To make money blogging you've got to be able to do a few things really well. Then just do those few things over and over again.
Get your process down where you're an expert in your niche. If you aren't already an expert, do your research...become an expert. Write about it. Blog about it. Expand your knowledge about your topic...Rinse and repeat as they say.


Article writing is one of the top most effective ways to get traffic to your blog and/or website and the good news it's free. As a beginning author. please understand that almost every new author will have to go through the same obstacles and will be blocked by editors multiple times until writing articles that are approved. It is worth the effort!

In my opinion, you should hone your writing skills by writing content for your blog.
To use your blog to it's full potential, it should provide a steady stream of fresh content. If this content is written and managed properly, blogs have the ability to increase a website's ranking in the search engines.


Blogging gives you an arena to vent your emotions, express your knowledge, pass on news, tips, etc. about your chosen niche.
You can support your blog with photo and video or movie clip materials.
You probably already know that people's eyes are drawn to pictures. That is just a fact. So you want to have multimedia (pictures of you, cool pics of landmarks or events like sunsets, videos, audio.

Here a few tips to make the most of your blog:

Titles matter most. You only have seconds to grab the attention anyone browsing your blog. Use keywords and catchy titles to draw readers in. Blog post titles can be bolded for emphasis and white space should be used to buffer the content. Few website visitors actually read blog posts; most simply scan a blog entry to determine its relevance or point. With that in mind, the blog posts should be displayed in short paragraphs. Overly long posts should be segmented into concise paragraphs or broken into bulleted lists to make scanning easier.


Grammar does matter. You will be judged by your knowledge and use of the English language. Search engines will make note of blog entries that lack proper punctuation or capitalization. If a blog post does not respect the rules of grammar and punctuation, it is possible search engines will make the assumption that a bot cobbled together the posts leading to a potential ban.Http://www.ohtheblog.com
In order to prosper from a blog, be sure to host it on your own domain. Hosting the blog on your own server will maximize the links to your website. Link popularity is one of the factors search engines use to rank websites.

RSS Feeds All blogs should have an RSS feed. An RSS feed will allow for your blog posts to be easily syndicated. The syndication will result in links back to your blog from RSS directories or others who display the feed. Blog entries should be available via an RSS feed. Website visitors who subscribe to the feed will receive notification when new blog posts are added. If the title is of interest, they will click through to your website. This gives subscribers an easy way to know when a blog has been updated.
