(How You Built a $100,000/Month Blog)

How to make money blogging changed your life forever but it's not just us we've been able to help people like faith hawks go from zero dollars and no blog to making over five thousand dollars per month blogging and being able to quit her job to help people fight with anxiety and depression. Here are 10 easy steps that make your blogs worthy. 

 1. Strat Your Blog The Right Way:

Start your blog the right way just like a home needs a great foundation so does your blog we do this in these easy steps … 

1. First We Choose The Right Blog Niche:

Good topic for you to talk about on your blog so choose a blog niche and a topic that you are either interested in learning about are something that you kind of already know about

2. Select Your Domain Name:

The domain name is another word for URL and the URL of YouTube is youtube.com again this is another place where most people spend a lot of time overthinking our first blog was avocado.com that name honestly is kind of weird, most people don't know how to spell avocado go ahead and try uh and then it's with you unless your fam friends and family kind of forget it because it's kind of easily forgettable. how little names actually mean Samsung could be a local music store avis could be a place where you bought drones on the internet and SpaceX could be a website dedicated solely to astronaut porn the thing that defines these businesses is not their name per se it's what they do so don't overthink it you don't have to come up with some perfectly clever name to succeed as a blogger.

I promise finally you want to set up your blog with the right hosting and the right platform and by far the best place for you to get started is WordPress now I know there are some other options out there like Wix and squares pace but the problem with those is those websites are more geared to stagnant standalone websites so something like a personal portfolio or a resume they're not that great when it comes to getting continuous blog traffic coming in overtime to your blog and having continually updated posts they're just not optimized for that what's going to end up happening if you start with the squares pace Wix is you're going to end up going back to WordPress. 

2. Make Your Blog Sexy Through Blog Design:

The right way and building it and designing it and doing all that stuff again the link will be in the description whenever you're ready to take step number two make your blog sexy through blog design let's walk through some simple steps.

1. Blog Theme:

choosing the right blog theme is like choosing the right or wrong car at a used car dealership you choose the wrong car you're going to spend hours and headaches on the car breaking down and on maintenance to fixing everything, it's going to be a constant hassle in your life versus if you choose the right car and you never have any problems with it you're going to feel great right now the best free themes out there are flash blog ocean and Hestia while some of the best-paid themes are dive and genesis and don't forget to install the element or plugin because it's a great page builder that's a perfect drag and drop for a newbie wanting to get started and building their blog and making it look the way that you want to... 

2. Optimizing It For Mobile:

over 60 to 70 percent of visitors on the internet these days are visiting through their phones so some things that might look amazing on your desktop might look really good as there will look like on a phone so always check your work and choose an easy-to-read font like lotto or an open sans or a robot because ain't nobody got time to read that cute but illegible font okay so now you've started your blog and got a design like you want to.

3. Create The content People Need :

Create the content people need it's time to answer the million-dollar question of what should I write about well this is a rather simple answer if your goal is to make money. you need to create the content that other people are searching for on the internet every day millions of people type in searches into google Pinterest YouTube when looking for videos and articles and blog posts trying to solve their problems if you're able to serve that content to them the best and get to the top of those search engines well it's very easy to make money online okay it's not super easy but it's a lot easier than you think here's how you do this first you start doing keyword research see there are all sorts of tools on the internet to see how often people are typing in certain terms so we can see that people look for how to make money blogging over 135 000 times per month and that's exactly why I write this Blog.

1. Keyword Searching:

Start with a tool like keywords everywhere it's a completely free chrome extension that you can install and type in anywhere you type into a search bar you will be able to see the volume of that search term being looked at another great free tool that most people often under use is Pinterest type in your topic into the search bar and hit enter after the page loads if you look to the right you will see all sorts of additional suggestions these are keywords people are looking for as well and using this method will help you come up with endless topics that you can cover on your blog or website after using these tools for a while you can upgrade to more professional tools like seem rush and Google's keyword planner which will give you more accurate search data now this doesn't mean you only have to post things that people are searching for there's room to create your own sort of unique content when making money blogging you just need to follow the 80 20 rule 80 of the content that you create should be that things that people are searching for and problems that they're trying to solve and 20 should be uh where you flex on them a little bit and tell them a little bit more about you and and blog about the things that you want to write about okay so after your first five posts are written.

