A Blog Isn't Just For Christmas
A Blog Isn't Just For Christmas.By John Taylor
I was
watching the news on TV last night and there was a warningabout buying
puppies as Christmas presents. There's nothingworse than visiting the
kennels in the new year and seeing allthose unwanted dogs that were
chosen as presents because theywere so cute at the time. It reminded me
of people who start ablog in the hope of making some money online only
to give upafter a few days or weeks when things don't work out.
The
average blogger makes around $20 to $50 per month. So, ifthat is the
average, it stands to reason that some people makeless than that and
some people make more. The amount ofpotential income that can be
generated by blogging dependsentirely upon your ability to build a
loyal audience of peoplewho have money to spend.
There is no
point in creating a blog and then looking for anaudience. Your first
task is to identify a hungry market andprovide it with high quality
information. Once you haveestablished your blog and created some
interesting content, yournext task is to attract your hungry audience
to your blog. Thereare many ways of attracting traffic to a blog site
includingbanner adverts, ezine advertising, pay per click traffic,
linksfro other web sites and submitting your site to the specialistblog
search engines.
There are literally hundreds of blog sites that
lay desolate andabandoned like an old frontier town with tumbleweeds
blowingthrough on the breeze. Their owners failed to identify a
hungrymarket, they failed to attract visitors or they simply gave
upposting fresh new content to their blogs.
Blogs are dynamic
web sites, they require time and attention.Search engines love them
because they are frequently updatedwith fresh new content. People love
them because they regularlyprovide new and interesting information. But
you have topersist, just like any other business, online or offline,
youhave to work at building up your content, building up anaudience of
loyal readers and creating a portfolio of productsand services that
will appeal to your readers and generate someincome.
There are
many ways of generating income from your blog. Severalpeople have
created successful niche sites that offer productreviews including
books, software, videos, DVDs and otherpopular products. Other bloggers
earn their income from the saleof advertising space and yet others
generate income through payper click systems such as Google's Adsense
programme.
There is now another way of building a profitable blog. A brandnew hosted blog service - http://www.Blog4Cash.com
has married afully featured blogging service with a two tier
affiliateprogramme thus allowing you to build up a residual income
fromeveryone who signs up through your referral. This provides agreat
opportunity to build up a regular income to supplementyour regular blog
profit.
So remember, to become a truly successful blogger you
must takea long term view and seek to provide interesting content for
ahungry market with money to spend. Don't expect to achieveprofit
overnight and plan to build a portfolio of income streamssome of which
have a residual element that will provide you willa recurring income.
