Money From Blogging

Almost all blogger start making money at one point of time or the other, or at least they try to make money from their blogs. And then, there also some blogger who start blogs just to try making money from blogs and then give up quickly. But, nothing wrong in starting a new blog with sole purpose of making money, in fact, I would agree that, this is also an interesting and important reason why one should start blogging.

But, starting a new blog does not mean only buying a domain, installing WordPress and then start posting articles! One must be very clear about the “niche blog” that one is going to blog! In order to be very clear, one must do a “research” on his “niche blog topic”.

So, researching should be the first important task in order to start a new blog for making money with it. Now the question is, how to do research step by step :-

1. By researching, one should mainly aim to find already existing blog or website with the same topics. Easiest way is to think about keywords, phrases related to the “niche topic”. One should write down the list of keywords, phrases in all possible ways, interchanging words if a phrase, changing spelling, even making spelling mistakes!

2. The next step is to search those keywords, phrase in Google and visit top 15 results, note down the websites, compare how they are faring for which keywords/phrases in the list #1.

3. Read the contents of the blog or website which are ranking top 10 in majority of the keywords/phrases in the list as in #1 above. This content would give you right direction, help you plan your own content, position your niche blog!

Many of the times, people start blogging without doing much research and that is one of the reasons why one runs out of ideas, feel frustrated for not ranking well for targeted keywords. Researching one’s competition is one of simplest and widely used tricks to beat and stay ahead of competition.
