One of the common ways people make money online is through blogging. However, as there are many bloggers online, it is not so straightforward that anyone who starts a blog will make money. Also, there are many kinds of blogs you can begin with, and in my experience, an authority blog has the highest chance of success in generating profits!<\/p>\n
An authority blog is a blog created by someone who is knowledgeable and experienced in a niche. This kind of blog offers trusted and sound advice for beginners on a specific topic. For example, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) can blog about how small businesses can do their accounting more efficiently and with easy-to-understand methods.<\/p>\n
Not all authority blogs require you to have a certificate or formal education. You can also start an authority blog if you have experience in a subject and also the interest to share what you know with beginners in your domain area. For example, you may have grown indoor plants for several years and you know how to take good care of indoor plants. With this knowledge, you can start an authority blog to share how beginners can take care of their new indoor plants, how to prevent pests in plants, how to grow indoor plants healthily, etc.<\/p>\n
Let’s look at several real authority blogs that are making money now.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The first blog is archeryandbow.com, it is created by Carolyn who wants to share useful tips for beginners starting out in Archery.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This blog generates most of its revenue from Amazon affiliate program. In the past two months (Dec 2022 & Jan 2023), it generates USD$300+ per month from the products Carolyn recommends on her blog. This means Carolyn does not sell anything in her blog, she just recommends a product, and when someone reads her post and clicks on the links to buy the products, she will make some commissions.<\/p>\n
Notice on the blog itself has a page titled ‘Recommended Gear’, this kind of page has been proven to be very effective in getting conversations from your website\/blog readers. Hence, I strongly suggest you should also consider creating such a page for your authority blog too!<\/p>\n
