Make Money Blogging Beginners Tips
The Following are the 5 key Tips I have found to be the most important when I was looking at how to start writing a Blog for money. If you adopt the same principles and process then you will be fine and, on your way, to creating your first, of many, blogs and articles
1. Mindset
This is the most important tip. Making Money from a Blog requires a mindset shift in your thinking and approach to the art. Basically, you need to think of your creation of Blogs and Articles as a Business (not a hobby)
As such, just like any other business you need a plan of what you want to achieve (your business goals) how you are going to achieve it, and the timelines for doing so. You need a Direction and Goal for your Blogging Business
The challenge often for people blogging is that the process is relatively Free to start writing Articles Online with minimal investment required. This is the challenge. If you imagine that you had invested $100,000 in your blogging business, would you take it more seriously than if you had started for free?
Trust me on this one, if you shift your mindset, you will become successful.
2. Consistency
You need to be consistent in your article and blog writing. This is key as your readers will want regular output from you, otherwise you will lose them. This is so important, especially in the early days as you build your presence online in your blog subject.
Whatever time you have each week to devote to your blog business, stick to it. If you are writing one article a week, then be consistent in doing so. Linking to point 1 above treat your consistency like you would have to in any other business or venture.
A question; ‘Would You, Employ You?’
3. What do You Write about in a Blog
When looking for ideas to write about in a blog the easiest subjects to choose are subjects that you are interested in and passionate about. What Interests you? What articles do you like to read?
As an exercise to get started jot down 5 areas that you have an interest or expertise in. Circle 3 of the most exciting to you and under each one brainstorm half a dozen key points about each. You are now on your way to building the structure of your first blogs and articles.
This will be your start point, not just for now, but in every article you write. However, if you are struggling with a list or content ideas I have put the following subjects (in no particular order) together to get you thinking. What could you write a short article about on:
Lifestyle
Home
Family
Finance
Crafts
DIY
Small business
Outdoor activities
Fitness and health
Food
Inspiration and advice
Animals
Travel
Games
Relationships
School
To earn money from blogging, your blog and writing can be about anything or everything. It’s entirely up to you. As long as you are passionate about the subject and write as ‘You’ That’s what readers want.
4. Be Yourself in Your Article and Blog writing
Your readership will grow to love what you write about, and importantly how you write it. Be Yourself. Build on your own experiences. Add the personal touch. Your audience will grow if you do this.
People are very good at identifying fake, insincere, or drab articles and blogs. Also, a word on AI (artificial intelligence) here. AI is revolutionising the world we live in. AI can be a good thing and can help with the creation of blogs and articles. But, and it is a Big But, Search Engines (GOOGLE, BING, DUCK DUCK etc) and Social media Algorithms are very good at sniffing out solely created AI blog content. As such they (The Search Engines) will penalise the writer by either low ranking, or not ranking at all, the content on a user’s search enquiry.
Your job with your writing, especially in the early days is to be YOU! Write uniquely in your own style and aim for your content to be what is called: E E A T
E E A T stands for: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness
In other words, write your blog demonstrating
- Experience: Show that your content is created by people with direct, first-hand experience with the topic. Look at the ideas section above, where I ask, ‘What are subject you expert or have experience in?’ Reference personal experiences within the content itself. Is it Travel? If so, then consider articles on trips experienced. The World really is your Oyster
- Expertise: Show your subject matter expertise in the depth and accuracy of your content and author credentials and if appropriate and you can, cite reputable sources and studies.
- Authoritativeness: Build your brand’s authority (this is you, you are your Brand until you create a name for your business) by consistently (that word Consistent again) publishing high-quality content, earning coverage and mentions from other respected sites, and growing your reputation within your industry.
- Trustworthiness: Be transparent about You. Include a small bio, in your article at the end if necessary and even link it in your writing to the Experience point. Develop and nurture a positive reputation, and follow ethical content practices.
So, with all that in mind, your next exercise will be to actually write an article, based on a subject that you have chosen. Don’t worry at this stage as to how you go about publishing your article online, or setting up websites and/or Blog Platforms. That can all come later.
What you are going to do, is write your article, in a draft form and save it as you go on to a simple Word Document in your computer or Google Drive or Cloud Storage option you have.. Again, don’t worry about pictures or images at this stage, you just want the words and text of your blog Article.
