How To Turn Blogging Into A Viable Home Business Income Opportunity
While blogs present a tremendous way to make money online, most people are complaining of not making it through this platform. In this piece, I will focus on how to turn your blog into a home business income opportunity.
Several years ago blogs were seen more as a vehicle to express one's thoughts on a particular topic. They used to be referred to as weblogs. Blogs where seen as an online diary.
Today blog have moved from being an online diary to a business as you can monetize your blog and make money from it fairly easily.
The following therefore are a few things to keep in mind when setting up a blog as a home business income vehicle.
1. Blog Platform: There are many different blogging platforms available that you can choose from. Many hosting companies have them incorporated into their back office which you can easily create a folder and upload into. The key point here is that you are better off to host your own blog than to use a free blogging platforms such as Blogger.
2. Invest Few Dollars: It is worth investing a few dollars to have somebody do this for you if you're not sure how to do it. One thing you certainly want to include is social bookmarking plug-ins which is an important way of marketing your blog.
3. Personalized Theme: You want to stay on the theme of your blog when you write articles. For example if you have a blog about webdesign, you do not want to be putting articles in it about downloading music. The reason for this is you are writing articles to please your reader as well bait search engines. So you must be focused on your niche that you want to pass across to your readers.
4. Incorporating Adsense: Monetizing a blog is very easy to do by incorporating Google Adsense into it and joining affiliate programs and placing banners where they can be seen. As an affiliate whenever somebody buys a product from a website that they come to from your banner you earn a commission. There a big market here. Do not depen only on adsense.
5. Optimize Your Articles: Learning how to optimize an article for search engines is an important trick to learn. Since this is a business, you must learn this very seriously. There is difference between Internet Marketing and Internet Business. It is actually very easy and you want to target specific keywords in the title, and in the introduction and closing paragraphs. The rest of your article should be written naturally and really only needs to be 250 to 300 words to be effective.
6. Add Plug-ins: Be sure and bookmark your post to the top directories which should be included in a plug-in that is installed on the bottom of each post.
7. You Can Grow Your Blog And Flip It For Big Cash: Building your blog with great content and having very relevant and high traffic with give you high monetization value. Blogs are built and sold for profits. If you take your blogging business religiously and put in all your best, you can flip it or sell it in no time to buyers in the market place for four to five figure profits.
