A person can actually have a blog up and live in less than a minute, pick a name that sounds catchy and be writing immediately.

This ease of access and instant set up is great for somebody who just enjoys writing or wants the status but has no real intention or expectation of making money. However, for those who blog with the sole intention of generating revenue are often mislead by thinking creating a blog is the difficult part and do not realize until it is too late the challenge resides in getting an audience.

It is due to this lack of planning and understanding on how search engine ranking works that makes almost all blogs fail. Often the writer expect instant gratification and when they see no return after weeks of writing they simply give up rather than try to understand what is needed to get readers.

Typically a blogger will start out extremely motivated putting all efforts into writing. Quality content is great to keep readers coming back, it will not however get you the initial traffic.

Research is needed to find a topic or niche that you have interest in or at the very least can write about. The niche has to have demand, a level of competition small enough that you can rank ideally in the number one slot in the search engines and be a niche that you can properly monetize.

There are two main ways of monetizing from your blog; the first is through advertising. The most popular program available pays you any time a reader clicks an ad. The second is through affiliate programs where you advertise other people's products and you receive a percentage whenever a purchase is made through your link.

The topic of your site and posts will determine the amount you are paid for pay per click advertising. There is a very wide range of pay, so if your topic does not yield much money through advertising clicks you will want to set up your blog and posts around related affiliate products to promote.

Depending on the particular niche there may be a related eBook your site can offer and most of the electronic media affiliate programs pay 60%-75% commission per sale. If your posts are product comparisons or reviews then you can put up other advertising for high dollar electronics for instance. Some popular affiliate programs allow you to attach portions of their catalog to your site for the reader to browse and buy without having to leave your site.

Even with proper research done and SEO techniques applied, patience must be in your plan as search engines do not like ranking new sites high as newer sites come and go so often, the longer you stay at it you will begin to get a steady flow of organic traffic. Traffic in any niche can always be used to make money online, however planning out and doing all research in the beginning will give you a formula for success.
