1. Choose A Niche:
The first step will be always be the most important one and if you do it right, then it will serve as a platform for your success. Likewise, to make money online with a blog, you need to choose a niche which you are knowledgeable and passionate about. If you have strong knowledge in Football and if you are passionate about it, then choose this as your niche.2. Build Contents:
Once you select a niche, the second step is build quality and killer contents for that niche. Spend time to write at least 14 – 16 articles (high quality ones) every month that focus on the niche. You can write controversial articles too since they are the ones which will attract a lot of readers. Now select four articles from the total number and keep them in a separate folder since they will be used for guest posting.3. Publish Contents:
If you have bought a web space and if you have already setup a self hosted WordPress blog, start publishing content in them. If not go to GoDaddy (most preferred domain registrar) and get a domain which comes under your niche. Now go to HostGator (most preferred web hosting service provider for the newbie bloggers) and get a shared hosting account and setup a WordPress blog for your domain and start publishing contents on a regular basis, like three or four articles a week for four weeks. One thing which you need to take care here is, changing the default theme of your blog to a one which suits your niche.4. Build Traffic:
Building traffic is an essential task and for this you can use the guest blogging technique. Submit the four articles which you have for guest posting on the similar niche blogs on a regular basis, since they will be pivotal in generating traffic for your blog. Also make sure to comment on the niche blogs which have dofollow top commentator’s widget, since getting into that list will serve as a backlink to your blog and it will help you to drive more traffic.5. Use Social Media:
Create a Facebook Fan Page and Twitter account for your blog and try to build a following. Post interesting news, facts, etc., related to your niche in both your Twitter account and Facebook Fan Page and try to build more followers and fans. This will certainly increase the social media activity of your blog which in turn helps to the promotion of your blog to a new level. Also, bookmark all your articles at social bookmarking sites like Digg, Stumbleupon, etc., and get your friends to do the same for your articles.6. Interact With Readers:
Interacting with your readers or visitors by replying to their comments on your blog or by responding to their Tweets or by replying to their Facebook Status updates, will make them interested and visit your blog again and again. This will also increase the reader’s engagement in your blog which in turn increase your blog’s authority.7. Monetize:
Once you have the reader’s trust and if you start receiving a good number visitors, then it will be time to monetize your blog. Place some contextual adverts in your blog articles along with some affiliate links of products which are related to your niche. Try to keep the Adverts away from your contents as far as possible and make sure to not use more than one affiliate link per article.Make sure to repeat the steps 2 – 7 until you achieve your true success. Although there are great tips available out there related to blogging and making money online, I hope this guide serves as a beginner’s guide to make money online with a blog.
