How To Start Blogging
Did you know that people make money with their personal blogs? Blogs can be personal online journals, sources for news and entertainment, or as many businesses have found out, a marketing tool. If you’re serious about blogging for an audience, you don’t have to be Shakespeare, but you do have to have something relevant to say.
Unlike Wikipedia, blogs can focus on people’s opinions and perspectives. Blogs can be more conversational and subjective, rather than 100% fact-based, allowing writers and readers to share their perspectives.
Blogging spectrum
The ability to share ideas and to actively collaborate allows people to come to reasonable conclusions when hard facts are unavailable or sometimes unattainable. Sharing ideas with others around the world has never been so easy. A good blog engages the reader and encourages them to think and respond with their own ideas.
Blogging Tip #1: Write about things you know about and enjoy. Blogs are easy to start. WordPress is one of the best online publishing systems for blogging. It is free to sign up for an account and publishing articles is as easy as sending email. Initial setup takes less than 10 minutes. There are paid versions of WordPress that are useful for marketing, but we will talk about that in an upcoming issue.
Blogging Tip #2: You can monetize your blog! The secret is having a large enough audience and the only way to do that is to have good content. Monetizing a blog can be done in many ways. Paid advertisements can earn you money when they’re clicked. You could sell products or services, become known as an expert in your “field” and thus influencing people to purchase from affiliates, directing traffic to your main website which sells products or services just to name a few. We will go into the details of each method in our future newsletters.
To sum it up: if you create a blog that people find useful and fun, have an audience, write about topics related to your product or service, have a good product or service, then your blog can be monetized.
