The Psychology Of Blogging

Blogging what is this now? hold your breath. Blogging is a means of organising items, stories, news, and information on the internet. It is like a website, but this one is free you do not have to pay any hosting fee. I found out about blogging in 2011. I was just playing with it all through that time. But as I kept doing it, I found this guy at viperchill that is even employing family members doing blogging after he left his full time job and decided to do blogging. He is crazy about seo (you can read about what the heck is seo at (The A, B, C's Of SEO). I found out how much I was in love with blogging late 2014. There is always something new to work on when you are doing blogging.

If you must have notice from 2011 - 2015 that sums up to 4 years of experience. So I have been able to come out with the psychology of it. The psychology of it is there are millions if not billions of people searching the internet every day, create a blog write anything and you will start getting a share of that large amount of people on the internet. That is not it. What you are talking about has to make sense and there is some little if not allot of work that have to be done.

When it comes to blogging there is article marketing, there is video marketing, there is social media marketing and there is seo (search engine optimisation). We are not going to be talking about that today, to get more on that read this one How To Promote My Video Game Blog.

I want to work with your psychology. There are 156 million blogs on the internet. That number should not scare you, only a thousand of them end up making it as bloggers. This is because few of them are able to set authority in the topic they are trying to present to the world.

Now what can I write on to generate recognition on the internet? That is a good question that should be pondering your mind if you are following up with what I am trying to bring to you today. Hold on, you do not have to write about physics explaining to people about radioactivity or mathematical functions. I find some of you posting marriage pictures, birthdays pictures, swimming pool pictures that end up getting hundreds of likes on facebook. You can make money from that if you create a blog, organise this pictures get a link from that blog and post on your facebook wall to direct people to your blog. You can also create a facebook page and even make some discern money from that too.

You can create a blog telling people about your marriage experience, how you take care of your children or how you take care of your garden vegetables. Only make sure you have some proof that you actually know what you are talking about. You can put photos, videos to claim what you know so that  people can know what you are talking about. By so doing, people will not see you as a kind and turn to ignore you.

We live in an internet world today. What are you good at on the internet, spending hours on social media sites like facebook and twitter chatting with friends, following up with all sport activities, reading news on the internet, commenting on other websites, following up with all scoops about your favourite stars... All you have to do is create a blog so you get a link and write things you are passionate about and post them to your area of expertise. You will be surprise the magic that it will work.

Now how do you make money. You have to do what is known as affiliate marketing. Amazon and click back offers such opportunities, even eBay. Where you get the link of a particular product on these sites and place on your blog and if some one buys that product, you get what is known as commission, it can be as high as 75% or 50, 50. Say you place the link of a product that cost 100$ on your blog and then someone ends up buying that particular product you end up getting 75$ in the case of 75% commission or 50$ in the case of 50% commission. Yes that is how simple it is.

Just start a blog write on what you love so as to keep the continuity and then share the link on an area on the internet you are good at. People start visiting your blog and then you start making money. But wait until you get at least a thousand visitors per month before you start posting affiliate links on that blog or else people will think you want to scam them or you are interested in just getting their money.

Internet Traffic By Blog Commenting

Creating a blog on the internet is just about 1% of the whole thing. Writing interesting stuffs people what to engage in still rank at 1%. To bring the two together, creating a blog and writing interesting stuffs people want to engage in sum up to 2% of the blogging game. So where is the rest 98%? you may curiously ask. It is found in what is called internet traffic. This is the number of people that visits your blog on a daily basis. Whether you have the most attractive blog or the most interesting stuffs on the web without traffic, all that is useless. Read on as we find out what I mean by internet traffic by blog commenting...

