No Traffic

Let me go straight to the point here, you can never make money with your blog/ website if people are not visiting it. The only way you can think of getting dough off your blog, is when you start getting people (traffic) to come and interact with your blog. So in that manner I’d like to put the word “blog traffic” to my own definition.

Traffic is the amount of readers coming to your blog and traffic is the only source that can make your blog popular. Like I’ll always say; Traffic is the life source of any blog. Without traffic, your blog does as good as not exist, I’m I right or I’m I right?

Not reaching the right readers/ people/ customers:

Now we have started driving the right amount of traffic to our blog, since we have good content and we update our blog post frequently, there is no problem of converting those casual readers to our faithful and loyal readers, right?

But first let me ask you this simple question; are the readers interested in your niche (field) blog? This is also that “one” question you should be asking yourself.

Advice: When getting your traffic, always try to get it from a related niche (field) blog.

Tips

Making your readers, visitor a loyal and full member is very easy as long as you have the right content and you update regularly.

No strategy/ No Plan

You create a nice blog and everything is going smoothly as per great articles, quick updates, contributors and the traffic is regular but still you are not generating any income. The only reason you are not getting any dough from your blog is because you have not set a plan and you have not build a strategy (yet). Any man who doesn’t have a plan is as good as not existing, right?

Tips & Advice

Your plans and the way you strategize solely depends on you, but let me share this with you. Try to find what your readers truly like, go deep into their minds and explore and after that, blast them with something they’ll never expect. How’s that for a tip?

No affiliate marketing sense

Because professional bloggers tells you that affiliate marketing can pay good money to your pocket and you jump into it without learning the ropes. Are you selling products to your subscribers and none are showing interest? Some of the main reason is you’re not having enough subscribers, your content just isn’t it,  you are not getting the right audience for your blog, you rushed into it without learning the ropes, the high and the lows of affiliate marketing.

Tips

Go to your niche (field) blog, forums and get loyalist that are interested in what you’re doing. Hey don’t just start yet! Make sure you have a good traffic, a reputable ranking and most of all enough subscribers so that when you start you’ll see the result. Always remember this words “Your blog is your business don’t play with it”

√ The art of never giving up

Blogging is not meant for lazy, none patient and none strategic person, Blogging is meant for the strong, patient, never giving up people. Because you start blogging for just two months and you’re expecting a miracle to take place? A miracle might just take place, who knows!
