Having a blog is one thing but making it pay an income is all the worthwhile when having worked at it for so long. Hard work pays off blogger is a title that many who write do not achieve and it takes some forethought before venturing out and making this work. It is easy to start a blog and there are many sites where this is made possible.

Wordpress and Blogger are just two of the most popular sites on the Internet where anybody can get started. Bringing in a residual income is not just about writing and the site must be set up to send would be buyers to goods for purchase. So many fall into the trap of thinking that all that is needed is a computer and Internet connection.

Many start writing and will do so for many years but sadly, unable to produce a living from it. One needs a market to tap into and to create a following online that can be relied upon to purchase products advertised on the said site. Readers need to gain confidence and trust in what is written and this can take a while to achieve.

Writing is fun and getting responses from people all over the world is in short thrilling. It is great to be recognised for what one does and open up portals of communication with people one does not know the first thing about. It is all about relating to what is being said where people are living or have lived through similar events in their lives.

So it is with this in mind that one should take the time before starting to think about what to write about. It is best to have some sort of experience in whatever it is that will be written and this can be anything from promoting a book or writing about selling homes on the Internet. People are looking for answers to questions they may have and will follow a blog if the writer can offer this time and again.

There is so much to share especially when dealing with a subject so vast as this. There may be other areas that one feels one has a certain command of such as sharing information as to how to give up smoking or how to give up an addictive behavior such as hoarding. The list is endless and with a bit of enthusiasm one can build up quite a following.

Once this is achieved and readers have developed a trust with said site, one can then start introducing products that have been tried and tested and promote them. It does not necessarily have to take years to get to this point and a person can rely on having a successful blog up and running within months of its inception.

There are so many bloggers out there that are trying to achieve the same thing. Do not clutter the web page with unnecessary advertising and it is best to keep it simple. All in all, it is a great way to be heard and being recognised for what is written, is priceless.
