Making money online has been a wish for millions across the world. In today’s web there are literally thousands of different ways to make money online. With the creation of blogger and wordpress starting a blog is one of the ways someone without web development experience can build a web presence and readership making it pretty easy to build and income. A blogger will of course first have to establish their blog as an authority using the creation of unique helpful well written content. The problem with starting a new blog is the same as any other presence. In the majority of cases it will take many months before Google and other major search engines begin trusting the web presence which means to rank well and build organic traffic will take some time.

Before your blog becomes the ultimate resource you will need content. The reason blogs do so well in search engines and within the social media world is they are usually constantly updated giving visitors a reason to subscribe to the content and come back over and over. This is great for people wanting to make money since no longer will they have someone visit their web presence once never to be seen again. The reason it is easier to make money with blogs is your subscribers hold a certain amount of trust and when you recommend a program or product they are much more likely to believe you compared with someone coming to your website for the first time. The key to building a readership for your blog is content creation. You will need to be producing content at the very least once a week and make the content well researched as well as provocative.

Don’t expect your readership or traffic to explode overnight with a couple of blog posts. In most cases it will take hundreds if not thousands of posts before you begin seeing traffic build. It is also necessary to begin marketing your website building links from external sources which will help your blog within the search engines. One rule I have found in blogging is external links are great, but the majority should come from link bait which means it is fine to spend a little time submitting your website to blog directories and social bookmarking, but if you really want to succeed making your content so good other webmasters and bloggers link to it is key. Learning all of this takes time and should be practiced on a regular basis. If possible spend time each and every day writing and writing. This is a great time to try different types of articles and writing styles. Make sure to track your reader stats and traffic stats to find which types of articles and styles provide the best results then attempt to duplicate the articles on different topics. Once you have a large readership making money will be as simple as including google adsense or an affiliate program closely associated with your niche.
