What Should I Write About on My New Blog?

You have gone through the process of setting-up your blog, you have
AdSense strategically placed on it for maximum clicks, and now you
find yourself with zero idea what to write about. Been there, done
that, bought the proverbial t-shirt. Most of us with our own blogs have
been in the exact same position. We want to blog, we know how to
write a decent paragraph or two, but faced with the blank text box on
Blogger we sit and stare at it. We think to ourselves that no one
wants to read what we have to say. Or, worse yet, we can’t think of a
single thing to write about. We have temporary blog writer’s block.
Don’t worry, there are simple solutions to the problem.


One of the best ways to build-up a popular blog, translation - one
which has the potential to earn you lots of money, is to have both
frequently updated, engaging, content and good ad placement. In my
humble opinion, ad placement is the easy part. The hard part, at least
at first, is thinking of a topic which you can write about day after day.


You quite literally have unlimited options as to what you can write
about on your blog. However, this can be more of a curse than a
blessing. It’s like a child walking into a toy store who has been told
they can have anything they want. It is overwhelming. What do they
choose? There are so many options. Being told “write about anything
you want” is similarly overwhelming; there are just too many options
available to you.


To help you decide what the topic of your blog should be, it is
important to understand a bit about how search engines and AdSense
work. If you were simply interested in publishing a personal, non-
monetized blog, then you could write about anything you wanted. You
would send the link to your friends and family, post updates about
your life on it from time to time, and you would be good to go.
However, if you want a monetized blog, then you need to understand
how to get visitors to come to your blog, how to make them keep
coming back, and how to make the most amount of money possible
from your visitors clicking on your AdSense ads.


We will examine Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and the inter-
workings of AdSense more in other chapters of this e-book. For now it
is vital to the success of your blog that you understand that knowing a
bit about how both SEO and AdSense work can be a big help in
deciding what you should blog about. If you are interested in making
money with your blog, then you want to find topics which will bring
you traffic through the search engines. Search engine optimization
can help to bring you some readers, fresh content keeps all of your
readers coming back and relevant AdSense ads on your blog help to
get you the clicks that make you money.


Just simply looking at search engine optimization or AdSense will not
guarantee your blog success with any specific topic. However the
additional information search engine optimization and AdSense
provides can help to steer you in the right direction with your blog.
Use these two things as guidelines in building your blog and all of your
content. It will be to your advantage to do so.
