When Can You Start Monetizing Your Blog?

Blogging Basics, Blogging Secrets

Blogging is not an overnight get rich quick rich scam. Blogging is a process and it does require dedication while you are in the learning curve. Most new bloggers and website builders think that the moment the put a website or blog traffic will start coming and you start monetizing. As a matter of fact, every newbie will focus only on the monetization part just to find out that after 2-3 months no money has been made and they just give up and say, blogging does work.

Why would I say this or how would I know? Well, I have been there and done that :-) during my initial attempts of blogging and website building I focused on the wrong areas. I tried the best themes, paid the highest fees to create websites; created the coolest banners, stripes, and every single strategy that could possible make me so money.

Despite all my efforts, I made little or no income from these early attempts. The blog did not grow or generated the traffic I would have liked it to. I also felt that the amount of work I put was not translating into enough traffic. Therefore, I generated a new “better” idea –bigger banner, better, colors. The truth is that all I did was made the same mistakes over and over again. I was focusing on the wrong parts of my blogs and ignore the most important my “content.”

The moment I created this site, with just pure legit, honest, valuable content, and more content, then, things change. Creating a site/blog with just valuable information changed not only my thinking about blogs and but it also created followers and monetization. When you finally create a community of followers then you start monetizing.

I am still in the process of redesigned my tag line but that is all trivial. Do you want to know why? Because I am still targeting the same audience and delivering the content they want to see. I write and create content for people who are starting in the internet because they want to build a business or improve what they already have and they don’t know where to start.

Every entrepreneur and small business owner must and has to undergo through the internet growing pains. I have been there and done that and that is why I created this site — to empower those who are trying to make a difference in their life.

Yours in Synergy,
