    #Blogging as a #SideHustle: Build Steady Streams of Income With a Blog and Dabbling With #AffiliateMarketing



    Realtime Website Traffic




    The internet can be your oyster in all ways imaginable. Your only limitation is your creativity. With so many ways of capitalizing from blogging, uploading videos to YouTube, and even reading magazines and blogging your own personal commentary, the world wide web can and will provide steady traffic, as well as a potential means of satisfactory income for you. The content you publish to your blog gets indexed by Bing.com, Google.com, and YaHoO.com, and builds steady search engine traffic back to your published pages over time.

    Let’s say you read a magazine. You're a faithful subscriber and you enjoy consistent reading of a certain magazine on a monthly or weekly basis. It could be a magazine about anything from finance, to social media, business, comedy, entertainment, home and garden, fashion, online video and music. You just read the article in the magazine and want to share how you feel about it online with others. You can blog how you feel when you have your own domain name and self-hosted WordPress blog on a dedicated server, because having a self-hosted blog allows you full administrative control over all content and backend server functions. Content is king on the internet and always will be.







    If you have a blog with contextual advertisements and affiliate links, simply pull up a Microsoft Word blank document, write a rough draft blog post, revise for spelling and grammar errors, and simply publish to your blog after reviewing the final draft. Once you've published your commentary on the magazine article you read, it'll be readily available for viewing on the web. The good thing about blogging is allowing people to adjust to your writing personality, in addition to having those nice contextual ads alongside your blog posts, so you can possibly earn income from what you blogged about.

    If you seek to expand viewership of your blog posts and increase the probability of earing more money from ads on your blog, try uploading a few videos to YouTube with a link to the specific blog post in the header of your video description. What better way would it be to entice readers to click the lnk and possibly read your blogs and buy something from one of your affiliate ad links? Sweet, right? Online video is more powerful than most people think.

    Hopefully, this quick blogging advice will inspire you to start a blog if you haven't already done so and get your feet wet with making money online.


    Food for thought: Most people wonder why aspiring bloggers earn huge sums of income from promoting affiliate programs on their blogs versus others who only earn a can of beans. Ambitious bloggers create lots and lots of content for their blogs on a daily basis or every other day. Other bloggers don't have a complete understanding how to earn substantial income from their blogs and probably struggle finding quality good paying affiliate networks to join as Affiliated publishers. Some bloggers are merely lazy and think posting once a week will help them boost search engine rankings and make money online 24 hours a day when that's certainly not the case.


    If you hope to succeed in blogging, you have to get in the mindset of consistency. Most importantly, you also have to get in the consistent mindset of creating lots and lots of content better known as “Evergreen content.” Evergreen content is a process of creating long form blog posts or web pages in excess of 1500 words or more. Serving longer pages provides readers with more information and lets them know that you're not publishing content just for better SEO - search engine optimization. Blogging can be a full-time career for you based on what you make of it. If you invest a few hours a day before or after starting your job or work on your blog daily while unemployed,and most importantly, stay consistent with your blogging efforts for at least 2 to 3 years, you can achieve side hustle millionaire status and get your blog to the point financially where as you no longer need a day job and can live off of your blog as a 100% living. But it's all up to you to make that happen.


    This is something for you to truly think about. Do you want to keep working for an unthankful employer that allegedly robs you of pay raises and commissions? Or are you willing to swim into the abyss of uncertainty as an ambitious entrepreneur and do the transformation business work by starting your side hustle blogging career today out of inspiration or desperation? The choice is yours.

    Something to truly think about. Have a blessed and productive day.
