Blog Income Secrets – You Need More than Content and Value

Unless you’re completely new to the blogging scene, you’ve probably heard two things. One is that content is king and the other is that offering real value to your readers is vital. But knowing this and acting on it isn’t enough. A less talked about secret of earning big blog income is that great content and providing value won’t get you there by themselves. That may seem to contradict what you’ve heard, but it doesn’t. Allow me to explain.

When top blogs make money, they surely have great content that provides value to their readers, but they have several more characteristics. By far the most important is that people read them. They have lots of visitors (traffic). That is, their blogs get thousands of visitors a day.

Great content is crucial. Providing real value is crucial. But if no one finds your blog, you’re not going to make money. There are tens of millions of blogs out there. If you’re writing about a popular topic (and you should be), you’ll have competition. You’ll probably find tens, if not hundreds of blogs covering the same topic. So just getting visitors to your blog can be a challenge.

Once you have lots of loyal readers, you’re getting close, but still not out of the woods. Earning money from your blog (monetizing it) is the next step you must take. Just because you have visitors it doesn’t mean you’re going to make money. You need a solid plan for how you’re going to make money if your blogging is going to pay off.

So as you can see, delivering value to your readers isn’t nearly enough. Two more things are necessary. One is getting visitors, lots of visitors to your blog. The other is getting them to spend money. You’ll need to master both of these if you really want to profit from your blogging.
