This woman has nothing to do with the post, but people like picutres 
A while back when I was still fairly new to the “make money online” game, I wrote a post about what to blog about to make money. It was an okay post with some decent advice, but now that I have some authority under my belt, I want to give those that are new the business of how to make money online.
First off…you should stay away from making blogs like this one. I am serious. The “make money online” arena is stacked with people who have been doing this for a while and you are not likely to find a ton of success – especially if you don’t have a track record. I know, I know – you really are interested in how to make money online and now that you know how to set up a blog, you can teach others how to do it too and then talk about content and SEO.
But everyone and their brother is doing it – including me. I don’t make most of my money from this blog – this is just kind of a hitching post for me. Most of my money is made from other niches – man I hate that word. I used to think of a niche as something really specific, but it has gotten so diluted that a category is now called a niche. But alas, I will sucumb to the IM industry and refer to categories as niches.
Okay, off on a tanget, let’s get back to what to blog about to make money. Now that we have come to the realization that you shouldn’t blog about how to make money online (right?), what should you blog about? Well, if you’ve already picked a “niche” – then you should have an idea and should be blogging on a consistent basis.
If you aren’t – why not? My bet is that you picked a niche that you’ve got no real interest in – you’re not personally invested in the subject matter pertaining to your niche. So how are you supposed to write convincing commentary on the products or services related to that niche?
I have been there and done that and I tell you it is nothing but work! It is laborious work and that isn’t what I got into internet marketing to do. Don’t get me wrong – I work, but I try to work as smart as I can and for me, that means writing about things that I am interested in.
I’ve got a ton of websites about things that I don’t have interest in too and do well with them – but that’s because I outsource the work to have someone do the drudgery for me. Unfortunately for many people though, outsourcing isn’t in the budget. A lot of people find themselves looking to make money online because they are already on a tight budget and need extra money. Does this ring true for you?
If it does, I suggest you start your internet marketing career based around a “niche” that you enjoy – something you already or really want to participate in. When you do this, your writing is genuine and your words ring true with the readers. You will gain respect and authority within your niche and when it comes time to recommend a product to your readers, they will be happy to buy because they trust you.
Build upon that and try to be the best you can in your niche and you will go far.
Thank for reading, even I could have summed up what to blog about to make money in one sentence:
Write about something you love, and you can make money online.
And you can take that to the bank!
