Blogging is a great way to reach your audience, share your thoughts, and even help you with your Internet marketing. I’ve been blogging for almost 2 years simply because i enjoy communicating, sharing my ideas and developing my marketing internet skills. Starting a blog is easy to do and pays huge dividends.
There are various free services available that offer free blog services. Example of this are Blogger and WordPress which only require a simple registration and set up. Once you determine a theme and template for your blog, you’re ready to begin posting your entries.
Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Some bloggers provide commentaries or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images and links to other blogs, web pages and other media related to its topic.The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.
Knowing by heart of the steps below will increase your chances of becoming one of the leading bloggers in the industry.
1) Research & Sign up for a blog service: Find some of the leading blogs and websites, Blogger or WordPress for instance are a good start. Consider the goal of your blog and learn what topics are of interest to your target market. Which type of posts received a lot of comments? Which posts has a lot of links? Which posts grab your attention right away? Start small and be consistent.
2) Monetize your Blog: The internet today provides so many opportunities for ordinary people like you and me to make money from websites and blogs. The biggest monetization program for websites is Google Adsense. Simplicity works wonder, Adsense will put add in your blog that are relevant to the content on each of your blog pages.
Joining an affiliate program is a great option to monetize your blog. Amazon, Paperjam Network, Commission Junction are few example where you could become an affiliate associate. They have good number of advertisers many of which have exclusive offers. They give excellent commissions thus making you earn from them.
Another way to monetize is through pay per post. It's where content creators (bloggers) find advertisers whose willing to sponsor specific content. The advertisers create opportunities that describe the content they are looking for (feedback, reviews,buzz, video). The blogger then choose opportunities in their area of interest. Once the blogger has written a blog post or posted a video that matches a requirement, advertisers then reviews the post against its requirements and terms of service and handles payment.
3) Socialize, Build Relationship & Readership: Now that you have the content do the FUN PART! Start socializing, meeting people, building readership and really getting your name out there. Have fun, make friends, share informations and build readers in the process and you will be good to go.
One thing to keep in mind is that the success of you blog is to stay FOCUS, HARD WORK & ENJOY!
