Secrets of Blog Income – Content and Value Aren’t Enough

by Guest on September 23, 2009

If you’ve been involved with blogging for very long, you’ve heard two things over and over. One thing you’ll have heard is that content is king. The other is that you must offer your visitors real value if you want them to keep visiting your blog. Getting this part right doesn’t guarantee you’ll make money. A secret to blog income is that great content and providing value won’t get you there by themselves. That may seem to contradict what you’ve heard, but it doesn’t. Allow me to explain.

In addition to great content and value, the top blogs, the ones that make money, have several other key characteristics that set them apart from lesser blogs. By far the most important is that people read them. They have lots of visitors (traffic). That is, their blogs get thousands of visitors a day.

No matter how good your content is, no matter how valuable your visitors find your content, if you only have a trickle of visitors, you blog income is going to be at best very small. Word is that there are over 100 million blogs on the Internet right now. If your blog addresses a popular subject (and if it doesn’t, why are you bothering?) you’ll have lots of competitors. It can be hard to get visitors to come to your blog, but it is doable.

If you’ve got a lot of loyal readers, you’re almost there. One major step remains. Earning money from your blog (monetizing it) is the next step you must take. Lots of people reading your blog is important for making money, but just getting the visitors isn’t enough. You need a solid plan for how you’re going to make money if your blogging is going to pay off.

Clearly, giving your readers valuable content isn’t enough in itself to make money. Getting visitors to the blog in the first place, then getting them to spend money are additional blog income secrets you need to master if blogging is going to make you real money.
