Why a blogger start their blog?

Most of the bloggers start their blog after reading other blogger’s success story. They get attracted by their thousands of dollar per month earning and they thinks that they can also made the same money in couple of months by starting their blog.

Reality

But reality is far away from this, reason is we just see the monthly earnings of top bloggers but we never try to find when and how they started earning money from it.

Similarly new bloggers think that it is easy to get thousand of daily visitor for their blog in just couple of week but again reality is far away from this.

Unrealistic Goals leads to demotivation

Facts about traffic (Daily visitor to blogs)

A universal truth is that you can not start getting thousand of bloggers from day one until you already have a brand value in online market.

In the starting you don’t receive organic traffic (free traffic from search engine), because search engine want you to prove yourself first by providing unique and useful content. As the time passes you start getting traffic from search engines.

Traffic from search engines depends upon your niche as well. If there is lot of competition in your niche then it takes time to get top position in search engine results.

Normally it takes 5-6 months to receive a significant traffic from search engines.

In high competition niche usually you start getting 20-25 visit per day from search engines after 3 months, 40-60 visit per day after 4-5 months (I am assuming you are posting around 4-5 post per week).

How to receive traffic in first 6 months?

I know, now you are thinking, “What should I do to get traffic in first six months to keep my blog live and keep me motivated”.

In first six month you should promote your blog on different social networking sites i.e. Facebook, Google+, MySpace and Orkut etc.

You should submit your blog to different article submission sites i.e. Stumbleupon, digg, LinkedIn and reddit etc.

You should join different forums where you can find people that have interest in your niche or blog topic and share your article with them.

Above tips will help you in getting traffic for first six months and help you in making your blog as a brand as well.

Apart from this you should visit other blogs and put comment on their articles. It will help you in getting backlinks that in turn help you in getting better position in search engine.

Facts about Earning from your blog

How much you can earn from a blog is totally depend upon your niche and traffic you are getting. For example – top blogger who is earning in six digits per months receiving millions of visit per month. So if your blog is getting only 50-100 visits per day then definitely you can’t expect money from your blog.

So first you should work on getting high traffic for your blog and once you start getting high traffic then publishers automatically contact you to put their ads on your blog.

If you are using Google AdSense and you are earning on few cents per day then no need to be disappointed, as your traffic will increase, your CTR will increase and you will start making good money from it.
