Tips

September 29, 2011 How To

I posted this in response to someone spamming this page on reddit…

If you want to make money blogging, here’s some tips.

1. Don’t put up some crap in the user’s way that they have to close to read what you blogged. All it does is make users so frustrated that they leave your blog entirely.

2. Use proper grammar and punctuation in blog posts. That first sentence is nearly indecipherable. Also, use the proper words. “Many people use their birth name,” not “there.” If your English is not good enough to do this, hire someone to edit your writing. If you aren’t making enough to pay someone to edit, your advice probably isn’t all that great.

3. Don’t spam reddit. It isn’t going to make you money. If anything, purchase a reddit ad. Especially if your ads pay per sale rather than per view, as most of your ads seem to do (if I’m wrong on that, please correct me). You may get a few people looking to see how stupid your link is, but reddit users are generally too smart to buy that crap.

4. Connect the things you’re trying to sell to the blog posts. You say you know the secrets, but you need to tell people that they can learn the secrets too by buying what you’re trying to sell. (Don’t say it just like that, of course.)

    Another thing is that if your going to blog, make the blog short and simple. Stick to one subject and make a point. There have been too many blogs that I’ve read and found that people would ramble about stuff that isn’t related to the subject they have posted. If your whole blog is about anime or gaming, stick that that. In fact, for now just stick to one subject period.

    Also, before posting your blog online for the whole world to see, proof read your article and wait like three days before posting it up. During those three days, re-read the article and if there is any errors or grammar issues, just edit it. Have someone go over your article or if you can’t find someone to do that, read out loud of what you have written. This way, if the sentence sound funny, just edit the sentence out.
