I got an idea of writing this blog post when once again a person asked me How to earn money online. I once again repeated that the same old story. So here it goes again.
It would be nice to indicate that this is not a very easy and fast method of earning online. But still you can make a lot if you are a rite type of person for it.
Its nothing that fancy. Follow these steps :
1)Make a blog like this one
Most of you I guess do not know web designing. But no problem here comes a magic website called a blog. You just don't have to care about its designing and developing. Its a free piece of software that is made for you and you will just have to put your content in it. Most famous of these are Wordpress, Blogger which I am using, ThinkPad and LiveJournal. I suggest you blogger as a beginner . Read my article on why I suggested blogger. Click here to signup for blogger.
2)Select a template
Select a nice and cool looking theme for you blog. It may have a good effect on reader's eye. Your theme should also contain necessary gadgets like recent posts,top comments etc and some icons like that of rss or follow me on twitter. Audience will find it easier to find you. Good theme should be search engine friendly that means your pages have good chances of getting into search engines.
3)Define your target audience
This is perhaps the most difficult part in the initiation of your business. You have to think of one such topic for which you can write more very effortlessly and any time. Apart from this you should also take care that there is a handsome amount of people interested in that topic. So your choice depends upon how well you know a particular subject and how well demanded it is. Try to be unique or at least get into less saturated domain.
4)Start posting quality content regularly
Thats the most toughest part. Start writing and creating content. Create killer posts which attract further visitors for your site. Offer something which in which people may be interested in. Remember audience won't like whatever you like unless they find something of their benefit in it. You can find quality content for your subject from Internet. Do your research and always give your customers value so they become your loyal customers and visit you again. Remember traffic on your blog is directly proportional to quality of your content.
5)Put ads on your blog
You have setup a blog and written few posts for it. Now comes the part on how to earn from it. You can place ads on your blog. There are lots of advertising services available but for a beginner I will suggest Google's adsense. Because most other services have certain traffic requirements which adsense does not cater for. So google's adsense program is perfect. Signup with google adsense. Make ads and paste ad code on your blog. You can track you income,impressions and clicks from your adsense account. Just make sure you comply with adsense term of services. Fake clicks on your own ads and other cheating techniques will get your account banned from this beautiful service. Once you make your $100 they will send you your payment.
6)Marketing and traffic gathering
You have quality content on your blog and ads running. Now what you need is traffic of visitors. Not just visitor I say quality visitors. Marketing doesn't mean you go around on irc or orkut and spam around about your blog. That way you won't get good readers but just passers by who might have no interest in your blog. As a matter of good approach I suggest you following ways to get traffic.
7)Get your reward $$
If you have worked hard then you'll surely get your reward. There are different modes of payment for different advertising services. As far as google ads is concerned you can receive a check or if you live in Pakistan the most feasible mode is of Western union money transfer. You can collect your money from western union as soon as google pays you. But minimum payout for google is 100$.
I wish you all best of luck. If you need any kind of assistance ping me. I will try to help you to my best.
