Although there are a lot of blogs and online writers on the Internet, most of them are not really making much income, if any. If you want to be one of the few who really does make income blogging, you'll need to work hard at it. Here are a few things you need to do if you want your blog to be profitable.
The first thing you must do is decide what to blog about. You need to pick a topic that has the potential to make you some salary. You can get a good idea of what you might be able to make money on by paying attention to the ads on TV. The things that get advertised often are probably making the advertisers profit. That's a good indication that you could make income in that niche too.
Second, you must post frequently. If you don't have any posts on your blog, you won't get any traffic because there is nothing for the search engines to find and display in their listings. Post often, but make sure the posts are full of information that is useful and that people are looking for.
Third, your blog must be search-engine friendly. We don't need to get into any major search engine optimization here. The most important thing is to make sure that the titles of your posts show up in the URLs instead of a bunch of random numbers, letters or dates. This will help your posts rank better in the search engines.
Now, you'll either have to sell something on your blog or display ads such as Adsense, where you get paid if someone clicks. If you choose to sell something, you can either create a product of your own or sell someone else's through an affiliate program.
Now you need to get the word out about your blog. Do anything you can think of to promote it. Add the link to your e-mail and forum signatures. Tweet about it on Twitter. Post about it on your Facebook page. Comment on other blogs and make sure to link your name back to your blog. Follow these five tips and you will be off to a good start with your new blogging endeavor.
