This post is the third in a series that examines the misconceptions and myths about blogging that many new bloggers (and some experienced) on blogs.
We have already discussed the misconceptions that blogging takes superhuman efforts (or is easy!) and that you have to publish every day on your blog.
Misconception of today is a question of money. This is one I hear every day that I observed what people say about money from blogging.
Only those who sell to make money blogging resources make money blogging.Most profitable blog subjects are blogging tips or make money blogs.It is impossible to make money on "normal" blogs, topics every day.The reality is that most people who talk about making money blogging are those who try to create a name for themselves in the same niche. I suppose that part of the creation of authority and credibility is to show what you do, the bloggers in this niche are often not reluctant to share their earnings.
On the reverse of many bloggers who are live blogging in other niches do not have an avenue to talk about or do not want to (for reasons of confidentiality, either because they do not want to alert the competition to their success).
As a result, the impression that new bloggers get often is that person is in money blogging except for those who have written on this subject.
To examine some of the realities of the work in this niche.
You can make good money blogging on blogs. It is true - it is money in this space. Other education blog and earn a living, it can be cost-effective. I make enough to live (and some) on of ProBlogger every month and know at least five or six other bloggers in the niche that would be at a comparable level. As with any subject that has something to do with the money, this can be a lucrative niche.It is a crowded niche when it comes to finding readers. The success of some (and the public dissemination of results), many others have joined the hunt for the market share in this space. I have not seen figures on it, but I suspect that the result is that it is one of the most crowded niches. As a result, broke into the niche and make a name for yourself can be very difficult.It is a niche crowded when it comes to products. If you want to monetize the niche to make money blogging by releasing a product, there are not only many other blogs, but many of the products, that you will need to compete. Not a day goes by without when I am not approached by another blogger wanting me to promote their ebook, course or tool… Once again, it is difficult to stand and I suspect that many bloggers have simply bought enough already produced, and not wishing to buy more.There are a lot of suspicion on the subject. The nature of the subject, there is just much suspicion in this regard. Unfortunately, over the years, this niche has attracted its fair share of bad characters and those who used less-than-ethical-and-transparent tactics to be to make a name for themselves. This has created a lot of suspicion among the public on the niche. I am kind of happy on this suspicion, as I have given many people off, but it is not this difficult to operate in space. My against the recent (and reinstatement) YouTube seems to have taken place because many in the niche have been tarred with the same brush (most of the cancelled accounts had videos including the words "make money online").Bloggers are perhaps more reluctant to spend money than the other spectators. Let us be clear: I am not calling you cheap! But one of the factors to be considered in this niche is that barriers to the entry of the blogosphere (as opposed to other hobbies) are extremely low. You can set up a free blog, there are thousands of blogging themes, tools and instructions on procedures y free, and there are many free help in the niche. Accordingly, many bloggers do not come to their blogs in the expectation of having to spend lots of money. This can impact the bottom line for those who try to operate in this niche (I will touch on this more below).I'm not going to argue that all other niches are lucrative. I know that many bloggers with decent readers struggling to monetize, because their subjects do lend to monetization. However, my experience shows me that there are certainly many opportunities in other niches, and in many respects, they may be easier to monetize that the niche of blogging tips.
Personally, I found much easier to build significantly larger audiences and higher profits in other niches. My photography blog is about five to six times the readership of ProBlogger and more than five to six times as profitable.
The niche of photography is very competitive, but there are a few other benefits including:
The market place is more: There are many more people autour with cameras to have blogs.The audience is more a public spending: I mentioned above that because blogs have low barriers to entry, bloggers are often less likely to spend money. Photography is a little different. People are more spending thousands of dollars on cameras, buying books and magazines of photography, they register for courses... There is just more of a willingness to spend in this niche.The public is not also suspect: While people still have a healthy suspicion of online marketers in this space, there are fewer obstacles on this front.This assessment is not only relevant in the space of photography - many other niches are similarly larger and have audiences serving more spending.
This is probably not the place for a full exploration of how to choose a niche for your blog (I'll include some links below to learn more on this). However, my general advice on this is to choose a topic on which there is a demand in good health for the content (it is difficult to have a blog with success on a subject that no one but you are interested), and who you know (and preferably have a passion or interest).
