How To Make Money Blogging

You know there are a lot of people out there who talk about making money blogging or with websites and it’s funny because sometimes they demonstrate better with their actions than with their words. People talk about black hat SEO techniques that bring you nothing but grief from google, and rightfully so. If you put junk out on the internet then you deserve junk rankings. I mean think about what google wants to do, deliver the best and most relevant search results to their searchers. Sure google uses links to find out what sites are the best, and anchored links to find what is relevant but the only reason they do that is because the robots they use can’t tell by themselves what is good content and what is bad.

Anyway think about it… Why do you read the blogs? You read the blogs because they provide accurate and valuable content! What do you do with the content after you’ve read it? You tell your friends about it. You write about it on your blog. Your friends link to it with social networking tools. Eventually your content erupts and people all over the world are sending you links ORGANICALLY! This type of content can be referred to as linkbait as by many other names, but what it really comes down to it you are just giving the reader what they want.

Ok so that comes to the point of the post. Produce high quality linkworthy content and google will rank your content high in the search engine; rewarding your good content with visitors to your site. This isn’t just the best way, it’s the only way to produce consistent results.

The biggest rule of internet marketing is “make google look stupid and they will get you eventually, make google look smart and they will reward you.” What you really need to do to make money online is produce content that a community will want to form around. To do this here are a few suggestions:

1. A good title goes a long way. Something catchy works well, but nothing is better than clarity.
2. Start with the basics. People want a one stop shop when they are getting information so start with the basics and work towards more complicated topics.
3. Answer logical questions. The internet is all about questions, I mean when you do a search what you are usually doing is asking a question with keywords. Anticipate and answer the questions people might ask about your content.
4. Make your posts well thought out and well edited. People don’t want to read a bunch of mixed up circular stuff with poor grammar. As my grade 10 teacher said “write using good proper English.”

I hope I’ve given you some good ideas as to how you can make money blogging by writing with good content. There is no other good way to grow a website for long term success then with top notch content. So get writing!
