What are you waiting for? Start that blog and make money

Introduction to Blogging

Blogging is the act of writing, expressing, blotting out your feelings and your views to the world. Blogging is beyond just writing and posting, blogging is how you feel about a particular thing, blogging is your passion.

When I started blogging, I was very young, I was very young, I never had the passion to blog, but along the line, as time went on, the passion for blogging grew in me. I did not go into blogging because I had the passion; I went into blogging because I heard that blogging paid fine. Hahaha. That mentality of making money quickly in blogging has a very drastic impact on me.

What is a Blog?

A Blog is a web log where a person (Blogger) publishes his or her articles for the benefit of others (His or her audience). Blog is formed from the word web log.

            Now, there is a clear difference between a blog and a Website.

When a person logs into a Blog, the first thing you get to see there is the Name of the Blog, thereafter you see the most recent Articles that was published by the owner of that Blog. But for a website, the first thing you get to see is in a website are Navigation Bar, Directions, portfolio e.t.c

Now, I guess you now know the Difference between a Blog and a Website.

Going into Blogging

Now, before you start a blog, there are certain questions you need to ask yourself. Amongst them are;

1. Do you have the Passion for blogging?

            Before you start a blog, you need to have a passion for it. You can’t just go into blogging without having a passion for it. Otherwise, you will end up making the same mistakes I made when I started.

            I started blogging without having the passion for it, I went into blogging because of money, I failed a lot because I taught I will start making money immediately I start blogging. It was after a long time that I realized that I really needed to work first, before thinking of making money or generating fame as a blogger.

            So if you have the passion for blogging then what are you waiting for, just go into blogging without having enough passion for it. It’s possible for you to develop your self as you Blog on. But the best way to start is to develop yourself towards blogging. (Your passion)

2. What niche of blogging do you have passion for?

            A niche is an aspect of Blogging you chose to blog about or to go into. There are so many niches. Some of them are listed below;

1. Marketing
2. Housing
3. Business
4. Banking
5. Entrepreneurship
6. Agriculture
7. Entertainment (Gossip, music, fashion, videos)
8. Beauty
9. Travel

The above mentioned Niches are the different aspect of blogging someone can think of going into, remember, it depends on your passion.

 

 

 

 Picking your blog niche.

Picking your blog niche depends on your Ability to efficiently manage a particular niche. If you decide to go into news and magazine niches then you have to be ready to work tirelessly and efficiently because your viewers (audience) need to be updated on a daily basis. You can’t be a news blogger and then update your blog two times in a week, I bet you, you won’t get an encouraging traffic (views).

There are some blogging niches that pays fine according to some persons, examples are

1. Banking, business and finance
2. Relationship and Lifestyle
3. Health and well being

Those above mentioned niches pay’s fine if well managed. You can also build out a niche for yourself which may even pay more than the above mentioned niches. But remember, “If managed well”

Building your Blog Niche

Building your blog niche is like building a house; your house will only protect you, if you build it well. That’s how building a blog Niche looks like. If you really want to earn from your blog, then be ready to work day and night on your niche.

Steps to building a successful Blog Niche

Here are some steps necessary for building a blog niche

1. Identify the problem people are facing

            In identifying problems that people are facing, you need to study them very well, identify the major cause of that problem and the effect of that problem on the people. e.g Heath problems – HIV/AIDS. Find out some of the effects of this problem and how people can avoid them.

2. Discover and unravel how to solve that problem

            This is where the major work in building a successful Niche comes in. You have to ensure that you solve the problems people are finding difficult in that community, country or state. After discovering how to solve a problem, the next thing to do is to find out how to avoid that problem. e.g

HIV/AIDS – The Problem

Prevention

Stick to your partner

Cure

Take your drugs daily if you get infected.

By doing these things, I think your journey to building a successful niche will be accomplished.

3. Start seeing problems as money

            When you see problems as money, you get to solve such problems and generate money from them or it. Let’s take an example. Two brothers traveled to a far country. When they go there, they noticed that over 70 percent of people living in that country do not have foot wears to put on. The two brothers were surprised. Brother A saw it as a bad thing, so the next day he told Brother B that he was going to leave that country because he didn’t like what he saw. Brother B, saw it as a problem (money) that needed to be solved urgently. So Brother A and Brother B traveled back to their country.

             

On getting back to their country, Brother B went to a company that manufactures foot wears, and then he bought 100 different types of foot wears, then he traveled back to the country leaving Brother A behind. When Brother B got to the country he introduced the wearing of foot wears to the people in that country, they gladly bought the foot wears from him. At the end of the day Brother B made times 4 of what he spent to purchase the foot wears he sold to the people in that country. The next day he went back to his country and made more foot wears and exported them to the other country in large numbers. That was how he started making cool money just because he was exporting foot wears.

            You see that there is money in problems, so the earlier you start solving problems the richer you become.
