How To Monetize A Blog in Nigeria

Below are some of the tips every successful blogger follows before you start hearing their names globally

1. Share Your Best Knowledge

In blogging, there’s what we call Niche which is “Blogging about what you can do well” Don’t blog about what you aren’t good at that’s one thing that might retard or even ruin your Blogging success.

I never dreamed of seeing myself Blog entertainment because I can’t do any better on it I don’t even know most Nigerian music artists, instead am blogging about what you see me doing because this is what I can do best.

What is your Best Knowledge? Look forward to creating a blog that has something to do with it not doing what others are doing because you may end up not making it since you are not them but you.

When you blog about your best knowledge you will find it very easy to write the best article because you aren’t struggling to write them

instead, you’re writing what you already know but when you go otherwise you will be like a student who went from Art class to go and write an Exam in Medicine class am sure you know the performance.

It’s better not to blog at all than to blog about what you do not know about because that will only lead you to copy and paste blogging. Even when you try to write yourself you won’t give the best

2. Build Your Niche

Now that you have already set up your Blog for what you love most what next? The next thing is to build and grow your niche and as soon as you create awareness about the knowledge you share,

people will keep coming back instead of searching elsewhere because they know you will give them the best of information regarding what they’re searching for.

When it comes to building and growing your niche we are talking about doing other necessary blogging practices such as SEO.

Building list. Utilizing social media, Link Building, and others. All of these contribute to building and growing your Blogging Niche.

Building and growing your niche might not be as easy as it sounds because it takes time, money, effort, and strategies to finally win your niche and once you win it, the rest will be a win, win, win.

Nothing good comes easy so if you see anyone telling you that money in blogging can be made overnight just stay clear because I just have to be truthful to you. You must work for your success in blogging just like every other business.

3. Define Your Success

You Need to have a goal as a Blogger. I have many goals before this year runs out and am working tirelessly to meet my goals.

As a Blogger you need to define your goals like ” How many subscribers will you get before the year runs out? , What will be your Alexa ranking Target in one month,

How much will you be spending on your blog monthly, How many articles will you be creating on your Blog every month no matter what, in the next month how many daily visitors will you be expecting on your blog? and many more.

If you can make a goal and work towards it, it will enhance your blog growth.

4. Don’t Be In Haste To See Your Success

This has made many quit blogging because they want it too fast but unfortunately, it doesn’t come that fast and they are like this is trash so they quit.

Blogging is like a seed you planted that you cannot reap the same day. instead, you will have to nurture them, work on them, and then they grow, and mature before you can then reap them.

But if you come to blogging with the aim of overnight success you’re like planting today and reaping tomorrow even if you succeed reaping it will yield no good.

Why not grow and nurture your blog them wait while it matures before thinking of reaping? Don’t be in Haste to make money from your blog instead occupy yourself with the taught to grow your blog..

Let the thinking of growing your blog, making your blog known, and satisfying your audience take the largest part of you not making money

because when you begin to think the money is too big even from the day one of launching your blog you might end up missing it. don’t forget these costly mistakes you must avoid to be a successful blogger

Don’t get me wrong please I never said you shouldn’t think of making money from your blog instead I mean you should nurture your blog like an infant baby first before making money. If you can do this then you won’t need to hustle for the money in blogging instead the money will look for you.

5. Learn New Things Everyday

You need to learn new things daily as a blogger that’s why you must keep a close eye on your competitor’s blog since blogging itself is a world of competition. I do compete with other bloggers in my niche without their notice,

if they post once a week I post three to four times because I want to beat them down. Learn the strategies that other bloggers are using to grow their blogs then explore more than they have done.

Don’t feel tired of trying new things because you can never tell which strategy works until you try. Try, Try and explore new things even when you have felt they might not work. Like they say “There’s no crime in trial”

It all started with the question “Is blogging in Nigeria profitable ?” and we said YES so I needed to show up some tips for successful Blogging which I have listed but a few and most essentials. am sure they will help when explored rightly.

Conclusion:

There’s no amount you can earn in blogging. you can earn millions and you can also earn Zero Naira. Am sure you know what I mean.

If Linda Ikeji doesn’t offer advertising space and doesn’t place AdSense ads on her Blog, am sure she won’t make money even with the large numbers of daily readers since that’s the major income source. So work your way out.
