WHY DID I START TO DO THE BLOGGING?
The answer is simple, I wanted to see if it was realistic to earn money without leaving my home. Can those who are unable to leave their home earn money? This is very important for me to know. But how to start blogging for free?
May I earn extra and thus increase my income? May I say goodbye to my boss and be my own boss? May I support my family and afford expensive trips or treatment for myself and my loved ones? May I be free and organize my time as I want? The answer is YES!
SOMETHING ABOUT ONLINE EARNINGS
There are many posts on the internet and many tips on how to make money online. Of course, some of them earn a lot, some decently, and some so little that they eventually give up. So it’s not a lie that you can make money online, you just have to be persistent and not give up.
But remember, money is earned only through hard work and persistence. Forget everything else that is offered to you over the internet as quick and easy money. You will lose both time and money! If you want to trade in the stock market or cryptocurrencies, you need a lot of experience and knowledge. Of course, it is not impossible either, but first, train well for such a way of earning, but be prepared to invest both time and money.
WHAT IS THE AFFILIATE MARKETING?
The only sure way to try and not lose anything is Affiliate marketing. You can start without a single dollar in your pocket! You can deal with affiliate marketing in many ways. You are actually selling products that can be found in online stores at exactly the same price, and those online stores give you a small percentage in return for advertising their products. So you just direct them to the page of an online store with the help of the link you get when you sign a contract with that online store, which also costs nothing.
One of the best ways to advertise products and merchandise is by blogging. More precisely, you create your own website and publish your stories or posts. You write about a topic that is unique to you or something that you like to write about. Don’t worry about whether you are a good writer or not. It is only important that you tell the audience what you want and that the audience understands you. Sometimes simple writing is more acceptable to people because they are looking for something they need, for good advice and not for literary works. So don’t worry, it’s important to start and with time you will understand how everything gets easier and easier. Some even go so far as to pay others to write posts for them.
Imagine, for example, a sporting goods store with a large window. It’s your website! What you write is actually a medium that should attract visitors and audiences. How much money would you need if you really wanted to open a sporting goods store?
And remember, you are creating a long-term business, a business that takes time to build but the income can be long-lasting.
THE BEAUTY OF WRITING
We used to write diaries and leave our feelings, observations and a part of ourselves there. Writing frees us and inspires us. Why not do something similar? Tell me what’s better than sitting comfortably in your home and writing about something you love or would talk about with your friends. About gardening or sports or love or pets or whatever else. Perhaps you had the desire to study for a certain profession because you have a great interest in it, but for many reasons, you did not succeed. Now is your chance to explore that area in depth add to your knowledge and present it to an audience. And even you can earn! So you can adapt everything to your post and present it to the audience.
WHAT IS NICHE?
The most important thing to choose is a niche, and that is actually the topic you will be dealing with on your website. Within that site, you post links to online stores. If you write about sports you will advertise sports equipment or if you write about books you will advertise the books you have read or the books should read. You will not start making money right away. It takes some time or about two to three months and you can expect decent earnings. But you never know, maybe what you write will quickly find its audience. You need to write at least two posts per week. The more you write, the greater the chance that your blog will reach the audience and you earn money. It’s the hardest until you start! Over time, you get a routine and everything gets easier.
What is needed to be successful in blogging:
1. Hosting. First, you have to choose a company that will host your blog. So hosting is a service that keeps your blog and protects it from enemies (hackers).
2. Write with love. You must be familiar with the topic you are writing about or even have a passionate relationship with that topic. So write about what you love, what readers really feel and adore. Try to give the audience as much useful information or even personal experiences as possible. Write as much as possible to relax and enjoy what you are writing because writing is a habit. Write only from a personal point of view and do not criticize others.
3. Find an audience for your blog. Your blog will certainly be found on Google or another search engine like Bing or Yahoo, but in order to speed up the process, you can use social networks and groups that deal with your topic.
4. Make contracts with online stores, and there are so many of them on the network, and almost all of them offer affiliate programs. The commission varies from 7% and even up to 70%! For example, Nike gives one of the highest commissions.
5. Research. Research is necessary for anything and everything you write about because blogging is not only about educating and informing others, but also about learning new things. No matter how much knowledge you have about certain things, there is always a place for more. The more you research, the better you will write.
6. Originality. Your texts must be your own and not copied from other sites.
7. Leave your email at the end of the text and be sure to reply to the comments, because that’s the only way you can establish a good connection with your readers.
7. Plan! The most important thing in business is planning. Think about your plan well. It can be a daily or weekly or monthly plan. Plan what you are going to write and that way you will organize yourself more easily. Don’t forget that a well-designed plan is half the work done!
To succeed in business, you need to have a good partner program at hand where you can build your business. Many affiliate programs on the market offer hosting services and training members. And here we have to be careful to make the best decision. Some of them are expensive, some are unreliable and some require at least a little prior knowledge.
