Blogs are hot, very hot in fact. Everyday thousands of new blogs are born, and thousands of are blogging about their hobby and making money while they do it. Have you ever tried to make money from blogging?
Blogging is the best way to make money online. While it takes time for people to know your blog and love it, when it happens it’s a real deal. You write about what you love, and getting paid for it. Now, there are people who try to blog about things they don’t like just because they found a profitable market, and that’s NOT the way to succeed with your blog. Unless you are writing about something that you’re passionate about, you have no other way than failure.
So how do you start blogging for fun and profit? You are here to do what you love and make money from it right?
1. Find a profitable niche that you’re sure you can blog about for a long time. If you are getting excited from finding new things about that topic, reading the news about that niche, and talking to people about it than you have a winner. You can easily tell if your niche is profitable without going thru hell. Simply visit the clickbank marketplace and see if there are products with high gravity for that niche. If there is a high gravity than you are in a safe place. You know that people are buying products in your niche, and if you’ll write enough good content for your blog than people will come to read and of course buy products from you eventually.
2. When you have a niche in your mind, it’s time to buy a cool domain for your blog. Your domain name should contain the keywords of the niche you are going to target. If for example you decided to target a dog training product than your domain name should look like “http://www.DogtrainingCentral.com” or something similar to this. Choose a good domain because it will have a huge effect on your search engines rankings.
3. After you have a cool domain with the niche keyword built in it’s time to buy a hosting account to host your blog files. You can find lots of hosting companies by a simple search on Google. If you want to find the best packages available than you should read other people’s reviews which you can find on Internet marketing forums such as the Warriorforum or at digitalpoint. If you don’t know those forums yet than you have to visit them as fast as you can because there is a lot of useful information in them.
4. Get an FTP software to upload your files to your hosting account. You can download the free trial of SmartFTP which is by far the best FTP software on the market. I use it too. You can find the SmartFTP software by typing it name on Google.
5. Download Wordpress from wordpress.com and unpack the package. Now is the time to open your FTP software and upload the files to the server. If you know your login details for the hosting server than just fill them on the FTP software and connect. If you don’t know them than simply contact you hosting company and they will send them to you in no time. Good hosting companies usually answer question in less than 2 hours, so be patient and wait for their reply. When you have the details, simply drag the files of Wordpress into the server and BAM!, you made a magic!
6. Now is the time to install your Wordpress blog, type in your domain name into the address bar and you should see the installation instructions to follow. If you don’t see them I’ll be more than happy to help you out, so comment here under this post to get my help.
7. Now your blog is installed and ready for work. Be sure to keep your admin password in a safe place where no one can find it. Log into your account and make your first post. This should be a breeze because the Wordpress interface is as simple as it can be. Even a dumb can understand how to work with it.
8. Find a suitable theme for your blog. You can find a lot of professional themes at topwpthemes.com. Find a good theme that looks as professional as you can find, but it should fit your niche too. The installation of such a theme is really easy and all you have to do is to follow the readme file that you get with the theme.
9. Now that your blog looks good, it’s time to start working. If you want your blog to succeed than you should work a lot. There is no easy money online or offline. If you want to make money you should produce a lot of unique and fresh content and get backlinks to your website. If you want your blog to succeed on it’s first year than you should write at least 3 new articles/posts a day for a competitive niche, and 2 articles/posts per day for a less competitive niche.
10. Getting backlinks is the hardest thing in the whole process. Creating content depends on you, but backlinks is a decision that is made by others. If you want to create a lot of backlinks to your site than you should work hard on it. When you wake up in the morning, you should create 2-3 posts for your blog and schedule them to 3 times during the day. After you have your posts ready you can clear your time for getting backlinks to your site. Remember that you must have a lot of backlinks to your site if you want to be successful. Backlinks are not only driving traffic to your site, but also rank you better on the search engines results.
