How To Make Money Blogging In 3 Easy Steps

Blogging is the easiest way to make money online these days. And the really good thing about blogging is that it doesn't cost you any money. So follow these simple techniques and get started today.

What is exactly is Blogging

Blog is a web log. Its where you can post articles or posts so others can read it. It's a bit different from a web site, because blog should provide interested content plus you should inject your personality into it. There was a research done on this topic and results where shocking. Some blogs have higher readership than major newspapers online. Why? Because bloggers write posts that reflect their opinions about some topic. So blogs are written in more personal style.

So remember bogs are user generated content. If you write article/post your readers can read it and that write a comment on that article. So if you are writing about making money online and someone writes a comment asking you something, go ahead and answer their question. Give them solution to their problems. So now when you know what blogs are lets have a look on how you can make money blogging.

1. Write Unique Articles
Now if you don't know what to write about here is a little cheat that will get you started. You don't have to come up with your own content. Most popular technique is to buy PLR (Private Label Right) articles and than you need to rewrite them so they are interesting. Because remember you want your blog readers to come back later. But to do this you need to provide fresh content. And you need to update your blog regularly. Blogs are easily indexed by search engines so make sure you also optimise your articles. Include keywords in your article several times, but don't over do it.

In your articles always include affiliate links to products, but make sure you are promoting products that reflect nature of your article. Example-if you write about making money online don't include links to products about gardening. I mean this is quite obvious, but believe or not, some people do this mistake.

2. Get Rich Writing Product Reviews

Now how about this. All you do is to write product reviews. Maybe you are asking how can I write product review if I don't know the product. All you do is you read sales letter of product and than extract benefits from that sales letter and write article about these benefits in your own words. Make sure you include a link to the product in your article.

3. Plug In Advertising Programs

You see now you already know two ways to make money blogging. But wait You are about to discover third one.Simplest way to make money blogging is to include advertising in your blog so when someone clicks on the ads you get paid.One of the most common form of this advertising is google AdSense. So how does it work? You need to first optimise your articles, which means that you need to include keywords, because if you don't you'll get irrelevant ads displayed on your blog. So for example, if your blog is about making money online and you don't include keywords in your article or post, you may get ads about restaurants. This is not going to make you any money, because people do not look for info about restaurants. They want to know how to make money.

When you get enough stable traffic on your web site you can than display banner ads of other people who will pay you for this. Depending on your traffic volumes you can chagre, I don't know, $500/month.So you how easy is to make money blogging these days. So get started now because sooner than you think you'll be making nice income from home. Another thing. Once you understand these simple techniques you can than duplicate them. You can create another blog and another one...Before you know it you have multiple streams of income.
