2 steps to start profiting from your blog

Looking to start a blog and monetize it? Sure, it takes 5 minutes.

Who’s going to give you feedback and suggestions?

Wouldn’t you want reviews, or feedback -day in and day out- from other bloggers who are seriously trying to monetize their blog too?

People willing to pay for a 2 month trial to be among other online entrepreneurs?

3 years ago I started a blog about one of my hobbies. It wasn't profitable because I didn't analyze beforehand if the target market had disposable income, if the niche was profitable or whether it was too competitive. I enjoyed updating it but I felt that it was taking a lot of my energy. It turns out the nice was too competitive. Now, I'd like to make sure every step I do in my new blog will be helpful and profitable.

I'd like to share 2 steps I took 26 days ago.

I thought- get help from those who are there already, making a living online.

I stopped reading just online marketing articles. I went and looked for tips from people who already make a living online and offer products and coaching programs, like James Roche, Ezine Queen, and others.


Imagine yourself:

implementing tips where you see results in the short and long term,

automated some marketing strategies,

feel less worried,

"What if something happens and I can't be near the computer for a week or two, will my sales stop?"

Step 1:

Surround yourself with people who are already making a living online. Start “absorbing” how they think, how they approach marketing strategies.


One thing I learned the most is that they focus on the big picture, the results. I used to focus on getting a task done, even for hours, Once I did it. I’d move on to the next one. I didn’t know whether it gave me results. Didn’t know what to expect and whether I can do it quicker, or automate it. It’s the quickest way to stay motivated. You have support and accountability.

Step 2:

Avoid figuring out by yourself what type of target market you want to address.

Who’s to help you verify your niche can be profitable?

You can do it by yourself, it might take days to learn different marketing tips. Few more days to start implementing them. Pretty soon, it can get emotionally draining because you want to post often in your blog. How much time are you willing to dedicate?


Or, you can start off on the confidently knowing there's little risk. From Day 1 you’ll know that your blog is info that lot of people want. You’ll find out how to monetize it, use your expertise to help solve people’s problems. You’ll be relaxed because you know you’re not guessing, and your valuable time is being productive.

Don’t know what you’re good exactly? Let someone help you figure out, not only what you’re good at but help you set up marketing systems to market so you can help people, even without being ‘chained’ to the computer most of the time.

or


The best part about this is that you don’t just buy the program and start your online business. What about if your motivation starts waning? It comes with a support forum where people who also bought the program, support each other, share the tasks, ask for site feedback….

Take care,
