Make Money Blogging For Beginners

I know it seems like every blogger out there is coming out with some sort of overpriced e book on “How To Make Money Blogging For Beginners”, but I wanted to give my two cents, and clear up a lot of misconception.

First off, let me start by saying that running a successful blog is no joke. Don’t fall for this five minutes a day crap, because anyone that says that is a damn liar.

If you want to run a successful blog, that will actually make you some money. it’s gonna take a lot of consistent hard work on your part, to not only keep your weblog updated with constant fresh content…

But you need to actually write stuff that people will want to read. Because what good is it if you got a site filled with 50 pages of content but no one to read it? Useless, right? like shouting on deaf ears.

Now I’m not trying to discourage your dreams here, but only to prepare you for the hard work that’s ahead. Now with that being sad, if all the elements in your blogging equation add up, we’ll you’ll be sitten real pretty my friend.

In fact I’d go as far to say that if you’re a beginner to the whole online business scene, starting a blog would probably be the best route to go. Mainly because it’s free, but also because you can earn a very respectable income if you got a hot site.

Hell some Pro-boggers I know, earn well over 6-figures a year with their blog’s, and with every new reader, their income gets bigger and bigger!

So what exactly does it take to get one of these bad boys off the ground and running?

1.) Interesting Content: This is really a no-brainier, but you’d be surprised how painfully boring some internet marketers are. People want exciting, interesting, even funny stuff, not a bunch of boring facts that sound like Ben Stein just wrote it.

You need to know who your target audience is, and talk to that person through your writing. Make it conversational, but also relevant and full of the useful information that they’re looking for.

2.) Loyal Readers: This is the 2nd obvious factor to this over simplified equation, but without any one reading your blog, you might as well talk to your self. If you write interesting enough content people will find it, and start soaking up every word you send there way. And if you get enough readers like 100k+, imagine the kind of power you’ll have when you decide to cash in…? 6-figures maybe?

3.) Monetization: This is where it all comes together. If you get the first two elements right, you can literally make a full time income off your blog. You can sell ad-space through banner ads, google adsense, or your own CPA offers. You can get paid to write reviews about an affiliate product, or someone’s site. Or if you get tired of the blogging game, you could sell the site on Flippa, for a nice chunk of change!

And that’s it! That’s all there really is on how to make money blogging for beginners. Now there are a lot more advanced things to get into, about how to drive traffic, writing, etc… But these are the basics, you need to crawl before you can walk!

So go out, get on blog-spot, word press, or even set up your own custom self-hosted blog, and just start writing! And before you know it, you’ll be cashing in some big paydays as well!
