It's so strange that I just happen to be reading your post at this point in time. I just recently got VERY clear on who my audience is and what is my intention is with my business blog. Also how can I bring value to this target market and at the same time make it into a business for myself.

Sometime I think you create something and over a course of time it grows into it's own beast as you begin to see not only what you have to offer, but what is NEEDED by your readers...let them tell you what they need and listen.

Thanks for the great post David!

You're right David these are the important questions. The real way to make money blogging is to post everyday and get interactive with other niche blogs. The best way to do this is to take the title of your post, make a Google Alert from it and opt to monitor it as a feed in Google Reader. (free tools for all Googlers) Be keyword conscientious in selecting titles and categories, so that Google Alerts can only send targeted results in Reader. Then you'll receive the posts of other blogs in the same keyword niche, where you can leave keyword anchor text backlinks to your daily posts. Say something smart and helpful to instantly attract visitors to your blog. Then, making your RSS and Optin or blog registration visible on your blog will entice visitors to subscribe. At this point a special relationship between RSS and Optin takes place, causing rapid growth of your optin list. If you don't have an auto responder, use the Subscribe2 plugin for WordPress. (or any of the many optin widgets) There are ways to automate this, but never sacrifice content quality.

Really really great point there, David. I think that what you're saying is true cos if you see your blogging as a hobby then you won't make money from it cos you will approach it with a hobby attitude but if you regard it as a business, you will approach it with a business attitude.

That's what I think .

Many bloggers I know start a blog because they are told they need to, it's a must for their business. But without understanding why it's a must or knowing what the goal is, it always ends up a waste of time.

As David said, simple but brilliant.

Best,
