Blogging is Writing - Key To Making Money with a Blog

Got a blog? Great. Then you know that blogging involves
writing, and the more writing you do, the more money you will
make blogging. Let's look at five tips to help you to become an
expert blogger.
 
1. The more you write, the more you earn
 
As a blogger, your primary task is content creation. This is
because without content, you won't have traffic, and without
traffic, you won't have an income. So content comes first.
 
However, there are many ways you can create content.
 
My favorite way is to speak, rather than write. I use a speech
recognition program on both my Mac and my PC, to help me to
create content more quickly. Although you'll need to train
yourself to dictate your thoughts, the time you spend with the
program in the first few weeks is amply repaid, because you've
got more content on your blog or blogs, and thus more traffic.
 
2. Plan your blog posts each week and month
 
Planning your blogging is vital. I teach bloggers, and the
first habit I encourage them to acquire is the habit of planning
everything they do. Planning your content is vital, because some
days you just don't feel like writing.
 
On these days, your plan gets you blogging, because you know
exactly what you're writing about on any given day.
 
One of my favorite tactics is to create series. Once you've
planned a series of posts on a particular topic, writing the
series is easy.
 
A series can be anywhere from three to ten posts long. Here's
an idea: create a "30 days" series - this gives you 30 blog
posts to plan in advance. Once you've done the planning, you'll
be amazed at how quickly you can write the series.
 
3. Create a network of blogs
 
One blog, or a network of blogs on the same topic?
 
Initially, focus on one blog, at least for the first year. Your
first, primary blog will build traffic via the search engines,
and this foundation of traffic is a real blessing - once you
have hundreds of readers each day, you can USE that traffic.
 
After your first year, I advise that you hive off some of your
blog's categories to make new blogs. This is because an enormous
blog becomes unwieldy. Posts get buried, and it's hard to give
previous posts the attention they deserve.
 
4. Where's the money? Set income goals for your blog
 
You must set income goals for your blog. Start small: a dollar
a day. Then increase your income goals by ten times as soon as
you reach a goal. So your first goal is a dollar a day, then ten
dollars a day, then $100 a day, then $1000 a day, and so on.
 
5. Boost your traffic: the more readers, the higher your blog's
income
 
Finally, as important as writing and content creation in
general is, nothing beats marketing your blog. To get more
traffic, you need to market your blog. So do it, every day -
it's not optional, you MUST market your blog.
 
So, there you have five tips to help you to make money blogging
- use them and prosper.
