Blog for money - tips for building Posts

7 points to write a blog post that pays

Compelling Title A keyword link to money page in the first line Call to Action to buy at the Bottom of page Content (text) of 1000 Words or more Inspiring Photos Informational and inspirational Includes the video equivalent center in content with same post title

Compelling Title!

What do I mean by a compelling title? I title your posts with a title visitors can’t resist. Even if you have to overstate the truth a little bit...do it! Just make visitors want to click the link to your blog post to learn more. Blog post A is titled > “How to Retire Rich” Blog post B is titled > “How to Retire Rich Happy and fabulous” See how these two titles create different pictures in your mind? I would choose to read title b over title a cause title a cause title b sounds like more fun.

A link to money page in your first line

Many people will click a link if they think it will bring them more information on what they are looking for. Make sure the first link on every page is in your first or second line, and highlights the main keyword in your blog title. Here is an example Blog title is.....”How to Visit Jamaica cheaply” Your fist line in your blog post could be something like. >If you want to visit Jamaica cheaply, there are some things you should know to get the best deals possible. (link the words visit Jamaica cheaply) It is important to link your blog is this way for 3 reasons This link highlighting the main keywords in your title, tells search engines that these words are strong/and important. People are likely to click this link because it’s the first link they come across. It is good to cause this link to go to spending page. Clicks are important on a new blog. The more clicks through (into) your blog the more weight the search engines will give your blog the higher page rank you will get in the search engines. So be sure this link clicks to another page on your blog, before it clicks out of your blog.

Type minimum of 1000 words!

Be sure to blog 1000 words minimum for each blog post and blog page. Search engines love blogs with lots of words, and so do your blog visitors. I know this might sound like a lot, but you will get used to it. It takes me about 1- 2 hours to create a good blog post of 1000 words, including photos and links.

Include Inspiring Photos

Let’s face it. People like to feel good. Try to use colorful uplifting happy photos on your blog. This creates a warm inspiring feeling for your blog visitors, and good feelings, equal blog for money dollars in your pocket. It sounds silly, but how else are visitors going to get a visual of what you are blogging about. Choose the most inspiring photos/images you can find to support your blog posts and pages.

Informational and Inspirational Text!

Blog visitors are searching for information that will inspire them and that will teach them something new. Try to include useful information in your blog posts, Big or small. If they were happy with the information they found, next time that same visitor want information on your topic, and guess where they will go? Right back to your blog.

A Call to Action at the end!

If you want to make money blogging, every single one of your blog pages, and blog posts should have a call to action at the end of the blog text that is profitable to you...this could be... Sign up to receive the newest free tips and advice.... (This builds your email list) Check out my new book entitled.... (Promotes yourself written book) An image/photo and description of a product you are promoting (Link it to a buy page)

Includes video equivalent center in the page

Make a video that explains the text already on the page and place it center in the text. Search engines like pages with videos, because it causes visitors to stay on your pages longer, and causes search engines to give your blog a higher rank for that reason. (Do this for every blog page and every blog post; don’t forget to post this video to YouTube to direct traffic to your blog too)

How to make money writing a blog

Top 8 Ways bloggers are making money

The art of making money on a website or blog is called "website/blog monetization.” Here are some ways bloggers are making money from their blogs.

• Selling self-written book(s)/eBooks
• Selling products related to your blog topic
• Affiliate Commissions’ Promoting/ information as an affiliate/vendor
• Promoting Amazon.com books as an Amazon associate
• Email Marketing

1. Affiliate commissions

Making commissions as an affiliate will depend largely on the type of blog run. In other words your blog topic can increase the amount of Affiliate selling opportunities you have or decrease them. If you want to find affiliate options for your blog topic, just go to Google and type your blog topic +affiliate program Example = Jamaica+affilate program Or check out commission www.junction.com

2. Selling products related to your blog topic

Let’s say you run a blog about beading. You could sell beads and beading related products from your blog. This is more like a hobby business blog.

3. Clickbank.com

Clickbank.com is mostly an affiliate website. However I have listed clickbank.com separate from the affiliate section because there are two ways to use clickbank.com

Click bank as a Vendor

Post your own digital products and allow other bloggers/website owners to promote this product for you on their blogs or websites.

Click bank as an Affiliate

Promote digital products of others on your blog and make monthly affiliate commissions. Visit www.clickbank.com

4. Amazon.com

You can sell amazon.com books as an associate/affiliate. Visit www.amazon.com and create an associate account. Then follow the steps to put the html code on your blog to show single books or many books at the same time. Be sure to choose books that are related to your blog topic.

5. Self-written books and eBooks

Your own self written books are the best way to monetize your blog when it is new. The reason is, when you first start blogging, you won’t be getting much traffic. The upside is people will be visiting your blog looking for information, on your blogs topic. When you offer blog visitors more information in the form of one of your books/eBooks, chances are you will make the sale. See how that all works out nicely?

6. Promoting your own blog products

Build your own Business Blog Today!

  Say I enjoy making Jewelry out of natural products. I could promote some Jewelry making tools and some of my handmade wooden Jewelry from my blog. It doesnt necessarily have to be jewelry that you promote, it could be anything related to your hobby/business blog. Could be hand made dog collars, handmade picture frames etc. The great thing about your hand made items is that you can then go and promote them on www.etsy.com too. Etsy is a market place for handmade crafts.

7. Email marketing

Email marketing is one of the leading ways people are making money with their blogs online. One great website to visit if you intend to market via email is www.Aweber.com, they offer some great tips advice and services to help bloggers market their products and services via email marketing.

What does "Organic email marketing mean?"

Organic email marketing is when Blog visitors subscribe to your blog, each time you put out new content through your blog post, and make special offers to your email subscribers, and or give free tips and advice on your blogs topic, your subscribers will get a notification to their email inbox. The basis for making money with "organic" email marketing is that your subscribers already know you and are already interested in your blog Topic. Therefore to make a sale from your blog list is easy as pie, with organic email marketing. Be sure to start building your list by putting a "subscribe" button on your blog. Visit www.aweber.com for superior blog subscription tools. Many people on line buidl great email lists through aweber.

8. Combination blog monetization

"

"Combination" blog monetization is the best way to monetize your blog and make cash. Do not restrict your blog to only one way of making money. Offer various products, and books/eBooks on your blog to maximize your selling opportunities, and catch the attention of site visitors with various tastes.

What about Adsense?

Adsense is a form of blog monetization that many bloggers online have gotten rich! However only if your blog domain name is over say 8 years old, and has a lot of content and pages will your blog make substantial money from adsense. Caution: You cannot use clickbank /adsense, or any other third party coding to your wordpress.com (free) blog. Please read wordpress.com terms of service before you begin blogging. If you violate their terms your blog can suddenly disappear. Visit https://www.google.com/adsense/app?hl=en_US#home to learn more
