Write Your Own Blog

Do you write a blog? Great. Then you know that blogging involves writing (articles on demand), and the more writing you do, the more you will make money blogging. Let’s look at five tips to help you to become an expert blogger when you write your own blog.

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 you won’t have an income without traffic. Content is the key.

However, there are many ways you can create content.

My favorite, rather than writing, is to speak. I use a speech recognition programme on both my PC and my Mac , 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 critical. I teach bloggers, and the first habit I encourage them to develop is the habit of planning everything they do. Planning your content is vital, because some days you just don’t feel like writing.

Your plan gets you blogging, on these days because you know exactly what you’re writing about on any given day.

Creating a series is one of my favorite tactics. Once you’ve planned a series of posts on a particular topic, writing the series is easy.

A series can be around 3 to 10 posts in length . Here’s an idea: create a “30 days” series – this gives you 30 blog posts to plan in advance.You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can write the series, once you’ve done the planning.

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 initial year, I advise that you hive off some of your blogs 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 your 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. Increase Traffic : to make a lot of money you need a lot of readers.

Finally, as important as writing and content creation in general is, nothing beats marketing your blog. You need to market your blog and get back links, to get more traffic. So do it, every day – it’s not optional, you MUST market your blog.

You now have 5 tips to help make blogging easier – use them and make money.

What is Blogging

The resolve to the question what is blogging, will be determined to a large degree on how you want to define blogging.

If the interaction on social networking sites like MySpace is considered as true blogging, the internet users would be in the millions who qualify as social bloggers, and you can answer the question, “Yes, blogging is for everyone.” MySpace alone claims over seventy million users in the United States .

But if we were to define blogging from a commercial standpoint, then blogging is clearly not for everyone, and it might not even be for you. Less than eight percent of all those who access the Internet are commercial bloggers.

While blogging for certain has an entrepreneurial appeal, and those individuals who have modest offline businesses or online websites frequently use blogs as promotional tools that are inexpensive , but that is not to imply that the benefits of having a blog are for all entrepreneurs.

If communication between a specific group of people is required, there are cases in which a private Internet forum will work better than a public blog.

In other cases, a website, once built, will demand less attention than a blog, and may be a better Traffic Generator. Many blog owners sooner or later find themselves short on the time needed to keep their blogs promoted and updated.

In spite of all the probable negatives, there are many, many reasons why blogging might be for everyone or for you. One of the most obvious is that constructing a blog is simplicity itself, whereas building a website Requires a real understanding of HTML coding and can take weeks or even months.

To start your own blog all you need is to get a Blogger.com or WordPress account, choose your topic, and use the interface to begin your posting. You don’t need to use a template and you don’t need to find a host ,nor understand how to upload your pages of your website to it.

Is blogging for you or for everyone?

It certainly is not for everyone, as in the instance of blogging commercially, which is reserved for those who write a blog to promote their businesses and to make money blogging. But blogging could very well be for you, if you do have a business and want an inexpensive way to get it noticed.

It’s quick and easy and blogging is certainly inexpensive to get started.
