Blogging is a great way to express your thoughts and views about any subject. But lately, the hobby part of blogging is replaced by earning from blogging. There are people around the world who are making huge money and inspiring others to adopt blogging as a full time job and main source of income. However, Blogging is no different from any other profession. You will have to dedicate your time and learn a lot before reaching to a state where you can earn.
If you want some results, start switching from Blogging as a hobby to a career, this ABCD of blogging will guide you through.
I will start the ABCD in reverse order. I will tell you why later.
ABCD Blogging Guide For Beginners
D:
D is Design, Deploy, Develop.
Design
Design is the overall look of your blog. The first thing anyone notices is how your blog looks – well structured, elegant themes, customized menus etc.
WordPress provides a more customizable environment with lots of professional themes – both free and paid ones. However, hosting a blog on WordPress is costlier and its you who have to pay the hosting bills along with domain registration. Blogger is free for hosting but has limited features.
Develop
You are creating a blog for people. Your blog will reach to thousands in your coming days. These people may be amateurs or highly knowledgeable people having an in-depth understanding of what you are writing in your blog.
What I am trying to say is to influence these peoples, you have to develop a deep understanding of your subject. And for that, you have to read a lot. Everything is there on Google.
Deploy
Deploy means to bring into action. Combine your knowledge and experience and create the best of you. Deploy the knowledge you have acquired and present it to your audience in the best possible way.
C:
C is Content and Content is the king. The visitors sole purpose to come to your blog is to find the answer of his query and its the content that is going to establish your blog. Your content quality will decide your long term profit from blogging.
Content has 3 aspects:
Uniqueness- I just said – everything is available on Google. Then how its gonna be unique? The answer lies in the way of presentation. The way you will mix your words with images, facts and figures, your personal experience will make your post unique.
Optimization- Search Engine Optimization is a gradual process and you will learn it gradually in your blogging career. No one can really teach you SEO in a day or two, on YouTube or messenger. Its your experience that will count on your SEO practices. Keyword research, optimizing your Titles and Meta descriptions, switching to long term keywords, link building, and much more you will have to learn.
Marketing: Content needs to be delivered. What you write has to reach to right audience and its your responsibility to market it to as much people as possible. Its your presence on Social Networks like Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn and other social sites thats gonna benefit you. Increasing your followers, building Connections, Adding people to your circles, and building an email subscriber list should be in your preference list.
BIG Why?
Now, why I started the post in reverse order is due to the fact that the blogging is a gradual process. You need traffic to earn from Advertising. For traffic, you have to have quality contents and market your blog to readers.
Better content and Marketing will drive traffic to your blog and in turn will earn you money.
Implement this ABCD in your blogging and start growing in your blogging career. Happy blogging!
