Write Blog Posts for Money

When discussing setting up a blog with a new client, I am often asked “why do I need a blog”. In most cases, the answer is traffic.

• Search engines list frequently updated website content (blog posts) higher than static webpages.
• Your blog content attracts people looking for information, establishes you as an expert in your area and leads to sales and enquiries.
• A good blog should drive people to your website/products
• And help you establish a database of customers you can send regular correspondence (blog posts) to.

But…what if you want to literally write blog posts for money??? There are several ways to do this…if your blog content is good enough!

1. You can offer customers a custom subscription which they pay for
2. Use the BOS (Blog On Steroids) Plugin to charge for your blog content
3. Add a donate button to your blog using the payPal Donate Plugin
4. Submit your content to an online Publishing service like Triond and earn royalties

Add a Donate Button to Your Website

You have probably noticed these buttons when you are surfing the Internet. Many established blog writers, theme designers and plugin designers have a donate button on their site. If people have found their information or products useful, they can click on the donate button and pay an amount of their choice or an amount specified at time of setup as renummeration for the help they have received for free.

2. Activate the plugin
3. Login to your PayPal account and get the code for a donation button
4. Paste into the code box on your blog under Admin/Manage/EasyDonation.
5. Type anywhere on your blog posts or pages where you would like the button to appear.

Submit Articles to an Online Publishing Service

You write unique and original content (can’t be something already published on your blog or website) and submit it on the Triond website. They publish your content on appropriate websites and you gain recognition, increase viewership, build a portfolio, and earn royalties (month after month). Visit www.triond.com for more information. There are other sites on which you can write reviews about almost anything. Companies pay to use your reviews.