4. Get Traffic To Your Blog:

Get traffic to your blog there are lots of ways to get readers to your blog there's Pinterest Facebook Google SEO YouTube Instagram guest blogging email drips forums snapchat and I'm sure a dozen more that I haven't listed there the biggest tip that I can give you right off the bat is to start with one traffic source I know there are lots of entrepreneurs telling you that you need to be everywhere and be on every social media and be on every platform but the truth is is as kind of a one-man show what ends up happening with most people is when they try to be everywhere they usually end up just sucking at everything that's why we tell our followers to try to instead of sucking at everything master one are two of these things are like red foreman said don't half-ass everything whole ass one thing keep up with a smart mouth and my foot will be nine tenths of the way up your ass so the next question you should probably have is how do I find the perfect traffic source for my blog there are tons of different factors to consider here including competition type of platform demographics of your target market and more so to make this simple here are my thoughts on the top 5 traffic sources.

1. Facebook:

Facebook has the most users of really any social platform but it also comes with the highest competition and Facebook has recently made algorithmic changes that really doesn't feature blog posts anymore it's very few and far between that you'll read blogs much more the content is geared towards memes and video content and things that just aren't blog posts Facebook groups however are still going very strong and it's actually a great place to meet my like-minded bloggers but it might not be the best source for driving traffic to your website but that being said i wouldn't write it out because those groups can be so valuable especially to beginners starting off we have a group called the honest bloggers community as well so feel free to check it out in the description to find these groups you can just type in your search term into Facebook search bar and hit click groups and you'll see dozens and dozens of groups on almost any topic again not the best way to drive traffic to your blog but a great way to interact with potential customers and peers and people you look up to in your industry 

2. Instagram: 

Instagram follows a similar trajectory as Facebook where it has a high amount of users but it also has a high amount of competition and the thing is it is a purely visual platform yeah you can write captions in the description but really if you're not creating dope images you're not going to get anywhere on Instagram so the niches you want to be in to succeed on Instagram are going to be mainly visual things like travel health and fashion work really well because they're visually stimulating unfortunately and something to keep in mind its kind of stupidly hard to get people off of Instagram and onto your email list or onto your blog post or over to your products people tend to stay inside of the app and Instagram has designed it that way that being said we've had students like the college nutritionist uh go to ten thousand dollars per month and more uh running a successful Instagram so it can be done.

3. Google:

Google is similar to Facebook and Instagram that has high competition but it comes with one big difference and that difference is that it's a search platform so the people that type in how to make money blogging for example will continue to type that in month after month after month and you will get organic traffic coming in all the time this is very different than Instagram or Facebook where things are more viral in nature and then they die off over time so Facebook and Instagram you kind of have this constant need to roll out this new crazy mind-blowing content when on something like google you can optimize your posts and continue to be shown over and over and over again sucking in that organic traffic but obviously because of this value it's very hard to get the top of search it can take a long time to do and just be prepared that it is the route that you want to go on you need to go in for the long haul it might take you up to six months to get serious traffic to your blog .

4. YouTube:

YouTube is an entirely completely different animal from them all it is the highest barrier to entry by far because most people do not want to get on camera and I understand why this barrier to entry provides actually an easy way to connect with your audience and build a following and drive them back to your blog and make purchases with them but again it comes with a high buried entry because shooting videos is difficult and very time consuming so if you're extraordinarily good looking are just are like me and don't mind being on camera YouTube might be a great option for you.

5. Pinterest:

Pinterest last but not least our favorite traffic source for bloggers is Pinterest like YouTube and Google is also a search engine so there's that opportunity for organic traffic but unlike google it doesn't take as long to get results we've had tons of people take our Pinterest traffic avalanches course and go from zero views to over 20 000 views a month on their blogs because of its speed of results and the fact that you can get organic traffic Pinterest does end up being our number one traffic source for bloggers if you're in almost any niche I would definitely give Pinterest a try all right so you've built your blog you've designed it you've started to get your first readers your first visitors checking out the content that they want to see now it's time to turn those readers into raving fans.

