What does it take to turn your hobby blog into a fully fledged business? You’re about to find out……
Making money from blogging
- You’ve heard it a million times but yep it’s so important – CONTENT. How can your blog help people do something faster, cheaper or better?
- Know what brands you want to work with & pitch appropriately
- Treat your blog as a business from the start
Take advantage of those early months of blogging and try new things – see what works for you – what do you enjoy blogging about & what is easy. THEN blogging will never feel like a chore
WHAT MAKES THE TOP BLOGGERS SUCCESSFUL?
I asked the ‘Who’s the Mummy’ blogger how can we really succeed in the world of blogging – how on earth did that mummy blogger down the road become so successful? Here’s Sally top observations from the thousands of bloggers she knows
- They know who they are & what their blog is really about
- The most successful bloggers HUSTLE hard – they treat their blog as a business from the beginning
- Top bloggers have a consistent tone across all social media, the same style of images & are posting consistently
- They guest post, they get themselves in the media, they get offline and tell people about their blog – they do everything they can do get people to read their blog
- The little things – put your blog url in your email signature, get active on social media
- Successful bloggers are themselves & invest in their blog
- They realise that there is NO SECRET to being a top blogger! You need to work hard
- Successful bloggers look at their analytic’s for social media & their blog & then TAKE ACTION on what their analytical data says
- They DON’T WASTE TIME looking at what other bloggers are doing & obsess over it – they look at other blogs for inspiration but then work hard on their own blog
The difference between a hobby blogger and a pro blogger is that they are professional – they meet all deadlines, they are consistinet, they photos & writing are high quality and they hustle hard
