I've been reading a lot of things on blogging and how to earn money blogging, but what exactly am I supposed to write about? How will writing about those topics, writing that certain way make me money? How do I get readers? I have a blog (blogspot) and have no problem consistently writing, just I don't have any readers and don't exactly know what I am supposed to write about that will help me make money. I did read many threads here looking for answers but it seems that those are not important elements. I also advertised for my blog on Craiglist. The traffic that comes from Craiglist isn't that much.
If there is something I'm missing out here, I'd love to know. Thanks so much 5 star forum. I've already learned much from here, and I think that there is more for me to learn here too. Thanks so much!
So my plan right now, is to scratch the old ones that were going nowhere and start again. I'm going to use blogger for now, posts about my passion for guitars, concerts, and a few affiliate links in them.
After the site is done, I would go and start spreading it. Advertise on Craig's list is the only one I can think of right now, but I believe making a squidoo lens might help, maybe some specific interests social group. Update the site once a day at first, then just go on posting and posting (not sure about what). Maybe slap on Adsense? I know that DiamondSEO said that it's not a good idea to have Adsense WITH a affiliate blog.
As I may be very confusing to you readers, I'll basically go out there and just attempt to bomb my way out first, and trying every tactic to gain traffic, then hopefully it's a system that works... (or don't...).
So what's on your mind that might help?
I'm sure you could be very knowledgeable.