5. Build A Subscriber For Club Through Email:

Build a subscriber fan club we were going to need to collect emails because we had always thought of emails and the inbox is just some terrible thing that she never wanted to do because all she got was spam all the time but here's the truth about blogging is that most people are never going to buy your products until they've built up a certain level of trust with you and the best place to build that trust is through an email list we've tracked the data on click meter and we can clearly see that our email list provides us much better purchase rates than just linking our products on our blog an email list. is one of the most valuable assets you have as a blogger and setting it up is not as hard as you think the basic formula is that you first create a lead magnet this is just a simple download for people to have a checklist or a simple guide will work you'll want to create a small but helpful download for people so that they can give that you can give that to them in exchange for their email address then you need to add these opt-ins to your blog with an email subscriber service like a convert kit this is actually a very easy process to do this way when people are scrolling through your posts they see the opportunity to put it get your download they put in their email address and receive the download?
finally what you'll want to do is create an automated email sequence this is just an automated sequence of emails that you send after somebody gets your download these are called often an indoctrination campaign it's more like a get-to-know-you thing where you're kind of helping them out with whatever problem that they're trying to solve at the same time sort of explaining a little bit about more about you about what you're about why you created your blog again all designed to build that trust and turn that subscriber into a real true fan great now your blog is all set up it's beautifully designed you're getting people in the door you're getting your first few subscribers.

6. The Different Types Of Ways To Make Money:

Now going to learn the different types of ways to make money and they're really five of them what we're going to do now is we're going to go over an overview of these different ways and then we're going to walk you through which steps you should start with a kind of what phases of your blogging journey.

1. ADS:

The first way to make money is through ads now there are a few different types of the first that you probably know about are...

1. Display ads are ads that are uh you're scrolling through content and then you'll see an ad for something or like right before this YouTube video I'm sure there was a display ad another term for this is pay-per-click because when somebody clicks on it you get paid.

2. Sponsored Content this is when somebody like a big company pays you to write a review or write something about their product.

3. Giveaway this is very similar to sponsored content but instead of the company paying you they give you their product for free.

2. Affiliate Marketing:

Affiliate marketing is where you earn money promoting another person's product or service so let's say you write a post about your top five favorite books on whatever topic your blog is about what you can do is you can actually link those books in the blog post themselves and link them to amazon when somebody clicks and checks out that book and says and says okay that looks awesome I'm gonna buy it like the reviews you know four and a half stars looks good to me when they buy that product then you will get a small commission from Amazon and that is kind of affiliate marketing now affiliate marketing is a huge category and you can make a lot of money on it and I'll go over that in the next section but just so you know it's when you sell other people's products or services uh through links on your blog. 

3. Own Digital Products & Services: 

1. eBooks these are electronic books like kindle downloads there are printables and workbooks where people can purchase a printable that you've created and print them out and use it for themselves something like a journal or a workbook before you make fun of that or think anything sarcastic about it I do know a blogger who makes over 200 grand per month selling printable mind blown.

2. Online courses so online teachings and training that where you can teach them via video

3. Membership Websites where people pay a certain amount to get access to regularly updated content usually by themselves.

4. Physical Products we sell a product uh probiotic called gut 14 on our health and wellness blog now you'll find with physical products they're actually a lot easier to sell because they're tangible good right people can when they buy that product they get something tangible back but it's much more satisfying usually than a digital product but also as well there are margins to be had so there are you have to ship the product you have to create the product you have to manufacture the product that's uh that's a lot more steps than selling something like a digital product but we'll get into that in a minute.

5. Services speaking engagements digital services, dog walking, speaking engagements for dog walking coaching, virtual assistants, freelance writing, and whatever service people are dogs or whoever needs you can sell it through your blog in fact it's a great way to do this because you're already building massive trust with your audience, there are okay those are the types of ways to make money blogging.

7. Start with Ads and Sponsored Posts:

Starting with ads and sponsored posts the first thing that we see bloggers doing when they first start their website is usually running around trying to throw up Google AdSense on their website to make a quick buck the problem is that the reality of your ad earnings is probably going to fall pretty short of your expectations.

Ads are kind of a good place to start earning for newbies just because they can be motivational or give you a little inspiration at the beginning but it is not the primary way you need to be monetized you need to be focused on the bigger picture here try to wait until you're getting a consistent amount of traffic so you can partner with premium ad networks the one that we partner with is one called add thrive but there are a few others including media vine media, net propeller ads and I'm sure a few more this will net you a lot more money than just throwing up google AdSense and praying that somebody clicks sponsored posts.

8. Progress and Master Affiliate Marketing:

There are risks associated with every form of monetization method when it comes to blogging but affiliate marketing is unique as it will teach you not only how to sell but it will also prepare you for creating your own future products mastering affiliate marketing is usually kind of one of the key steps to becoming a successful blogger you'll see that a lot of successful bloggers.

