If you want to monetize your blog, that is, you want your blog to be a source of income for you, let me tell you first hand, it’s not easy work as you may expect. You got to have a passion for what you are writing in your blog. You should not jump on to a subject for your blog. You should visualize yourself 12 months from now and still be having the passion to get on with your blog. It should not be like that diary writing that you often wished you had continued but never took off.
Always remember,
Before starting a blog, you should decide on the topic of your blog. That is what should be the content of your blog? It after all, decides how successful your blog will be. You may choose to write about your passions and daily life. But remember, you want other people to read your blog and get interested in it. Only then, will you get visitors or traffic to your blog. Monetizing your blog depends largely on the amount of traffic your blog holds. So you see, making money from a blog ultimately comes down to what you choose as the blog’s topic.
Sure, if you are a good writer, even if you post your reactions about current events, you will get a good amount of readers. But what you won’t get is traffic from search engines, because so few people search Google for “a current even readable blog”. Also, you don’t want to choose a wide subject so that you end touching this and that. In effect, choose something you are comfortable with, yet would arouse an interest in an unknown reader.
In short you should choose a topic with the following key factors;
(1) You know the topic
(2) You like the topic
(3) There is an audience for the topic
(4) The topic has a business value
(5) You can supply new content or add value to existing content
(6) Your topic is not a dead end topic; you can keep the content fresh
(7) You can build a community with the topic
Some useful topics for a blog are listed below; you can take it as a guide or choose your own subject,
Computer programming, cooking tips, astrological predictions, old question paper banks, campus interview papers, softwares for mobiles, your collection of striking ads.
Many of the above have a few hundred blogs listed about them, but if you know what you are writing about, you are sure to get traffic. So choose well.
Always remember,
“Winners never quit and Quitters never win”
