Many are called, few were choosen. This is the story of few bloggers who wants to make money blogging. One of the questions often emailed to me or I see people on Google is "How do you make money bloging" or directly "How do I make money blogging for better search results.
The answer is - it's "easier and harder" than you think. It is easier in the sense that it requires no cash upfront or any technical knowledge. Just go to Blogger to create an account. In a nut shell, the field is wide open.
On the other hand, setting up a successful blog that makes a part-time or full time income will only be the result of massive amounts of effort, termination, consistency and perseverance.
1. Successful Bloggers Are Marathoners, Not Sprinters.
Anyone can be a successful blogger, but unless you’re already a celebrity, there’s no such thing as overnight blogging success. It takes hard work, sweat, and more hard work. It may be a few months before you ever see a penny from your hours of labor invested into your blog.
2. Successful Bloggers Have Incredible Passion.
If you don’t think you could write three posts per week for the next two years on your chosen blog topic, you need to choose either a different topic or a different work-at-home idea.
3. Successful Bloggers Are Self-Starters.
It’s great to learn from others, but if you want to be spoon-fed, you won’t succeed. Roll up your sleeves, start digging and researching. Read books on blogging, read articles on blogging, read blogs on blogging, watch bloggers who are successfully blogging, and do your own experimentation.
4. Successful Bloggers Are Creative.
In a market that is already saturated, fresh and unique voices and approaches are those that will stand head and shoulders above the rest. How are you going to be different from all the other bloggers in your niche?
5. Successful Bloggers Are Consistent.
Readers come back when they can count on you having regularly-updated content. It’s much better to post three times per week every week, than to post thirty times one week every few months.
