Blogging To The Bank - How To Turn A Hobby Into A Successful Business

In this article I am going to show you how you can turn your favourite hobby into a successful online business. If you can write then you can start your own successful internet business.

Let us look at for example if you were very passionate about golf. You played golf regularly and you knew a lot about golf. You could easily start a blog about golf and turn your passion into a home business.

The topic of golf would be your niche market. You could focus on one aspect of it say for example the golf swing. Register your own domain and use a free blogging tool like Blogger to publish your own blog on your own web hosting. It is very important though that you get your own hosting. This will allow you to get good search engine rankings and if you ever change your blogging software you will still have all the links pointing to your domain name in tact.

Blogging is a journal of your personal daily thoughts. Update your blog frequently at least three to five times a day. Submit your blog posts to blog carnivals as these will generate links to your website consequently increasing your link popularity. Also submit your blog to blog directories and blog articles to the major article directories. This will also increase your links.

The only thing left is that you need to monetize your website. You can do this by using Google Adsense, affiliate links and also leave a newsletter subscription form so that you can capture your visitor's email address and market to them over and over again using your autoresponder.
