[GETTING STARTED] Have You Asked Yourself These Questions? [BLOGGERS]

I've been a member here at BHW for a few years now and it has helped me to accomplish a lot in the past. I have succeeded and I have failed, yet I still stick around! Ahhhh, IM...

Nonetheless, I was researching for my next venture (finally going ONLINE as opposed to OFFLINE) and I came across a few informative articles and decided to outline them and share to you what I have found.

This particular outline was only from one article but I figure it should be able to assist a few people in getting started.

Enjoy!

You can buy article content al over the Internet. You might want to try the marketplace on this forum or sites like fiverr.

Well that's entirely for you to figure out.

You probably will. Whether your articles are self written or bought from someone, will probably not be the biggest determining factor in succeeding.

An interesting read. I'm sure many novice bloggers could help gel out their ideas with some more clarity thanks to this guide.

Thank you for the complement! I don't mind at all, I would like to start by saying that your English is actually pretty good! I would recommend trying DuoLingo or Rosetta Stone in order to sharpen it up or enhance it even more. A core skill set to have in IM is going to be your writing ability, especially when dealing with a blog. Your other option is of course to outsource the writing as @IAmFromTheInternet stated above. Be aware of who you hire though, I don't really recommend using spun content (articles that have been copied and restructured/rewritten to try to avoid Google flagging them for copying), your going to want high quality articles. It's not easy to find good writers, but when you do... just make sure to take care of them and make sure to keep them close! I haven't gotten to the point of hiring writers yet, I did used to write articles for others for a short period though. I can say that even though I've never tried their service, NatashaNixon's writing service tends to stand out to me for some reason. You can also find a few sites that allow you to hire writers from (I'd have to research this some more), I just usually try to keep my service purchases "within the community".

Gladly, and thank you for the complement once more also!

When it comes to succeeding, don't worry so much! We will all succeed and we will all fail, it's just a matter of how you handle being successful or how you handle failure because both are bound to happen!

Don't get me wrong, the content portion of a blog is a very important portion but it's only the beginning! You could have the worst article or the best article EVER created... but if no one views it, you'll never know how good or bad it is!

Step 1: Setup your blog.
Step 2: Start providing content to your blog.
Step 3: Learn how to track the activity of your blog and setup a way to keep your audience coming back! (Email Opt-IN, Giveaways, Incentives, Active Social Media Accounts, etc.)
Step 4: Market your blog
Step 5: Monetize Your Blog

It will be a long journey before you will find out whether or not you've succeeded or failed but for now, don't focus so much on making money! Focus more so on how to setup, track, establish, and market your blog! Once you learn the fundamentals, you can start switching niches and attempting to monetize to see what works and what doesn't!




Allow those 2 images to marinate a bit!

Thank you @davers ! I do hope that others will be able to find use of it, just as you and I have found it useful.


SIDE NOTE/ANNOUNCEMENT:

For all reading this as well, I understand that all of the make money methods sound extremely enticing and easy to accomplish but think of this as a long term game/business. Methods usually get shared to be twisted and because they have become saturated in most cases. Plan Long Term, Win Long Term! It's like playing chess, be 5 steps ahead!

CEOs: use 90% of their time planning.
Middle Management: 50% of their time planning.
Lower Managers: 10% of their time planning.
Floor Managers: 1-2% of their time planning.

Nonetheless, I'll get off my little soapbox now and end it with saying that I wish everyone in this community a great amount of success and may we all choose the right opportunities at the right times! TAKE ACTION, HAVE FUN, MAKE MONEY, and LET'S ALL ENJOY THE FREEDOM THAT IM WILL BESTOW UPON US!

This quite interesting one and I should do it and get answer. I am not doing well in blog. No traffic, no money.

Hey Aaron! How long have you been operating your blog? how are you marketing it?

I most definitely recommend downloading the word document at the end of the OP and answering those questions! I believe it'll give you a greater idea of what it is you are looking to accomplish with your blog, and who it is your looking to market to!
