Blogging - Not the same as making real money
First off let me apologize for giving up on this blog. After my little stint of turning this into an SEO “content is king” blog I started making real money doing niche marketing, if you’re interested in all that see this new blog.
Anyone on my RSS list will know that I stopped posting. What you don’t know is that I have been working on dozens of other sites. I have figured out the recipe for making cash and it is has nothing to do with blogging.
Incidentally I have realized that it is possible to make money while blogging if you pick the right niche and plan it properly. You plan it as a business first then do the blogging stuff second.
That’s how to make money with a blog.
No matter how good your content is you need the business mindset when creating the site. That’s why less than 1% of us actually make money with our sites.
A lot of it is SEO. Understanding the theory of how Google thinks and exactly how the algorithm works will give you a huge leg up in an ultra competitive niche. Here’s the thing–it’s not even necessary.
Stop sweating the intracacies of SEO. All you should worry about is link building. Rank #1 for something, make some money and then start worrying about how to repeat it with a big money site.
You need to do the small stuff and move on up to your own youtube-sized project. The smaller stuff will also help bankroll the bigger stuff.
Stop worrying, go link build.
