So I have been thinking a bout blogging for the longest time. I know that there're a lot people who blog and make a living. With that said, how do they do it? Also, I really don't know the subject I want to blog about. Pretty much, I am thinking about just blogging random stuff base on art, entertainment, current affair, and religious.

Do you specifically need to find a niche to success?

How do you garner audience to your blog?

    Narrowing your topic will yield better results. I suggest you pick a niche and start writing.


    Find a domain name that is fits with your blog topic, get some hosting and install WordPress.

    Or you could get a free blog at wordpress.com to test the waters first. Blogging is a long hard road if you want to earn money.



    There is a big difference between making money and making a living at blogging.

    To monetize, yes - it's a big help to have a specifically targeted niche. Not a collection of niches, not a market, and not a collection of different markets.

    Be aware that blogging is not in itself a paid activity.

    The same ways you attract traffic to any website, really: you need a traffic-generation plan, of some kind. They're all discussed here, in a thread reserved for the purpose: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ffic-tips.html

    Hi Knight,

    There are different ways in which you would go about making money on your blog but I suggest that you decide on a specific niche that you will blog about and not go random.

    I say this as you want to build a relationship with your readers. You want when your readers visit your blog that they are interested in a specific thing, that way, when you are promoting a product you know your readers are interested.

    You need to place an optin box on your blog and set up an autoresponder so you can build a list and you will be able to market to them based on your niche.

    You can sign up for affiliate program in the niche your interested in and do reviews for specific products.

    You can create your own information product and sell on your blog...

    Saiah