The most effective way to get traffic is to gain reorganization by search engines like Google, yahoo, bing.com... The process involved in getting noticed by these search engines is called SEO ( Search Engine Optimization. )  This is what it entitles you to do, create back links and do keyword research. Back links are links pointing directly to your blog. You get them by commenting on other blogs, creating profiles on other websites that will eventually give to one link back to your blog, submitting your blog to blog directories, submitting articles to article directories, submitting videos to video sites. Keyword is simply what people normally search for on search engines, say someone type the key phrase ( daily devotional ) on Google. If your blog is ranked high on that particular keyword, then it will be shown on the first ten results of google.com.

So here is the game, you what to have as many keywords ranked on the front page of Google as possible. Preferably the first page. If you will have to do this alone, that involves allot of hard work. It is almost an impossible task. But as life always have it, people always find a way around. What is the way around? you want to get as much social shares as possible. Google just came up with its own social media site ( Google+ ) if you have a particular post that gets allot of +1 on Google+ that post stands a better chance of ranking on the first page of Google.

The question now is, how do you get your social shares? you need people. How do you get people? this is how. When you just start a new blog, you will find thousand if not million of information out there on the internet trying to teach you how to blog, how to generate internet traffic... But very few if any knows the secret. They will overwhelm you with junk stuffs that don't work. It is my heart desire that everyone that wants to make profitable blogging should see this post. Please if you happen to see this share it to your friends and encourage them to also share it to their friends.

There are 156 million blogs on the internet. That should not scare you. only a few end up making it as bloggers. Why? they get tied of doing the things they are supposed to do to get internet traffic.

When you make the decision to create a blog, make sure you choose what you are passionate about to write on. This to ensure you love what you do and can write regularly on that topic. Don't copy content from other blogs. This has a penalty on Google. What you can do if you need some kick start skills is to modify contents from other blogs. Try to make it as unique as possible.

Then you want to find blogs that blog on the same topic as you ( in the blogging world, this is called niche. ) Choose ones that already have a loyal readership. Understand the writer very well because he is king on the blog and you are trying to get the attention of the king. The minute he/she notices you are trying to get his/her attention, you are dead. What you want to do is present yourself as a fan of that topic that shares similar interest with the others of that blog. When posting comments on such blogs, make sure you properly introduce yourself, your name, where you come from, what you do for a living and if possible your marital status. Then make comments that add value to what the writer is saying. In this way you can gain the readers of that blog and even the writer.

Tipp: you can pick up a fight, but make sure you know what you are doing. This brings allot of heat from the readers and even from the writer. They might get to dislike you, bad for you. But if you make it through, the writer will want to know you for sure. You got the king and all his followers will just follow you.

Do you know people are making money blogging and even a living? you can too. When you understand what is going on. If you read this post well, then you are good to go.

Making Money On The Internet

The Bible said ''awake oh sleepers.'' What the Bible meant here is not actually those sleeping on their bed but those sleeping on what is going on in this world of ours. The internet today is where everyone is found. I heard people even now find Spouse on the internet. Sites like facebook.com has almost 2 billion people. It has even been termed as the reason why people browse the internet these days. I just want to open your eyes. So read on as I try to do that.

There are several legitimate ways you can make money on the internet. Through freelance jobs on sites like freelancer.com. Where you are required to do simple things like data entry, article writing, copy writing to complicated jobs like java scripts and web design... On a site like freelancer.com, you are required to search for jobs post by those that require your service, and then you will have to bit for that job. The secret here is if you are new on the internet you will have to go in for the data entry jobs and if you are good at writing, then you can take article writing and copy writing. When starting, make sure you have the lowest bit. And be polite. Write short reviews about yourself like ''Dear sir I am new here and I promise I will do my best to deliver your service at the lowest price.'' And then you have an additional advantage if you are the first to bit on a particular project.

You can also make money on sites likes facebook.com and twitter.com. You can do that through cpa's and affiliate marketing. This is how. On twitter.com, after you have got as much followers as you can, you can join affiliate sites like clickbank.com. On clickbank.com, people post affiliate products and you get what is called a commission if that product is bought through a link posted by you. Some are as high as 75% while some is 50, 50. Same on facebook.com. But facebook.com has an additional advantage in that you can create a page and place cpa's options. Cpa's are form filling projects where you are paid a low amount of money if people fill forms on your website or facebook page. You can also past affiliate links on your facebook page.

