Just like you can make money as an author on Amazon, you can make money from blogging, and this week on the Kiran Trivedi blog, I’m going to tell you how!

Create a Potential Customer Base Who You Can Then Market To

If you’ve got a product or service to sell, then blogging is a great way to do it. How? Well, you build up a relationship with your readership and ultimately get them to subscribe to your blog.

Here’s the thing, the way to make money from blogging is to get people to subscribe, so you can get a hold of their email addresses. Once you’ve done that, you’ve created a potential customer base, which you can then proceed to market your products or services to, via their email addresses.

Kiran Trivedi’s Top Five Blogging Tips

So obviously, if you’re a small business owner, or someone who’s looking to make money from a hobby, blogging is a great way to build up a potential customer base, so that’s what you need to focus on. Use these five Kiran Trivedi blog tips to do just that!

1) Identify Your Readership: There’s no point blogging about things that your target customer doesn’t care about. Tailor your content to your readership.

2) Learn Some Copywriting Skills: It doesn’t matter how interesting or relevant your content is, if it’s unreadable. No-one wants to trudge through a sea of grammatical errors and spelling mistakes, so it might be a good idea to brush up on your copywriting technique before you go ahead with your blog.

3) Embrace the Mystery: The whole point is to get people to subscribe, so you can get their email and market your product/service to them. They won’t bother subscribing to your blog if they don’t want to know more. Include a mystical element on your blog to ensure they subscribe!

4) Keep it interesting: No-one’s going to bother coming back to your blog if they get bored after the first few paragraphs. That’s why you need to keep it interesting. In other words, the more unusual the subject of your blog, the more it’ll be read!

5) Be Interactive: Look at the success of social media; online users like platforms that are interactive, so why not communicate with your readers directly (i.e. through the comments section), and build up the relationship with them that is sure to get them to subscribe!

Obviously, blogging for the sake of making money isn’t for everyone; it’s only effective if you’ve got something to sell in the first place. However, if you do, then blogging is the best marketing tool you have to aid you in building up a loyal readership, which will in time become a loyal customer base.
