Introduction

You probably have a blog because you love writing. But the truth is, unless you're writing about something very specific like travel or cooking, it's hard to make money blogging. You need to find ways to monetize your site and create an income so that you can keep doing what you love—and that doesn't necessarily mean going after big brands and corporations as advertisers (although it might!).

In this post I'm going to walk through what exactly monetizing your blog means and how you can do it successfully. We'll talk about finding your voice, choosing topics that are interesting to both yourself AND readers, creating a plan for making money off of those topics once they become popular enough...all that fun stuff! So let's get started!

Find your voice.

The next step in the process of monetizing your blog is finding your voice.

Defining your voice can be difficult, but it's essential to creating an engaging and consistent brand that will attract readers, followers and customers. You need to find a way to stand out from all of the other bloggers out there--and one way of doing this is by developing a unique style or tone through which you communicate with people on social media or in blog posts.

How do you know if you've found the right tone? Here are some signs:

You write about things that excite or interest you (and hopefully others).

Your writing style is conversational yet informative at the same time--it's like talking with someone who knows their stuff but still makes sense when explaining complicated ideas!

Choose a topic you're passionate about.

One of the most important things to consider when monetizing your blog is choosing a topic that you are passionate about. If you don't enjoy writing about it, then no one will want to read what you write.

You should also make sure that your topic isn't too broad. For example, if I wanted to start a baking blog and call it "Baking Tips for Beginners," I would probably not be successful because there are already so many other great baking blogs out there with similar titles and topics! Instead of trying to compete with those established sites (and losing), I would choose something more specific: maybe something like "Best Chocolate Cupcakes in New York City." This way I could carve out my own niche within this crowded space while still providing value for readers who might be looking specifically for chocolate cupcakes in NYC (or whatever).

Another thing worth considering is whether or not there's enough content available online already on the subject matter of choice--both from competitors as well as other sources like Wikipedia articles or videos posted elsewhere online--and whether these resources could help inform future posts on our own site without having them overlap much at all...

Create a plan for how you'll monetize your blog.

Now that you have a blog, it's time to think about how you're going to monetize it.

There are many ways to make money with a blog, but the first step is always the same: create an actual plan for how you'll make money from your site. You don't need all the answers right now, but having some kind of strategy in place will help keep your focus sharp and focused when things get tough later on down the road (they will).

Here are some ideas for how much money your site might be able to generate through various monetization methods:

Blog consistently.

One of the most important things you can do to monetize your blog is to blog consistently.

If you're new to blogging, then you might be wondering what exactly a blog post is and how long it should be. A good rule of thumb for length is around 1,000 words; however, if your post requires more than that amount of information or detail in order for it to make sense (for example: explaining something technical), then go ahead and write as much as necessary!

The frequency at which you publish new content depends on how much time you have available each week/month/year. If possible though, try not to publish anything less than once every two weeks or so because readers may forget about what happened last time they visited if there hasn't been enough time since then passed by yet again...

Be yourself! Your personal brand is the most important thing you have as a blogger and it's what readers will remember above all else.

Be yourself! Your personal brand is the most important thing you have as a blogger and it's what readers will remember above all else. Your blog should be a reflection of your personality, so don't be afraid to show your real self (even if it means being vulnerable). Don't try to be something or someone else--your readers will see through that right away and stop following you.

You might also consider keeping up with some consistency on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram because this will help build trust between readers who follow along with multiple platforms at once.

Don't be afraid to show your real personality, because that's what makes your blog unique and interesting.

You can't be afraid to show your true self.

Your blog should reflect your personality, passions, interests, and values. If you're a person who likes to do things that other people think are weird or strange (like collecting dolls), then that's great! Do it! Just make sure that whatever you're writing about is something that truly reflects who you are as an individual. If there is any question about whether or not something belongs on your site--if it doesn't feel right for some reason--it probably shouldn't go up there at all.
