MAKE MONEY BLOGGING

HOW I EARNED MY FIRST $200 BLOGGING

if you're new here you

should probably know that I am a

full-time blogger that's how I make my

money I started my blog called frugal

and Perry calm now it's called Alison

Lynch I'm calm but I started it back in:41

March of 2015 and in June of 2015 I

earned two hundred and thirty six

dollars and fifty-seven cents that's

rather small when you think of depending

on that kind of income but I was very

blessed and I worked really really hard

and I was able to turn that 236 dollars

into a full-time income by the time

March of 2016 rolled around so yes you

can totally make a full-time income from

blogging no it's not easy and it's not

an overnight success it doesn't happen

quickly unless you're extremely lucky or

you've got some really impressive

connections now really quick for

transparency sake I do want to say that

I earned that 236 in June of 2015

through sponsorships and ad revenue now

ad companies and sponsorship companies I

mean depending on who you're connecting

with who you're working with they pay

out on different cycles so sometimes

they pay out in 30 days 45 days 60 days

I mean it really just depends so I just

wanted to clarify that and be very

transparent and say that I earned that

236 in June of 2015

I didn't deposit that money in my

account in June of 2015 so before we get

into my details here you know I just

want to say have a back-up plan if you

have financial obligations this

definitely didn't happen overnight for

me and before I worked on just my blog

and selling courses and things like that

I worked as a virtual assistant in a

freelancer that's how I made my income

before I was able to finally get my blog

up to a point to where I could you know

shift directions and kind of

change careers or just shift my career

if you will so definitely have a back-up

plan okay let's get into the details now

there were a lot of factors that went

into that first check but here are the

main ones that I think really made a

difference key factor number one I

prepared my mindset for business do not

under any circumstances let anyone make

you feel guilty for having money on the

line and wanting to make a profit from

your blog if that's not the path for

them or if that's you know doesn't feel

right for them just whatever they're

playing a different ballgame then you're

playing make sure that you have the

mindset of a businesswoman so a you

would like to make a profit and be you

really want to provide some sort of

value in some way so you're still

contributing to the world and you know

maybe inspiring people or enriching

their day in some way but you also want

to make sure that the time that you

invest is profitable and there's nothing

wrong with that key factor number two I

determined my main niche and then I

listened to my audience and when I

started blogging I think I wrote about

five or six different categories it was

a little crazy okay I'm not gonna lie to

you but I was still kind of like

figuring myself out but I listened to my

audience so I got questions about

personal finance but brother did I get

some questions about blogging and online

business so I was really fortunate in

that case it I was talking about a

subject that I just could talk about all

day and on top of that that was the

obvious category that my readers really

loved more than anything else

key factor number three I actually

started the darn blog so really quick if

you're interested I actually have a

step-by-step video tutorial on how to

set up your blog and your hosting just

to get you started because sometimes the

technical stuff is a little overwhelming

and I'll leave a link for it somewhere

around here so you can click on that and

go take a peek if you want to but in the

mean time I will let you know that fear

of failure that is the number one reason

I receive when I ask any of my readers

why they haven't started a blog yet I

just want to take a moment and give you

a high five okay let's talk about how

brave you're being for putting yourself

out there on a blog yes you will

probably

into a few meanies online I know that I

certainly have but if we're getting real

here you're probably going to run into

them in real life as well because

sometimes this beautiful world can be

just a little messy so embrace that fear

and just start your blog unleash that

incredible girl boss that you are

because you could really make a

difference key factor number four I

connected with other bloggers I always

like to say that bloggers support

bloggers we can really help each other

out with a learning curve when we get

started with blogging we inspire each

other and I know that being close

friends with some of my really really

awesome bloggers out there have just

really like pushed me to be the best

businesswoman I could possibly be when

you get a group of really intelligent

just like driven women who want to make

a difference in the world and they just

kind of support each other incredible

things happen

okay key factor number five and this

isn't a hard rule but I feel like it was

a little beneficial for me I did have a

good collection of posts before I really

started promoting hard core I told

people about my blog when I was like

kind of starting out but I really

started pushing it and promoting it on

all the social media platforms

once I had I would say like maybe 20 or

30 posts written the idea behind this is

that when people land on your blog if

your content is great you only have

three posts that's okay like but the

idea is that if you have 20 or 30 and

people land on your blog and you're

putting in a lot of time to promote on

social media they're more likely to

stick around because you have 20 to 30

very good blog posts key factor number

six

I changed strategies when what was

working for the crowd wasn't working for

me

I very much walked me to my own drum and

I try to be very conscientious to find

inspiration from other bloggers but if

it's just not working for me

I just give myself permission to say hey

girl change strategies and try something

else even if like everyone and their

brother is over there doing you know

whatever that is if a certain strategy

is just not working for you change it

even if that's what everyone else is

doing and they claim it's going to work

if you've really tried it and you're

just not seeing results you are your own

rock star so find something else.

thank you......
