Today,
thousands of people
make a living by blogging.
These people,
apart from earning money,
have gained world fame and wrote books.
Now it’s your turn to be one of them!
This process is quite time-consuming
but not difficult at all,
and there are many ways to do it.
In this video,
I’ll give you tips on starting a blog
that can make money
and earn traffic with it.
So, here we go!
Hello everyone,
I'm Sara from Dopinger.
Today, I'm gonna talk about
How to Make Money By Blogging?
We can define the websites
where people share their knowledge,
experiences,
thoughts,
criticisms,
opinions,
or what they see
and hear on the internet
as blogs.
It may be everyone’s dream
to make money by blogging,
but successful bloggers are determined,
hardworking,
knowledgeable,
and interested in research.
If you think that you have these features,
you can turn your blog
into a source of income
with the right planning and working tirelessly.
Before you learn how to make money by blogging,
there are a few steps you need to complete
when you start a blog:
One
Choose a Niche
Having a niche means
your blog will focus on one topic
rather than multiple topics.
You may be thinking about
why this step is necessary.
People stay on your site for the content,
whether they come to your blog
through search engines or because of
common interests.
So don’t try to write about everything
as it will reduce traffic to your site.
This way,
your audience will know what to expect from you
and will continue to visit your site.
They may even want to share your posts
on their social media accounts,
which will undoubtedly increase your traffic!
Two
Choose a Domain Name
A domain name will also identify your blog,
just like your niche.
A great way to choose a domain name is
to match your chosen niche.
For example,
if you are starting a blog about fashion,
a domain name that conveys your message very clearly,
such as www.dailyfashiontipsandtricks.com,
would be good.
Moreover,
a domain name with the most searched keywords
will help your blog rank better in search engines.
It would be beneficial to take the time and effort
to choose a domain name.
If nothing comes to mind,
you can use the domain generators available
for suggestions.
Three
Create a Blog
After setting up the niche and domain name,
it is time to actually create the blog.
For this, you need two things:
web hosting and a blogging platform.
There are several types of hosting
you can choose from.
If you are starting a blog for the first time,
I recommend using shared hosting,
which is the most beginner-friendly.
For the blogging platform,
WordPress is the best.
It is the Content Management System
that has a higher education curve
but offers the most functionality.
Four
Create Good Content
After you start a blog,
the next step is to fill it with good content.
To keep your visitors engaged,
you need to keep both the number
and quality of your blog posts high.
Five
Engage with Your Readers
After all,
it’s up to your readers to decide
whether your blog is better than the rest.
So that’s exactly what you need to focus on:
getting your readers to engage.
First, make your posts more active
by adding call-to-action buttons.
For example,
invite your audience to leave a comment.
This will give you a chance
to interact with them
by replying to their comments
or solving their problems.
Another way to do this is
to write biased articles.
Some of your readers
may not agree with you,
but this allows you to have an open discussion
with your readers,
which is great for audience engagement.
Six
Increase Your Organic Traffic with SEO
What exactly is this SEO,
I hear you ask.
Search Engine Optimization is an application
made to make your website appear higher
in search engine results pages.
Google has an algorithm
that determines which site deserves to be on the top.
While no one knows exactly how it works,
there are several factors that can help you rank better.
They are site performance,
content quality,
keyword distribution,
site structure
and linking.
You should improve these factors.
Seven
Paid Ads
If organic SEO isn’t giving you enough traffic growth,
why not consider paying for it?
Using paid ads,
you can run a pay-per-click campaign
that will drive tons of visitors to your site!
So what are these PPC ads?
Essentially,
they are quite similar to the commercials
you see on TV,
but with a slight difference.
Instead of paying directly,
you only pay when someone clicks on the ads.
Moreover,
you can find an advertising service
without putting up with the hassles,
and you can register
and start advertising instantly!
Well,
now we know how to start a blog.
But how can we make money by blogging?
Here are some best practices for that!:
Google AdSense
Although not difficult to set up,
it can take a long time to get paid.
Sponsored Content
It may be compatible with your content
and may not look like an advertisement.
Just don’t overuse this method,
so you don’t miss traffic.
Affiliate Marketing
It gives you a flat rate
compared to sponsored content.
However, it does not guarantee
that people will buy the product.
Amazon Affiliates
It has a wide variety of catalogs
but is less rated than other affiliates.
Digital Goods
You never run out of stock,
but good digital products are hard to produce.
Membership Sites
Even a single sale can earn you money
for a period of time,
but fresh content is hard to come by.
Private Tutoring
It gives you the chance
to collaborate with other teachers
and grow your business network.
However, it is difficult to compile material
for each lesson.
Podcast Advertising
It is a reliable method for ads
but it requires expensive equipment
and good editing skills.
And RSS Advertising
It can reach large audiences.
But, not many people use RSS these days.
Alright, that's it for today.
