Due to the simplistic nature of it plus the lowered requirement for technological know how, blogging is a great method to earn wealth on-line. As soon as you think about a lucrative niche to dive in to, a notion for monetizing the blog and ideas for content, you can get started with it. I wrote out the practice I use when starting in to a new niche and decided I’d communicate them with everybody in hopes that someone else can succeed on-line making a passive salary from home.
The beginning thing is to get web hosting. I prefer buying a shared hosting account on a linux machine. You can generally find one that will allow you to host several web sites under 1 account. Go Daddy is a decentpick and gives you the unlimited capability for under $100.00 for each year. You will also require a domain name. I presume it will be a obligation to get at the very least one domain at Go Daddy to connect to the hosting account but I’m not entirely positive. If not, Name Cheap is a decent place to purchase and host your domain and get any upcoming domain names. Point your domain at Go Daddy’s name servers and you are ready to go. Now you can make use of the 2 click installation at Go Daddy to get Wordpress set up on your website. Put on a free Wordpress template, a couple recommended SEO plugins and you are ready to proceed. For each step discussed that you don’t know how to accomplish, Google them and you should quickly locate the solutions.
Now picking a subject to focus on on your website is pretty quick and easy. In my opinion, it’s best to decide on something that you realistically like, and actually practice to an extent. For example, if you bake cakes and pies, travel often, ride or repair motor bikes, work out, play games or anything really then you WILL have information and facts that an abundance of other people would definitely be interested in whether you acknowledge it or not. Decide on a topic and go with it. You may want to back up a step and pick an appropriate domain for the niche.
A simple method to start off making money with your new blog is with Google AdSense, Amazon and Clickbank. You can use Google AdSense for the information and facts visitors and get money for each mouse click on each contextual advertisement. Using Amazon you can link out to physical products from inside of your blog content and/or product reviews and receive commissions if/when somebody purchases something. Additionally with Clickbank you can link to information products from within your blog and product reviews.
You should probably also burn your feed at Feedburner and monetize your feed as well with Google AdSense. You may want to get a gmail email account to use with your site as you will need it for plenty of Google related services like Google AdSense, Google Analytics and Feedburner.
Now, setup and install Google Analytics so that you can keep track of visitors coming to your website. Although not put together for this intention it is fun to set up Prosper 202 on your blog to learn about visitors as well, but in real time. You can see where they got there from and if they came from a search engine you can see the keyphrase or keyword they used.
I, personally would create 2 blog posts every week but it does depend a lot on your niche. Begin with 2 if you aren’t sure. The blog posts can be on anything at all relevant to your niche and you can go as distinct or as wide as you wish. For example, for the cake decoration niche you can speak about your preferred icing type to use and why that is. For riding bikes you can discuss tires, rims, the pedals.. or any other element of the bike. You can even talk about the history of bikes or something else of interest which you know something about. Write your articles before hand if you want to and set them to post at future dates. Shoot for posting every 3 or 4 days. Keep up on the questions and discussion and also answer peoples questions. Also, IMO it isn’t a good idea to blatantly promote a product in each post. Sure, link to an offer with an referral link if it is relevant, but don’t go over board. Plus try to post articles of pure value by sharing your insight and experiences and including no product links. AdSense is fine to have on every page or post however. Some posts, probably 1-2 each month can be published more as sales pitches with calls to action. These suggestions aren’t put in stone, just a decent rule of thumb from my practical experience.
If you are comfy doing videos for most blog posts, then that will attract more visitors. Do the video, write it out in an article, and then pull out the voice for a podcast. Combine the podcast to a podcast feed that you may set up quite simply at Feedburner and then add the video to You Tube and other video sharing sites. Now embed the YouTube version of the video at the beginning of the blog post, add in the podcast in there as well, and then write the text below. Takes lots of work but should be worth the output.
Now, it may possibly be a good idea to put in place an autoresponder and mailing list. I use Get Response. If you are not certain what content to deliver to your newsletter subscribers here’s what I do. Each week fire off a message with a summary of the previous few blog posts and post links to them. Don’t suspect that because someone signed up to your mailing list that they already read your old posts and that they will read future posts. Just link to the ones that’ll be relevant for some time, not posts with content that expires.
As far as getting readers to your blog, I ordinarily first add it to TrafficBug. Then right after publishing each blog post I would submit each post to Traffic Bug, and then “spin” the textual section of the blog post and post it to Jet2Submitter to get onto some article repositories, then to Syndicate Kahuna or Article Marketing Automation to post to niche related blogs and sites, and after that alter the structure somewhat and post to Free Traffic System to again get backlinks from a bunch of niche blogs. Link back to your main page and your recent article from these submissions. Then create a PDF, using OpenOffice, from one of the “spins” that you may pull from Syndicate Kahuna or Jet2Submitter and publish it to a couple of PDF sharing sites.
Do all or a few of these extra tasks and you may be making loot online in no time. To your success.
