subject: Using A Blog To Get People To Talk, And Earn Money Too! [print this page] If you are the kind of person who can start a conversation with a total stranger, draw their interest to you, and then get them to start talking, you may be an incredible blog writer. Even if you have the ability to just incite people to get angry enough to start talking about it, the success of your blog might earn money for you too.
Especially in the political arena, blogging effectively can bring you huge audiences if your message is interesting in a positive or negative way. Your normally obnoxious knack for aggravating people could turn into a blogging scenario that will earn money for you in the long run. Who knows, maybe you will wind up with a talk radio show or an editorial in a newspaper if your conversational skills are of consistent quality.
Other hot topics that can draw in conversation are philosophy, especially religious viewpoints, or sports talk. Religion can always incite various opinions and very strong emotions out of people. Sports talk is nearly as bad. If you don't believe it just try and sit down between a Los Angeles Dodgers fan and San Francisco Giants fan and then drop a simple question like, "Who was better, Sandy Koufax or Juan Marichal?" You could sit and just listen for an hour as the two people will drag out the battle and throw statistics around in their verbal combat. Eventually they will come to no different conclusion than when they started, and if the event would have been on your blog you would earn money for it instead of just listening to it. This is the key to successful blogging, getting people to talk, or argue, or just deliver their insight or information to add to a conversation.
If you have the raw talent to get people to talk about things, or even know how to get people riled up over something, you can earn money with blogging. Use your talents and sticking to what you know will go a long way in your ultimate success.
No matter what your angle is when you start blogging over the vast horizon we know as the World Wide Web, if you stay to things that people are passionate about, specifically politics, religion, sports, and food, you will earn money as your audience continually grows. Even with less controversial issues you can be successful if you have a higher degree of expertise in a particular area such as comic books or carpentry. Basically, stick to what you know and use your conversational skills to your advantage and success is merely a matter of time.
