Make "Blogging" your next business venture



Enough of your hush-hush writings. Now it’s time to be heard. It’s time to reconfirm your thoughts through the world. And what better way than writing your own blog to get the reconfirmation. The icing on the cake is you will make loads of money in the process. Channelize your ideas and present them in a creative way.Write something to not just express yourself but also grab some eyeballs. Think of a topic of your interest and how it would add value to your target audience. Focus your blog around it and build on the readership.

Blogging

Join the band wagon
Various sites like blogger.com, blogspot.com, worldpress.com etc. allow you to create a blog for free. But you don’t get your own domain name rather you work with the subscribed sites . For ex
If you want a personalised domain name, you need to host your blog and pay some annual fee for the service (around $13 per year).

Grab some eyeballs
Popularise your blog through social media, friends, and groups with similar interests on Facebook, comment on other people’s blog so that more people visit your blog through it. Basically, the bottom line is, gain as much viewership as you can. 

Now comes the ‘Money'
Though there are a lot of ways to earn money through your blog but most reliable ones are Google AdSense and Chitika. Google AdSense is a user moderated and easy-to-customize way to earn some bucks by showing relevant and engaging ads alongside your blog. You can control the quality, relevance and position of the ads on your blog post. Detailed metrics will keep you informed how our blog is performing and yes, it’s free to use!!
Chitika is an online ad network and data analytics firm which allows you to earn money through posting ads on your blog. Whenever a reader clicks on an ad, Chitika charges the corresponding advertiser. At the end of every month you are paid based on your previous month's earnings. As per the company’s policy, the payments are sent after your account earns at least $10.00 (USD) for PayPal payouts or $50.00 (USD) for checks.

One thing you need to be reminded of is Blogging has to be a continuous effort. Be patient and persevering. Once your blog is a hit, it will reap you enough economic benefits to support your finances. Keep finding smart ways of keeping your readers hooked onto your blog and attract new ones. More the merrier!!

Happy Blogging!!
