Creating a Blog for Profit
Creating a blog is fairly easy, as you saw on the how to make money blogging page. What’s harder is picking the topic you want to write on.
Choosing a topic doesn’t seem hard at first; for example, write about your business. But if ten thousand people are also writing about the same business…you’re one of many. How can you stand out from the crowd, and get your audience to notice you?
How to Start a Blog: Choose Your Theme Wisely
There are an unlimited number of subjects for you to pick to blog about. Sometimes it is best to start with something you are familiar with. This way it would be easier to come up with fresh new information to post.
Let’s take dieting as an example. It’s something that many people want to know about, so there is a large potential audience. Unfortunately, there is also a very large supply of dieting blogs! So how can you stand out in this crowd?
Niche Down Your Topic
Continuing with the dieting example, maybe you want to target a specific audience — baby boomers for example. There are a whole lot fewer blogs dedicated to weight loss for baby boomers than for dieting in general.
Hmmm, but there are still a lot of dieting blogs that cover the over 40 crowd. So maybe you want to target people who are over 40 pounds overweight? What are their special needs and problems?
You see where I’m going with this? The more specific your audience, the better chance you have of being found by them.
(And if you want to see a blog that uses this example, check out the blog for Losing Weight Over 40.)
Creating a Blog to be Profitable
Creating a blog is easier once you have your target audience in mind. And it’s also more profitable! And just why is that?
When you have targeted traffic to your blog, several things happen. First, if you use AdSense or YPN on your blog, the advertisements become more targeted as well. The better the ads match your audience, the more likely they will click on them.
Creating a blog that is targeted also means that if you’re selling affiliate (or your own) goods, there is a better chance that the right people will want to buy what you have to sell. Using the dieting example again, the diet products aimed at the 20-something crowd won’t likely be a winner with the over 40 crowd.
