Blogging for Profit Begins With a Long Term Plan

A large number of folks out there dream of making money blogging, which is truly not out
of the reach of any ordinary person. With a good work ethic and a strong understanding of
the technology available for blogging a person can have success. The unfortunate thing is
that very few folks every make any money with their blogging efforts. There are two basic
reasons that attribute to this failure.

  • Many bloggers misunderstand the time required to build up a readership. This in turn leads to frustration for them with how little money they make blogging. The level of frustration felt by the blogger can lead that person to quit blogging.

  • A lack of planning leads to the failure rate of bloggers that want to make money blogging. If a person wants to make money blogging, the way to success is to put a realistic plan in place and stick with it.

In order to make money blogging, the blog must create a large following. The more people that
are following a blog leads to being able to make more from advertising. Keeping regular visitors
coming back to the blog though is no easy task. With more blogs showing up on the radar on a
daily basis, a blogger is no longer able to just rely on a terrific subject or great writing style. The
blogger of today needs to learn how to market their blog effectively.

A blogger can no longer spend all their time just writing posts. A larger amount of the bloggers time needs to be spent marketing their blog. Without a doubt posting to the blog often can help to maintain the blog high withing the blogrolls and search engines such as Technorati. By posting
often the blogger will have visitors that will return to the blog often to check out the new content being posted. But if no one is visiting the blog, the posting rate will not matter. Spend time getting visitors to the site!

In order for a blogger to realize their aspirations of making money blogging:

1. post less often
2. spend the more time getting links
3. spend more of your time networking with other bloggers within the community
4. start using the other established ways of drawing in traffic.

Just realize that even if you are a marketing wonder, have the best subject matter for the blog, that success making money blogging is not going to come about overnight. Growing a large enough audience to make money blogging will probably take several months prior to seeing a large income. So the blogger needs to stay the course during this growth phase. The blogger can keep up their motivation by setting goals on how often they will update their posts. What the readership goals are for the blog. Then reward them self for a job well done by sticking to the plan.
