How To Make Money Blogging In 10 Steps: Step 6 – Writing Content On Your Blog
Now we’re at the very core of our lesson on how to make money blogging. You have to remember that this step is a continuous process. This is what you will be doing a lot of. The actual writing; the posts and content on your site.
So where do you start?
Before we start the actual posting it is a good idea to create 3 essential pages on your site first.
The fist page should be an “About me” or “About us” page which tells your visitors what your blog is about. The next is a privacy policy page. This one is important and basically tell your visitors what info you collect on them if any and if you have links to third parties on your site ie: affiliate links. Google take “privacy policy” very seriously and since we are going to use affiliate links and advertisers (which we cover on our next step) make sure to include one. The last page is a “contact us”.
You can find WordPress plugins for both “privacy policy” and “contact us” page so these are very easy. Just install and fill in a few steps and you’re done.
Ok so now we start to blog!
By this point you have chosen a good topic or niche for your site. You are familiar with or have done some research and made yourself familiar with this topic or niche. You have your keywords prepared and these keywords will be used throughout your blog.
You want your content to be interesting and informative to your readers. You can quickly make a list of all the concerns that people have in your niche or your chosen topic. What are their issues or problems? Do they have particular questions? Are they trying to find a solution? Do they want to know how to do/make something? Are they looking for reviews of particular products or services?
Choose any of these questions and start writing about it. It can be as simple as writing a top 10 list with each item supported by a sentence or two. Or you can write a full length detailed article outlining each particular point.
If you look around at different blogs you’ll see that the post lengths vary in length. You have short posts like only a paragraph or two while others are very long. A good post however should contain around 400-500 words. This is the best practice. You may go longer of course. You can mix it up and have some short and some long but the bulk of your content should follow the 400-500 word guidelines for best results.
How you choose to write is all up to you. Just make sure you are providing good useful information for your readers. Once you get the hang of it, you will soon find out what works best for you.
So now your blog is up and running, you’ve got some decent content on it, and you’re on a roll. But you are eager to delve into the actual making money from it….so then what?
