What you should know before starting a blog

Blogging and making money online are not new terms to people who wish to have a second income in the internet. It is with no doubt that many people think that making money blogging is as easy as just posting a post on blogger and just publishing.

 Well am not trying to discourage you by saying its hard but as a blogger you should know your goals and have a specific niche that you wish to write about and also be sure to get quality traffic from your content.  The reality in blogging is that you have to sweat for the revenue you get just like any other job out there.

In order to start making a decent income from blogging it calls for hard work, patience and determination. The fact in blogging is that you cannot earn huge amounts of revenue during your first experience.

A blogger needs time to work on the blog as it gains popularity with time. The more it becomes popular the more the organic traffic you get daily and that his how you rise to the rank and start making good money from your blog.

SEO Traffic is secret of making Money Blogging.

The best way of making money online is through Search Engine Optimization (SEO). SEO is the heart of a successful blog and without it, making a good income can be a hell of time for the blogger.  You should know that search engine visitors increase the payout rates at the ad network you have monetized your blog with. So a conclusion to this is Search engine visitors = Money.

Success is Never Guaranteed.

Unlike other businesses you know blogging is one job that you cannot guarantee yourself to become successful one day.  A blog requires high dedication and hard work for you to want to earn from it. You can work hard on your blog but all the same you lack something convincing to readers and your blog will not get any traffic at all since no one wishes to return to see any updates on it.  This is the harsh reality of a blog.

You should keep reading all the time

If you love reading other blogs and knowing new things then you are up to date always and this is how you advance your knowledge to work more and build your own blog. You cannot claim you don’t love reading yet you later come to call yourself a writer. Bloggers In that category do not make any progress in their blogs. You find their blogs are never updated with new content and the grammar is very poor to convince readers.

Be patient

If you wish to become a successful blogger, the patience is a key thing in blogging. Many people think that after starting a blog/website, they will start minting money from the right word go.

Well it doesn’t happen like that in blogging. It takes time for your website/blog to gain popularity so as to get the quality traffic required to fetch you money on the blog. A good way to quicken this is just invest some cash on advertisement and advertise your blog on social media ad spaces, advertising networks or other bigger websites. By doing this you will increase the blog popularity and start earning good money after a short time.

Not every newbie blogger can afford to do this and therefore opt to start from scratch and it takes quite a while, but with patience blogging can be a rewarding career.

Use Real Human Traffic.

If you have monetized your blog with advertising networks which offer payment on pay per click or cost per mile basis, as a blogger you should be genuine enough and provide REAL human traffic on your website/blog. Many people do try tricks that will generate free clicks and huge traffic on their blogs so as to increase their earnings and advertising networks do discourage such kind of behavior from their publishers and many of such accounts with such irregularities end up being banned by ad networks.

Be genuine and avoid greed by trying to try such tricks. Google Adsense is very strict when it comes to the type of traffic driven on their ads. Should they suspect you of any irregularity they ban you there and then and getting your account back is not a guarantee.
