Lately, I’ve been receiving lots of emails from new bloggers asking me the loaded question – “How do I make money blogging?”

I always get overwhelmed in trying to respond to this question in writing because it’s not really something you can explain in a single email. Or even an entire book.

Succeeding at blogging takes a lot of little bits and pieces of knowledge that I will hopefully address along the way in my Blogging Tips series, but there’s always one thing that holds steady throughout your journey.

Blogging has earned me more than I could have imagined in my wildest dreams, but it didn’t happen overnight. There were long days, weeks, and months of work with little pay. This recording will explain what I know in hindsight about making money blogging.

So How Do You Make Money Blogging?

The Key to Making Money Blogging - My Best Advice on Audio! - What Mommy Does (1)

There is one thing you can do toearn money as a blogger that has nothing to do with your social media skills, luck, or technical knowledge. It’s related to the foundation of your blog so you have something to make money from.

This recording explains what I mean.

Please let me know what you think in the comments below. As always if you find this crazy useful, please share it around (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, whatever!)I created my Blogging Tips seriesto help as many bloggers as possible stay focused and build the businesses of their dreams, and I need your help sharing my tips!

P.S.I recorded this on my way to the gym this morning. 🙂 The sound you hear in the background is rain. I thought it would be distracting, but it’s actually quite relaxing!

I can’t imagine how long the same information would have taken me to type out. I was so excited when I thought of doing this, that I pulled out my iPhone and started saying the first things that popped into my mind. 🙂

The best compliment you can give me is to share my content with your friends on Facebook. If you like this advice, please share it! Thank you so much!

BLOG TRAFFIC EBOOK

If you’re looking to exponentially grow your blog traffic in 2016, I am excited to announce that I just put the finishing touches on an ebook that divulges how I took my traffic from 17K to 350K+ page views in 2015.

I’ve been getting great feedback on it. Everyone is getting something different from the book. Some bloggers are saying it’s validating everything they’re doing right (and just need to do more of); others are saying they always suspected they were doing some unnecessary blogging tasks, and my book helped them see they were wasting their time. And others are saying that I included tips they’d never heard of before, especially when it comes to StumbleUpon and Google+.

I think just about any blogger who doesn’t have at least 1,000,000page views per month will find something they can use in this ebook. I’m now at 420,000 page views for the last 30 days, and I’m still doing everything I mention in this ebook. And I will keep on doing it until it stops working! 🙂 I hope you join me on my journey! Hop on over to read more about what you’ll find in this book and to get a glimpse into my journey (with traffic screenshots)!
