How To Make Money Blogging – It's All About Traffic

Blogs are a great way to earn money online. They're easy to set up, cost very little to maintain, and can generate large sums of money. However, one thing they all need to succeed is traffic. If people don't visit a blog and read its posts, the purpose of having a blog is basically moot. So blog traffic is essential. Let's discuss different ways of getting traffic to your blog.


Paid Traffic

You can pay for traffic through various services. PPC is about the fastest way to get traffic to your blog. This sounds great doesn't it? I have to offer this caveat. In order to not burn through your budget faster than you can say "big bucks" your keyword research has to be very good. The keywords you bid on need to be as pinpointed and specific to your blog topic as possible. You don't want to bid on generic and general keywords. This will usually just be a waste of your money, as people clicking on your ad won't really want to read your blog. Paid traffic can be a great way to get traffic, but it should be used with caution, and as a secondary source of traffic.

Social Media

You can use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to find people that might be interested in the same type of topics you talk about on your blog. Once you become friends with them, you can post links to your blog on your page, message them with updates and links to your blog etc. This is a great way to find people that might be interested in reading the content on your blog.

Organic Traffic

This is the best kind of traffic you can get for a few reasons. The first one is that it's free. This type of traffic comes from things like article marketing, organic search engine results, people sharing your url with other people. Then second reason this type of traffic is the best is because organic traffic will always be the most targeted and specific to your niche. This kind of traffic gets you people that actively want to read your blog content. The third reason this type of traffic is the best is because it feeds on itself. When you start generating organic traffic, it ranks you higher in search engines and in turn that gives you more traffic. It's an endless cycle that you definitely want to try and create.

The way to create this cycle is to keep your blog constantly updated with fresh, new, and original posts. Offer content on your blog that will engage readers and offer them invaluable information. When you offer great information to your readers, you'll be looked at as an authority in your niche. When you're an authority in your niche, guess what everyone will come to you to find answers to their questions. In turn providing your blog with more traffic. If you're having trouble meeting a consistent blogging schedule, or running out of ideas, you can always hire an article ghost writer to do it for you.

Getting blog traffic is fairly easy, and doesn't have to cost a lot of money. With a consistent posting schedule that is the same time and frequency, awesome content, and a little bit of advertising your blog will soon start getting more traffic than you can imagine.
