I’ve been a writer for some time now with self-published books on the market under the Gerard Spinks Publishing moniker. I’ve been blogging now for about a year as I’ve completely embraced technology for all of my books and titles.
The one thing that I’ve learned is that you must be able to attract major advertisers to your site to ultimately underwrite everything that you do and build income. I don’t really know any writers who do NOT wish to earn income from their writing and/or blogging. I’ve read a lot about making money online and making money from blogging and I can tell you from personal experience that you will not throw up a blog site, throw up ads on it, and start making money easily.
What I’ve learned is that it is a true process of building your blog site and most importantly building traffic to your site. Just like television revenue and the tv advertising business model, you must build viewers. The reason FOX TV can charge major companies large ad prices is because they can turn around and say that they’ve got 3 million viewers to watch whatever content they have on at that moment.
Your blog is the exact same. You must be able to say and prove that you have numbers. In order to even attract the best advertisers from the Google Affiliate Network, you must show real numbers and not fake numbers. You must be able to show that your site is in the top 10,000 of traffic in the world.
I have just recently been declined by major advertisers because my traffic is NOT sufficient enough for them to place ads on my site. This is real. I must increase my traffic every single day of the week to prove to them that my site is worth placing an ad on it. You must work hard to increase your traffic and update your site continually.
