You can even make money by blogging! Some hard-working bloggers make as much as six figures and a few make even more. If you like the idea and are willing to work at it, you can do it too. With a bit of know-how it's really not difficult at all to do.
Niche blogging is simply writing a blog on a specific topic geared toward a particular group of people. To pick your niche blog, write down five things that you enjoy either enjoy doing or enjoy learning about.
Once you have picked the first niche topic that you would like to try, it's time to find a domain name. To do this you will want to access the Google keyword tool. (Just do a Google search.) Put in your niche topic, or commonly called online, keywords. The keyword tool will give you information on these keywords about how many visitors a month they get. You want at least 10,000 visitors but no more than 25,000 or it just gets too competitive to get listed well. The keyword tool will not just return the words you put in, but also all the other keywords that are like yours. Once you find the set of keywords with the correct of amount of searches, go see if the domain name is available. But don't buy it yet!
Now that you have a list of available domain names that use your best keywords, do a search in Google. Put each set of keywords into the search engine with quotes around them. You will want the set of keywords that bring back less than 200,000. This will help you get placed well in the search engines. If the number is higher try another set of keywords.
Once you have your domain name, hosting, and your blog ready to go, it's time to start blogging on your topic. If you don't want to write everything, you can spend a little money at the freelance sites getting content written for you.
Be sure to ad Google Adsense to site. This is probably the quickest and easiest way to start making money on your blog. Every time someone clicks you get paid! You will also want to incorporate affiliate programs as they pay much better. Include Ebay and Amazon books in your affiliate strategy.
It's important to learn the successful strategies that have helped others succeed at this. Instead of banging your head against cyber walls pick up a step-by-step blueprint to show you the way. You will earn money by blogging much faster and be happier in the long run.
