FINDING A NICHE AND A MICRO-NICHE.

This is where most get it wrong, and therefore get frustrated and wonder why they are not making money. There must be a market for what you are trying to sell. Just having a vague idea of what you think might sell is not the way to success. So, don’t just find something you think might sell and throw up a Blog and start promoting it without doing research into that market. This requires doing keyword research and also finding out how much competition there is for that keyword in your niche. If there is too much competition, you will be spinning your wheels and you will not make money with your blog.

MONETIZE YOUR BLOG

This is the fun part. I covered this in a previous post on this blog. But there are many other ways to make money with your blog. They include affiliate marketing, selling advertising space on your blog, using PLR products, creating your own products, selling your e-book, CPA marketing, selling software, creating an e-commerce store, banners and the list is endless.

GETTING TRAFFIC TO YOUR BLOG

This is where most everyone struggles. This is especially true if there is high competition in your niche or market, and if your keywords are not properly targeted. Here are just a few tips for getting traffic to your blog: Social Bookmarking, getting backlinks with a high page rank, getting indexed by all of the major search engines like Google, MSN, Yahoo and Bing.

The key to getting more traffic is to make sure your blog is fully optimized for the search engines. This is called SEO (Search Engine Optimization). All of the search engines have free tutorials and you should take the time to go through all of these.

One of the best ways to get traffic is through the use of a good squeeze page. It is possible to create a squeeze page on your blog. I have a step by step guide in my home study course and also some great tips on this in the Traffic Magnet Newsletter.
