Your most important assets are dedication and patience. Approximately
9% of bloggers are able to make a part time income from blogging, and
an even smaller percentage of 4% are able to make over $10,000 a month
from blogging (six figures a year). However, don't get discouraged.
With consistent effort and passion, you can easily make at least part
time income from blogging. Here are the most effective tips on how to
make money blogging:
1. Create a blog with appeal.
The
first step is to have a blog. It is most preferable to have your own
website and it is easy to purchase one. Try to add something to your
blog that makes it unique, intriguing or appealing. Spend a good portion
of time making sure that your design and layout is appealing to others
and will not be distracting or hard to look at.
2. Produce valuable content.
What
you are writing needs to be useful and valuable to others. Whether it
is entertaining, evokes emotion, gives them factual information, or
produces them with opinions, your content needs to have a purpose and
something must be taken from it by the reader.
3. Find your voice.
You
need something that will separate you from other bloggers and finding
your own unique way of speaking is going to attract more readers. Your
writing voice is the tone and diction you use that will make you
memorable and keep people interested in what you have to say. If you
sound generic, people will lose interest quickly and you will not reach
as many people as you wish to. Voice normally comes naturally to
writers, but try to focus on bringing out aspects of yourself into your
writing.
4. Connect with your audience.
Audience
is extremely important and connecting with them will do wonders for
your blog. Learn as much as you can about what you are trying to
communicate to your audience and put yourself in their shoes. Think
about what you would want to hear if you are searching out your own
content and go from there.
5. Interact with other bloggers.
Connections
are important in the real world and in the blogging world as well.
Establishing relationships with other bloggers will give your blog more
attention and support. Comment on other blogs with positive remarks,
especially blogs that focus on the same topic as yours. This will lead
to you feeling more successful and interactive with the blogging
community.
6. Be consistent.
Consistency is
extremely important. Readers will want to hear from you regularly and
will lose interest fast if they see that you have not posted in a week.
Try to post at least once every two days. A successful blog needs a lot
of time put into it and you need to be engaging with your readers as
much as possible.
Having money coming from more than one place
will actually help you make more. You have to remember that once you
have gotten people interested in your blog, your blog is a platform and
there are options available to you for making money. Some of them
include:
- Advertising: You can make money
through advertising by the use of display ads, which appear on your
blog. These ads should be related to your blog's content so that people
will get even more engaged. Google AdSense is also something to explore!
- Giveaways and reviews:
A giveaway or review is when a company supplies a blogger with a
product and then that blogger gives it away to a reader or reviews it in
a blog post.
- Sponsored posts: A sponsored post
is when you talk about a product in detail and a company will pay you
for it. It is important to keep these to a minimum so that you don't
lose readers. Readers will know when you are being paid to talk about
something which is often a turn off. However, once in a while they are a
good stream of income.
