Final Thoughts

I can’t help but wonder what the next generation of blogging will look
like. The possibilities are pretty endless when you think of all that is
possible online today. And with this growth and change in technology
will always come new and more innovative ways to make money with
a blog.

The best suggestion I can make to you on the future of blogging is to
try and keep up with the emerging blogging trends and get into
something as soon as you can see a way to generate income with it.
Do it before other people flood the market and you will have a nice
income from your blog for years to come.


You should also support the blogging community by participating in
other people’s blogs, and helping those new to the medium. There is
plenty of revenue to go around and it’s a nice thing to help out other
people along your life’s path.


Best of luck to you and happy blogging!

Links

Links to your site from other sites helps to raise your search engine
rank. The search engines see links to your site as meaning that
other’s value it enough to link to it. They do not see if those links are
created by submissions you have done yourself or others have linked
to you on their own. We have already discussed how to get links to
your site through forum postings, articles, press releases, guest
blogging, etc… and the reason you want to spend some time and
energy gaining links is simply to improve your number of readers and
to help out your search engine optimization efforts.

Comment on Other Blogs

Another way to create back-links to your blog is to post comments
onto other people’s blogs and websites. If you leave quality comments
then people just might want to find out what else you have to say on
your own blog. If you leave comments on another Blogger blog, then
your account will show up and your comments with automatically link
back to your own blog. Readers of the blog will read your comments
and click on your link to see what your blog is all about.


Some people will post a short message about enjoying a blog and then
ask the blogger to check out their own blog and include the link to
their own website. By simply leaving a spam message of “hey check
out my blog” you will likely irritate people and not gain readers. Leave
quality information and people are much more likely to check out your
blog. You always want to make sure you are adding value to the web,
not just out advertising your own blog to make money.
