A while back Darren Rowse asked his readers what their 'tipping point' was. In other words what was it that made them realise they were getting somewhere with their blogging.I was thinking about this myself yesterday as it was the end of the first year of publishing my Celebrity Insider blog.
Starting in the celeb world I think was my tipping point. I was at the time doing okay with Mikes Money Making Mission but felt it wasn't quite the money maker that I had hoped for.
I needed to get into another niche and chose celebrities. Since then my blogging business has taken off and I have expanded my range of blogs. Some have been successful and some not so but, by trying new things, it expanded my knowledge and experience.
Celebrity Insider I feel has done reasonably well. As at today, which is now one year and one half a day, the blog has had 1,059402 visits including reloads and 702832 unique visitors - and this was starting from blank or nil.
It's the total number of readers on all of my blogs that has increased my earnings to something worthwhile. To my simple way of thinking this is what money making with free blogs is all about: visitor numbers.
On one of my other blogs, on one day, I had over 40,000 hits and I couldn't believe how much this made me from the likes of AdSense, Voxant and so on. Unfortunately this was a one off but it struck home the massive potential.
I think there comes a time with blogging when you have to ask yourself if things are going well enough - or is everything much of muchness. If you want better earnings sometimes it's necessary to move in a slightly different direction or to find novel and new ways to increase traffic.
It's a fun business and once you've had some good days it reinforces what can happen and what can be achieved.
Sometimes though it takes a little extra effort and imagination - and perhaps change.
Good luck,
Mike.
