Niche blogging

What you need to be doing, is to choose a niche to blog about and focus on sharing value about that niche.

You also need to generate traffic to your blog to increase your numbers of visitors, and also to increase your level of earnings from your blog. If you have a limited budget then you can generate traffic through free methods. On the other hand if you are able to spend money to generate traffic then you can buy advertising as well. The ultimate method would be to combine free traffic strategies and paid traffic strategies of course. You can generate free traffic by leaving your blogs URL as a signature at different online marketing forums and in your signature in your emails for instance. You could also upload videos on YouTube where you put your blogs URL in the description field for the video. You could also join different blogging groups on different social platforms such as Facebook. In these groups bloggers exchange comments and social sharing at each other blogs. There are two reasons for this; to get more exposure and free traffic, and also to improve the blogs search engine rankings. I wish you all the success with your blogging.
