You heard how blogging can help your business and how you can
make extra money through blogging by placing ads of products in your
niche. But how do you get started?
A variety of blogging platforms exist today, but the most used are WordPress and Blogger. Both are easy to set up and connect with social media, but Blogger does not offer as many opportunities for generating revenue, and Blogger has set templates and you can customise them, but they still look and feel the same as others who use blogger. WordPress has the ability to upload custom made templates so that it will look and feel more like a website than a blog.
Once you have chosen your platform, you are going to have to invest some money into it. You need your own domain name which will increase your credibility. Any affiliate links could be part of some articles or part of the widgets in the sidebar. Your own website will also give you more control over the blog's design, content and advertising. A domain name is not expensive, it costs you less than $10 per year. Hosting costs between $4 and $10 per month.
Once you have a domain name and hosting, it is literally two or three clicks and your WordPress platform is installed. I use custom made WordPress templates that I bought online. There are also many free templates available which you can customise to look unique. You can change the background, the header picture, and add your logo. Many templates also give you a choice as to which colour you want, how many columns you want, and where you want the sidebar.
Blogging daily will help you drive more traffic to your site, especially if you send your article links to your social media and bookmarking sites and have many followers there. If your followers then share your posts with others, you can attract more prospects. If you then also make sure you ping your blog to many ping directory services, you will get even more traffic.
You can also start conversations on social media sites like LinkedIn, as well as participate on forums in your niche. Having your link in your signature will drive traffic to your blog as well.
Blogging has helped many companies to establish more interaction with their clients and prospects. With a blog you can make statements quickly and publicly and reach many of your clients. Start your blog today.
