Blogging For Money - Creating Great Content Easily And Often
There is an important point to making money with a blog and that is that the content is what brings people to your blog to give you a chance to sell something.
So how do you create content that brings people in? The key to traffic on a blog is constant content that is interesting to your readers.
In the first place you will have no readers but as your content gets recognized people will come back.
I will have some aggressive content ideas here so be aware that this will work to make you money but you will need to work to get it.
Firstly I believe it is important to have a goal for your blog or you will get tired of it and leave before it has a chance to become an income stream.
I believe that a blog is not a real entity until there are 500 posts in it.
Now I would not expect you to write 500 posts quickly but the pace is up to your.
You need to write at minimum once every two days so that the search engines will know to come back and reindex your blog so at that rate it would take two to three years to get to that magical 500 post level.
I would say that if at all possible you should be posting twice a day and maybe taking 1 day of a week this will get you to 500 posts in under a year.
So now that you have a goal for posts number as well as posting frequency, how long should a post be? I believe that a post should be 400-500 words.
If you write a post longer than that you will have picked to large a subject and shorter than that you will have probably not dug deep enough into the subject.
Try to think of each post as about a page or so in Microsoft Word and you can envision what this will take.
So how long will this take? I can write a 500 word article in about 20 minutes.
I have a great little system that seems to work well.
I just type the heading which is the title of the article, add three or four points that I want to cover and then just start typing as the words come.
Writing articles should not be difficult at all for you and once you have written a couple you will wonder why you have been putting it off for so long.
If you know that you can knock off a blog post in 20 minutes and you know that this is just about the most important work that your business has then why just write one article and be done with it.
Instead it is a good idea to have your thoughts organized on paper and then write all of your weeks articles in one sitting and then setup a posting schedule in your blog or just daily add the articles as you need them.
Now that you have a system go ahead and start writing lots of content and prosper.
