Some Ways to Make Money Blogging

By John Hubert

So you're no doubt heard of people who know how to make money blogging, but you're probably wondering if you can be just like them? The answer is that yes, of course you can, however such things take hard work and dedication.

You see, making money online isn't necessarily an easy task, in fact it's a lot harder than most people think. You can' t simply set up a blog and within a week start racking in absurd amounts of profit. It quite simply doesn't work like that.

When trying to learn how to blog, the platform that I always recommend to people is Wordpress. Wordpress is a great format to start your blog on, and will provide you a number of features and a variety of plugins that you can use to monetize your blog and make money from it. Of course this isn't to say that you can simply install a few plugins and start to make money from blogging immediately, it will require a lot of posting on your behalf, and exposure of your blog.

So just how do you actually make money from it, as you're no doubt wondering? The best way to do this is through a process known as backlinking. By getting backlinks to your blog you'll be bumping up its position in the search engine rankings. This is essentially what you want to do as by doing so you'll be able to rank highly under a competitive keyword term. Now how do you obtain backlinks? You may think this is easier said than done, but you can quite easily obtaing backlinks from blogging by commenting on other peoples blogs.

Offer insightful, helpful comments that you feel contribute to the discussion, and then for your name include a link back to your web site. This will allow you to gain diversity in your links to your site, and allow you to rank under many different terms. As your site gains ranking within the search engines, you'll end up attracting visitors, and this of course, is essentially all there is to make money blogging.

By applying this simple principle of acquiring backlinks, you'll be able to rank yourself within the search engine results quite easy and freely, and with time and practice you'll be able to rank multiple sites, and blogs, and you may even enjoy blogging whilst you make money. In time the process will seem second nature.
