Surprisingly, no.  Most of the so called ‘secrets’ of blogging are little more than common sense, dedication, and a bit of luck.  But, there are some things to keep in mind if you want a successful blog.  Here are four ‘write’ things to do for your profitable blog!

1.  Write Lots.  Updating your blog regularly is extremely important.  It will keep your readers interested and keep the search engines happy and ranking you high so that you get even more readers. If you can’t manage to write a new entry daily, at least manage to do it weekly; regularity is a key to a successful blog.

2.  Write relevant content.  Whatever you decide to write on, make sure that it is rich with keywords and phrases, is relevant, and is interesting to readers.   Keyword rich content will be more easily ranked by search engines and you’ll capture the attention of more interested readers who may then click on your advertising links.

3.  Write on free blogs first.  Test the waters of your blog by using a free blogging platform such as Livejournal, blogger or WordPress.com.  This will let you write your blog without worrying about paying for domain names, hosting or learning how to do website work and you can see how popular your blog is.  Then, when your blog gathers up plenty of readers and you’re on a regular rhythm of updates, you can move everything over to your own website where you can start doing more vigorous affiliate marketing or sell your own things.

4.  Write what you love.  One of the most important things that is often overlooked: write what you love.  If you are writing about things that seem profitable but you hate doing, you won’t do as good a job of it as if you write something you love that is less well known.  Your readers can sense your passion (or lack thereof) and if you start trying to coast by writing only on things that seem profitable, you’ll have bored readers and you’ll be less likely to update it.  All of these things mean that your blog will flop no matter how profitable it seems like it should be!

There are no ‘secrets’ to successful blogging, nothing that anyone is particularly holding back.  The main reason why most blogs fail is because people don’t give them enough time to become successful, they don’t write very interesting content and/or they just try to focus on money making and not on what they enjoy.  People go to blogs to get opinions, discussions, and a window on someone’s view on life, not just to have products shoved in their face.  Write what you love, write regularly and write well and your blog will do well for itself and even become profitable for it.

Affiliate Marketing

The first way to make money blogging is through affiliate marketing.  This is where you put advertisement links for larger online merchants on your blog in the hopes that your reader will click on the link and buy things, thus kicking a commission back to you.  If you opt for this route, make sure that your blog can be linked to the sites you are marketing so that you can blog about subjects that will then entice people to click on the links you’re offering.  For example, if you are blogging about natural foods, then you should affiliate with natural food sellers.  Becoming an affiliate marketer is free to do and all you have to do is put the affiliate marketer’s code on your blog.  It’s easy to start a blog and make money!

Google AdSense

Kind of like affiliate marketing for dummies, Google AdSense does a lot of the marketing for you by analyzing your blog and giving you text links that will suit it best.  AdSense often makes up a chunk of the profits of successful bloggers because it’s easy to use, highly effective, and it’s free to use.

Provide it as a Service

Providing services as a blog writer professionally is another way to make money blogging.  Plenty of businesses realize the usefulness of a blog, but don’t have time to keep up with one, so they hire someone to do it for them.  Becoming a ghost blog writer is a great way to make some steady and reliable income without having to worry about what you’re going to write about or forcing yourself to write blogs for free.  Blog writing is a fun aspect of freelance writing if you can manage it and of course it means steady work since blogs usually have to be maintained for at least a couple of months before getting any real notice.

Write About What you Love

One of the most important things, and something that many ‘gurus’ will overlook, is the importance of having a true interest in what you’re writing about.  Remember, there are billions of people who have access to the internet.  Out of the billions, there are likely tens of millions interested in what you are writing about.  Out of that, even if there are only a few thousand who click on your money making links, you can make a decent living!  Furthermore, if you write about what you love, that passion will show through and you will have a more interesting, informative, authoritative blog that people will love. Learning how to start a blog and make money is so much easier when you write about something you love.  And, if you’re lucky and do well, you may get syndicated by a larger news site or you may be able to sell your blog for a cool chunk of change and start all over again.

There are many people who make a ton of money blogging and still more people who make a nice part time income from it, so it’s perfectly possible for you to make a good living writing a blog for readers.  Enjoy it; it’s a great way to make money online. These are just a few examples of how to start a blog and make money!