You can also create a blog on free sites like blogger.com, wordpress.com or create a free website. Here you are required to do a little of hard work. This is where making money on the internet is all found. People are known to live on what they make on their blogs or websites. But you will have to get involved in what is called internet traffic. A very frustrating and hard working process. It involves SEO ( Search Engine Optimization, ) article marketing, social media marketing, video marketing. With Seo, you will have to build links so you can get noticed by search engines like google.com, yahoo.com and bing.com... With article marketing, you will have to write articles and submit them to article directories like ezinearticles.com, articlebase.com. With social media marketing, you will have to create social profiles on sites like facebook.com, twitter.com, digg.com, delicious.com, stumbleupon.com... Video marketing requires you to create short videos and submit them to sites like youtube.com.

The secret here is try to be an expert in at least one. Don't try to do it all. It will not work. If you choose SEO, work on it if you choose article marketing, work on that...

Be patience, consistence and hard working. You are a free man and I am trying to teach you the ways of a free man. Be your own BOSS.

Ask your questions I am here to answer.

Blogging Your Way To A Million Dollar Empire

If you are someone that is regular and curious about what is going on, on the internet like me, then you must have found out that people make money on the internet. I am not talking here about scammers, I am talking here about people who make real money. For those of you that do not know, there are people that are going to ask you to buy a product online, the most common is a dog and do not deliver the goods, this type of people are called scammers. I want to talk to you today about people that will deliver you, your product and even give you an online course to teach you what they have learnt.

Gone are the days when internet surfing was fun, people loved to receive emails, infact it was a prestigious thing at the time, people felt proud when they bought something online. Then came this time when the internet world was exploited, people started receiving emails of scams and even emails threatening their lives. All that did not stop the internet from growing, from the times of emails and fun surfing, the internet has grown tremendously, but people now are very careful as to what they buy and the type of emails they receive. People have even started protecting their email addresses with software some of which I do not even know about.

With all that said, I am just trying to drag you into the internet world. I want to open your eyes so you can also tap from what has evolved in the internet world. The most active age groups on the internet range from 10 - 25. They spend much time on the internet searching on any thing that is interesting to them. Play games for hours on the internet. Keep up with their favourite stars on the internet. 30 - 65 are boring parents who want to check every thing their child is doing on the internet and protect them from explicit contents like pornography.

Stars, companies have been known to run their whole activity on the internet. You can come in here. Who is your favourite star? Eminen, Beyonce... What brand of product do you like, Sony Play station, Microsoft Corporation. Or maybe you are good at programming, why don't you create a game, software and show the world what you are able to create. From here I expect you to start following up. A million dollars is not money to get some burgers at McDonalds. We are talking here about financial independence. So you need to be able to keep up with each updates I am making.

You have come up with your favourite stars, companies, game programming abilities. What next? you need to study the internet world to find out what type of people are you involved with. Are you involved with teenagers or adults. This is going to help you to know how to get some money from the age group. We will cover that later. Keep up with me as we try to go through this together.

The aim of the internet world has been exploited. The internet world was made for people to reach each other far and near. But now it is a home of pornographic materials, scams and even demonic activities. People are tied of protecting their children from online porn and from purchasing products that do not reach them, people have even have demonic activities to solve as a result of surfing the internet.

Get this from me, these days before people start giving you their money on the interne, they have to trust you. So no matter how good you have understood the stars you love and found out who share this similar love with you, no matter how good you are with video games, even if you are a ps3 game computer programmer, you will need to gain some trust before people can start buying what you have to sell.

