How to Create A Blog that Actually Makes Money for You

In today's world of Internet there are thousands of genuine ways to Make Money Online.One of the Best Ways To Make Money Online is to create a blog and start monetizing it with ads and generate income from it.Its not that easy as it sounds.This process requires alot of effort, stress ,hard work and most importantly patience.

Always remember the following two points:

1.Hard Work always pays you.
2.Patience is the key for success.
If you follow the above two points then you are likely to be successful in your life in almost all the tasks.The only thing you need is a proper way.In this article I will teach you the proper way to make money from your blog.
Before going deep into article I will tell few important things to about how and why I started blogging?

When and Why I started Blogging?

Since my childhood I was a Internet lover.Though I didn't have a computer at my home till I was into Engineering, I used to visit Internet regularly and learn various things through it.Then I understood its potential and came to know that we can actually achieve whatever we want if we use it in a proper way.Here I am stressing the word Proper Way because there are many other ways Internet can be misused as well.
My parent bought me a Personal Computer as an encouragement for my excellent performance in academics.However things changed now after they bought me a PC.Now my academic profile went down but knowledge has grown tremendously which we actually don't get in regular academics.
I started using Facebook and joined few groups on Facebook which are related to Technology.Then I took active part in discussion on forums and groups.People liked the way I used to answer questions and guide them to get solutions to their problems.Then the idea of Blogging implanted in my brain.So that I can guide people and make money as well.This is how I started Blogging.

Guide To Build A Blog that actually Makes Money:

On What Topic/Content should you Blog?


When you are going to start a blog the first thing that comes to mind is the topic/niche you blog on.Always go with your passion.
For example I am a Technology lover and good in computers,Internet stuff so I started a Blog on Technology.Few people are good at designing then start a blog on Designing.
Always stick to what you like.Few niches will be more profitable but do the thing which you like.If you blog on the niche which you are not aware of then there is no point in Blogging on such niche.

What kind of Blogs Make Money? 


I always mention in my posts that Content is the King.If you have good content then you will get quality readers.If you have quality readers then obviously your blog will make money.
Most of the people build blogs on Pirated Softwares,Hacking/Cracking content.Such blogs will get good amount of traffic but I should say that its useless.Even I started my blogging with such content but removed such articles later realising my mistake.We don't have right to spoil others hard work.So please, I request not to blog on such content.Such kind of blogs wont make good amount of money as others do.

How Can you Earn from Your Blog?

Once your blog is ready with good quality content then it will naturally get good amount of traffic.If you have good quality traffic.Now again stressing the word good quality traffic.Always more traffic= more money equation is not true,I will come to this point later in the post.If your blog is ready with good quality and fresh content then there are many advertising networks to advertise on your blog.The primary thing that comes to mind when thinking of Advertising networks is Google Adsense.But if you have a blog with good quality traffic then Adsense wont be the primary source of Income for you.There are many other ways to make good amount of money from your blog even without Adsense.
Though Adsense is your primary source of income I always suggest you to keep few alternatives that suits best for your niche.Always keep few eggs in your basket because we don't know when Google bans you from Adsense.Myself got banned from Adsense twice.So now I keep adsense as one of the sources of income of my blog but not the primary source of income.So I am not bothered even I get banned from Adsense network.
Few alternative to Adsense are Affiliate Marketting,Sponsored Reviews,Infolinks ,Tribal Fusion etc.

How much time it takes to Make Money From Your Blog:

All depends on the amount of Hard work you put.Generally if you work smartly then your blog should start making money within 3 months.But mostly its wise to wait till 6 months and start applying for different Ad Networks.Dont be in a hurry to make money.Be calm,quiet and most importantly be patient.So that it will gain a good Page Rank and Alexa rank as well.These two factors are the measure of how popular your blog is.
If you didn't make good amount of money for a long period of time then don't panic.Learn from your mistakes and apply a different strategy.As I already said Patience is the key for success.

The Formula More Traffic=More Money is not always True:

Yes you are right most of the people think that if you get more traffic then you will earn more money from your blog which is not always true.We need quality traffic which actually turns into leads.If you are running a affiliate marketting model on your blog to earn money then your traffic should actually turn into sales to bring income for you.
Few niches like Blogging,Health wont have a good amount of traffic but still can make more money than a Pictures,Jokes blog which has 100 times more traffic than those blogs.So as I always say Quality is imporatant not Qantity.

Be Original:

I see most of the bloggers copy others work and simply copy paste others articles.It may give you relief but it wont work at all.To stand out among such a huge competition then you must be unique and original.

Few Other Aspects that helps you in Earning More Money:


If you are new to blogging then I suggest you to ake some Guidance so that you can learn things properly.Honestly speaking I didn't have any guidance.I learned almost all the things by just googling.This taught me many other things other than what I wanted to know.I took more time than what actually requires to get success in Blogging.So I recommend you to have a Guide for you.Do research on SEO(Search Engine Optimization) and Web Designing.This makes you feel very comfortable with your blogging.If you are from non-technical field then its better to hire some SEO Expert and Web Designer.
Sometimes you need to spend something to earn something.In blogging you need not spend more money but you have to spend a little amount on Theme,Domain ,Hosting etc.Nothing in this world is free so don't blindly depend on free things.They don't work in long run.

Conclusion:

With this rising competition blogging is becoming saturated day by day.This doesn't mean that you cant out stand among this competition but you need to work smartly and maintain originality/uniqueness in your content.
