One way to make money online is by starting a blog about the things you love. When deciding your topic, also try to keep the competitive business markets in mind when choosing catagories. For example, if you want to start a personal blog about beauty and family, consider writing about health and travel also. Hilton Grand Vacations will pay affiliates $25 for each referral made. If you write a few hundred posts over the next couple years about Traveling to different areas, this could really pay off.
If you want to blog about cars consider including a catagory on auto finance. Drivetime will pay affiliates $8 per lead! So every time a visitor from your site clicks over to there credit application and fills one out, you get paid. Many bloggers also use Google adsense which is another way bloggers can almost instantly start earning small fees for visitors who click on the ads. Each time a visitor clicks on one of these small advertisements you could be paid anywhere from ten cents to a couple bucks.
So When does blogging really pay off?
Continually write awesome content and you will soon see the benefits. The pay-off ultimately depends on the writer. Just for fun let’s say in 6 months you get your blog going to where your pulling in 100 unique visits a day. Lets assume 20% of them love your posts and continue coming back to read more. Repeat business, or reader in this case, has always been the ticket to success. So we’re at 20 repeat visitors a day. Multiply that by 30 days for the month and you’ll find your regular readers equal up to approx. 600 a month. If you can manage to get 600 monthly visitors who continually visit your blog, how many regular visitors will you have in a year. 7,200 if I did my math right. 7,200 regular monthly visitors built up over a 12 month period. Let’s not forget the increase in traffic from the many useful articles you’re writing. Some of these visitors will talk about you, link to you. The better content you provide, the more this will happen. Five years from the start of your blogging, where can you see yourself? Hopefully not having to work for someone else! I’ve never come to accept the idea of working for somebody else over the course of my life. By the topic of this blog I assume most of you probably feel the same way.
Cheers! *Clink* ~Slurp~ Errrrr, mmmmm.
