The principle motivation for most people who choose to start their own blog is rarely making money, as such websites are usually born of their creators love for the subject matter that they explore. This does not however mean that they cannot make you money. If you are able to generate enough web traffic for your blog, then however much you may be in it just for the love of the game, you could also make yourself some gravy. Or money, yup, money would definitely be better.
Creating a blog has never been simpler, as it is essentially the same as building your own website, only without the need to consider all of the truly complicated stuff that creating a retail site entails, like how you actually receive your customers, and how you manage your stock. Thanks to online services like WordPress, building a blog is relatively simple.
There is also no overall business plan to consider, especially if you intend purely to make money from your blog on a completely ad hoc basis. This would be the way that we advise most bloggers to treat any blogs that they create with money making intentions. If you have a serious intent to make yourself a comfortable financial living via an online business, then we would wholeheartedly recommend that you look to launch your own retail based website, selling products or providing a valued service, as that is where the real money can be earned.
In short, any money that you actually are able to make from your blog should be treated as something of a bonus. This does not mean that it is not possible to make a lot of money from your blog, you absolutely can, but the effort that doing so requires makes the alternative option of actually biting the bullet and starting a bona fide retail website pretty much the more sensible choice. Remember retail sites can contain their own blogs within them.
If you are going to make money from your blog, you are going to have to develop a following for it. Unlike retail websites, people do not tend to spend as much time looking for blogs on the search engines as they tend to be found in a more natural and organic way, usually by word of mouth, guest blogging, on the recommendation of a friend or acquaintance, or indeed, through some of your blog’s content being linked to by someone else.
Now, with the exception of guest blogging, most of the ways in which people are likely to hear about your blog require at least a small group of people to have found your blog in some other way. You cannot gather visitors by recommendation if nobody has seen your site in order to recommend it first.
So, how best do you go about finding this initial surge of traffic for your blog? Well, as we have already said, people generally don’t use the search engines to find blogs, which sort of rules out search engine optimization, which takes too long to find an initial burst of visitors in any case.
Advertising could work, but then again, it might not. Trying to establish your blog’s brand, before you have amassed any following whatsoever for it can be incredibly difficult.
Social media exploitation is actually a very good way of finding visitors for your blog, but again, like advertising, it will work far better once you have already managed to establish your blog’s brand in the mind of it’s users.
Your best option then, for finding that initial burst of visitors that your blog is going to need in order to get itself of the ground, is to buy traffic from a trusted source like us at Traffic Masters. Not every visitor that you purchase will enjoy what your blog has to offer but those who do will start to spread the word about it and eventually this will grow to a big enough following for you to start earning some money from your blog.
Of course, in order to establish your blog a following, you will have to run it properly. Regular content updates and interesting points of view are an essential part of any successful blog and you must not allow yourself to become complacent if you wish to capitalize on your blog’s ability to make you some money.
By purchasing guaranteed web traffic from us in the earliest days of your blog, you can start to build up the kind of following that will eventually be able to provide you with a tidy little income, without the hassle of having to actually sell anything to your site’s visitors directly. Remember, the more visitors you can accumulate for your blog, the more potential money it can make you, so do not be afraid to pay us a return visit if you ever feel like your blog needs a little traffic boost in the future too!
