Dont Blog for Profit! It Will Go Wrong!

Introduction

Blogging has seen an incredible rise from nothing to something everyone seems to do! As with everything it is evolving, and it's not holding back either! It didn’t take long for people to realize that you can make money from blogging.

Stampede of Rubbish

This opportunity has led to a glut of web users creating blogs purely on the intention of selling ad space on the blog simply to make money. The problem with this is the intention, the intent in everything you do always affects the outcome. In the case of blogging you are so focused on getting visitors to the blog that you spend all the time submitting to directories and linking from forums that you spend very little time on the actual content – and a good blog has good content! This leads to a poor blog.

If the trend continues then the value of blogging could significantly decrease, if 95% of blogs across the web are filled with a load of rubbish you don’t want to read then you will just stop reading blogs all together!

Key To Succeeding

The key to succeed in blogging is to NOT blog on the intention of earning money. This isn’t as hard as it sounds! Just find a topic you like, create a blog and if you like it then you will not lose interest in it and you will be able to write quality content. The fact is that quality content gets seen and read. It could get picked up by Google News or Technorati, or featured in blog carnivals or other popular blog review sites, and other bloggers link to it or its gets a ‘digg’. And when you do get picked up that is when large amounts of visitors start to roll in! From here you can build a solid reader-base.

Time to Insert

When you have good some good natural exposure purely from the quality of your blogging – that is the time to implement ads. The highly targeted, large volume of visitors will mean you get decent earnings from your blog, but its all because of the content, and you shouldn’t abuse that fact. You now have the reader-base and the web presence so its vital you keep on writing top-quality content, even if its only once a month! Otherwise the visitors will stop and so will the money!

Conclusion

I hope this article clearly explains why you should blog for the right reasons, not for money. If blogging carries on the way it is going then its credibility could take a dive and it would be a massive shame. The fact is that blogging and profit can fit together, its just the profit should be earned form content – not just mass promotion.

So I encourage you to go forth and create a new blog or develop an existing one, write top quality content (and have a pretty design) – and you will succeed!
