Blogging is actually one of the most popular ways to make money online but it is in no way at all the easiest way to make money online. money flies on the internet but you have to know how to build an online asset that would inevitably attract money.
As at today, there are a lot of internet gurus teaching you how to make a living blogging and I can truly tell you that most have then got no experience at all and all they are interested in is you making a valid purchase through their affiliate link so that they can earn an affiliate commission for referring you.
so today, i am going to expose to you a couple of things about blogging that you were not told from the beginning of your journey.
so without wasting anymore time, let us get started
WRITE – PUBLISH – EARN
Although this is quite true, it hides a lot of things that goes on within the process. blogging is nit just about producing contents as you would also have to market your contents, this is the part they do not tell you, the best way of marketing your contents to produce long lasting results is called search engine optimization and it entails doing all what it takes (legally) to rank higher on google search result pages otherwise called SERP.
so before you start blogging, you need to go learn and have an in-depth knowledge of search engine optimization
BLOG FOR FUN TO EARN
Although blogging for fun is a very nice thing to do, blogging for fun could also limit the potentials of your blog as well as sinking it in the midst of competition. Furthermore, a blog that is treated as an hobby will surely pay like an hobby.
In today’s world, a blog is more than an hobby or a side hustle, in fact, it is a business worth paying attention to.
Treat your blog as a business and do not be scared to invest in it.
BLOGGING IS HIGHLY PROFITABLE
Even though that blogging is highly profitable, it can be really frustrating in the early years of getting started. forget those screenshot and records sent to you by pro bloggers to get you started, you may never see those figures in your journey blogging and even if you do, they only come towards the later days of your blog. from experience, it takes about 30 months for a blog to be profitable.
so just as you are building your audience and contents for thirty months, you are also building your earning capacity.
indeed blogging is highly profitable but just for your information, it does not come easy.
THE PASSIVE INCOME MYTH
I actually believe that the way pro bloggers portray passive income to look like is quite contrary to what it looks like in reality.
they tell you that all you need to do is to make the blog in put in all your efforts at the beginning and after that you can sit and earn money.
I actually think that the passive income that comes with blogging is that of which you do not need to be online to make money and you also hear it being said as making money without trading your time for it.
Blogging as a passive source of income is made possible because the systems and algorithm to get everything running is made available online and is being managed by systems and processes.
