Many people venture into blogging, some for the purpose of making money, some as a hobby,

But not all of them end up as successful bloggers,

As a matter of fact, studies show that 60% of blogs registered yearly were abandoned before they reached their first year,

Why is this?

Let’s find out…

Blogging or should I say the idea of blogging fascinates a lot of people so much.

Hearing about other bloggers who have made it big in the blogging industry and have gone as far as creating 6 figure businesses through their blogs is enough to give people the boost they need to create their own blogs ASAP.

But what happens after you create a blog and you are stuck?

What happens when you get tired of writing about the same thing that 6 figure blogger you admire likes to write about?,

Or when you get tired of the tasks involved in blogging?

In this post,

I will be sharing with you the top 8 tips to keep you at the top of your game when blogging to make money.

If You Are Blogging To Make Money, You’ll Want To…

1.  Write About What You Love Learning About

For you to be a successful blogger,

You need to write about something that you love,

So if you can’t stop talking about movies, about shoes or fashion, choose a blog topic about that.

The worst mistake you can make in your blogging journey is choosing to write about something that you really hate just because you feel that it will bring you money,

You will eventually get tired of it, it will become a chore and you will dread the days when you need to write a blog post.

Asides that, your readers can tell that you have little to no clue what you are talking about, or if your post sounds like a well-researched essay.

Picking something that you love to talk about helps you share your own unique point of view on a particular topic and because you love this topic so much,

You know a lot about it, this knowledge well versed in one area is what people are looking for.

It places you as an expert in that field or topic and helps you find your target audience faster by helping people who are interested in the same thing to find you.

When you write about something you love, chances are you will never get tired to make a new post or share a new idea you have.

2.  Be Sure To Invest In Your Blog, When Blogging To Make Money.

Now wait, am not saying go crazy and purchase a subscription to every single software that claims to help grow your blog (a mistake I was once guilty of until I realized,

I didn’t really need all the software’s in the world hehe)

What I mean is this,

You need to take a really good luck at your blog and look at what it really needs and then search for software that help you solve that problem without breaking the bank.

It could be a new theme that makes your blog look and feel more professional or gives it that touch you want it to have, or a plugin that you absolutely cannot do without.

Nevertheless, before purchasing any software for your blog,

Make sure you have done your research,

Because the chances are that there might be an even better software that does just the thing you want,

And what’s more? , it might even be free!.

Take your time and don’t rush your purchases to avoid making decisions that you might regret.

3.  Study Your Target Audience

To become a successful blogger is to become a good writer, sales man or woman,

A good marketer and a whole bunch of other stuff, but most of all its being a good marketer.

Knowing everything about your target audience is the key to running a really successful blog,

Knowing what age range your target audience is,

Which country majority of them are from, what time they are online,

How they react to your content, what content they are searching for etc.

Helps you provide the information your specific user demographic really needs.

Conduct research for your audience by giving your subscribers or people who visit your blog,

Create questionnaires to help find out what they are searching for and how well your content is helping them solve a problem or meet a need.

Know your customer as well as you know your product.

4.  When Blogging To Make Money, Never Stop Learning

Running a successful blog isn’t something that just happens, nobody was born a successful blogger or a 6 figure blogger,

They all worked hard, and learned all they could and didn’t give up through trial and error.

For you to become a pro at anything in life,

You need to open your mind to be able to absorb as much information as you can about that thing you are interested in.

Absorbing information isn’t enough. You need to apply it.   

– Jennifer C.N

Being a successful blogger is about finding out as much as you can about blogging from the experts,

Never underestimate the power of information,

It can be the difference between success and failure.

Learn about mistakes other bloggers have made and avoid them,

Find out what they are doing that’s making them successful and do it too,

Follow in their footsteps, and don’t be afraid to ask for help or for information.

5.  Build a Trust-Worthy Relationship with Your Audience Using Your Email List

The internet has become so crowded with information that it has become so hard to find real authentic information and one that isn’t designed to sell a product.

This makes it harder for readers to trust whatever they see.

You need to build a certain level of trust with your audience,

This is what will keep them coming back to you, show them that you are different by putting value and quality over sales and income,

Provide real answers and solve problems and let your results speak for themselves.

Have email conversations with your audience,

Ask questions and take their advice and recommendations,

Chances are you might just be the one to give them exactly what it is they are looking for or what it is they need.

6.  Post Relevant, Updated and Evergreen Content

Becoming a successful blogger has a lot to do with your blog posts,

Writing regular relevant updated and evergreen blog posts helps distinguish you from other bloggers.

Make sure to update old blog posts to make sure that they are still applicable at any time and anyone can read them and use the information in them.

Make sure that all your posts maintain a consistent level of uniqueness and value that your brand or your blog represents.

Take a tour of your posts from time to time to make sure they are up to date as much as they can be

7. When Blogging To Make Money, Focus on Your Blog Growth, Not How Fast Others Who Started With You Have Grown

It’s easy to get carried away looking at other bloggers who started the same time as you and start doubting yourself,

Thinking “maybe this isn’t meant for me” but it’s like I always say, only those who go far, know how far they can go.

Relax, take your time, it’s not a race,

Know that, you don’t have the same niche or writing method, theme etc with others,

You are your own person.

Don’t get too busy comparing your success with others that you forget to give your attention to your own success

– Jennifer C.N

Give attention to your blog and your content, post consistently,

Market your content, and take it one day at a time

One day you will be surprised at how far you have come when you look back.

8. Never Give Up.

People who give up, never get anywhere and I say this with experience because I was once guilty of this,

Tell yourself that giving up isn’t an option, and tell yourself that you can do this,

That you won’t give up just yet.

Tell yourself that you have come this far and you will go even further,

That you will definitely make mistakes but that you will learn from it and grow to be much better than you are now.

Always tell yourself that you need to give it just one more chance before you quit and hopefully someday you will forget about quitting.

Here are some really good motivational quotes to stop you from giving up.

Conclusion

The journey of starting a blog isn’t a simple one, especially if you are blogging for money.

You will run into problems along the way, like a lot!

You are going to face website issues, content issues, traffic issues and so much more, but its all a part of the process,

The most important thing is to not give up on any of the stages you are in.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions when you don’t know the answer or make mistakes because its very important that you do.
