Tips to Run a Money-Generating Blog

Are you ready to cash in with blogging? Running a content rich blog can make you magnetic to money. Seriously. Think of it this way: you become an expert in your niche by running a content rich blog.

If you are willing to create good, helpful content persistently people begin to see you as an authority in your niche. This can certainly help you to make money online with regularity, through your blogging efforts. Making money with blogging grows easier if you work on a daily basis. Too many bloggers never treat blogging like a business, like an offline, brick and mortar activity, so they see no real returns.

If blogging is like a hobby for you, you will make no real money with the strategy. If however you put in a significant amount of time and energy, and act intelligently while you work, blogging can yield you a significant amount of money.

Blog Frequently

You need to blog frequently to make money online. For most new bloggers this means blogging daily to improve your writing skills. In the beginning it will be hard for you to find your writing voice. This process will feel uncomfortable, as you will be speaking your mind, and this act causes all types of self conscious thoughts to arise in your being.

You will fear criticism. You will question the worth of your newbie message. No worries. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Blog daily. Rank higher in search engines. Attract more readers. Make more money online. By blogging persistently you can more easily reach people interested in your product, service or opportunity. You can connect with people who want to line your wallet with money. But you must blog daily to reach this audience. You must find your voice to become more attractive to your target market.

Monetize

So many bloggers wait for some magical day to monetize their blog. They are simply concerned with getting good content out there. This is all well and good, but if you neglect opening up channels through which money can flow through, you receive no money. That is how it works.

To make money with blogging you need to have ads on your blog, or you need to set up an opt-in form which helps build your list, or you need to include a link which directs readers to your squeeze page, or you need to simply sell your own product or service, or share an affiliate opportunity.

You need to open up these channels to money if you are to make money with blogging.  So many bloggers fear opening channels, believing that nobody cares about what they have to say, their content, and that their readers would never click on their offering, or join their list, or buy their product.

This is a massive mistake, for if you are not in the online money making game you cannot make money. Post your links throughout your blog. Direct people to buy your product. Open up channels through which money can flow to you.

Frequent Calls to Action

Another weird block many bloggers experience is the fear of asking people to buy their stuff or join their home business team. It is strange, really, because you will make no money with blogging unless you ask people to do stuff which helps you make money.

This block is a self-confidence issue. Believe in yourself then post 2, 3 or 4 clear and definite calls to action on your blog. Buy your product. Join your list. Tell people to do something so they do it. Use these tips to make money with your blog today.
