Why Blogging?
If you’re reading this, I assume you’re either a) a student, b) a budding entrepreneur, or c) someone who wants to become either. If you’re among these people, then this course is for you. We’ll teach you how to build a profitable blog around a niche.
Blogging is an ideal way to build your brand, attract potential customers, and generate revenue. Here are just a few reasons why.
1. It’s Affordable.
Blogging is an ideal way to develop your digital footprint. You don’t need to spend a large sum of money to start a blog. You can use a free platform like WordPress to build your audience. Once you have an audience, you can use a service like Google Adsense to monetize your blog.
In case you’re wondering, a typical blog costs around $5 to $15/mo to maintain. Not including any revenue generating activities like affiliate marketing or selling and displaying ads.
2. It Has Endless Potential.
While some businesses have limited success with blogging, the majority of businesses and entrepreneurs that we work with see blogging as a key part of their digital marketing strategy.
The vast majority of successful blogs are created using WordPress. It’s the most popular content management system around, and one of the main reasons is because it has endless potential. WordPress has a built-in monetization strategy, as well as a marketplace that you can use to find and connect with potential advertisers.
WordPress also has a built-in audience, which you can use to determine the number of blog posts you’ll need to create each month to reach your target audience.
3. It Has Flexible Hours.
If you’re a student, you might need to devote a lot of your time to your studies. But you can still create value for your audience by posting blogs from time to time. Even if you only post once or twice a week, you’ll still be able to engage with your audience because they’ll still be there to see your content.
If you’re self-employed or a freelancer, you might have flexible hours but you still need to generate revenue. Building and running a successful blog is one of the best ways to do this. You can use your blog to promote your services or products, attract potential customers, and create a community.
Even if you only have a few hours each week that you can devote to your blog, it’s worth it. It will help you grow your business, and allow you to work remotely if you’re a freelancer. Flexible hours are great for people with kids, or people who want to be available for their kids after school hours. So you may not always be available to answer emails directly, but you will be able to do so through your blog. The key is to make sure that you’re being accessible to your audience and that you’re providing value throughout the process. If you can do that, there’s no reason why your blog shouldn’t be able to flourish.
4. It Has A Longer Life.
If you’re on social media, you know that posts are supposed to have a short life span. Just a few minutes or hours, and then it’s done.
Blogs, on the other hand, have a much longer life span. It’s not uncommon for blogs to remain active weeks, months, or even years after being originally published. The lifespan of a blog is based on how engaging the content is. If a blog posts a lot of value, people will come back for more.
5. It Provides Greater Visibility.
If you’re a brand, product, or service provider, getting your name out there is vital in order to gain credibility and trust with your audience.
However, this often requires quite a bit of work and can be quite expensive. Running a blog provides you with a way to get your name out there, and generate leads and customers. You can also use your blog to establish yourself as an expert in your industry. If you have experience and knowledge in a particular area, you can use this to your advantage by establishing yourself as an authoritative voice in your industry. If you can do this successfully, you can then begin to sell and promote your products and services using the blog as a mechanism to do so.
6. It Provides An Opportunity To Be More Creative.
As a content creator, blogger, or social media manager, you’ll typically have a backlog of content that you need to work through. For this reason, it can be quite challenging to come up with new ideas for content as it’s already starting to pile up again.
But if you’re running a blog, you can be more creative with the content you create. If you want to write about a particular topic or industry, you can do so. But you can also use your blog to discover new topics, or to expand on existing ones. Through trial and error, or by reading other successful blogs in your industry, you can then begin to develop content strategies that will help you and your blog to become more successful.
7. It Provides An Opportunity To Be More Social.
If you’re on social media, you know that it’s all about engaging with your audience. Even when you’re not directly paying for adverts, you’re still benefiting from them. By creating and maintaining a blog, you can then use social media to directly engage with your audience.
You can ask questions, give advice, and share information. But you can also use the content that you create to build an ever-growing digital footprint. If you have a sizable audience, you can then use this to your advantage by establishing yourself as a thought leader in your industry. If you want to become a successful entrepreneur, blogger, or content creator, building a blog around a niche is one of the best routes to do so.
8. It Provides An Opportunity To Be More Authentic.
As an entrepreneur, blogger, or content creator, you’ll typically have to grow your business organically. This means that you’ll have to learn to really appreciate and value the value that your blog provides.
By establishing yourself as an expert in your industry, you can then begin to monetize your blog and provide more value to your audience. If you can do this successfully, you can then begin to sell and promote your products and services using the blog as a mechanism to do so.
But if you want to be more authentic, you might want to consider creating a blog without a brand or corporate backing. Doing this will then allow you to truly establish yourself as an expert in your industry. If you can do this successfully, it will then be a lot easier to sell and promote your products and services using the blog as a mechanism to do so. Your readers will then believe in you, and your authentic approach, more so than if you’d used a corporate brand.
9. It Provides An Opportunity To Be More Proactive.
If you want to become a successful entrepreneur, blogger, or content creator, taking the initiative to build a business that provides value is vital.
By establishing yourself as an expert in your industry, you can then begin to monetize your blog and provide more value to your audience. If you can do this successfully, you can then begin to sell and promote your products and services using the blog as a mechanism to do so.