First, start on affiliate marketing start making money affiliate marketing learn how to make money, and then progress on uh to higher margins with their own products and services just like in our example when we talked about writing a blog post on the top five books and your recommended niche you can start out by doing this exact process with amazon associates this is the very small very easy way to start out in affiliate marketing.

Amazon Associates is easy and the reason I tell you to start out there is that everybody uses amazon it makes a very simple way to get your first few transactions and feel good about blogging and its potential right off the get-go getting signed up isn't too hard just go type in amazon associates to google and you can join for free once you're approved you can recommend any amazon product on your blog.

we make over 500 per month doing this once you've sold a few affiliate products at amazon it's time to start leveling up your affiliate marketing and thinking about going b b++-g to big affiliate networks and partnering with a bigger product so there are networks like click bank share sale, affiliate recruiting and so many more these networks are going to give you a much higher price commission than something like amazon but keep in mind they're going to be much more difficult to sell because they're not checking out using amazon's platform you have to learn how to build a lot of trust with your readers and that's why I said at the beginning you need to start an email list because that's the best place to start selling higher-priced 

Affiliate courses and products and other things yeah okay now you've got some money rolling in from affiliate marketing starting to get down the sales process and learn about how to sell through your blog and how to build trust with your readers you're building a fan base building people who are interested in what you're doing it's time to move on …

9. Own products and services (Physical and Digital) :

we started out by promoting a yoga product through affiliate marketing where we're making about five dollars per sale so even when we're selling 10 products per day we're only making about 1500 per month off this yoga product is 1500 a month is great and it's an amazing amount of money but it is not a full-time income for a blogger. 

if the product that we were selling was all right but we're like I think we can make it better what if we tried to make this product even better than the one that we're already selling and sell it to our audience they know us and trust us and like us let's try selling our own well not only did it sell really well. 

The power of creating your own products and services you control the margins you control the prices you control the sales page you control the entire system and the entire flow of selling your own product that's why all the biggest bloggers know all the ones that are making the most money well they sell their own stuff this does not have to be digital products either this can be physical products as well the key here is to do something better than what is before you so you don't want to just go around and replace your affiliate links with your own crappy products.

The results are not going to be what you want three two one as well as there's always going to be products that are better suited as an affiliate product versus you creating your own it's just something to keep in mind something like hosting like I'm not going to create a hosting company so I'm going to partner with somebody like Bluehost who is a hosting company where I can sell hosting packages also as said before you can sell your services whether you're a public speaker virtual assistant freelance writer you can sell all of these products and services on your blog selling your own products.

This is the only true way to scale your blog and this is how you take something from a thousand dollars a month to ten thousand dollars a month and do so passively do so without uh actively constantly having to work and trade hours for dollars okay at this stage you've come a long way you started your blog you designed it well you created awesome content you drove traffic to the blog you collected email subscribers you've been monetizing in a variety of different ways and now you've got kind of your blog set up you've made your own courses made your own products you've found your audience found your voice found these things the next part is actually a very fun part of blogging.

10. Scale and Optimize :

This is the really fun part because really you've done a lot of the hard work now your job is to just scale what you do and again this is what makes blogging such a different thing than let's say going and working for somebody going and working for somebody they're going to pay you. when you're blogging and creating your own products and services just a few tweaks here or there are getting a blog post to go viral or creating some new content immediately raises your income and this is kind of a two-part process.

I want to show you how it works really quickly sales equals traffic times conversion rate and I want to show you how your conversion rate on your sales page is one percent so for every thousand visitors on your sales page you make 10 sales now let's say you add a few testimonials to your sales page and include a couple more in your email sales funnel that bumps your conversion rate to two percent which means that you have just doubled your sales now a thousand visitors is getting at two percent which is 20 sales so you've just doubled your income that's crazy now let's say you start working on google SEO as an additional traffic source and can get an extra thousand customers to your sales page that doubles your sales page again.

the amount of work you do ends up reflecting much better on the actual income that you make the final piece on how to make money blogging is to scale and raise those conversion rates and here are some of the main ways that you can do this you can add in testimonials improve your page speed make changes to your sales page make changes to your sales funnel and a few other marketing changes but those are the main ones this part of making money blogging is really fun because you can often see the changes right in front of your eyes and it's very cool to watch.
