included on their site.
15. Write articles to post around the web in article directories. Include a link to your blog in the author info box (See example in our signature below).
16. Make a commitment to blog everyday. 10 minutes a day can help increase your traffic as new content attracts search engine spiders. Put it on your calendar as a task every day at the same time.
Tip: Use a hit counter to track your visitor stats: how many unique visitors, how many page views, average length of visit.
