Hi, Veeky Forums. Is there anyone here who lives from blogging/has relevant experiences on it? I love writing and I'm willing to sacrifice lots of hours (months) creating content, even if it takes a long-term commitment. I mainly write about sociology/politics/satire.
How do I go about monetizing it? Can I make a (decent, but nothing spectacular) living from this (without selling products/t-shirts and the like)? How and where do I 'shill' my posts? Is it even possible without lots of facebook/twitter/whatever followers?
I started last month. And I have a year worth of content ready. The visitor count of the first month doesn't seem hopeful yet, as I get between 0 and 2 visitors a day, ignoring all the attack bots. But we'll see how it went over a year.

I would be interested in reading your blog, if it's all right with you. I've started my blog this week, with a post every day except saturday, and averaged about ten visitors per day.

Dominic Lewis
Sorry, I should have put a trigger earning in the OP.
Benjamin Butler
Troll harder bro
Jaxon Flores
Lol content is the easiest thing. I can spend $500 and have professional writers bang out 30 articles a week. Making money comes from seo, and advertising arbitrage. Takes years to get anywhere pal.
Xavier Bennett
you will need to learn a lot of stuff to be successful. Months of studying will be better than writing blog posts. Ohh and btw 90% of online gurus and lieing shilling cunts who are just trying to get some affiliate shekels from you. Good luck. It took me 3 years to make start making good money. First 2 years was abysmal
Hudson Cruz
What do you blog about? How do you advertise?
John Martin
Professional writers from bangladesh I see.
I spin 30 articles a week for 200 bucks for you.
Blake Gutierrez
Architecture. I also have a affiliate site shilling amazon and other affiliate products.
Eli Morales
Depends on article length. I use American writers. Spin could will get you banned from Adsense which makes me 10-15k a month. You don't know shit .
Christopher Brooks
Would* not could any spun content, or spammy articles is an instant ban from most advertisers.
Jose Brown
I'm noticing a fandom in creation, but I have no experience with owning domain names and paying for servers or getting a good PC for a server.
Luis Rivera
You're obviously talking about something you don't know. At my company some of our affiliates earn € 3K +/mnth just with what they bring us. If you get decent traffic and know how to negociate its doable
Leo Moore
Could you give an indication of how your traffic grew over the years?
Nolan Robinson
no he could not because he's lying.
Anthony Cruz
I want to start writing erotic stories. What's the best way of doing this? Should I post them on a blog? Any tips?

I got over 14K backlinks with 116k organic keywords. I have shit loads of articles ranking between 1-10 on google front page. Half my traffic is from google search 25% from social media and the rest is paid. I have had hundreds of winning ad campaigns.

Thomas Brooks
Are you upset about something user? You seem upset about something.
Angel Bell
You must be one of the fucking retards who clicks his own ads and got banned.
Carter Scott

Connor Morales
>organic keywords thats nothing some of the popular sites have millions. you can get hundreds of backlinks from 1 referring domain

Stop shitblogging and start writing something of value, it might just help you land a real job.
Jayden Adams
Good solid advice. Opened mine this past December with about 40 extremely solid articles all SEO optimized. Worked hard for some relevant backlinks (dofollow and nofollow) although I'm still not seeing good traffic at all. I get from 0 to 10 people, averaging at 5 a day if that, with high bounce rate. The website has a clean, user friendly design, loads fast, titles and meta tags are optimized and catchy and the content is actually very good. Everything on page SEO related is set, social media accounts too although I could use a ton more backlinks (only have about 50 and started 3 web 2.0s to build more this week). So far I made 5 bucks kek (adsense started January 1st). Do you recommend Facebook ads now? Thanks in advance.
Dominic Gomez
How to get gud with backlinks? Do you exchange them with other site via contracts and then wait for them to grow or? SEO noob here sorry
Austin Perez
Don't be sorry, I would have liked to get some help before starting too. First of all, dofollow backlinks give you Page Authority and Domain Authority which you need to rank, nofollow don't (although it's good to have these too to look legit). Most websites instantly make your links nofollow (every wordpress blog in the comments). Relevant baclinks are what you need, 10 or even 1 from a highly ranked domain in your niche beats 1000 of random ones (which can actually hurt your ranking). That said, don't spam comments for links, target high authority niche related websites and think of a way to get your link there. Social media accounts are easy solid links and some business profile websites too, the first base you should start building are links from web 2.0's (tumblr, wordpress, blogger) - create an account (better to use an expired name that had been used before and got authority), post articles there (create new ones or spin your own very well, google fucks you if it detects duplicate content) that contain varied anchor text links (keyword, related keyword, naked URL, unrelated keyword) to your website pages and you're set. Create 3 then slowly build to 10, you can use fake emails.

Affiliate links from affiliate networks and amazon affiliate products.
Its not worth looking into ads with adsense or other banner ads unless you have TONS of traffic.
As for getting traffic to your site, you need to advertise yourself using banner ads, guest blogs on popular sites, and shilling on facebook groups related to your target demographic.
Wyatt Murphy
You're very wrong about adsense. Some words pay $300 per click, others $0.02. You can have a blog with 1000 visitors per month that makes more than one with 100000. It all comes down to keyword research.
Blake Brown
You need to have good anchor text ratio.
25% branded with url 25% branded with site name id say 15% your target keyword 10% your next target keyword and the rest should be misc.
About backlinks, its quality over quantity. For someone like dude above with 14k backlinks, a site with maybe 3k or less that has links coming from sites with higher TF/CF would outrank him on average. It also depends on your on page optimization and actual content + traffic.
Once you are on the front page ranking, traffic becomes more relevant.
Oliver Davis
I guess that is true. Like affiliate offers some pay pennies and some pay big. I personally wouldn't advise it when affiliate offers exist that are already optimized to convert and you can leverage their research to build your own content, but that is just me and Im not big expert on monetization, just started myself.
Hunter Martin
What are the trending blogs and keyword searches now of days?
Jayden Rodriguez
I think writing ebooks is more profitable for the same amunt of work.
Joseph Lee
Anything. As long as it pays and has low competition Why not both? Start a niche website and then compile all the information contained on your articles into a user-friendly, quick and easy to read e-book and shill it on the website.
Aiden Butler
one popular blog is The Worst Things for Sale, where they look at useless/bizarre things on Amazon something like that seems like it would be pretty easy to find daily content for too I never bothered with any others
