Have you recently started a blog and feel like you’re in the dark when it comes to how do bloggers make money?
I was in the same boat not too long ago.
When I started Twins Mommy four years ago, I wanted to see if I could make money as a typical blogger, using typical ways to make money blogging.
And, while I had some fails, I figured it out and can call myself a full-time blogger now.
Blogging is a great way to make money!
Whether you’re looking to create a small stream of income or make a full-time income from blogging, it’s totally possible.
What I love about blogging is that while it requires diligence and consistency, there really is no limit to how much you can earn.
I started blogging when my twins were less than a year old.
New to blogging?
What’s the one struggle you have?
To get people to read your blog posts!
I know it was for me when I first started Twins Mommy.
Whether it’s summer time and you have your kids at home ALL.DAY.LONG or you’re a mom with a toddler, finding uninterrupted time to blog is like finding a long lost unicorn.
Before my twins started school, I was managing a budding freelance writing business and writing on my blogs.
Setting up activities for my twins to do did help, but what I relied on the most regarding saving time were certain types of blog posts that were easy to write, not in-depth at all and were popular to read.
Starting a blog is an adventure!
And it can change your life. But there is more to blogging than just starting one.
Finding website ideas is one of the biggest challenges for bloggers. What type of blog do you want, and is it one you can create or feel you’re not experienced enough?
This isn’t all about your blog niche, either. This is a topic about the framework of your overall blog plan.
As a new blogger, figuring out what to blog about usually is the biggest challenge.
But, once you figure that out, you might be wondering, how often should I publish a blog post? Is there a right number of blog posts you should publish per week?
And what happens if you can no longer maintain that content schedule? What do you do?
You started a blog and were amazed with how suddenly you got some traffic for the first few months.
You loved it and enjoyed it and couldn’t believe it.
But, then it happened.
The traffic you gained this month isn’t nearly half of the traffic you had last month.
Every blogger strives for it –
The day when their blog posts ranks in Google #1…or #2…or #3 position!
According to studies, the number one position can bring you 33% more traffic than spot 2 or 3!
And, if you’re monetizing your blog, having this position is a goldmine.
But, you know what?
Having a hard time figuring out what to blog about on your blog?
Finding topic ideas for your blog can be hard. It is for me!
I have a lot of ideas but when I look at my blog, I already wrote about it!
So, I have to dig deeper and come up with different ideas or spin an idea I already wrote about.
You did it!
You started a blog and chose WordPress as your content management platform!
Yay! It’s scary but exhilarating at the same time. Then reality settles in, and suddenly you feel this is too much. Too overwhelming.
You just don’t know how to use WordPress, and now you feel like a failure!
