Do you want to make your blog more profitable? Avoid doing things that can kill your profit. Here are 7 things that will crush your blog profit:
1. Cluttering your blog with ads
You might think that by putting as much advertisements as possible, your blog will generate more profit. That is wrong. Iíve seen many new blogger putting ads all over their blog. They put banners above the fold. They also put smaller banners in their blog sidebar and footer. Moreover, they put AdSense code in their content, sidebar, footer, and header. Will it make them more money? The answer is not. By cluttering your blog with ads, you will only give bad user experience for your readers. In the end, you will lose your traffic and youíll lose your profit as well.
2. Non-profitable topic
Blogging in the wrong niche is another way to kill your blog profit quickly. Do you blog in a good niche that will bring you good profit? If the answer is no, then you have to change your niche right now. It will only waste your time if you keep blogging on non-profitable topic, simply because it wonít give you any income at all.
3. Posting irrelevant blog posts
Stick with what youíre blogging about. By posting irrelevant blog post, you are cluttering your blog with irrelevant content. In this way, your readers will become confused with your blog. They will ask: ìWhatís the point of this blog?î And slowly but surely youíll lose your readers. To avoid this, keep posting relevant posts to your blog to engage your blog readers and increase your traffic.
4. Anonymity
Let your name be known as the author of your blog. Anonymity will only give a bad air for your blog. It will only create distrust that will lead you to less profit. If your readers donít know about you, how can you suppose to sell products to them? You need to build trust in order to sell your products effectively, and by becoming an anonymous blogger, you canít build the trust required to generate good profit from your blog.
5. Being a stand-alone blog
Join the blogging community. Connect with other bloggers. Donít be a stand-alone blogger because if youíre blogging, you have to actively connect your blog with other blogs in order to drive more traffic to your blog. Remember this: without traffic, you canít generate any profit from your blog. However, you canít generate good traffic to your blog if you donít connect your blog with other blogs.
6. No mailing list
If you want to generate more profit from your blog, you have to build a mailing list. This is the place where you do your full promotion. Youíre killing your profit if you donít have a mailing list for your blog.
7. Bad monetization strategy
Are you planning to monetize your blog with various banners, AdSense, and text ads? This is a bad monetization strategy. A better strategy would be to focus your promotion on a single channel, such as AdSense only or affiliate marketing only. In this way, you can get better result with your monetization plan. It will also prevent you from cluttering your blog with unnecessary ads. The key is to focus on single promotion strategy.
Those are 7 things that will crush your blog profit. If you do the 7 things above, you wonít be able to make good money from your blog, so avoid doing those things in your blog.