Now you want to learn how to gather people right? let us try to cover that. You can create a blog on a free site like blogger which is owned by google, create a page on facebook, get a twitter account. This is what you are able to do with a blog. You can write articles post it on the blog encourage people to read what you have posted. If people are interested in what you have posted, then they will either subscribe with their emails or share your content on social media sites like facebook, twitter... On facebook you can post status updates, say you are the first to learn about a latest game release, you can post it on facebook and your fans can then learn from what you have posted. Same with twitter. Post status updates and your followers can benefit from what you have found.

Now you have known the internet, what is required of you in order to make real money on the internet and not scam people. You have know where to get the trust of people. Now what you what to know, how to make money from the different age groups. If you are someone that is promoting something for teenagers, then you do not have to place things that require them to buy anything, what you can do with this age group is get them to get involved in form filling and link clicking. There are companies offering jobs online known as cpa's where people are required to fill forms and at the end you earn some money. You can also integrate google adsense into your blog where individuals will be required to click on links that show up on the ads and you earn money if they do this.

If you are dealing with the buying age, then you can join a program on Amazon and clickbank known as affiliate marketing, where you get a commission if a product is bought through a special link you got either from Amazon or clickbank.

By now I expect you to have already gotten what and where we are trying to go to,. Let us use blogging as a case study. There are over 167 million blogs online. People create blogs for different reasons, to share photos with friends, to share life experience with the world, to share how to's, stories, assemble content online. Gone are the days when blog was meant just for publishing content online, now people make a living out of it.

That is what I want us to be talking about today. How can to make a million dollar empire from blogging. People most of the times if not all of the times use search engines to search for what they are looking online. Google is the biggest and most popular search engine on the web. In order to get google's attention, you are going to find out free and even paid services telling you to do keyword research and building backlinks. Trust me this process has the power to discourage you from the blogging world.

So what if I tell you there is a way to bypass keyword research and backlink building. Facebook, twitter and best of all google+ owned by google itself has a huge part to play when it comes to finding things on google. The part they play on google is known as social signals.

This is what you want to do, get as much social signals as possible. How do you do that? look for topics that are hot on facebook, twitter, google+. Some of you are very good when it comes to keeping up with your favourite star updates on facebook and twitter, with google+ you will have to keep up with brands. Why not create you own.  

Google have been known to pay a close attention on the number of shares and likes a post gets on facebook, the number of retweets a post gets on twitter, the number of google +1s and share a post gets on google+. So if your name comes up on a topic that goes viral, you will gain some exposure which will eventually lead to people visiting your blog or like your facebook page.

So you have come up with a game, there are people that spend hours playing games on facebook. I do not know the upload policies of games on facebook. But I do know individuals are allowed to upload games on facebook. What if your game becomes the next Farmville, that even people that came out with a Manuel where made millionaires.

Facebook has almost 2 billion users, there are many ways to make thousand of friends on facebook. Join groups of similar interest, like pages that share what you can engage in, start your own group. Post regular, share news, inspirational and encouragement quotes, share photos, try to be funny sometimes. Give your readers some time to miss you. Don't overload them with content. This is similar with twitter. With google+, people often share just photos explaining what they are trying to transpire to the world. Take some time study what is it that you are telling the world, look for pictures explaining your idea, share it on google+, who knows maybe it goes viral, starting up an online career for you.

You do not have to tell people about nuclear physics, you can know how to take care of a school garden, tell people how you do that, you can know how to cook a delicious meal, tell the world how you do that, or maybe you want to share your success on a successful marriage life, the world what's to hear that. Do not be afraid that people will not like what you have to share. A good search term is searched at least 1000000 times on a monthly bases, there must be some people that will find what you have to say interesting.

Once you start getting people liking your facebook page, becoming friends with you on facebook, following you on twitter, following you on google+, subscrbing to your newsletter, these are the people you want to make happy, they will buy your products, spread your content.

