Earn good money from your blog by becoming a niche blogger.
Making money as a blogger is actually a very simple thing. All a good blogger needs is an idea. By that I mean that a blog must have an overall theme in order to survive in the blogging world.
If you fancy yourself as a blogger, try to think of a niche idea. That means a speciality area on which you will base your blog. Take a look at all the big blogs and bloggers on the internet and you will see that they are all written around a topic.
For example, you might be good at woodwork, so you could blog about that. You might be more interested in news around your area, so you could become a local news blogger. Maybe you are an artist, or an author, a chef, or even a motor mechanic. Whatever your interests you can use them to make your blog interesting and set yourself up as a professional blogger.
Why stick to niche blogging? Well, if you hope to earn from your blog then you need to categorize it, no matter how loosely. For example, if you are a blogger who writes about blogging and blogging software, make sure that you stay in that area with your blog posts. That way you will get known as an expert blogger in your category.
Furthermore, as you become an established blogger you will attract advertising that will match the kind of readers you get. This is vital because a blogger who blogs about woodwork, for example, doesn’t want advertising about knitting, dancing and cooking because his visitors will not be interested in it. You can even go out there and approach bigger websites and bloggers and sell your own advertising space on your blog.
All this takes fine tuning and patience and being a professional blogger who actually earns from blogging is quite a challenge. Any blogger can have a successful blog that earns money from several sources but it takes a lot of blogging and a lot of dedication. It won’t happen overnight.

Yes, these are the things that I try to do not only with my personal blog but it’s also what I try to do with my Triond Account.

You’re a very sharp guy Louie Jerome, keep cranking out the good advice, It’s a pleasure to read your work!

Thanks for the advice. I think it is important to blog about what you know because you will put more feeling into it. It will also help you to keep to the broad theme of the blog.

I have notice that my blog gets more attention now that I have geared it as a health, advocacy, and societal issues friends’ blog.

Good points here. I don’t know about the getting rich part, but I’ve got to know many interesting people around the world through my blog. I’d probably have never met them otherwise.
With the number of visitors growing, the revenues from Google Ad-sense have been growing on my blog

Hi Louie…i like blogging but so far I am not earning yet..

I enjoy blogging; it soothes my stressed out soul and returns my life to a balance. I’ll just be glad to see more people reading my blog. Right now, Triond is increasing, but I don’t see it on my blog yet, probably because I don’t have the time to write more.
Thank you. I enjoyed reading your post.
