Why do individuals make money on blogs and what are the benefits of not just income?
The most common purpose of starting a blog is to earn income such as "side business" and "money earning".
First of all, let me explain why you can make money just by writing a blog.
The reason for earning income is "advertising income"
In conclusion, blogging makes money from advertising revenue.
Specifically, you can earn advertising revenue in the following flow.
■ Flow of generating advertising revenue on blogs
1 Write a blog
2 Readers gather on the blog
3 Place an ad
4 Readers see ads, click on ads, and purchase and use products
5 Earn advertising revenue according to results
Actually, you can earn income other than advertising income, such as paying sales of know-how, but at first it is okay to remember that what you get by writing a blog is advertising income.
The specific steps to place an ad on your blog and an introduction to advertising services are explained later in the article.
Benefits of running a blog that isn't just about income
And let me tell you that blogging has so many benefits besides advertising revenue.
For some people, it's more attractive than advertising revenue.
The reason why I recommend blogging is because of the benefits other than advertising revenue!
■ An example of benefits other than advertising revenue
⭐ It is compatible with work, schoolwork, and housework and has a synergistic effect.
⭐ Acquire high-value business skills
⭐ Life will be enriched
⭐ Isn't any of them attractive?
If you manage your blog properly with a purpose, you can get something that is more valuable than advertising revenue.
WordPress is recommended! How to choose a blog service
From here, I will explain the specific method of how to start a blog.
To start a blog, you first need to choose a blog service.
★ WordPress (paid blog) * Recommended!
★ Free blog
Blog services are roughly divided into the above two types, and I strongly recommend WordPress blogs (paid blogs) in order to maximize the benefits.
WordPress (paid blog)
WordPress is the most used blog software in the world. Many monetized blogs use WordPress.
There is no doubt that you can think of it as a paid blog that you launch yourself = WordPress.
If you want to monetize or manage your blog in earnest, WordPress is definitely an advantage. You can use it for a few hundred yen to 1,000 yen a month.
The features of WordPress are as follows.
<Advantage>
⭐ Get WordPress management know-how
⭐ Advantages over free blogs when monetizing
⭐ Free design can be used
⭐ You can completely turn your blog into your own asset by using your own domain name
<Disadvantage>
⭐ It costs about several hundred yen to 1,000 yen per month.
Free blog
The advantage of free blogging is that it is inexpensive and easy to get started. There are various services such as "Ameba Blog", "Livedoor Blog", and "Hatena Blog".
If you can't afford it, you can start with a free blog.
The features of the free blog are as follows.
<Advantage>
⭐ Free and easy to get started
<Disadvantage>
⭐ Disadvantageous than WordPress when monetizing
⭐ I can't choose a free design
⭐ Posting articles on a blog service does not make it a complete asset
There is an article that compares WordPress and free blogs in detail, so if you want to check in detail and choose a blog service, please refer to this article as well!
A series of steps to get started with WordPress
* If you can start with a free blog, you can skip this item!
To start a blog on WordPress, you first need to do a little preparation.
All you need to do is start WordPress and set up WordPress. This time, we will introduce a method that even beginners can be sure of and will not fail, and the necessary initial setting work.
Even beginners can take only a few hours!
Launch WordPress
Follow the steps below to launch a WordPress blog.
1 Rental server contract
2 Acquisition of original domain
3 Own domain setting / SSL setting
4 WordPress installation
Although technical terms and long steps are required, I will introduce the manual of "X server" where I am the person inside because I can not cover it in this article.
Start your blog on the X server! How to start a WordPress blog that even beginners can understand
It is explained very carefully, so please refer to it!
Also, in the past, launching WordPress was a relatively difficult procedure and required a little expertise, but now there is an easy way to launch it.
WordPress initial settings
After launching WordPress, do the initial setup of WordPress before you start writing a blog.
By default, you can select the theme (design) of your blog, set the title, and make the necessary settings for safe use.
Introducing blog management tips for beginners
Next, I would like to introduce three management tips that I would like to convey to beginners when managing a blog.
Clarify the purpose and theme of the blog
A blog that you start somehow without a purpose will not only last long, but it will not lead to income or other benefits.
Be sure to clarify what the theme is for whom and for what purpose.
Choosing a theme that suits you is the most important point in blog management.
Tips on how to write a blog
By gaining experience in writing blogs, you will be able to write well, but if you know the tips of how to write, you will improve faster.
Here are four typical writing tips.
■ Tips for writing a blog
⋆ Have a reader's perspective
⋆ Clarify the theme and purpose of the article
⋆ Write in the flow of conclusion → reason → summary until you get used to it
⋆ Write out the headline before writing and make a composition plan
Create an easy-to-read blog post
Even if you write a good article, if the blog is not easy to read, it will not be read and will not be transmitted. Making the text easier to read is also a very important task.
The basic way to make your blog easier to read than text is to include images and illustrations.
The free material service can be used in such cases. Make your blog easy to read and gorgeous with free materials used in many blogs!
What are the preparations needed to earn advertising revenue on a blog?
Once you've written about 10 to 20 articles on your blog for the first time, it's time to start preparing to place ads on your blog!
There are three main types of advertising services used to place advertisements on blogs.
⭐ Google adsense
⭐ Amazon Associate (Rakuten Affiliate)
⭐ Affiliate (A8.net)
These three types are standard services, so let's start advertising using these services first.
All services are prepared free of charge in the flow of "service registration", "examination", and "posting on the blog".
Google adsense
Google Adsense is a pay-per-click advertising service provided by Google. The biggest feature of Google Adsense is that even beginners can easily make a profit because they are rewarded only by clicking, and the reward amount is far higher than other pay-per-click advertising services.
■ Features of Google Adsense
☆ Advertising revenue will definitely increase in proportion to the number of blog visits
☆ The hurdle to earn income is low because rewards are generated only by clicking
☆ Overwhelmingly profitable compared to other pay-per-click advertising services
☆ Examination is a little strict
Not limited to the theme of the blog, you can definitely earn income in proportion to the number of accesses to the blog, so it is a service that you definitely want to use when the number of accesses and articles reaches a certain level.
The review is a bit strict, but a blog that writes 10 to 20 good articles will pass the review.
Amazon Associate
This is a product (product sales) advertising service. It is an advertisement that introduces products that can be bought on Amazon such as "books", "home appliances", and "food". You can introduce the products you want to recommend according to the theme of your blog or article.
■ Characteristics of Amazon Associate
☆ You can introduce the products that you and others are using
☆ Since it is a service of a major company, you can introduce it with confidence
☆ The number of products is very large, so it is easy to find the product you want to introduce.
☆ Referral fee rate is low compared to affiliates (in the case of Amazon, about 3 to 8% of the product price)
☆ Reward is generated when the product is sold
☆ Examination is a little strict
If you want to introduce your favorite books or recommended products on your blog, and if there is a product that matches the theme of your blog or article, make use of it!
Regarding Amazon, the examination is a little strict (in the case of direct tie-up), but if you can write an article like Google Adsense, it will pass the examination enough.
Affiliate (A8.net)
It is a service that introduces products and services of various genres. You can introduce not only Amazon products but also the services of thousands of companies.
The biggest feature is that there are many products and services with high rewards. By introducing products and services that match the theme of your blog, you may be able to earn a lot of advertising revenue.
■ Affiliate features
☆ There are various affiliate services
☆ At first, A8.net, the largest affiliate service, is recommended
☆ The referral fee rate is very high depending on the product or service (thousands to tens of thousands of yen exist for one case)
☆ Rewards are generated at various times depending on the program
☆ Examination is often easy
