Here’s How to Make Your Blog Profitable
The truth is most bloggers never see a single penny from their efforts. That even applies to bloggers who actively try to make money from their blogs.
However, you shouldn’t assume the same thing will happen to you.
Once you understand a little about why these bloggers can’t turn a profit, you can start to see how you can do things differently.
Why Aren’t Bloggers Making any Money from Their Blogs?
Many common, oft spoken pitfalls can cause a blogger to not make any money.
- A lack of content, engaging or otherwise
- A lack of tastefully placed ads
- A lack of a good relationship with Google
Now, while these things can help a blogger earn money, they’re not the reason bloggers aren’t earning money.
The real reason bloggers aren’t making any money is they’re not looking at the business aspect of running a blog.
Do you consider blogging a business?
Do you have a system or model in place to maximize the effectiveness of your blogging business?
If you don’t, then you’re either wasting time, or leaning on hope, which is no way to earn any money.
There’s a better way!
Are you Ready? Great. Let’s Get Started!
Step #1
Skip designing the Blog for Now... First,
Download The Niche Profit Algorithm
Before you even start the process of setting up a blog, you need to form a plan.
Remember, you’re starting a business. All businesses start with a plan. You must do things in the proper order if you want to see good results.
Find a niche!
Your blog will need to have a focus. Finding a niche represents that focus. Keep in mind your niche isn’t just some topic you will write about.
Your niche will represent your product. It’s what you’re marketing as a part of your blogging business.
Looking at your niche from a business standpoint will allow you to evaluate it and make sure it’s a viable niche to actually spend your time and efforts on.
You will turn that niche into a business concept you can then flesh out.
First, you will have to ascertain if it’s possible to do that.

Step #2
Preparing the Basics Before You Begin
Hold on a little while longer, you’re almost there.
Now it’s time for some live testing.
You will need to gather the basic blogging tools to familiarize yourself with them, and give your niche a test run.
What you will need...
Don’t become blindsided by all the blogging tools, plugins, and other tools you see advertised online.
To start, you’ll only need four key things.
- A webhost where your blog will live
- A theme for your blogging platform that looks professional rather than flashy (learn more on this later).
- A page builder plugin like Elementor or Thrive Architect
- A host for your email mailing list like Drip or MailChimp
That’s all you need to get started.
With years of blogging experience, here are the tools I personally recommend to start a successful and most importantly, profitable blog. At the very least go ahead and get your blog platform installed and take a look at MailChimp so you can get more familiar with your email marketing platform.
