Make even more money blogging
Just a few helpful tips for all of you new bloggers out there (and those of you who just need to jump start your earnings potential.)
Many bloggers just like you and I, often make mistakes on blogging for cash. Believe me, when I first started blogging, I wasn't making nearly what I had potential to be making. One thing that I am often asked is, "What should I blog about?" and this is a terrific question. Frankly, the answer to this question is quite simple. Blog about what you want. You can simply blog about things that interest you. On Sankey Blog, I write about hundreds of topics that are the most popular and in-demand topics on the web (this means lots of unique visitors.) This is one way to do it. Another way would be to start a 'niche' blog. This would be a blog about one topic (and not straying too far from that topic.) This would cause the same visitors to want to come back for further news on that topic. And example of a Niche blog would be my PS3 Blog.
Next, when you are a new blogger and only get 10-100 readers per day, don't expect to rake in too much cash from AdSense. This is just a fact, only a small percentage of your readers will click on those ads and if you have a small amount of traffic, obviously you wont be rich.
The best thing you can do to dramatically increase your AdSense earnings is to start numerous blogs about whatever you think will be a popular topic (check out the keyword tool on Overture.com.) Obviously, starting more blogs, even if none are REALLY popular means that those few clicks you were getting on ads is now multiplied by the number of blogs that you own.
Another very important factor in being profitable is to gain as much free traffic as possible. The best way to do this is to Digg all your posts and bookmark them on Del.Icio.Us and Technorati. This will gain you tons of exposure. Also, join a site like MyBlogLog and you will see your traffic ratings go sailing up.
