Do you want to be able to say, "I make money from blogging." If you do, here are some tips that will make that happen for you.
Do you know the characteristics of successful blogs? Successful blogs that make a lot of money have a lot of readers, so focus on getting lots of readers.
Marketers have developed more ways to get traffic than any single person can apply, but most of these techniques simply don't work very well. So focus on the few that do.
The secret of success online is to create a list of responsive buyers. You've probably heard that "the money is in the list." When building your blog, focus on building a list.
If you want to make money from blogging, you should set up a capture page and offer readers an irresistible free gift that they will find useful. A successful blog will have thousands of readers.
The best way to succeed with list building is to build a list from scratch. This way, your subscribers get to know, like, and trust you. They will buy from you when you make them a good offer.
Don't ever doubt that you can build a list and make money from your blog.
You want to build successful blogs so that you can be perceived as an obvious expert in your niche. With credibility behind you, it will be easier for you to sell your products and services.
It doesn't matter what you use to monetize your blog , you need a following of people who will visit your blog on a daily basis. This is something that successful blogs have.
Unfortunately, most traffic-generating techniques don't work. The worst are those where you do some kind of page view exchange. Fortunately, a few methods do work, and they work very well.

One of the best kinds of free advertising is video marketing. All you do is create 3-5 minute long videos and submit them to the top video sites such as YouTube, Metacafe, and Google Video to get a lot of traffic on a daily basis.
Article marketing is another awesome technique. Simply write a 300-500 word article on something related to your blog, then post these to the top article directories. Here are my favorites:
- EzineArticles.com
-IdeaMarketers.com
- ArticlesBase.com
- ArticleDashboard.com
- ArticlesBase.com
Writing for these top-level directories, will help you to drive a ton of traffic, targeted traffic, to your blog. Write about articles pertinent to your blog. The search engines will send you traffic, as well as the website owners who publish your article on their website.
The third powerful way to get traffic is to do forum marketing. Here's how it work: first, sign up at a forum related to your blog niche; second, be helpful, offering advice or answering questions; third, post a link to your blog in your signature file.
Let's recap. One, get an opt-in form and begin to sign up blog visitors. Two, get traffic to your blog using the three simple traffic generating techniques described, namely, video, article, and forum marketing. When you do both these things, you'll soon be able to tell family and friends, "I make money from blogging."
