You have heard success stories of men making forty big on the internet. You know that writing a blog can bring you money. But you get on to the web and understand that :
a ) Even though you've been posting your entries in a web-log for some time now, you do not see any money coming in.
b ) Most people don't even know that your blog exists, far less subscribe to it. So, how do those folks ( those people who earn cash online ) do it?
99% of the blogs created online can't earn their writers money. The reason : the blog writers are not focused enough to make their blogs earn them money. Their writing meanders on and on about numerous subjects and they don't know how to tap into the financial potential that this resource offers.
Get the basics Right.
If you wish to be amongst the elite few who can earn a sizable sum of money from blogging, you need to rethink your system. Here are a few pointers that may help you get started :
a ) choose a genre or niche to blog on.
To enhance the rating of your site, your articles need to be anchored in a single niche or genre. Most searchers get onto the web to search for important information. If your internet site is focused on a particular niche subject, for example, health, you'll get many repeat visitors who specifically sign in to your blog, because they know that your blog delivers information on health and they can expect more subjects and ideas on health to turn up in your blog.
A blog that is professionally written and is keyword-focussed, draws a load more traffic than one that is written about random topics and contains unverifiable claims or opinions of the author. So, before you begin, ask, what subject are you really keen about, well-informed about, or simply plain interested by. If you can arrive at such a subject, designate it your niche and write all your blog entries around it.
b ) Add advertisements and donation forms.
Most bloggers do not know about Google AdSense or Text Link advertisements. These nifty advertisement suppliers help you place a small ( or massive, depending on your preference ) advertisement box on your blog. You earn cash every time a visitor clicks on the links publicized in these boxes. Therefore more the traffic on your blog, more will be the number of times your visitors click these advertised links, and more often will you make cash. Do a google search on these ad suppliers to add more ads to your blog.
c ) Network. Network. Network.
If you are new to the web, join some social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, or Orkut. Also try out popular norwegian "tjen penger" sites, as tjen penger is the keyword for earning money in lots of languages. As you make friends ( or gain supporters ) on these sites, you can tell them about your blog and they can spread the news. You can publish a few articles on the free article e-zine websites on the web and add a link to your blog in the articles. Remember, the more traffic you generate for your blog, the more money you earn.
