There are countless articles on the web about making money blogging. I’ve personally read some articles that consider it a pretty easy and wonderful way to make money online! I’ve also read other articles that warn that it is like any other business and caution possible failure.
One thing is always present when reading anything about starting your own blog. It takes time, dedication and discipline. It takes time to build readership and authority on subject matter, dedication to write about the topic you’ve chosen, and discipline to keep up with your readers and engage them well. In other words, it might be about a year or two before you might make any money blogging.
IMPORTANT. if you’re looking to make money blogging you must have your own domain name. A free blog will not earn you any money. Search engines do not like to catalog sub domains such as myblog. wordpress. com or coolblog. tumblr. com.
When I began blogging I was tempted to begin a free blog and generate traffic through social media. This is a good tactic, and you may even want to try it. I decided not to go with it because honestly it’s allot of work. But the truth is domain names receive allot organic traffic through SEO.
