Types of blogs you can upload to steemit to earn money
On the Internet you can find all kinds of information about blogging. Having a blog is in fashion and any information you need to create or improve your blog is on the Internet, but if you still do not have a blog and want to create one, you will need to know the types of blogs that exist.
Not all blogs are the same.
The different types of blogs are focused on very different objectives, so you can not generalize when talking about the functioning of a blog.
What works for one type of blog may not work for another type.
That's why I wanted to publish in this post the types of blogs that exist and what is the objective of each of them.
Types of blogs.
- Personal blog
One of the most created blogs is the personal blog.
Most people who start in the world of blogging what they do is create a staff, where the author usually talks about their day to day, the experiences they live or where they share their opinion on different topics.
Having a personal blog is a good way to let go a little and get experience, although being successful with a personal blog is quite complicated.
The important thing in this type of blog is to get a community of faithful readers.
Many of the people who decide to make a personal blog do not take it very seriously, and usually create it on free platforms such as Blogger or WordPress.com which is not bad to start, although after having blogs on Blogger when I started in this world , my recommendation is always to start directly on WordPress.org
An example of a personal blog is A fly on the moon.
Advantage
It is a good way to delve into blogging.
It's fun.
You can really write about what you want and nothing happens if the quality of the content is not very good.
You can have the rhythm of publications that you want.
Storytelling is a good way to convince the reader to buy a product.
Disadvantages
You do not usually make a lot of money with personal blogs.
Adsense, usually, will only give you to go a couple of times to the movies or to go out to dinner once in a while.
Getting organic visits (from search engines) is usually more complicated and your visits depend more on your followers in the networks.
- Professional blog
A professional blog is a blog focused on a certain niche market and whose goal is to get new customers.
In these types of blogs you will see that after each post there is usually a call to action with which they invite you to register to the blog or offer to hire a certain service.
An example of a professional blog is the Quondos Blog.
Advantage
It is the ideal method to get new clients.
You can earn a lot of money.
Disadvantages
It requires a more constant rate of publications.
You must have a quality product or service to not disappoint your customers.
- Niche blog.
Niche blogs are blogs focused on achieving Google positioning in a certain niche or micronicho and being monetized normally with Adsense, CPA and affiliate programs.
The important thing in this type of blog is not to get a community of readers but to position yourself in Google with a certain keyword.
An example of a niche blog is the Buy eBook blog by Ángel Alegre, which has generated almost € 5,000 / month.
Advantage
Once positioned, you do not need to maintain a high rate of publications.
They are ideal for experimenting with tricks or SEO techniques.
You can get really passive income.
You can earn a lot of money.
Disadvantages
They require an initial search to find profitable niches that have little competition.
It requires certain knowledge of SEO to position them.
They require a lot of initial work until they get to position themselves.
Once the income is positioned, it may be lower than the estimates.
- Corporate blog.
They are blogs created by large companies and their goal is to have a communication connection with their customers to build trust, increase the number of customers, increase sales and retain existing customers.
An example of a corporate blog is the Nestlé blog.
Advantage
They give the brand greater visibility on the Internet.
They generate confidence.
Loyalty customers
Disadvantages
They are not very subjective blogs in which the client does not usually find the typical opinion of another client but simply information about the company and the sector and a means to contact it.
- Brand blog.
A brand blog is one that reveals a professional brand with a personal or different touch.
Its objective is to make branding by sharing information on a specific topic, while sharing personal experiences that give a more positive image of the brand.
An example of a brand blog is the blog cooking ideas of Vodafone.
Advantage
Greater visibility to increase future sales.
Greater closeness with customers.
Disadvantages
It does not generate sales in the short term or in a visible way.
- Blog of a private network.
These blogs are like blogs "in the shade", simply created to form a network of private blogs with the aim of improving the positioning of a website that is intended to monetize, through links
Advantage
They serve, as I said, to improve the positioning of a website that generates revenue.
They do not require a community of readers.
They do not require constant monitoring or publication.
Disadvantages
They require a lot of SEO work.
- Blog shrapnel.
I have allowed myself the luxury of baptizing them with this name since they are blogs whose objective is to earn money at all costs, regardless of the media.
They use any medium, either copying content from other websites or tricking users to make a profit, through different means of advertising, such as CPA.
Advantage
You can earn a lot of money with them.
Disadvantages
They are not very ethical.
Revenues are usually not durable.
