Blogging For Profit - Is It Actually Achievable?

By Dennis Checkowish


It's inconceivable to visualize a world without blogs and social networking with the latest developments in Internet marketing. It's tough to believe that some of these developments have only been around for a while. For instance, WordPress made its debut in 2003 and today, it has millions of users globally. When it initially became popular, people simply considered blogging as having an online diary and did not think how it would become such a comprehensive online business tool. In this article, we will look at self-hosted WordPress blogs and how they can be monetized.

The moment you resolve to put up your own blog site, you will need to evaluate the theme of your site and how lucrative it is. This is especially the case if you are viewing one web site to be your main source of earnings. You will want to be known as an authority in the target market you opt. This may be a wonderful way for you to go if you have specialized knowledge in a certain field or are passionate about a specific topic. There are many online marketers who maintain their own blogs to allow them to promote their name or brand.

If you have valuable content, your blog will be considered as a resource for people to return to. When you are getting a regular flow of return visitors, you have a perfect opportunity to monetize this with your own recommendations or products. There is a difficult balance between too little and too much promotion. By giving quality free content, your readers will be more likely to trust you when it comes to purchasing something you recommend.

With the extensive development of WordPress, a lot of people are today easily using it to make niche mini blogs. As soon as you discover a good market to compete in, all you need to do is obtain a domain name that corresponds with your term precisely and use WordPress to put up your site. We term this as a mini site since depending on the niche competition, you may need only a few posts to actually get your blog site ranking high in the search engines.

As soon as you determine your promotion strategies, you can start to make profits with your blog sites. You can advertise with programs such as Google AdSense or even make your own products if you can't find affiliate products you would like to promote. It may be that you combine all of these. The crucial thing to keep in mind is that as these are self-hosted WordPress web sites, you are the owner of those sites and so they can become an asset. These virtual real estate web site could potentially bring a good price when you put them up for sale on website auction sites.
