I'm
always getting the question about whether it's really possible to
monetize your blog. The answer is "yes," but success is this arena
depends upon choosing the right topic for a finely defined target
market.
The example I'll give is one I read about in this morning's issue of the online Houston Chronicle, which featured an
article
about stay-at-home mom, Erin Chase, who needed to cut expenses and
looked at her grocery bill to help her accomplish this. It's funny how
something old becomes new again — I remember my mom being the ultimate
thrift maven in the 70s who stretched a buck until it bled .. LOL.
After bragging to her husband about
creating many of their meals for less than $5, she began to search the
Internet to discover if anyone else was writing about this topic.
Discovering none, she quickly went out and bought the domain, https://www.5dollardinners.com/, and created her first web site. The site quickly gained traffic and she realized she might have a business on her hands.
She had the site redesigned and then
started taking advertising on it, and major media began calling her for
interviews. Who knows how she might monetize this business beyond
advertising in the future?
Take a look at your hobbies,
interests, experiences, or family needs. You just might have a
monetizable blog waiting to be born..:)
