best reasons/ benefits of blogging

this is a question beginner bloggers usually ask. i know blogging is a great means for self-expression and you also get to interact with like- minded and smart and interesting people from all over the globe. but how can i earn and make a career out of blogging?

 

I think the main factors are good research, patience, and realistic expectations.
For example someone starts a blog about labrador retrievers, does research on keywords, picks the main keyword for title, fixes structure of the blog, starts posting with using secondary keywords maybe three times per week. First month is spent on just content no expectations on traffic, second month posting plus link building with forum postings, article postings, guest blogging, after four months add adsense. you might see traffic coming in at this point, google may have indexed most of your posts, after six months you continue posting, link building, adsense and now add affiliate products.

So depending on how competitive your keywords are and how consistent and how much effort you dedicate to your blog, you will see profits coming in maybe on your second year. I thin the problem that most run into is false expectations of making money quick.

On my case I will retire from the military in seven years so my goal is seven years to have exposure on the web.

Good luck

 

First you should have great knowledge about each field than you can make your blogs and on other topic as well but these blog should be very unique and very interesting, than after great traffic at your blog you can easily get adds from adsense and you can easily make lots of money.

 

It's simple really. Pick a topic you are passionate about. Create unique and compelling content.

People devote years of their lives to finding a way around these simple rules. The tragedy is that if they devaoted the same energy into finding their passion, they could easily be making money.

 

In blogging, it can help improve your writing skills as well as your creativity. But you have to choose a niche that you are very much passionate. It's necessary that you have a strong interest on the topic you want to blog to make your blog excellent.

 

Thanks, these are really helpful tips and ideas. Makes me more excited about my blog

 

Yeah, Blogging can be a fantastic way for earning but getting money you will have to do work on its content, traffic, visitor or fans and rank as well then it will be source of income for you. Once blog got good ranking then you can put link another site as a back link and keep advertisement for branding and promotion.

 

Hmmm I see! thanks

 

If you are talking about earning I have some great idea.Just set up a blog,post lots of unique content,do some seo work,now go for paid blogging options with different paid blogging sites,join adsense and place ads,join affiliate program and promote it from your blog.Now make lots of profit from blogging without any major investment.

 

Hey, there are lots of ways to earn money from your blog but to start you need to build traffic and repeat visitors. Then you can sell ad space, sell links, join pay per post sites, make an opt in to build a list and of course affiliate products or all. But first build traffic

 

I started to keep myself busy by writing, and to document different things I do. However, I do not make money.

 

i blog because i need an outlet, if it makes money great! if not, that's ok

 

Blogging is a great way to earn some money online.....but one cannot totally depend on blogging to make a living...Its not so easy..But there are people who make a living by blogging
