Some individuals just want to share their stories, their life happenings, their photos…whatever they are getting up to in their lives.

Some want a way of expressing their feelings and opinions on certain subjects.

Some want to show they offer a service…maybe a photography service, a hypnotherapy experience, a house decoration service or a personal makeover…that sort of thing. They want to show the world what they offer and simply add a telephone number or email for contacts.

Others add products on top of their service. For instance, an e-book on improving your photography skills.

And then, of course, you might just want to sell your own products and not a service. You may be a retired electrician and with all that vast knowledge you have created a number of e-books, audios or videos. A blog is an ideal way to sell them.

Then there are blogs that just sell other peoples products as an affiliate. The visitor to the site becomes a customer and clicks on a ‘sales banner’ which is actually selling another persons goods. As a result, you receive a percentage of the sale. Normally anything between 10 and 100%.

These different types of blogs are the main types of blogs found on the Internet.

So, do you know to make a blog?

Are you intending to make money blogging?

Will you succeed?

That is a really difficult question to answer because there are so many factors involved.

Let me re-phrase the question:

Can you make money blogging?

Yes, definitely.

So, how?

There are many factors that determine your success but these three are crucial.

Number 1.

Find a product or service that sells on the internet.

Not everything sells on the Internet.

There can be so much ‘free’ information on a particular subject, there is no need to buy an actual product and therefore individuals don’t.

So factor number one – you must have a product or service that sells on the Internet.

Number 2.

Copywriting. The ‘sales’ words you use on you blog to convert a visitor into a buyer.

You may have a product that everyone wants but unless you convince the person to buy it, you won’t sell any.

Number 3.

The third factor – Traffic

You may have the best selling product, the best sales page…but if no one sees it or knows about it, again you won’t sell anything.

Therefore, you have to “Market” your blog so others see it.

So how do you get your website noticed?

Make sure you use the most appropriate keywords when you build your website.

Submit your site to SEO friendly directories.

Submit your blog RSS feeds to the RSS aggregators.

Comment on other blogs (which are in the same market as yours) and ensure you add a link back to your site.

Write articles and add them to the main article directories. There are several excellent tools that help automate the submission to the Article Directories.

Regularly write new material for your blog and again ensure you use the correct keywords.
Socially bookmark your blog posts and articles.

Now, all of this doesn’t happen overnight and does need investment in time and sometimes money.

Do NOT expect to become rich within your first few months. Don’t think “I’ll knock up a blog and the money will just roll in. I’ll then just work 2 hours day”.

It will not happen.

You may have seen numerous Internet Marketing web pages saying ‘Become rich beyond your wildest dreams and it takes 1 hour per day…blah…blah…blah”

You’ve seen the adverts I am referring to. They normally have some fancy ‘money related’ titles like:

“Have Your Own Cash Machine – Secrets You Can Use That Will Make You Rich…Working Just 2 Hours Per Day… Guaranteed. (These Are The Secrets Google Use Themselves And Don’t Want You To Know!)”

Or something similar…you’ve seen them.

Some of them are excellent (some rubbish, so be careful what you buy) but they only cover creating a product…or copywriting…or Generating Traffic…or How To Use Pay Per Click…or…

There is not one course I have seen that covers all areas and to make money on the Internet you need products that sell, copywriting skills and Marketing skills and…

So before you even start your blogging business be prepared to learn, be prepared to work hard, be prepared to make mistakes, be prepared to come up against obstacles and have the right mindset.
