Make Money Blogging

This is a guest post by Leighann

Obviously, if you’re going to have a blog it involves a lot of writing. There will be days when you will enjoy it, and days when it annoys the crap out of you. 

But with some hard work and genuine effort, you can have an informative, interesting blog that will bring people in and even make you a little money. These are some simple steps you can take right now to improve your writing and blog your way to success.

 1. Keep an ideas notebook with you at all times

Like it or not, but we all have struggled coming up with decent content on some particular days. To be honest I sometimes just spend countless minutes just staring at the screen thinking of how to continue a post.

Sometimes when I’ve thought of a great post and start writing I think yes all is going well, but then BOOM…I just totally forget what I was going to write about and just have a mind block.

 Recognize the same problem with you as well?

You decide if the blog stands out from other blogs, right?

In order to make a blog successful you need to offer your audience different kinds of content. When a unique visitor comes to your blog for the first time, you will need to make your blog stand out from other blogs, so he will remember your blog. You will need to sell yourself to your audience and show them that your blog isn’t just another one of those MMO blogs. By thinking outside the box and having good content on your blog it won´t take long before your blog will be recognized.

The long old debate of how long a blog post should be, eh?

There are no limits on how long your blog posts can be, varying from 100 words to 500 words and sometimes even 1000 words.

Bloggers have the power to write long or short posts now days. If you feel like writing long posts you can do it’s all up to you or if you feel like writing short posts you can do that to.

Most bloggers do feel that long posts are better than short posts, because they have more information in the posts, but that doesn’t always have to be true.

Here are some ways to look at this situation.

1. Reader Attention Span

How do I write popular posts? Why can’t I write popular posts?

Popular posts are your blogs main attention and most important content on your blog. The first thing most visitors do when visiting a blog is look at the most popular posts. If they like the content they will check other posts as well, if they don’t they will leave.

If only you could make every post a success and attract lots of visitors and comments on your blog for every post you published.

Lets just say you was in this situation:
