It seems that there are still many people around the world who have doubt in the power of blogging, which is able to bring in good extra income. If you are one of them, I would like to correct your mindset here. Please do not look down at blogging and think that these miniature blogs are unable to generate income. In Part 1 of this article, I will tell you, why a blog is a good place to earn money and in Part 2, I will tell you how to monetize your blog by getting different source of income instead of merely depending on Google Adsense.

Firstly, a blog can be a powerful earning machine if you invest your energy and power to create unique content. If you update your blog 2 to 3 times a week, after a few months, your blog will be a huge site which contains many useful articles. If you apply Search Engine Optimization (SEO), this huge content will allow you to gain credibility and it may improve your ranking in Google, and hence increase organic traffic.

Secondly, a blog is easy to attract visitors because it fast and easy to get information. The archive feature of a blog allows visitors to browse through the information they want. If your blog is interesting, you can even get regular visitors as they will come back to your blog to check for updates frequently. Hence, over a long period, you are building your own base of visitors, which will ultimately generate income for you.

Besides that, a blog will provide the visitors a sense of friendliness if your articles can shape your own identity and uniqueness. This will also help you to retain your visitors and gain the visitors’ trust. By doing this, the Click Through Rate (CTR) for your affiliate links will increase when you are promoting the products. Not only this, the conversion rate will also improve tremendously because the visitors trust you and your reviews. I believe that a blog which has its own personal voice and uniqueness will be more powerful than a normal sales letter.

Thirdly, a blog is a good place to earn money for people who have no experience in online money making. Why do I say so? This is because creating a blog is absolutely free! You can easily create a blog at Blogger, Wordpress and Tumblr for free. Hence, this will minimize your risk if you are afraid of losing money in the Internet and if the only asset you have is Time.

In conclusion, creating a blog is definitely easier as compared to creating a website. However, please do not have the wrong concept that a blog will earn lesser money. If you want to know how blogging can earn you some extra income, please stay tune for the second part on how to monetize your blog and earn a steady income from it.

   Nicely put together. I agree that blogs, especially wordpress, are a lot easier to setup and update than a website built from scratch.

   By the way, I like your blog layout and design.
