5 Steps for Blogging

Do you like to earn an income with something that you're passionate about? It's very easy. All you need is to set up your own blog. This way, you can place some Google Adsense as well as affiliate links, which will help you generate good revenue.

Here are 5 steps for better and more effective blogging for you:

1. Think of what kind of value your readers will receive. Your blog should have a purpose; this will be one of the major reasons why they'll keep on coming back to your website. It can be to inform or to entertain- either way, it should be compelling enough to make your target readers visit your blog regularly.

2. Keep track of the conversations. Don't just simply post a blog entry, and then leave your readers to comment about them. A good blogger actually initiates the conversation and then invite others to join in. Participating in comments will also allow you to clear some misinterpretations coming from your readers.

3. Accept harsh criticisms. As they say, you can't please everybody, even if you're just making a blog. It may hurt your ego, but you have to remember that you will earn more respect if you can be more objective about other people's opinion about your post. By reading their feedback, you can come up with better ideas on how to deal with your posts.

4. Promote your blog. In blogging, it may take sometime to develop a steady readership. To get you started, it is recommended that you promote your blog in any way possible. Forums, social networking sites, article marketing, and SEO are some of the best ways to drive traffic to your blog without the need to spend your precious dimes.

5. Take advantage of Google Adsense. The fastest way to convert your blog to money is through the use of Google Adsense. Google will pay you every time an interested visitor click on the ads posted on your blog.
