Can Blogging Be Used To Make Money Online?

By Russell Howe


Starting out in an affiliate program can be tough for most people, which is why over 80% of entrepreneurs fail to make money online regardless of whether their chosen program was an industry giant like Empower Network or a brand new program nobody had heard of before. Make no mistake about it, it doesn't matter how big or small your chosen affiliate program is. If you are going to succeed with it you need to learn the basics of how to advertise, which means starting with the various free resources available.

Resources such as social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Youtube become very valuable tools. Today we'll be exploring one of the lesser known techniques, which is blogging.

One of the easiest mistakes to make when trying to make money from home in your spare time is focusing too much on just one aspect and ignoring others. For instance, rather than building a solid platform across Youtube, Twitter and Facebook you'll notice folks who spend all day on Facebook. That's a road to nowhere. Take a look at how the top coaches and sponsors work on different aspects of marketing, then you'll see why it's important to focus on various aspects as opposed to just one thing. []

Writing blogs is a very underused method for building a home business. Despite the fact that they can take as little as 15 minutes to create, many people neglect them completely in favor of spending hours on different methods.

If you're trying to establish yourself with an affiliate program, here's why blogging can be a useful tool:

1) Branding yourself.

2) There are tons of individuals who may be interested in what you have to offer but were simply unable to find you beforehand.

The first reason above is branding. Building your brand is the number one way to expand a business, whether it's a corporation or a small company. As your own boss, providing regular blog content which helps others in the same niche will not only help you to become a recognized sponsor in your chosen home business program, it will also help you to attract others in similar businesses who are looking for general advice.

On top of this, you'll notice that regular blog content allows you to target previously unreachable customers. It does this because you'll be able to score high rankings in search results for whichever keywords you are targeting. Regular, fresh content which is helpful and professional will enable you to target your chosen niche very easily as search engines begin to place weight behind your website when it's reputation grows in stature.

So now that you have the two main rewards for blogging, what's next?

The answer is simple. Get yourself a blog and start using it today. Whatever you choose to write about, there is generally a niche audience out there looking for it. Whether you are trying to help people learn how to make money online with affiliate programs like Empower Network or Avon, or you simply want to take your cookery hobby to new heights, blogging is one of the most overlooked methods of gaining substantially more followers.
