My plans for this blog to create income is with long term in view. I’m not looking to make an ‘overnight success‘ (unless it’s Atwood’s definition). Why? Because making money from this site is not the main reason.
There are a lot of ways you can take shortcuts to build traffic (and income with your blog) and many sites are created to give that advice to you.It doesn’t mean you have to follow all the advice as some of it hurts your in the long term, but benefits you up front.
Look at the long term consequences when considering how to monetize your sites. Sometimes bloggers can be in a rush to cash in with what little equity they have.
You have to ask yourself, what are you building? If you’re making an income generating site, then shortcuts can help you achieve your goal quicker. If you want to build a community, it’ll take some time.
Writing quality posts, creating useful videos, or making great audio shows aren’t instantly made. You have to plan it out. Some people are gifted and can blog off the cuff, but for most people we have to write and rewrite to get something good published.
Good content, though, is not the only thing that creates value. Talking with others, to hear their thoughts, get feedback on improving content,and asking for help for blog design allow you to grow your site’s value.
Once you found your rhythm and voice on the blog and have built a community, then you can worry about money. In fact,some of your readers may be bloggers and could help you with improving income flow.
Enjoy what you do and keep improving on your skills to lay a solid foundation. Build a community from the foundation. Money will usually come a lot easier.
