Want to make money blogging? Unfortunately, most bloggers fail. Those who succeed, develop a strategy first, then they follow that strategy. Here are five tips which will help.
1. Choose a Niche in Which People Are Spending Money
If people aren’t spending money in your niche, your blog will never make money. Therefore your first step when considering a niche is to find out whether people are actually spending money online in that particular niche.
As a rule of thumb, if there is advertising in a niche, then money is being spent. To find out whether people are advertising on your topic, visit Google and type the topic name into the search query box. Are there advertisers on the right hand side of the query results page?
2. Decide What You’ll Sell on Your Blog
Once you’ve discovered that people are spending money in your niche it’s time to find out what others are selling. Check out the other blogs in the niche, and look at their advertising carefully. It’s usually fairly easy to see how other bloggers are making money, and if they’re making money so can you.
Many new bloggers want to find untapped niches. If you do manage to find an untapped niche after months of searching, be very careful. If no one is making money, it’s unlikely that you’ll be the first.
Don’t be afraid of competition — competition is good. It means that others are making money.
3. Content Plus Promotion Equals Traffic
This is a simple formula to follow to make money on your blog. Write interesting content, and promote that content. You’ll get traffic. Ideally it will be traffic which converts — that is your traffic will buy from your blog, even if they merely click on an AdSense link.
4. Get the Best Traffic
The best traffic is traffic which converts (makes sales). Not all your traffic will convert, and you’ll need to do considerable exploration of your website referrer logs to find out where the good traffic is coming from.
Experiment, and test: no matter how wonderful (or miserable) your conversions are, you can always improve them.
5. Stay in Touch With Your Readers
Your readers are gold. Treat them as if they’re the life of your blog because they are. Your aim should be to convert the occasional visitor into a constant reader. Encourage your readers to join your mailing list, and to subscribe to your RSS feed.
You can turn your blog into a moneymaking machine. Just develop a strategy, and follow that strategy: you can’t fail.
