Making Extra Money As A Writer – Blogging

For the aspiring writers among us, blogging is an enjoyable way of earning a second income. These days, making a second income has become the aspiration of many families who could previously get by quite happily on a single average income. The reasons why a family can no longer make it on the average wage are many – and that, in itself, is a topic worth blogging about!

Blogging has many pluses as a means of earning additional cash.

1. Blogging can be done without leaving home. It’s so good to be making a second income while your children sleep, or while they are at school, and without having to pay for transport or parking.

2. Blogging can be done at varying times, at your convenience. Blog posts can be pre-written, and scheduled to appear on particular days and times, which means you can devote a few hours or a full day to writing blog posts once a week or once a month, rather than being tied to showing up at a particular place and time to work.

3. Blogging income gets higher over time. Initially, not many people will know about your blog. Over time, as the posts get indexed by search engines, and you build up a following of loyal readers, you will have increasing traffic to your blog. Whether you are earning additional cash from advertising on your blog or from recommending products and receiving commissions, you will find that as your traffic increases, so too will your second income.

4. Blogging is a social activity, although it may not appear so in the beginning. Particularly for those making a second income from home, isolation becomes an issue. As a blogger, you are instantly part of the “blogosphere” – the community of bloggers. You will need to read and comment on the blogs of others, and make friends with the big bloggers in your niche. There are many networking sites where bloggers gather to chat about blogging.

5. Blogging allows you to earn estra cash from writing about your passions. Anything you are passionate about, others will also be passionate about. Any information you discover about your passion, others will also want to know. Blogging is a way to gather and summarise that information.

6. Blogging costs nothing, or not much, to set up. You can start blogging on a free platform such as Blogger or Wordpress. However, if you are serious about earning additional cash from blogging, it is advisable to invest $10 in your own domain name, and a few dollars a month in hosting, so you can have complete ownership and control over your blog.

7. Blogging is a pleasure! If you like writing, you’ll love blogging. The thrill of finding comments on posts you have written is just huge. Knowing that you have an audience, and that they read and enjoy your posts, is a buzz for any aspiring writer. The second income is just a bonus.

Making additional income doing something you enjoy is very appealing to just about everyone, and blogging is an easy way to start earning extra cash from writing. What could be better than making a second income from writing about something you find truly interesting? If you enjoy writing, give serious consideration to making a second income from blogging.
