Why Blogging Is The Easiest Way To Make Money Online!

In the few minutes it takes you to read this article, hundreds of new blogs will be created and thousands, upon thousands of posts will have been made, world wide.

The information age we live in, has allowed everyone, from the local teenager to large corporations to jump on to the blogging wagon.

The lure of being able to have a blog installed in under 15 minutes, the incredibly low start-up costs, and the ability to post to that blog from any computer with internet access, has provided many people and corporations with an immediate web presence.

Stories are common place about full time bloggers earning over $100,000 a year while blogging for less than 2 hours a day. And they usually do this while traveling the world!

The most popular blog type for the newbie is one that documents their everyday lives, ramblings and opinions. They use it as a way to express themselves.

Each new blog post generates content which the search engines absolutely love. The conversational and informal nature of blogs usually provides great reading. Readers have the option to easily comment on the posts, providing feedback and their opinions.

Blogs become interactive and service the needs of writers and readers. Video and audio can now easily be inserted on blogs, providing a different experience for all its readers.

All blogs can be monetized with advertising, selling affiliate products or selling your own products. A blog with a great readership will attract high paying advertisers often paying for 6 months advertising in advance.

However, similar to any small business, the abandonment rate of blogs is incredibly high. Bloggers often enjoy the initial novelty of blogging, but if they started blogging to make some extra income, the novelty will wear off quickly if the results don't look promising.

Here are 3 secrets which virtually guarantee success for any blogger:


The First Secret:

A blog must be tightly themed around a niche, with posts that provide benefits for its readers.

If your blog posts do not provide significant value for your readers, they will not return to read any other posts. Remember blogs make money from its readers, so your content must keep them coming back.

Don't make the common mistake of blogging about anything and everything. If someone is reading your gardening blog, they have an interest in gardening. If you start blogging about the new car you just bought, you may lose that reader. They want to read about gardening, not cars.

Your readers are reading your posts with a "what's in it for me" mindset and if its not satisfied they will go somewhere else to find it.

Your blog is similar to an online magazine in many ways, just more informal and updated regularly.


The Second Secret:

Your blog must load fast, look the part and be easy to navigate. When your new readers arrive they should know within 5 seconds which niche you are targeting.

First impressions are everything!

It is very easy to use the default template in any blogging platform, but it will do nothing for your reader's experience. Look around at the successful blogs and you will find customized themes designed to suit their niche.

Customized themes will cost you less than $100, but this is money very well spent, as it will improve your readers experience ten-fold. And make sure you check your blog in various browsers not just Internet Explorer. A blog that looks fantastic in Internet Explorer could look terrible in other browsers.


The Third Secret:

Continuously generate targeted traffic to your blog. A great looking blog with quality content is not worth anything to anyone without consistent and targeted traffic to it.

You need to continuously promote your blog to attract visitors.

With its incredible speed, power and coverage, the internet can distribute a blog post around the world in seconds. A good looking blog fulfilling the needs, wants and desires of its readers can quickly become an authority site, in its niche, providing the owner with a very healthy income.

Yaro Starak Lives The Bloggers Dream... Or Does He?

With an average income of $10,000 per month, working 3 to 4 hours a day, traveling around the world while working... Does Yaro Starak live a bloggers dream?

Lets look at it... say Yaro works 4 hours a day, 350 days a year (got to have some days doing nothing) thats 1,400 hours a year to earn $120,000 ($10,000 x 12) which works out to $85.71 per hour.

That's worst case scenario, because Yaro probably works less hours over the year and his income will be growing as he tweaks his blog. More posts means more exposure to product, more people on his list, more sales, etc.

Also remember, Yaro earns recurring income from people who have joined subscription sites through his affiliate link. So by doing nothing he still earns this income... very nice income!

Yaro's hours are flexible, he can work anywhere in the world (as long as he has an internet connection), he has no-one telling him what to do and he is doing something that he is passionate about... you just need to read his blog posts to feel that.

Granted he's taken 3 years to get to this level of income, and like most of us, started part time until the momentum kicked in... but this gives all newbies hope! And now the time frame can be drastically shortened.

There is so much training online now like Yaro's coaching or the Blog Classroom that what Yaro took 3 years to achieve, others are achieving in half the time or less.

Yaro Starak has got blogging down to a fine art. His blog is clean, crisp and easy to read. He absolutely rocks as a blogger and the best part is that he's a fellow Ozzie... only he lives on the wrong side! :)

He misses all the magical sunsets we get to experience in Western Australia... oh well I guess he can't have everything!

For anyone wanting to start making some money online, blogging is without a doubt the easiest, cheapest and quickest way to go. Within 15 minutes you could have a presence on the web and begin posting in your own voice.

Yaro Starak offers a free report "Blog Profits Blueprint" which is an awesome read and will give you a great idea about blogging and get you started, so you too can live your blogging dream...

Rosalind Gardner And The Blog Classroom Neglect The Blogger Blogs

Image via Wikipedia

Rosalind Gardner and Anik Singal have done Wordpress proud.

For years I've been persisting with my blogger blogs... thinking "it's owned by Google, so from an SEO stand point its gotta be a good thing!"

Well Rosalind and Anik have done a superb job with the free content they are providing at Blog Classroom and I'm convinced that Wordpress is the way to go. The plugins, the customization, the flexibility and the look of Wordpress blogs make it an absolute no-brainer way to go.

So what to do with my blogger blogs? Is there a way to convert them or maybe just set them up in a new directory with the last blogger post saying "Click here for our new blog."

I can't wait to see the product Rosalind and Anik release on the 29th April. I bet it's a ripper! Rosalind Gardner always produces great products as seen with the "Super Affiliate Handbook." This is a very comprehensive ebook that will help any newbie make affiliate sales in a short time.

The Blog Classroom is going to be a crowd pleaser... another great education is watching their product launch and all their rabid fans commenting to their hearts content... its a wonderful sight!
