So if you’re looking to make money even while sleeping, affiliate marketing is for you.

Okay… let’s get back to the main topic

"can you really make a living from blogging?"

Oh.. yes.

If an ordinary guy like me can do it, you too can do it.

That being said, here are 3 powerful tips that can help you make a living from blogging like me.

Learn SEO

The major reason I earn $10K and more each month is because of my SEO skills. I know how to create content that attracts more visitors from search engines like Google. If you’re also looking to make a living from blogging, you need to learn and master the art of SEO.

SEO is complicated. So learn from the right people. Read SEO-related blogs such as Backlinko, Ahrefs, and even my blog to get started with SEO. The key here is to start a blog, learn SEO essentials and start applying whatever you know.

Learn how to sell and get better at it

The money you make from blogging mostly depends on your selling skills. People don’t usually buy from strangers online. That’s why you need to build a brand and create trust with your target audience so selling becomes easier.

You can follow savvy affiliate marketers like Pat Flynn to analyze how they are earning money from their blogs. Don’t sell too hard. You should recommend products. Let your audience decide what’s right for them.

Focus on "helping" instead of selling if you want to get better at online selling. The money you make online is directly proportional to the number of people you help!

Think long term

Successful blogging is a long-time journey. Even successful affiliate marketing is a marathon, not a sprint. You need to think and plan for the long term if you want to make a living from blogging.

That’s why if you’re already doing a job, don’t quit just yet. Instead, start working on your blog and make a decent income every month before you make a decision.

Once you feel you can make much more than your full-time job, you can consider quitting and becoming a full-time blogger.

To your success,
