Using your blog to make some extra income is quite easy to do and over the course of this article in two parts I’m going to walk you through the steps involved. You should view this a creating some extra income for yourself as it’s quite unlikely you’ll get rich from blogging! Nevertheless if you can make an extra 20 bucks a week for doing nothing then why not?
In order to stand a realistic chance of making money we need out blog to be very specific in its topic so choose one subject and stick to it. This is because we need targeted traffic arriving to the site. If you have numerous interests then start a separate blog for each one.
A great subject for any blog is anything you know a lot about. This could be a hobby, past time, job, sport… something which you can write confidently about and won’t mind writing daily updates for.
I’ve used both Word Press and Blogger and to my mind Google’s blogger is the easiest option for a beginner to get up and running quickly. They literally take care of everything for you and within a couple of minutes your up and running. It also makes creating new blogs for other topics very fast as well.
For the name of your blog make sure you choose keywords which people would commonly type into Google to search for the topics your site is about. So for example if my blog was all about learning piano I would title my blog ‘learn to play piano’ or ‘piano for beginners’ or ‘easy piano lessons for beginners’. You may find you have to try lots of variations before you’ll get one which isn’t already taken.
With your blog up and titled there’s just one thing to do, write and write lots. Make sure your content is good and 100% original. Each day you’ll need to update your site with new content and I would do this for at least 2 weeks before going to the next step.
At this point we have a blog and a history of good quality content being added every day. Now it’s time to let Google know your blog exists and generate some traffic. If you wait for Google to simply find you in one of its deep crawls you could be waiting forever, it’s far better to write some articles on your blog topic and submit them with backlinks to your blog on ezinearticles or goarticles. That’s by far the quickest way to get on Google’s radar.
