- ARTICLES |
If you want to learn how to make money with a blog, you need to know how to create great blog content, how to generate traffic and how to persuade your visitor with a tantalizing offer. After reading this article you should be ready to take your blog to the next level.
Great content is at the core of every successful blog. Great content captivates and enriches the visitor making him stay long enough to listen to your offer. I know it's tempting to cut corners when it comes to the quality of your content. It's an area where you would like to save a bit of time, but trust me! That would be a very bad idea! You might persuade the reader to never come back!
Which brings me to the question of traffic!
Traffic is the lifeblood of any attempt to make money online. That goes for your blog as well. Poor content might chase your visitors away, but without a reliable source of traffic you won't have any visitors in the first place. There are many different sources of traffic you can specialize in, however, I do recommend that you specialize in just one source of traffic and learn to master that before moving on to the next.
Neither good content nor traffic will turn your blog into a traffic engine unless you give your visitor a reason to let go of his money. Generally speaking there are two ways to monetize your blog; affiliate offers or contextual ads. There are other ways to make money with your blog, but those are the big ones. You can use both methods at the same time, but if you decide to use affiliate offers most experts, and I agree, say that you shouldn't use contextual ads. The logic is that you don't want to tempt the reader to click anything that isn't related to the affiliate offer you are promoting.
The key elements to learning how to make money with your blog is content, traffic and having a good offer. Get these 3 basic elements right and you are well on your way to having a successful blog.
