If you’ve been involved with blogging for very long, there are two things you’ve heard. One is that content is king and the other is that offering real value to your readers is vital. These things are necessary to make money, but they’re not enough in themselves. One of the big blog income secrets is that content and value aren’t enough. That may sound like a contradiction, but don’t worry. It really isn’t. Please let me explain.
In addition to great content and value, the top blogs, the ones that make money, have several other key characteristics that set them apart from lesser blogs. The most important of these is that they have traffic. In other words, thousands of people a day read their blogs.
No matter how good your content is, no matter how valuable your visitors find your content, if you only have a trickle of visitors, you blog income is going to be at best very small. Word is that there are over 100 million blogs on the Internet right now. If you’re writing about a popular topic (and you should be), you’ll have competition. You’ll probably find tens, if not hundreds of blogs covering the same topic. So just getting visitors to your blog can be a challenge.
If you’ve got a lot of loyal readers, you’re almost there. One major step remains. Getting your blog to generate money (known as monetizing your blog) is the next big challenge. Just because you have visitors it doesn’t mean you’re going to make money. You need a solid plan for how you’re going to make money if your blogging is going to pay off.
Clearly, giving your readers valuable content isn’t enough in itself to make money. Two more things are necessary. One is getting visitors, lots of visitors to your blog. The other is getting them to spend money. You’ll need to master both of these if you really want to profit from your blogging.
