Starting Your Blog: Part One
It’s not uncommon now to hear about people quitting their secure full time jobs to blog full time. With 30 million blogs on the Internet, it’s a fad that is catching on quickly. If you’re in it only for the money, you probably won’t be able to quit your job, but if you work hard enough, you might be able to pay the lease on your car.
In this series I will step through the basics of setting up, maintaining, and drawing traffic to your blog. This blog has been public and online for 11 days and has received 69,010 unique visitors at the time of this article and I’ll explain how I did it.
Lesson One: Nobody wants to know what you ate today, who you have a crush on, or what movies you think totally suck.
You want to make money right? In the Adsense game, traffic = money. Unless you are blogging about your experiences being the head of a large corporation, no one will visit your site. Think of something unique to write about — find the niche your blog will fill. This blog for example, is specifically about making money online. Find something you’re good at, or know a lot about and write about that.
Once you have found the topic of your blog, sit down and think for a couple of hours about potential articles for your site. Remember, what makes blogs different and interesting is the fact that they are always fresh with new ideas and content. To have any hope for success you’ll have to have two or three new articles a week. Can you sustain a constant flow of new articles on this topic, or is there only so much you can think of?
Before anything else, do yourself a favor and follow these steps. Laying the proper foundation is the start to any successful venture
