18 Dec 11 One Great Blog Building Strategy Proven to Make Other People Wealthy (Now It's YOUR Turn!)

Do you want to get rich from your blog? It seems like a pretty silly question, right? I mean - 6 or 7 years ago, lots of people were blogging for the "art" of sharing their inner emotional experiences. Today? Most people are going for the GREEN..:-)

The truth is, blogging for big bucks is pretty easy. But it's NOT as effortless as some people make it seem. And it's NOT about the "Guru" strategies that will rob you not only of your money, but of the simple self esteem that you CAN do this without having to break your budget on silly ebooks and coaching clubs to do it. (because you don't - and you CAN, and you will....if you follow the simple steps below)

The BEST Way to make money with blogging is this: Use PPC ads to drive traffic to an opt in page outside of the blog "wrapper". Once you have the name, you follow up with a series of sequential messages that point to specific posts, on the blog itself that are a mixture of really good, valuable content, and interspersed affiliate offers. (or offers predicated on your own suite of services which is my own personal preference)

Why is this such an amazingly easy way to make money?

Because you can leverage strategies of scale. PPC ads (especially content network ads) are a great way to get incredible traction, visibility and explosive exposure. You can literally get millions of impressions in rapid fire turn around time, and if you know what you're doing, you WON'T pay much for the clicks themselves. (and remember, you are list building, so it's an amazingly fast, and hands off approach to building readers you simply CAN'T beat by creating content alone)

But the key is the blog itself. As you build your list, all you need to do is drive people BACK to your blog where you share stuff about yourself. (or even an affiliate product that you're selling on the blog) I love blogs because they're so personal, intimate and honest. You can be yourself. And people BUY (and believe) authenticity much more than a silly sequence of sales letters and boilerplate online marketing hyperbole.

If you don't have money for PPC? Use other broadcast "bully pulpits" like Twitter to augment your offers, and drive traffic to your blog.
