Many people are going online Googling the best ways to make money online.

So you want to earn money blogging. Great!
Blogging is a great way to reach many of potential clients and readers looking for information on specific topics to solve their problems. So what you’ll want to do, is first, come up with the Niche of your blog, or main topic of focus, and just expand on it. Let me give you an example…
So let’s say you like Plants… You want to get real specific as to what kind of plants you want, or what category you’re going to hop in to with plants.. are you going to talking about indoor plants, outdoor plants, gardening fruits and veggies, caring for dying plants, plant revival of different species, growing and maintaining succulents… there’s plenty of ways you can take this specific niche, but I was only giving an ‘off the top’ example.
Engage your audience:
It’s more than just coming up with a niche and running with It… the more specific you are, the more likely you are to find your specific audience. Make sure you put plenty of helpful tips, information, and don’t sound like a robot while delivering it. You want to treat your blog like a conversation, and make sure the reader feels engaged, and not bored. Adding some great images wouldn’t hurt. You can find free royalty-free images for your blogs on Pexels. Making sure you have engaging content makes certain that your readers are reading until the end, thus, creating, a loyal reader. You want to make the most valuable read as possible, to build as much trust with your reader. Also, leave opportunity for questions in the comments, and invite your reader to ask them. Answer questions in the comments, to keep them coming back to check out more content, and definitely encourage them the subscribe to keep updated with more posts.
Expanding on Value:
As you may know, the internet is huge and ever-growing with more and more information out there, than ever before. Anyone can google any answer out there… but you want people searching, and finding you. Sometimes, this means, you might have to get creative as to how you’re willing to get your blog out there, if you wish to make any kind of traction, build views, or make money. Even doing your own research in your niche, and staying on top of the latest information, and rewriting it in ways to make it easier to understand, make videos if you feel more comfortable. Did you know you can even make viral videos without even showing your face? So even if you’re camera shy, there’s no excuse. Buuuuut, making viral videos without showing your face is information for a different post. Let me know if you want to know more about that in the comments section.
Make Sure Your Blogs Are Relatable:
Now, don’t just go to Google and rewrite articles on everything you can. Make sure you have a genuine interest in what you’re blogging about, and keep your fans and audience intrigued. You have to hook them somehow…
Example one: Let’s say you chose Fishing as your niche.. talk about your fishing rod, and which hooks are your favorite, which bait you swear is the best and why. What have you been able to catch that you normally don’t get to catch with ordinary equipment, and why you feel what you’re using is the best. Hell, talk about what kind of water you prefer to fish in.. you get the point.. specifics matter, so when it’s something you’re genuinely in to, you’ll be more inclined to have a blog that’s engaging and relatable.
Example two: let’s say your thing is photography… you can post up stories of your personal images and share the love of art, while also writing about what kinds of lenses you use, what type of camera you use, what you swear the best camera is, what camera or lenses maybe you would like to have in the future, if you don’t already have your own dream camera already… what kind of lighting do you typically like to shoot in? softwares you edit with.. again… you get it…

SO WHERE’S THE MONEY?!?!?
Alright, alright… you want the money…
So here’s the thing… you got your niche.. you have your genuine interest.. you have your relatable content.. you’re engaging, you’re building a following, and people are reading, and everything good, but… you’re broke.
Most of the time, people aren’t going to make money JUST blogging… Most bloggers who are successful often become influencers for Instagram, Tik Tok, Youtube, so on and so on.. but here’s where your money is… Your job is to find a niche that has some kind of high ticket product that you can mention subtly in your writings and show how it fixes, eases, or solves a problem that many of your followers may want to try as well. You go to the website on whatever the product is, and you look for somewhere on the page where is says “affiliate” or “Become and Affiliate.”
You’ll want to become an affiliate with whatever the product is with the company, and you’ll have your own link generated, where if your followers click that link and buy that same product, you earn a commission. This is where your money is… for as long as you’re putting out great quality information, relatable content, and a valuable product… this is how you make money blogging.
