Consider These If You Want To Be Successful In Problogging
Posted by Mert Erkal on Mar 27, 2009 in Problogger | 8 commentsCertainly, it is possible to make money with blogs. However, you just need to take risks, the passion, and the right attitude in order to be a successful problogger. The following are a few things that you should consider if you want to succeed in problogging:
1. You need to be patient. Problogging requires a lot of time and effort, needless to mention a long-term vision.
2. You should know your audience. Targeting a specific group or audience is a key to building a readership.
3. You have to be an ‘expert’. Focus on a specific niche topic and try to be the most popular blogger on that topic.
4. Diversify blog monetization. You need to experiment with various affiliate and advertising programs that enable you to make money online (in addition to blogging).
5. You should not bore your readers. It is better to focus on the layout and content. White spaces, bigger fonts, line spacings, and regularly updated unique content make a blog welcoming to read.
Hi Mert, I have found you here
I read your article, and as you said I am trying to focus on web technologies in my blog. Many of my articles are based on my personel experiences and occupational interests.
And I can say, this is the key,
“you should blog about what you know”
Good stuff, thanks for sharing
Hello Ozgur, welcome on board
I think focusing on what you know and what you enjoy is crucial to being a “problogger.” Building authority and always learning new things will help you to succeed later on.
You mentioned a very good point Corey.
I agree with you Corey, absolutely..
Great points hard to readership building but most important i need to work out on it.
Yeah, it is really hard. But once you manage it, you will benefit from it.
Excellent share thanks. I am going back soon for certain.
