Over the past decade, blogging has become a popular activity. While many people have blogs simply to express their thoughts and feelings or to update friends with recent family happenings, some people earn a little bit of money off of their blogs.
Others earn enough residual income to quit their day jobs. So, how do you start blogging for money? What are the things that these successful bloggers do that others have missed? If you are contemplating beginning a blog to earn residual income, use the following tips to get started on the right foot. flavatite.com
1. Develop a vision. In order for a blog to be successful, there must be a plan.
You cannot expect to "fly by the seat of your pants" in the blogging world and earn a significant residual income.
First, you must brainstorm possible topics and find a good niche. A good niche topic for blogging will be specific enough that there is not a lot of competing content already on the web, yet broad enough to contain hundreds of posts relating to the topic. Additionally, it must be interesting to you and a relatively large audience. If you do not care about the topic, your blog will become drudgery for you and it will not be successful. If there are not enough readers, your blog will have limited residual income potential.
2. Create. Once you have determined your niche, you must actually create the blog. You will need to buy a domain name, purchase a web hosting plan, and install a blog platform. Once these technical aspects have been completed, you are now ready to begin building our blog and start earning residual income. flavatite.com
3. Introduce yourself. There are millions of blogs out there, and people want to know who is authoring the blog in order to asses the credibility of the information presented. Be sure to include information about your educational background and mention your past successes so that people will understand that you have experience and knowledge about the topic. Additionally, load a professional looking photo of yourself so that readers can place your name with a face.
4. Develop a header. The header is an important aspect of your blog because it gives readers a quick summary of your blog's content. You should also include a short tagline that provokes readers' interest and curiosity about your niche.
5. Start networking. In the blogging world, shy bloggers rarely succeed. Without getting out and spreading the word about your new site, no one will know that you exist and your blog will most likely fail. One of the best ways introduce yourself and spread the word is to network through other blogs, Find some of the most reputable, popular blogs and comment on their posts. After each comment, be sure to link back to your own blog or your most recent post. This helps get initial traffic flowing to your blog, and as time goes on you should begin to see traffic increase and subscriptions accumulate. flavatite.com
