5 Ways To Ensure Your Blog Makes Money

Ok. Here's what took me forever to figure out. Intentions are not to be harsh but to simply cut to the chase.

Dull Content

I'll apologize in advance. What I'm really saying is that when we're all new, we tend to post to our blogs just "for the sake of blogging", but that's not what puts food on the table. Whenever we do anything, it should be with the final goal to monetize what you know and share, provided it gives people what they need.

I'll tell you what finally dawned on me. Focus on the problems people inside of your market are striving to solve. Then..., write e-books.

Write About A System

Eventually, you're after some kind of system you can publish where several of your e-books work in tandem (together). When you satisfy one need, you'll know ahead-of-time what the other needs are. So, it's important that I recommend you study your niche. It takes time but when you know what people need and will pay for, half your game plan is covered.

Now, if you're like most of us and you want to reap solid benefits from any content you read elsewhere, chances are that others will expect the same benefits from your content.

* Strive for quality as often as possible

* Offer major value

* Bolster credibility by posting high quality content people can use to solve a problem today

* Strive for unique content every time you post

* Find out what helps your subscribers most

* Wait for the highest quality product launches that will repeatedly
stand the test of time...., but then and only then..., offer your affiliate link.

* For network marketers who aren't familiar with affiliate marketing, I will tell you. It's something your top dogs do. They find products/services that are already online, and they market those things to people IN ADDITION to marketing their MLM's. Affiliate marketing is front end commissioned pay supporting a back end goal.

When you do this, you program your readers to expect the best when it suits them. Try not to offer an affiliate link every time you form a post.


Boost Blog Design

Your Blog's Design Quality May Be Lacking.

Here's what I do:

* Look at some else's blog

* Compare your blog to the other blog source

If your blog design is poor, you can see your results. That's ok. Consider making the changes I'm offering here. I only share the marketing activities I do myself.

Your blog design determines whether or not you make money because -- let's assume --

1) Your traffic is mainly coming from Google, backlinks, or commenting,

* It takes 1/2 second for someone to decide whether or not they'll stay or leave once they've seen your blog

When people look at your blog site, you want a professional design in place so that people don't feel as if they've wasted their time.

* It's not necessary to spend money on a blog design

BUT...,

* You'll get a much better design if you spend some money...


You Can Do This By Outsourcing And/Or...

* Locating affiliate logos on various products/services you'd like to market

* You can often get these links for FREE

* If you're on a budget, run a Google search for "Free wordpress themes".


Your Logo Matters

Your business logo matters so this is where you may wish to consider hiring a pro. If it's not in your present plans, that's okay -- work with what you have.

You can have someone design your logo for you at a later date. Just bookmark my blog and this post will be here for you!

If you're new to affiliate marketing, make certain that your affiliate can provide you with professional logos.

Giving Your Blog A Chance To Make Money

Incorporate Footer Ads

* These are one of the best ways to make the most out of every blog post you write

* If you're not using footer advertisements (ads located at the bottom of your blog), you're not giving yourself the best chance to make as much money as you could be making

A footer advertisement gives every post you write a shot at making you some money.

Pull in advertising $$ to support your blog:

* Advertisespace.com
* BuySellAds.com

You can get started with one of these companies for free, and you can get people to pay you for advertising space on your blog.

You can make $$ from your blog with the assumption that you already have a solid traffic ranking.

If you don't yet have a solid traffic ranking, you can write articles and submit them to ezine articles. It takes consistent publishing, but 10 solid articles can generate hundreds of potential inquiries viewing your site.

Create an Ebook or an Ecourse.

* Creating an Ebook or an Ecourse is one of the best ways to make money from your blog

This gives you a chance to build credibility by giving your subscribers valuable information they can use now.

* Once others know that you're a credible source, you'll get the chance to recommend one or more of your affiliate links to them, plus you'll add more people to your mailing list.
