Can’t Make Money Blogging?

Most people that set up a blog have high hopes that it will make them lots of money. More often than not, they are hoping for that cash payout quicker than humanly or Googely possible! More people quit their blogs before they even get started because there is no quick money in it.

If you have started in the blogging industry their are lots of things that you need to do to get it noticed by Google. Now, this is not going to be a post about HOWto do this, because a lot of you already know about finding a niche, long tailed keywords, on page seo, and the different things that is needed for off page seo as well.

There is nothing wrong with shooting for the stars with a blog. You have to have goals to reach, and getting noticed on a national level would be a great place for your blog to be to make money! However, most people don’t realize that once they throw their “hat” in the ring for a particular keyword, you are competiting with thousands of other people that are wanting the same thing that you want-to get on the first page of Google. So in a sense to make money, this is harder than it sounds. Getting noticed by Google takes a lot of time and patience to do! This is why many people quit 3 weeks into the journey. They don’t understand why their blog is not making any money!

The New Idea

I am no professional, and I have only been blogging for two years now, so I’m no expert, but I do know this. Google follows people. Make sure your site is optimized fairly decent, however, don’t go so overboard with it that the Penguin will slap you! Here is my motto: Readers first, Google second. In other words, when you blog, blog for your visitor. Too many times I have stumbled onto a great site, only to be confused with the wording. It is evident in these blogs that they are trying too hard to make money with it. You can see the keywords stuffed inside the blog posts and it really deters from the blog and/or the idea or product that you are trying to push.

Conclusion

Don’t give up the first few weeks. I was one of those people two years ago that thought that blogging was a way to make easy money. Nope. Just like any other job, you have to work hard at it to get the nice payout. Time and patience is key when waiting for the big money.

Don’t be afraid to do your on site SEO. If you have a WordPress site, I recommend using WP Yoast. Fix up your meta descriptions, meta keywords, title tags, etc. But when it comes down to blogging. Be yourself, and blog for the person on the other side of the screen that will be looking at it. When I finally learned this, I started converting sales. More people started coming BACK to the site! Make your site for the reader and not the search engine and you will succeed!

  1. What can you advise for those just really beginning to blog. Although making money is not my first intention with the blog, I’m thinking of doing it in the future.

      Yes, as a famous blogger (John Chow) once said, “Reader first, Google second”. This is a great habit to get into. This guy brags about how he doesn’t even do SEO. I don’t know about that but I do know that he makes a killing online every month so he must be doing something right.

    Thanks for encouraging bloggers to be themselves. It is important to remember that blogging is a community and opens a dialogue to others. If we cannot engage in the dialogue, then we are not a contributing member of the blogging community. While Google is an important part, blogging must start with the readers.


  4. Twitter:
    Discipline and consistency for being natural on writing, SEO work, backlinking etc and most people do not want (or lazy) to do that, can’t wait for a long process then they just being a pathetic bloger that do not reach their dream and what they can get is only mind orgasm on getting fast money but nothing.

    By keep in touch with other blogger sharing information, and supporting each other by positive networking and relationship is another advantage value have to be done …and Yes ! it’s need a long time process. That’s why consistency and discipline are a ‘keyword’ for most blogger.

    Cheers

  5. Wade,

    This is only the second post that I have read of yours and it was very surprising to see that you have only been blogging for two years! You fooled me :-) . I particularly enjoyed this post because I have been striving to improve the traffic on my blog over the past few months with the hopes of that generating leads, which in turn, translate to making money! I am starting to look into guest blogging for its many, many advantages. Is this the only blog that you are a guest blogger on? I look forward to a reply and of course, more posts! Thanks again man.

  6. I agree with what you said about when writing, think about your readers, and the rest comes after that. If one person’s aim is to earn money with opening a blog in the first place, then most likely they will have a hard time if earning money is their main objective and not the satisfaction of the readers.
    Having a blog that has a lot of visitors must be every newbie blogger’s goal if they would want to succeed in blogging.
    Thanks for sharing this motivational post!

  7. How-to blogs always seem to drive traffic to my website. I think that “how to” blogs would probably be the most profitable. However, like Wade said, it’s not going to be THAT profitable.

  8. As per my knowledge more than 60% people quit blogging in their first month itself & other 30% in the 2nd month. Everyone wants to make money but nobody wants to think what it takes to make money. They don’t have patience. They want to see money immediately.
    And that is the reason scammers are successful in fooling such people by giving them immediate solutions to online income through so called fake secrets.

  9. If we aim to make money from blogs, we should monetize our site to make money. And most of the bloggers only blog for money and quits it if they didn’t get the desired income. So, by monetizing the site they can earn a lot

    Nice article here. There are many platforms to make free blogs on but I prefer to use my own domains and host them because of the risk of getting cut off. If your websites are owned by another company essentially you have no rights when it comes to them getting taken down.

  12. Yes Wade,

    I agree with you; too many a times we blog with the search engines in mind, not paying attention to the needs of the person who will be reading our blogs. Thanks for reminding us that its takes patience and a lot of hard work. Rome was not built in a day after all.
