2. Write opinions, reviews, or essays.
Hello Folks,
If you want to become a professional blogger, Follow These Steps...
Blogging is a fun
pastime to entertain and inform a large audience. If you’re feeling serious
about your blog or looking to make money by starting one, the market is easy to
access for you to step into. Make a commitment and start blogging today, and
you can see the rewards pay off!
1. Start Blogging
1. Become an expert on a topic you enjoy talking about.
A large
audience won’t want to hear about your day-to-day life, but they will read if
you are passionate about something. Use what you know well to your advantage to
create content that is interesting to a reader. Make sure what you’re writing about isn’t too niche. For example, if you
are interested in balloon twisting, make sure the audience of balloon-twisters
who will read your content is large enough. select one of them .....
2. Write opinions, reviews, or essays.
Each of these
styles will cater to a different audience when it comes time to post your blog.
Consider what category you fall into as a blogger, and stay consistent with
your style. Opinion blogs like Huffington Post attract many political readers. Reviews will help potential product buyers understand how you felt about
a product to help base their decisions. Essays can be stories or anecdotes that are relatable to an audience.
3. Pick a blogging website.
Websites like Wordpress or Blogger help provide
setups for a novice or an experienced blogger wanting to become professional.
These sites will give you tools and options, like editing metadata to help your
blog succeed.
Domains are usually around Rs.199 for a year of hosting through GoDaddy or Hover. Having your own domain name
will help you look more professional and will allow an easy link for your
audience to type in to access your posts. When deciding on a domain name, consider using your name or something
related to the topic you are talking about. When choosing a hosting service, make sure to evaluate their up-times
and the speed they provide. Many will have these statistics available from their
home page.
2. Maintain Posts
1. Write posts.
Consider your blog as a job you
need to upkeep every day. Audiences won’t want to wait months in between blog
posts, so provide them with new content daily to keep site traffic up and your
readers interested. It’s a smart idea to write
blog posts ahead of time and saves them as drafts to publish when you need them.
To help search engine optimization (SEO), try to use concise titles to explain what your post is
discussing. There’s a reason many articles start out “10 Things You Didn’t know about Foods”. Use keywords and phrases that are commonly typed in on search engines to
help visibility for your blog.
3. Include images in your posts.
Using
pictures related to your content will help break up large blocks of text and
also keep a reader intrigued in what you have to say. Include 2-3 images per
post if you can. Make sure to properly credit the image sources if they are not your own
photos.
4. Limit your posts to 2,500 words.
Readers want to get the most
out of their time, so try to use each word to its full advantage. 2,500 words
is a length that is manageable to read in one sitting and will seem filled with
more information than a blog post that only has 1,000 words.
5.Link to other bloggers to support your ideas.
Linking to
other blogs will help back up your views and provide more content for your
reader. Readers will expect to receive credible information in your posts and
will help you avoid plagiarizing other bloggers. Link back to older posts you’ve written to help prove your point and get
traffic moving on posts that may otherwise go on forgetting.
6. Promote your blog through social media.
Create a
presence for your blog through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to promote your
new content. Your goal is to build a large audience of readers, so use hashtags
with keywords related to your blog to help move it forward. Don’t worry about being an annoying presence to your friends as you do
this. Consider promoting your blog as building your business.
3. Earn on your content
1. Put Google AdSense on your site to run ads.
Adsense helps
place contextual ads on your blog page that helps you earn money when they
receive clicks. AdSense through Google requires an account and a sign-up, and
it can be added directly to your website from there. Google analyzes the content of your blog and will post related
advertisements for your readers. When starting a blog, consider having ads right when you start out. This
way, it won’t become a shock when ads appear on your blog later on.
2. Link affiliates to your website to earn money per click.
Recommend a
product on your blog that will earn you money when people sign up using the
affiliate link. You can sign up through many companies to set an affiliate
link, such as Amazon or Target that can help you earn revenue.
3. Consider finding a business to write blogs for.
If building
your own business through a personal blog isn’t right for you, search on job
boards like Indeed or Monster to find businesses looking for blogging services.
Many companies are looking for writers for their original content.
4. Know that it takes time to build an audience and revenue.
Earning money
on a blog is not an overnight process. Finding interested readers for your blog
may take some time, so be patient and continue writing. The more content that
you are able to crank out, the more eyes you may get on your blog. Continue working another job as you get your blog off the ground to help
you stay steady with your finances.
