Are you one of those friends out there who have been operating a blog or website for months or years now without making a dime from it? Or are you making some money from it but what you make is peanuts compared to what you have invested in this blog resources wise?
If your answer to any or both of these questions is yes, then today is one of those days called “your lucky day”.
The fact that you are reading this article already suggests to me that you own a blog or a website and so I will not concern myself about telling you how to go about getting a blog or website set up.
As unbelievable as it sounds, it is a fact that many people out there think it is enough to just put up a blog, links to a few hot selling products and voila! Money is expected to start pouring into one’s bank account.
Experience has however shown otherwise.
Making money online is not space science but it is also not a child’s play.
No matter how beautifully designed your blog is and how many hot selling products you place on it, you still will not make money unless you do some necessary things alongside. You should know that there are many of your competitors out there who do more than publish a beautiful blog and load it with links to money-spinning products and these are the ones who have been making most of the money in the market.
What are the things you need to do in order to monetize your blog?
I will discuss them in the following steps.
Step 1: Choosing the right product:
The fact that some products are reported to be selling like hot cakes in some sites does not necessary mean that they will sell on your own blog. This is because people who visit your blog are a people that can be categorized according to the type of blog you publish. If you have a blog that concentrates on payment solutions for example, very few if any, people will come there looking for a solution to asthma problem.
The products you advertise on your blog should be closely related to the blog’s theme.
If you think that’s all to it, you cannot be more wrong!
Have you checked the landing page of the product you are advertising so as to ensure that it is attractive, effective and fast-loading enough to keep your prospective customers there long enough to possibly decide to buy the product?
No customer pay his or her hard-earned money on a product with a badly setup landing page.
Step 2: Create real useful content for your blog:
A beautiful blog without quality content is an empty blog. If your blog is about hair-loss for example, you need to get very useful information on this topic to present to your esteemed visitors and prospects. The materials can be in form of articles, audios, videos, book reviews and so on. You need to make your blog attractive by regularly infusing new content. It is important for people who come to your blog to always have something fresh and new from your blog on each visit.
If you cannot create content yourself, you are free to hire people to do it for you. All you need do is to visit sites like www.getacoder.com and you will get your problem solved. Of course, there are other websites out there that offer this sort of service but for the purpose of this article, I will limit myself to the one mentioned above.