Make sure you reply to their comments, ease their minds on their concerns. Attack people that want to attack them for reading what you have to say. If you are successful, some of them will like to ask you for help to start up their own blog, twitter account or facebook page, give it to them and they will remember you when they are grown and this is going to increase your audience dramatically. Give them the opportunity to ask questions and make sure you answer each one of these questions, They can even suggest what they will like reading from you, do your best that you see they get this.

When you just start do not be afraid to interview influencers in your industry. Some of them are kind enough to reply to you. Make sure to keep it simple and not write them as if they are some gurus. Write them with allot of respect addressing their success. You can even come up with posts about them and inform them that you have done that.

Do not flood your blog with affiliate links when it has just 2 visitors a daily. People will have to first of all get engage with what you have to say and then they will compensate you by buying from the links you have to provide. Most internet buyers are already aware of affiliate links and they see those that are just interested in getting their money, they will bypass your affiliate link and move straight to Amazon or clickbank. But if they see that your content is adding some value into their lives and educating them, they will reward you by buying from what you have to sell.

Why not come up with your own e-book. On clickbank, you will be busy promoting peoples e-books about weight loss, game manuals, how to's. You can come up with your own so that people will be busy promoting what you have come up with. Get on the internet, collect data, arrange it in a pdf file, post it on clickbank and watch people start promoting this product for you. Or you know how to better take care of kitchen utensils, write an e-book teaching people how to do that and they will reward you by buying what you have to sell.

Nowadays every one wants to blog, have you known something about blogging that no one else is talking about, tell the world about it and make some money by doing just that. Do not be scared by the number of blogs that are online, do not be scared by the number of facebook page that are online, do not be scared by the number of people that have eaten up twitter. Come up with your own unique idea, start a blog and tell the world about what you have found, create a facebook page and encourage and inspire people on a daily bases, build a twitter follow up by sharing to them their favourite news about their stars.

If you do all what I have said then you can make some money online why not a living. Be consistent, give some time, you are not a robot that can do this everyday 24/7. Once you start making money, do not stop until you reach a million dollars.

Share your comments with me.

Have You Seen How Many Blogs Are Online?

The first time I stumbled upon blogging was back in 2011. By then I did not even know what I had felt on. I was just trying to have content online to my Cameroonian friends since I had just travelled to Germany at the time. When I just started to find out what blogging was all about back in 2012, I found out that people made some money blogging. I was determined to also make some money from my blog. I have succeeded to make a couple of dollars since then. But I was curious to find out more...

Then late 2014 I found out that people do make a living from blogging. Then I took blogging a little serious since I had just recently lost my metal construction job at the time. The last time I search the internet, there is this blogger that is making as much as 8 million dollars from her blog.

Now that I have a story rolling for you, let us get into why we are here today. If you search the internet on the number of blogs that are online, you will find out that there are more than 167 million blogs online. That sounds crazy right? What you can not find is what all these blogs are writing about.

Reason For This Huge Number

Most people create a blog, publish 5 post, create 2 backlinks, write 6 articles. Seat and think people will just start visiting their blog. If they do not find people coming to the blog, they create another and another. So you might find out at the end of the day, one person owns a total of 10 unsuccessful blogs. Some of them are just ignorant of the task they are required to carry if they have to become successful bloggers and some are just lazy.

What does that number of online blogs tell you, that every search term related to blogging goes crazy right? This is where I come in. Do not start a blog about physics, when you can just do a proper study on the different blogger platforms and teach people how to use them and you can get famous doing just that.

There are going to be people who just want to understand the blogger platform to do certain task. There are many blogger platforms, you have blogger, owned by google, wordpress, typad and many others. So if you do a study on how to use these different blogger platforms, then you should be able to get a share on what has developed from the blogging world.

Now you have known that there are people who just want to understand the different blogger platforms. Let us take it to the next level. The next set of people you are going to find are people who want to know what blogging is all about. There is no specific topic you are required to blog about.

