Being a freelancer and making money from your blog isn’t easy. It takes dedication, drive, and personality. Here we share a few ways for you to make money as a freelancer.
Let Your Personality Shine on Your Blog
First, it’s important that your blog showcase your personality, while being professional and well managed. Your audience will not come back to your blog if you haven’t posted since last year, if it’s hard to navigate, or it’s filled with grammatical errors. Take time in building your blog, get a content audit from an outside source, and make simple updates to your blog frequently.
Cater to a Niche Audience
There are millions of websites out there; how will yours stand out? Your blog should have a specific focus that attracts interested readers by providing content that they want to read. When you take time to build a specific audience, it will be easier to create relationships and eventually leverage them into clients.
Guest Blogging
Guest blogging is a great way for you to develop your writing skills, introduce yourself to a new audience, and make a few extra bucks. Digitally networking on LinkedIn or Inbound.org is a great way to learn about writing opportunities.
Partner with Similar Brands
Once you’ve found your niche and have started to build a specific audience, you can approach other brands or businesses and see if they want to collaborate. You could host a giveaway for your audience, or trade guest blogs with another blogger. This will help drive traffic to your blog and increase your revenue.
