Follow your passion… Blogging Business
You can be a successful blogger by following your passion. If you are doing what you love and sharing it with the world, then you will never work a day in your life because it won’t feel like work! We would guide you how to start your blogging business.
I know this is controversial advice because everyone talks about how hard blogging is and how there’s no money in blogging, but it’s not true! When you do something that makes you happy, success is guaranteed.
When you’re passionate about something, it doesn’t matter if other people think it’s stupid or worthless—you’ll find a way to make money from it anyway!
This sounds too good to be true but trust me: It works every single time! My advice? Don’t base your business decisions on making money first; start a business only if it aligns with what makes *YOU* happy.
Decide What Business You Want To Start…
Digital marketing and SEO are essential to any business, regardless of whether you have a website. These strategies help you attract visitors to your website and then convert them into customers.

Digital marketing includes social media advertising and promoting, paid advertising on search engines such as Google and Facebook ads. These strategies help introduce new visitors to your website so that they can learn about what you sell or offer, who you are as a business owner/blogger/website owner, etc., before deciding whether or not they want to buy from you.
SEO is the practice of using specific keywords on your own blog posts in order for those posts to appear higher in organic search results than other similar businesses’. This means that if someone types “dog food” into Google’s search bar (or another popular search engine), yours will show up first because it has been optimized with those keywords!
Define Goals
When you start a business, it’s important to define your goals. You may want to become the next Oprah or Dr. Oz; others may simply want to supplement their income while they stay at home with their kids. Defining your goal is also the first step in creating a plan for achieving that goal and writing down all of your ideas can help you stay focused on what matters most (and even give you some inspiration).
Once your goals are set, be sure to tell someone else about them so that they can hold you accountable—especially if there are people in your life who might discourage or criticize those dreams out of fear for how far-fetched they might seem.
Once you’ve defined what success looks like for yourself, make sure those goals are SMART: Specific (what exactly will happen?), Measurable (how will I know when I’ve reached my objective?), Achievable/Attainable (is this something I could realistically achieve?), Relevant (does this align with what I want), Time-based (when do I have time for this?)
Publish Quality Content & Create A Community Around It
Publishing high quality content is critical to your blog’s success. It doesn’t matter how you publish it, but by publishing high quality content for your audience, you are creating a community of readers. You will also be providing value to them and helping them solve problems that they may have. This can lead them down the path of becoming loyal readers and customers for your business.
You need to be consistent with your content creation as well. The more regular your blog posts are published, the more opportunities there will be for people to engage with them (and hopefully subscribe). If they know what day and time they can expect new articles from you then they know when they should check back in! And don’t forget about length: short snippets aren’t going to do much for anyone (that includes people coming across your site through search engines)…but long-form articles might just capture their attention instead!
Develop An Email List
Develop an email list. Email lists are a powerful tool for any business, but they can be particularly helpful for bloggers. Email is one of the most direct and effective ways to communicate with your audience, so it’s important that you have a way to collect their contact information in case you want to reach out again. If you don’t already have an email list, start building one now before launching your blog.
If you’re new to blogging and aren’t sure how to get started with building an email list, we’ve got some great tips below!
Test Mobile Performance
Once you’ve launched a blog, it’s important to test your site’s mobile performance. You should be able to open your blog on any device and have a positive user experience. In other words, if someone is viewing your site on a smartphone or tablet, they shouldn’t be frustrated by clunky navigation or slow page load times.
To test this aspect of your business, visit the following URLs:
-
- https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/#pagetest – This is where Google provides information about how their bot sees your website from various devices and browsers (and whether or not it passes the mobile-friendly test).
-
- https://www.siteproofapp.com/ – This tool will analyze how fast each page loads for different users and allows you to see how each page performs under different conditions (such as being accessed from an Android phone).
Post High-Quality Images On Your Blog Posts
Post high-quality images on your blog posts. Images can be of a high-quality even if they are not in high resolution. The content of the image and how it resonates with the article is more important than the pixel count.
Use relevant, interesting images that fit well with your content. Don’t go overboard with lots of stock images or random photos from Google; this will make it look like you don’t know what you’re doing, which will turn readers off from reading any more of your work.
Mix up your blog posts by using different types of images (e.g., screenshots, cartoons/illustrations, graphics), and try not to repeat the same type over and over again for every post (unless you have an entire series about something).
Create A Great Blog That Helps You Earn Money Through Affiliate Programs And Monetize Traffic.
Now that you have a nice blog, it’s time to monetize your traffic. You can do this in a few ways:
-
- Affiliate programs – These are programs where you make money when people click on links and buy products or services. There are many different types of affiliate programs, and they range from very basic (like Amazon Associates) to more complex ones that require you to build an audience first before getting accepted into them.
-
- Ads – If you decide against joining an affiliate program, there are other ways to make money with your blog. One way is by putting ads on it. Some bloggers only put ads on their websites if the posts themselves provide enough value for readers so that they won’t mind seeing them at all times (such as sponsorships), but others will incorporate advertising no matter what type of content they write about because it brings in extra revenue.
-
- Selling services – Another option would be selling services through your site like coaching sessions or digital courses/workshops/books etc.. This could include anything from coaching clients one-on-one via Skype or FaceTime calls all the way up until large scale virtual conferences where people pay thousands dollars each year just for access!
Once these things are done successfully then we can move onto reaching out into different communities outside our own circle first before trying something new like starting up a business so let’s get started!
