For years now thousands of people have been making a ton of money from blogging and I’m sure that many of you are wondering how they are doing it. In this blog post I am going to show you how to make money blogging along with sharing with you some of the tools I have used to be successful.
To be quite honest with everyone there is no secret to it and it doesn’t matter who you are or how educated you are. I know for a fact that anyone can do this and I am going to give you a blueprint for your own success. In just 3 easy to follow steps you can be ready to start blogging and making money online.
Step 1 having the right tools to be an awesome blogger
In any business no matter what kind of business it is you are going to need the right tools in order to be successful. Am I right?
The first thing you are going to need is obviously a website or a blog of some kind. Now days you can get some pretty awesome looking websites for FREE from siterubix.com and have them up in running in just 3 clicks.
Building a website has changed so much in the past few years and it is so easy to have a website live on the internet with no need to know anything about coding or HTML.
Do you have an idea of what you would like to start blogging about?
You can get started right now for FREE and these websites also gives you access to Wealthy Affiliate. A online community that will train you on how to start blogging and show you the right way to do it.
Get your blog started right now by searching for your FREE website and entering it below.
The second thing you are going to need is an up to date and accurate keyword research tool. Jaaxy is the keyword tool that I have been using for over a year now. It’s Free to get started and it has always gave me up to the minute updated results and accurate search data.
If you don’t have a keyword tool that offers you accurate search data then you won’t know what keywords to target when you start up your blog. As a result of this you will get little to no rankings in the search engines.
Step 2 getting properly trained on how to blog and how to make money from it
Now I know that many of you might be saying I’m a terrible writer and my English and grammar skills are horrible. Can I still do this and be successful at it? My answer is yes! It doesn’t matter how poor your writing or grammar is you can still do this. When I first started doing this my writing and grammar was horrible. I didn’t let that stop me from doing this and you shouldn’t either.
The training
The place that has trained me on how to be a better writer and showed me how to make money is Wealthy Affiliate.
Once you join you will be trained on a variety of different things which I will list below (Don’t worry it’s Free to get started)
- How to setup your first website
- How to properly do keyword research
- How to write your first blog
- How to master the art of SEO, what it is and why you need to learn about it
- How to get traffic to your website
- How to make money from your blog
There are plenty of other things you will learn. I haven’t even scratched the surface here as to how in depth the training is.
So by now you are probably wondering how am I going to make money from this? I am going to get into that right now and show you how easy it is to start making money and be very good at it.
How to make money
Whenever you start up a website you obviously need to have something to talk about, or have a product in mind that you are passionate about right? That’s where affiliate programs come into play at and I am going to show you how to find these and join them for FREE.
Whatever you are passionate about there is a affiliate program for this. I am going to give you an example of what I am talking about so that you can get a clearer picture of how this works.
Let’s say that you are extremely passionate about big screen TV’s and you want to start a blog about this and talk about all the different TV’s out there.
Here is what you would do
Follow the directions from step 1 by entering a name for your website into the search bar that I have provided you with above. You could see if bigscreentvs.com is available and then go from there. Once you get your domain name and get it setup you need to login to your site and start adding some content to it.
Before you can add content you need to do some keyword research in order for you to tell which keywords are getting traffic. If you don’t have traffic you won’t be making any money because nobody will know that your website exists. Get your Free account at Jaaxy and start doing some research on which keywords are going to perform the best.
Now comes the fun part writing the content!
You are going to be writing articles about products or services online. In our case we will be writing about all the different big screen TV’s out there, and recommending the ones that you feel are the best. You can join any affiliate program who sells these TV’s online. This includes Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart or Target. To find these affiliate programs you can simply go to their website and at the bottom you will see a link that says affiliate program.
Click on the link and sign up!(Don’t worry it’s Free)
it might take a day or two for some of them to approve you but some affiliate programs will approve you right away. You will be given something called an affiliate link and this is the link that will pay you anytime someone clicks on it and buys something through your link.
I explain how all this works and show you how to get started in affiliate marketing here.
Step 3 having help and support whenever you need it
Whenever you start something new you are likely going to have lots of questions and need some help getting started. Imagine this, having thousands of experts who are already making money that would love to help you out.
I help people on a daily basis learn how to make money online and I would love to help you do the same thing. Like I have mentioned above not only will you get help from me but there are thousands of other people who would love to help you out and answer any questions you might have.
This is my profile at Wealthy Affiliate where I am always helping people on a daily basis. No question will ever go unanswered and I am always trying to help people out as much as I can. i would love it if you would drop by and say hi sometime.
Got questions about how you can start making money from blogging?
I would love to hear any questions you have and help you get a successful online business up and running from blogging. Hit me up anytime you have questions or need a hand with this and I would love to help you out. I usually get back to people within 24 hours but sometimes it is less then that.