What are you passionate about? Search the internet to find out about influencers already blogging about what you are passionate about. Understand the internet world you are passionate about. Come out with some new ideas. But you have to be found in the internet world. Do some more research if you have to, add what you know if you must, but make sure you stay on tract.

Now you have known what people are dying about to share on the internet. Let us get into the next question

How do you get people to read what you have written?

Even if you are teaching people how to use blogger owned by google, you will still need people to visit and read what you have to say. The process involved in getting people to read what you have written is known as internet traffic, web traffic, blog traffic. It is the most broad topic when it comes to blogging. I am going to tell you the different marketing strategies involved in getting internet traffic and you will have to choose a few of them and do studies until you are able to create expertise in these areas. I am also going to be showing you how to make money from these services.

SEO: In full search engine optimization. What is required of you here is to make friends with search engines. And you want to be best of friends with google. Google is the largest search engine on the internet. It's video site is the second largest search engine on the web. That should tell you its authority when it comes to search engine optimization.

So what is it about search engine optimization?

Your blog will have to come up with search terms that are ranked preferably on the front page of google. There are two things involved when it comes to search engine optimization, which are:

Keywords: These are the search terms people will normally search in order to get into a product, news, or idea... There are people who are going to tell you to do keyword research. But I am not one of such people. That is to me waste of time. Find out the topic you are interested to write about, do some careful research, come out with a good post of at least 2000 words and there are going to be a good amount of keywords in that post of yours to get you to rank high on google. There are even paid services to do keyword research, if you buy that, you will just be wasting your hard earned money.

Backlinks: How google will rank your site will be determine from the number of backlinks you have. Here quality defeads quantity. One authority backlink is worth 1000 low quality backlinks. You get backlinks when other sites link to you. I have someone for you that can help you go through backlinks with ease known as Brian Dean, he is the owner of backlinko.

Making Money Through SEO

Yes you can make money from your search engine optimation knowledge. There are multi million dollars companies just to carry out this service for web and blog owners. This comes through what is known as link building. So when doing link building, you want to give it some more attention since it has the power to make you some extra money. There are going to be web and blog owners that will pay you to do their link building project for them. You can find them easily on sites like freelancer. Freelancer is a site where website and blog owners come and post jobs ranging from simple data entry to complicated java scripting. You can easily find someone on freelancer seeking to get their link building project completed for a certain amount of fee.

If you want to catch a project on freelancer, then you will have to be consistent on the site. Since you might be biding on a single project with hundreds of other freelancers. You have an added advantage if you are the first to bid on a project. Make sure you bid the lowest since you are just starting on this site. And always leave a private message to the project owner. Do not go for trial by error, make such each project you are bidding for you have read and is able to meet up with the requirements to complete that project. Freelancer is a realistic site you can easily bid on a project and earn up winning that project. Do not write a cv, most people are not interested to read a long and detailed cv, they want to know if you can do the job or not. Write something simple like

Dear sir

I am new here. I promise I will deliver an excellent job and at the lowest price.

Articles: You have come out with something you are passionate to write about. You will need to come out with article ideas of at least 450 words and submit them to article directories. When writing the articles, do not make it look like a school assay, make it to look like a story. This is going to make it interesting. If people love what you have written, they will publish your articles on their website or blog, gaining even more exposure. Try not to focus your attention on search engines but on people. Use the prefixes I, you, me and write in a conversational tone.

Making Money Through Article Marketing

Are you good at writing articles? Can you do copy writing? then you have a good job on the internet. There are some people that have too much work or are too lazy to come up with their own articles. What this type of people do is hire others to get this work done for them. You can find such people at freelancer and odesk. You get as much as 2$ for a single article.

