How to Make Money From Home by Writing Blog Posts

Blogging is quickly becoming one of the most effective ways to make money from home. This is because content is responsible for over 90 percent of the search results you will receive on any search engine. In this article, we will dive into blog posts and how to get the best results from your writing efforts. Here are a few things to consider:

Write shorter posts. One thing that I have noticed is that people don't usually like to read a very long article. This is because most of us have very short attentions spans. So if you want to keep people interested in your chosen topic, keep your content around 500 words per post. This will ensure that they stick around long enough to take action by clicking an affiliate link if that is what you want them to do.

Write all your content around specific keywords. It's not enough to just write content. You must be able to get yourself in front of people. The best way to do this is to target keywords in your posts. Research the top searched keywords in your niche. Find out which keywords are low in competition and high in search volume. Then, optimize your post with your chosen keyword. However, do not stuff your chosen key word in the content of your article. With the new Panda update, it will not help you to do this. Instead, include your key word in the first paragraph of your article only.

But in order for you to make money from your blog and work from home, you need to either promote an affiliate product, or sell your own. The fact is you can't make money on the internet without selling something. This is just the way it is. The sooner you can realize this truth, the faster you will be able to make an income.

ClickBank offers thousands of products that you could promote for big commissions. You can make as much as 75% per sale. This is awesome because you don't have to manage or store inventory. Simply sign up for this affiliate network, and start promoting the best converting offers in their marketplace. The trick to succeeding with this in method is to write posts that are related to the products and services you are promoting. Be creative with your writing, and always keep an open mind to new ideas.

However, do not bounce around from product to product. Choose one product and stick with it. Here is something to think about: if you drive 100 people to a sales page, you can expect to make one sale. Set realistic expectations so that you do not get discouraged. Once you realize how much traffic you need to send to a sales page before you make a sale, things are much more clear to you.
