Blogging & YouTube importance
What is a blog
The world in covid19 has changed. People are losing their full-time jobs. Fresh graduates are not finding new job. In such circumstances, the internet is one medium that luckily has not taken a dip in 2020.
If you can learn how to make a living on the internet, essentially referring to making money online, blogging is one good way of getting started. If you are a beginner, you can create a blog.
Identify your blogging niche.
Start writing content. Make sure it is original and not plagiarized.
Put an eye catchy picture on your blog.
Support your blog with a video.Video tends to engage readers higher.
Make sure your content has SEO friendly keywords.
Publish your blog, share it on different social media accounts.
A good blog engages the audience, encourages them to read the content until the end. If you want to make your blog profitable and have more viewership in 2020, you have to ensure quality content and choosing a topic that is in demand and liked by the reader.
Skills that were in demand just over a couple of years ago are not wanted anymore so you can’t make money offering those. They have been replaced by new skills and services. Freelancing is a new growing phenomenon and people are choosing to work as a freelancer over their full-time employment. It is estimated that about 50.9% of the U.S. population will be freelancing in the next10 years.
Freelancer jobs are preferred by people because they can work at their own pace and make unlimited money. It is believed, many freelance skills that are in high demand will be replaced by the new skills soon. With such tough competition, there is one niche that will survive the future and that is data. Data is the new ‘OIL’. Those who have access to the data will always be in demand.
Freelancing does not necessarily mean offering services as a web developer, web designer, or video animator. It means you can work as a freelancer by running your blog too. All the content on your blog is no less value than the oil, the data has a huge price and demand. You can make good money doing blogging. All major search engines need data, people need information and awareness through content, therefore, the importance of blogging can never be undermined. It will only grow in the future and now is the best time to set up your blog, start writing, build traffic, and make money.
How to choose a niche for blogging?
As a blogger , you can choose many niches for your blog that can be monetized in order to make money. You can write about health, politics, entertainment, science, etc. You should choose a niche you are comfortable writing about and have authority, command over that subject. For example, Tech Crunch is one of the world’s largest technology blog. It is huge because it has the resources and authority to cover the latest technology news from all over the world and people trust the news. While offering technology news from all over the world, the company makes good money with their blog.
Remember, If your audience is misled, you can be fined for wrong information as this Australian blogger found out 2 years back.
The traffic on the blog primarily comes from the search engines only if proper keywords in the post are used. When you write a lot on your blog about a particular subject, search engines, Google, in particular, begins to take you as an authority for that subject and begins to rank you for your business-related keywords. Without traffic, the blog has no value because the content on a blog is only meaningful if people are reading it.
How to make money blogging
There are many partner programs that are willing to pay you for good views on your blog. The best is Google Adsense. You can make from your blog by integrating Google Adsense. When people view your blog, they see different ads, similar to the ads you see on this blog post. If they like an ad, click on it, the blogger makes money.
I must emphasize the importance of having a payment partner program to monetize your blog. It gives you a lot of encouragement to continue writing good content for your readers. More readership and engagement of your blog content results in more money. Simple, isn’t it
How to make a profitable blog
You can only make good money blogging if there is a good number of audience reading,sharing your content.Also,if the blog content gets ranked on major search engines, organic traffic begins to read your post, resulting in more engagement.
Remember, the higher the viewership, the more money you are going to make. One way of kick-starting your blog readership is, sharing the content on different social media accounts.
By sharing social media icons on blog so readers can easily share the content to different social media platforms.
YouTube importance
Video has become an integral part of Internet users online experience, and no any site hosts more videos than YouTube. The site boasts billions video views per day, making it an excellent place for marketers to find consumers. Its reach is global. Youtu strengths is the way that it allows anyone to track how many views each video is receiving. There are no complicated searches or evaluations necessary. Instead, the number of viewers for each video is posted right beneath the video image. This allows marketers to gauge instantly how widely their videos are being received, and how successfully they are finding an audience. You can also see how many people are recommending your video or commenting on it.
YouTube also offers other options for marketers attempting to reach the site's many users.
The opportunities include buying advertising on the home page or buying advertising that runs beside certain videos. Marketers can also use keywords so that, when certain search terms are used on YouTube, it will trigger their videos to appear as an option for users. Marketers then pay based on how many users choose to watch their video.
