Blog marketing and monetization is not
difficult if you follow a step-by-step procedure. First you
need to decide how much you want to invest at the beginning of
your blog monetization effort.
If you do not want to spend any money
outright start with a blogger blog (free) and learn to promote
it through free traffic generation tactics. Once you earn a
little bit of money through your free blog start with a
WordPress blog (free again but you need to buy webspace and
domain name).
Decision No 1 : Blogger
blog or WordPress blog
Decision No 2: Choosing a
Niche Topic
Decision No 3: Want to
create the blog yourself or get help?
Decision No 4: Do it
yourself? Then which theme? Get Help? Then where do you want to
go for help?
Decision No 5: Content
development. Do you want to write your own content? Buy PLR?
Get free content from article directories?
Decision No 6: Promotional
tactics. How do you plan to get traffic to your blog?
Think of one topic that you are passionate
about. You should be interested enough in this topic to pursue
it for many years on a regular every day basis. It may be your
hobby, your interest, expertise or what you want to learn more
about.
Then do some keyword research through
Word Tracker and Google Trends and try to find out if
there are enough people searching for the topic of your
interest.