Social Media: For those of you that are good with chatting on the internet, I have something for you. Let us see how we can convert that chat into some traffic and even some money. The two biggest and most popular social media sites on the web are facebook and twitter. Facebook has almost 2 billion users. It is known as the reason why people browse the internet these days. All your favourite stars keep their update with you on facebook. There are games that are played by millions on facebook. You can use all of these for your benefit. You can create a facebook page, keep up with the updates from your favourite stars and games, by so doing you will make some new friends whom you can direct to your page. Twitter is a mini blogger platform where you can post short messages. To get the most out of your tweets, make sure you include photos and links.

Some people have come up with optimal times to post on twitter and facebook. Twitter on Friday at 2pm - 5pm, facebook on Thursday at 1pm - 3pm. I do not believe in this, study your audience know what they like, give it to them. Do not post on odd hours though like 12am, almost everybody is at sleep or in the nightclubs at this time.

Making Money Through Social Media Marketing

If you get a good amount of facebook likes and twitter followers, then you can begin to post affiliate links. Amazon and click bank offers such opportunities, even eBay. Where you get the link of a particular product on these sites and place on your blog and if some one buys that product, you get what is known as commission, it can be as high as 75% or 50, 50. Say you place the link of a product that cost 100$ on your blog and then someone ends up buying that particular product you end up getting 75$ in the case of 75% commission or 50$ in the case of 50% commission. Yes that is how simple it is.

Videos: If you have a webcam at home that will be a great idea. You can come up with short video ideas and upload them to video sites. The videos should be at most 6 minutes to get maximum clicks. If you do not know where to upload your videos, do a google search on video sites and it will show you a ton of them for you to choose from.

Blog commenting: Here you are required to search for people already writing on your topic. Read through what they have written and then make comments. Make sure the comment is addressing the said topic. You can gain recognition from the already loyal blog readers of that blog. And even the owner if you comment consistently.

Forum Posting: People come together on the internet in places known as forums to share common interest. Ask question, learn from each other. Most of these forums give you 2 links, you get 1 profile link and 1 signature link. Make sure you answer only question that you know what you are talking about, by so doing you can scratch up a conversation. If you get 2 of such conversation running, then your blog will get some visitor and link juice. Some of these forums give you the opportunity to create a group.

Leading Bloggers

Leadership is something that has been in place from the foundation of the Earth. Man fall when he left the leadership of God. We are not here today to talk about the Bible, so stay with me. In the times of the Pirates, when a leader fails to lead them to Gold and precious stones, he was either replaced or killed. A good leader should be able to inspire, encourage, guard, direct protect his subjects. I want to take up that position and hope you vote for me to be your leader.

If you recently had an idea to start a blog then do a search on the number of blogs online, and you will find out that there are over 167 million blogs online. That is a huge number right? It even has the power to discourage you. But that is why I am here to tell you, you do not have to get discouraged.  Just a hand full of all these people owning these blogs earn the blogger rewards. It is a fun way to make money on the internet. You make money while sleeping. You make money every day. And blogging is one of the most effective ways to make money on the internet.

How do you make money through blogging?

There is a program known as affiliate marketing where you get products from online stores place them on your site, and if this product is bought through your affiliate link, you earn what is known as a commission. Let us use Amazon as a case study. In Amazon, there are products ranging from books to TV sets. You get a product from Amazon, place it on your blog, someone one sees that product on your blog, click through that link on your blog, buys that product from Amazon, you earn 50% or 75% commission of the purchase price. So let us say to took a product from Amazon that costs 1$, if some one buys that product, you earn 50 and 25 cent respectively.

Now after knowing how to make money on your blog, let that not excite you. You need to get people to visit your blog, enjoy and connect with what you have to offer. This is where most people die. It is a difficult and frustrating process.

Why most people do not make it as bloggers?

1. The internet is used by almost everyone nowadays, but that does not mean you can just publish anything on the internet and expect that people will just start flourishing into what you have published. You need to be seen by search engines, social medias...

