How to Start a BLOG that Makes MONEY

Starts around 2:10. The “Steps” are the following: 1: Figure out why people would read your blog 2:Brainstorm Blog Post ideas 3: Start your blog/ Set Up 4: Start Blogging 5: Drive Traffic- Be proactive about advertising your blog. 6: Engage your audience 7: The making money part: How can you add MORE value? 8: Show your readers how to get what they want. This video was very long and definitely could have been made in 8-10 minutes. I’ll still give a thumbs up but I would suggest being more succinct in the future. For an “informative” video it came off as rambling. I only finished the video just so I could type the steps for others.

To step 6: I also would see analytics of your social media. I realized that I love Instagram, my readers love Facebook. I started adding more to Facebook and boom: more engament. Know your customer basically ;) Loved the video!

Last year I did a blog calendar for all of 2018 with no host page or name or anything. It literally just came to me one day. And ever since then I’ve been getting signs to just GO FOR IT! Thank you for this video because it was so informational & it just affirmed that I should just go for it!

Congrats on your office Gillian! It's a beautiful space. I do need these tips, I just started blogging! Woohoo!

I don’t know how I came across your channel but I glad I did! People have told me to start a blog but I never knew how to make money from it or how to sustain it. Thank you sharing these great tips! 👍🏾

Wow...amazing video today. Just know you are making a difference in lives! I've had a blog running for a few months now, but because of these tips, I've began to streamline and really define my blog. I know its going to be so much better now. Thank you!

I've been wanting to start a blog for years. And this video is the first to make me motivated to actually do it lol. Thank you.

May God bless you even more! I never comment, but your delivery, knowledge, and generosity is just beyond superb.

This was SUPER DUPER HELPFUL!!! Thank you SO much for your concise, straight to the point tips, especially the part about Adsense. I was thinking I NEEDED that, and they declined my attempt three times (which I still don't know why); then I saw your tips today, and I was suddenly okay. THANK YOU!!! :)

This channel just keeps growing and growing at such an exponential rate! Congratulations!
