The Truth About Blogging

Here’s the truth about 6 figure blogging

 While blogging can be automated (eventually), you shouldn’t expect income to be passive from the get go. You’ll have to work at it, especially when you are launching your blog and building a platform that you want to be recognized in your market.  

When I first started blogging I was spending 30-50 hours a month creating content, converting visitors into email subscribers, and selling products and services (none of which I created myself , I focused entirely on affiliate marketing. More on that later). 

While I eventually outsourced most of my content to skilled writers, I still spend time evaluating advertising options, reviewing products that I can promote, building my mailing list and creating ad campaigns to boost traffic and keep my blogs in the forefront.

While you can delegate many tasks to a team, such as content creation and even marketing, you will want to be directly involved in the initial building phase. This is your brand, after all. You need to make sure every piece of content has your voice, carries your message and represents your business in the best possible way.

No one will ever be as careful and professional with building your blog as you will be, right? So, dig your heels in and commit to spending the first few months building your blog from the ground floor up. Then, and only then, should you begin to create a team that will help you manage your blog and eventually, expand into other avenues with other niche-based blogs (if you choose to do that). 

Again, in no way is blogging a hands-free method of making money during the INITIAL stages. You must be prepared to put in some time and effort if you truly want to succeed.

But the good news? Your hard work will surely pay off.

The 5 Top Step Or Formula To Start

While there are countless reports and articles that over complicated the process of making money with blogging, here’s a basic overview of how it’s done.

1: Create a blog and register a memorable domain. Avoid remotely hosted options. You need to be in full control of your website so you can take advantage of all the different revenue options with no limitations (or other people’s advertisements).

2: Write (or outsource) killer content that will generate traffic and drive visitors in. This content needs to be extremely high quality, targeted and informative. All meat, no veggies.

3: Convert your visitors into email subscribers so you can build your list. A newsletter is key in building a successful blog online. 

Scratch that, a newsletter is essential to be successful in nearly ANY market online. You will never make as much money without one.

4: Communicate with those subscribers regularly so your lists don’t run cold. Build rapport and trust. Nurture relationships with your market.  

This is where you can build a recognized brand as an authority in your market and set yourself apart from the competition (especially those bloggers who aren’t doing this!).

5: Sell products and services to your audience via your blog and through your newly cultivated newsletter.

Sounds easy enough, right? It is. But it will take time. Let’s dig into each of these steps a bit deeper so you better understand how it works.

CREATING YOUR BLOG

This report is focused on how to make money with your blog, so I won’t go into detail about building the platform. 

Just know that you should always choose a memorable domain that is targeted to your market and that you set up a professional hosting account that houses your blog.  

Don’t use a free host or a remotely hosted option like Blogger.

CREATING CONTENT FOR YOUR BLOG

The type of content you create will depend on your target audience, but every piece of content should always be informative and the juiciest, most relevant topic you can come up with. 

Your content will be what drives in traffic and keeps visitors returning to your blog. It needs to establish your blog as an informative source of content in your market so make sure you spend extra time crafting compelling content (or outsource to experienced writers who know your market inside and out).  

BUILD AND CONVERT CUSTOMERS

You need to always be working towards building your list. This is a process you can set up on autopilot by using on site opt-in forms that capture visitor’s information and add them to your mailing list.  

Plugins like OptinMonster make it easy to add visitors to your mailing lists. 

Offer an incentive to those who join your lists such as providing them with a special report not available anywhere else on your blog, or special offers and discounts on products and services.  

Always over deliver, and start off easy. Don’t inundate your subscribers with paid offers right away , build rapport with them first and let them know you are looking out for their best interests. 

Then, set up autoresponder campaigns that will broadcast different valuable offers and freebies to your subscribers over time. I personally set up an introduction/welcome email to go out to my subscribers as soon as they join my list. 

Then, 2-3 days later, I have another automated email go out that offers a free special report on my niche. Then, a week later, I begin to condition them to open my emails because they know they’ll receive value by doing so. 

Another free offer, a special discount code or a special infographic based on what my visitors are most interested in.

It’s not until 7-12 days later before I begin to actively sell, and I do so as passively as possible. 

Rather than bold, in your face offers, I work WITH them by providing valuable resources or tools that I believe will help them or improve their lives in some way.

When subscribers feel that you are a friend who is looking out for them, rather than a marketer whose only interest is in making money, they will respond accordingly.  

So, don’t be a pushy email marketer, be a professional blogger with a pulse on your market and one who is willing to go the distance for your visitor’s (and potential customers).

Earn their trust and respect.

And finally, sell products and services like no one’s business!.  

This is when you’ll start to make money with your blog and as you do, you’ll see what your visitors are responding to so you can fine tune your system and begin to tailor both your email campaigns and the content on your blog, around what they are most interested in.

Conclusion

I want you to start selling today. Don’t make the mistake that so many rookie bloggers make and believe that you should first build up your subscriber list to 1,000 before you start selling.  

Don’t worry about having “enough” content on your blog.

Begin by posting 2-3 highly informative posts on your blog that will appeal to your target audience and choose 1-3 affiliate products to promote.  

Divide that up and feature one product for every 2-3 articles on your blog, with the other affiliate offers being sent out to your newsletter subscribers.

The key is not to be pushy. Provide valuable content that will attract visitors and integrate an affiliate offer or two within your blogs structure.  

That way you aren’t shoving it in their faces but rather reminding them of a useful tool or service that will help them in some way. 

It’s hard to stay motivated as a blogger if you aren’t making money so by kick starting your efforts immediately, rather than trying to perfect everything, you’ll see results that much faster.  

You’ll also be able to generate revenue that can go into building your team, hiring writers and marketers. 

Once you have cashed that first check or accepted that first payment into Paypal from your affiliate sales, trust me you’ll be hooked.
