There are a lot of people who are willing to start their own career in making money through blogging but then how to be able to monetize it has become a headache for them . I particularly love blog in because of the so many ways in which you can be able to use in order to monetize it.

1. Ads networks . Google adsense is the number one advertisement network right now but there are still many others that you can be able to choose from like adjunky, adsworld and 86w . You can be able to have basic knowledge about their requirements and also how to be able to place them strategically in such a way that you can be able to make money from them .

2. Affiliate programs . You should also have the ability to be able to detect affiliate programs that are going to be likely beneficial to your community and how you can be able to sell it to them and get commissions .

3. Marketing . In some certain situations you might want to create your own product and then market it to your audience and this is exactly where you are bility to market is going to come into place.

One very important skill needed for blogging is writing skills. As a blogger, you must have good writing skills. Another skill you would need, though some persons might not actually see it as a skill but truth be told not everyone can do this. Creativity matters alot.

Blogging is not as easy as we may think but that doesn't mean that we can not make money through it. In fact, there are many people making money through blogging than those that are not making it. Those that do are not making it may be because of the fact they don't take into cognizance what they are needed to make it bigger as bloggers.

There should be well writing skill. What makes a good blogger is the ability to write well. Therefore, a blogger must do all what he can do to make sure that he writes what the people want to read about. And to write captivating stories, you need to know have a good writing skill.

Writing skills alone cannot make a good blogger, there is need for a blogger to learn how to market his links. There are various platforms by which a blogger can market his links. All these are what a good blogger must be able to do effectively.
.
There should be research skill. We can not write extensively except there are researches that we have done. A blogger that can write after a thorough research will always be different from the ones that don't do at all.

Blogging is probably one of the best businesses anyone can venture into on the internet and make some tangible amount of money for him or herself. A lot of people venture into blogging but because they lack proper knowledge and understanding of certain things they end up not succeeding.

There are several skills you need to have and know if you really want to become a successful blogger. One of it is content creation skills. There is no way you can be able to succeed as a blogger especially if you do not have money to hire people, if you are not very good in content creation.

You must be able to create a very good content depending on your niche and write reasonable articles that will attract many people's attention. Even if you are good in search engine optimisation and your contents are not good enough, you will probably not be able to retain your traffic.

Another good skill you need to have as a blogger is SEO skills. You really need to be very good in search engine optimisation if you want to succeed as a blogger. You can learn it from different youtube channels and become very good at it and probably make money as a blogger.

Blogging also requires patience because without patience you may not actually be able to monetize because it takes time.
