Here I am sharing a very common money making tactics used by pros in a simplified manner.
Before that I would like to highlight the three fundamental basics of making money online. They are :
1. Good Content
2. Good Traffic
3. Monetization
You can pick any website online and run down their business model to these three steps.
So lets apply this method to a blog.
First we need to choose our keywords. To do that go to adwords keyword tracking tool or seobook keyword tool. Start with any broad keyword such as finance or technology. For this example I am starting with dog.
When you search for dog in seobook tool, you will get several results. Just keep refining your search by clicking on intresting keywords. For example click on dog breeds. It will lead you to searches related to it. Our target is to choose a keyword which has an over all searches of 300 or more. That is good number for competition and traffic. I have chosen "dog breeds with pictures".
Next step is to open google and search for the keyword phrase using quotes. EX search "dog breeds with pictures" and not dog breeds with pictures.
If you get less than 10000 search pages, you got a gold mine.
Now a choose a catchy domain name which has all or some of the words from your keyword. if Your keyword is long use only a few words from it. Shorter the better. People don't like typing long names if they want to comeback to your site.
Next, either setup a blogger blog or buy your own domain and hosting. Own hosting gives greater flexiblity in monetization. However, free blogs are cheaper.
Now search google for content. You can use news clips, articles and many more. you can even convert videos from youtube!!
You don't need to copy anything. we are just going to use it produce our own content. You can also search online newspapers for localised content. This helps if you are targeting a particular geographic area.
We now have our content. Next thing to do is get traffic.
The answer to traffic is also your content. If you put good seo'd content with high traffic keywords, it will be easy getting traffic from search engines.
One technique to get easy traffic is to use youtube.
I am running out of time. If you like what I am writing then let me know. I will post an update when I get back online.
Our two topics which are left are traffic and monetisation. I will update this in next session.
