Make Money Blogging

Make Money Blogging

I like you, was struggling to make money online. I had launched a lot of campaigns through PPC. In fact my very first PPC campaign with Google cost me $200, in one day. That is not the scary part. I made one, $24 sale. To be honest I was more impressed that I made a sale then what it cost me!

As I had not read or purchased any product that told me the right way to set up PPC campaigns, I just did it. For reference it was unlocking the iPhone. Every time I uploaded a campaign, Google would block it due to headline issues. I am 100% surprised my account was not banned.

But that one sale got me excited. If I can do it once with zero understanding of how to correctly setup PPC campaigns, what would happen if I took the time to learn how to harness my passion.

I decided that if I was willing to spend $200 on a Google Adwords campaign then a $67 course on how to make money blogging was well worth the money. Lucky for me the very first course was Blogging to the Bank.

It showed me how to setup a blog correctly, how to find a niche that was profitable, but I still missed the golden rule, finding niches that you are also passionate about. If you have no interest in ballroom dancing for instance, then it is going to be constant chore to write about it and produce great content that will keep people coming back to your site. I didn’t understand this secret until much later.
