Earning by blogging is possible and one can really earn enough to become a full time blogger. Many people have left their 9Am to 5PM jobs and started blogging full time from comfort of their home at free time or at leisure. They are able to devote more time with their families, enjoy watching their children grow up, going to school and learning!
Wow, everyone would like this kind of life style! I think everybody would jump at starting a blog and earn online! Many have done so and stopped blogging when they find few visitors coming to their site and few dollars coming from Google AdSense and tons of affiliate account!
My suggestion would be to, never try to earn by blogging or even be optimistic about earning money online by blogging if you are not a businessman or a good offline marketing guy! Here is why :-
1. Not everybody is a good writer
To be a good blogger, one must write well and in English. There are people who are good, really expert in their chosen fields, but they may not be good in putting their thought, expertise in simple, plain English. It is not always easy to make other people understand what you are trying to say. Though, one may improve with time, experience and practice, but it may take a long time before you start actually start making money from your blogs.
2. One has to be good in investment
Money attracts money. It is true for any online business or using blog as earning money too. Even though one may be expert in SEO ( Search Engine Optimization), good in writing English, still he may have to advertise his website, articles online as well as offline. So, if you may think this cost of advertising or promoting your blog as investment. A good businessman is the one who knows how, where, on what and how much to invest money for good return! For example, if your blog has earning potential of maximum $300 a month, no good businessman would invest $100 in its promotion.
So, one should have good understanding of investing and return.
3. Identify correct niche
One has to identify where one has experience, knowledge and some authority so that people take him seriously. If one starts a personal blog and then hope to earn thousands, that would not happen until he is a celebrity in movies, sports! Sadly, those people do not need to earn money by blogging in the first place.
4. Sell things with value addition
When you are trying to sell in your blog, are you adding any value addition to it? Why would a person buy from you when he has options to buy the same product from any other websites or blogs ?
So, if you are not adding any value to a product or service through your blog, most probably, you will make sales, but not many to earn handsomely from your blog.
5. Internet Technology Know how
One should learn some technical skills about blogging platform, making presentation, preparing sale pitch etc. This will help not only in cutting cost, but also increase productivity. One should also know about keywords, links etc, even if not an expert.
6. Inspirations and hard work
Yes, you need both of these to earn from blogging, too. My suggestion would be to keep reading great blogs about earning from blog, making money online and other established and famous blogs.
Finally, hard work pays, everywhere online or offline.