2. The topic you have to blog on, in the blogger world is known as niche. Before you jump into any niche, you have to do some research. Find influencers in that niche, see what they are doing, interview them if you are able to, most of them are willing to answer questions. You can even take a case study on them and come out with a post about them publish it on your blog and then inform them that you have done that. Let us take for example. You have decided to write about taken care of home garden. Just the fact that you know about home gardening does not just make you to jump on the internet and start writing about home gardening. You need to know the world of home gardening on the internet.

3. Laziness: Blogging is not a means of running away from the hard work at your work place. It also entails a schedule amount of work every day before you can make earn means. But the advantage here is that once you start getting visitors then you have arrived.

4. Lack of Motivation: Do not choose a topic you have not done any research on or just because everyone is writing about that topic. Trust me you will need allot of motivation in the early years of your blogger career. It is a perilous time. Choose something you love talking about in your every day life. For those of you that like football, why not write about football, do you like video games then write about video games, or maybe you like fashion then tell the world about your passion on fashion.

5. No strategy: Yes you might be intelligent. You know what you are talking about. But why don't you have tones of people stumbling on your blog yet? You will need a strategy. We will talk about this later in the post.

So those are some of the reasons why your friend that is trying to discourage you from doing blogging has faced is or will face. I have a 5 Years blogging experience, I want to run you through a one year successful blogging experience. You ready then let us get into it.

In the blogging world, you can not do without what is known as internet traffic, web traffic, blog traffic. From this term alone has come multi million dollar companies covering the following topics

Article marketing: where you write articles about a particular topic and submit them to article directories like ezinearticles...

Video marketing: Here you create short videos and submit them to video sites like youtube...

Social media marketing: You have to be active on social media sites like facebook, twitter.

Forum posting: You will have to find forums that are relevant to your niche and contribute to the question and answer section of these forums.

SEO: known as search engine optimization. You will have to make certain search terms known as keywords from your blog being seen on the first page of search engines. And google when it comes to search engine optimization is your best friend.

Blog Commenting: You will have to look for sites that write about what you are interested in and make comments on what they are sharing on the internet.

Joining Question and Answer sites: There are sites on the internet like quora and yahoo answer where people come and ask about things they are interested in, concern about frustrated about want to learn about... you can be of good help if you develop a sense of expertise on a particular topic on these sites.

From me you are allowed to use any of the marketing strategy above.

Tipp:

Choose two and do until you become an expert.

We are going to be looking at search engine optimization. To get noticed by search engines, you need what is known as backlinks. There is a guy that has it all when it comes to backlinks. Known as Brian Dean owner of backlinko. He became famous when he came up with the scraper technique. Which involves searching on a topic that you are interested in to write about that already has allot of exposure, modify it and share it on the internet again. You will love his method of getting backlinks which comes from social signals. How many share and likes can you get from facebook, how many retweets can you get from twitter, how many pins can you get from pinterest, how many stumbles can you get from stumbleupon...

Other things you will love about Brian.

- Has a focus: Brain has studied backlinks and has concentrated all his attention to get the best out of what backlinks bring.

- Keep it simple: You will never hear Brian telling you about something you can not do. His English is also the simple English. And not a sophisticated English class.

Videos: Brian also comes out with videos for those of you that prefer watching videos.

Course: Brian has an upcoming course to teach you about what he has learn about backlinks.

Cute: You an handle Brian's look.

There is this guy that I met on the internet when it comes to traffic known as Neil Portal. He has many blogs, but I got to know him through quicksproud. This man has been blogging for 10 years, sure he knows what the hell he is talking about. Neil also keeps it simple and straight to the point. He has his readers at heart. Uses Info graphics to explain statistics.

If there are 167 million blogs online, that makes any search term about blogging crazy right? Why not take some time, study the blogger platform, come out with a great post about blogging, the blogger platform, your traffic methods, your social media integration. And then you can incorporate it with your area of expertise.

People are making as much as 8 million dolars from blogging. Who say you can not too. Give it a try put in some effort. Do not go in for failure but for success.
