Blogging is a hot way for an ordinary person to make some
cash on the net. Anybody with a computer and an Internet
connection can make it in this market. You've no doubt
come across many blogs and maybe you've thought about
starting one yourself.
Here are some common sense advice on how to get your
thoughts out of your head and into your blog. Listen up.
1. You're the boss.
Don't worry about what people will think when you blog.
Just write what you feel, what is in your heart, and your
fans will find you!
2. What To Write About.
What if you can't think of ideas, where can you get ideas
to write about?
There is so many ways to research ideas, that I could spend
a year writing about each one. Here is just a few things
you can write about.
1. Hop to YouTube, find a few videos you like and blog
about those 2 .Go to the major news sites and blog
about current events in your home town, the nation, or the
world 3. Scan a few community forums and blog about
what people are talking about.
3. Ok Ok, I get the Idea, but I really don't have time to
maintain a blog.
If the thought of committing to your blog gives you weak
knees, you can always schedule a bunch of posts in advance.
A lot of blogging software give you the option to schedule
your posts, giving you the flexibility to post at regular
intervals even if you have a short period of time to commit
to your blog.
For example, when you have time to blog, generate a list of
ideas for articles, tutorials and other things that you
might be interested in. Brainstorm at least ten different
topics and create a 3-4 sentence paragraph about each
topic. Then create a post for each idea using the future
post to schedule the posts.
If you want, you can post 1/2/3 blog posts per week. Now,
your blog will auto post your articles even if you can't be
at the computer.
4. Show Me the Money!
Okay, let's monetize your new blog. Once your site or blog
has lots of stuff on it then sign yourself up for Google
AdSense and some kind of affiliate program like the Amazon
Associates Program. I suggest that if you are using amazon
you go with products that you hand pick so they are exactly
targeted to the subject of each web page.
A lot of experts recommend you wait a month before you
start thinking about site monetization. I can see the
logic in this. After all, you want to have a decent
collection of interesting projects, ideas, articles and
related stuff before you start looking for the money.
But, don't expect overnight riches. In fact, don't expect
a dime for at least 3 to 5 months after you start your
blog. If you use money as your primary motivation for
blogging, you will burn out.
5. Time is Your Best Friend.
A lot of the popular blogs that are making nice change have
been around forever. Maybe you've heard of a friend of a
friend that's making a ton of money on a crappy blog he
started only a few weeks ago. Every time you hear these
stories, remember that these great results are not typical.
I guarantee you that a person like that is buying
advertising to get traffic to their blog, that their
content is uninteresting, and that their blog will be down
in a years time.
If there's one thing I've learned is that a good website is
like fine wine or cheese. The longer you blog ages and is
allowed to develop, the more valuable your blog will be.
