Then earn some income from it as an affiliate! Another reason is that I neglected to update all my sites frequently enough with new content due to the fact that I had too many sites and not enough time to work hard at all of them.

Hopefully that will change soon, and my blogging earnings will increase again, now that Tony and I have cancelled many of our other sites, and are moving pages or have moved some pages already — 26 June to this one site, tant. At least I now know to limit how much I link out to other sites.

I am back to earning between R and R per month from blogging and I am working at increasing it too! Do I need my own site to make money blogging in South Africa?

This may also be an interesting Christmas gift or birthday gift for a South African matriculant who is struggling to find work, but enjoys using the Internet.

What on earth will I write about for my blog posts? Because one does not make money blogging overnight, to help speed up the process one should mostly write about what one already knows a little bit about. This is better than having to spend lots of time on researching your topics first. Writing about something one is passionate about, or something that one has a bit of knowledge about, makes it easier to write a lot, frequently.

Topics do not have to be too involved: Write about your favourite hobby or sport. Write about the places that you visit outside of where you live. Write about the places that you visit in your own home town. Write about gadgets and technology. Write about computer games. Write about cooking or baking. Write about movies or television shows. Write about health or skin care or hair care. How does writing and adding blog posts to my blog make me money?

Not on its own, anyway. You need to have advertisements on your blog too. You should not join any advertising programs until you have a few pages of content on your site — perhaps at least 10 to 20 pages, and until your site is receiving at least 50 visitors a day, or else your advertising program applications may be rejected.

You can join The Google Adsense program, as well as affiliate programs like Amazon or Offer Forge or ClickBank or SFI. You will display the ads of these programs on your site. You should add a privacy policy page to your site too.

To make money blogging you need to have lots of people visiting your site or visiting your pages on an online writing site. The affiliate programs that you joined pay you. Different affiliate programs have different payment options available. You may get a cheque in the post, or you may receive a payment directly into your bank account, or you may receive money into your PayPal account.

Ask your bank to help you link your PayPal account with your bank account. You may also have some people or companies approaching your directly or maybe you approach them and they pay you directly perhaps on a monthly basis for putting their ads on your site.

How hard is it? The most important thing to remember when it comes to blogging for money, is that you need to get as many people as possible to visit your site or your pages on an online writing site.

Although it may take quite some time, one of the easiest and cheapest ways to get lots of people to visit your site is by writing and adding lots of new articles to your site, whenever you get the chance to.

The more pages you have, the more people are likely to visit your site, and the more often your ads will be clicked. Once you have many people regularly visiting your site, you may not have to add new articles all that often, perhaps only once a week would be enough to maintain a certain monthly income.

There are many free ways in which you can increase the amount of people that visit your site. Can I make a lot of money blogging in South Africa?

Yes you can make a lot of money blogging in South Africa, BUT do not be fooled into thinking it will be easy! To make a lot of money blogging all on your own will take you a long time, and a lot of determination, patience, learning, and hard work. You will not make much money at all at first, and you may want to give up trying. Why do people even bother to try?

The fantastic thing about blogging is that you can earn passive income from blogging. Passive income is money you earn even when you are not working, simply because you have already done the work to make that passive income possible. At first you work hard to increase your monthly income from blogging, but once you get your monthly income up to an amount that you are happy with, you may need to put in only 5 to 20 hours work a month to maintain that monthly income!

That is why people bother to try — the rewards after a lot of hard work, are worth it. Is there a way to speed up the process from when I start blogging to when I start making a decent income from blogging?

They could be the ones dealing with the different people and different aspects that your blogging project needs. You will need a good-looking blog, ideally a Content Management System site, a lot of content written, good SEO , and good marketing of your blog.

I also appreciate the interaction you have with your readers. Can using other peoples platform to blog earn me commission as a new kid in the block or do u advise that I build my own webpage with host and start blogging, and how much would that roughly cost me? Start slowly and for free, or dive right in doing your own thing on your own site.

For how to market your site to get traffic to it please see no. Hi Khutso — just Google Blogger and sign up at blogger. I am very keen on starting my own blog. I have been researching but can you help me step by step on how to start a successful well structured blog. We think it sounds like you already know how to start a blog, but would like steps on how to create a successful blog, that is well structured … A successful blog means that it gets lots of traffic visitors and you get the results that you want from this traffic — many people order the services or products you are offering on your blog, or many people click the ads on your blog, or a bit of all that.

Having a successful blog means getting from it what you want. As for a well-structured blog, we assume you mean the way it looks? What do the sites look like that you like to visit? A well structured site is usually easy to navigate and read, and often has several images. Often one of the best things to do is when wanting to start a blog is to just start, work on it a bit every day or at least fairly often, and learn by trial and error.

Giving you the steps on how to create a successful and well structured blog would be writing a book of many pages. Install a CMS like WordPress, and start blogging!

My target is to make 1K a day in a few months if Google favours me. And start a lot more blogging websites. Hi I am very keem to start and educational blog for all South Afrcans.
