Part-time data entry jobs and blogging are just two of the many examples of remote work opportunities available today. With the rise of digital marketing, content writing and blogging have gained immense importance for businesses.

However, blogging is not just about writing. A blogger needs a deep understanding of a topic or product and good convincing skills to make the desired impact on the readers.

So let’s MOVE to the root of the matter.

Tips To Make A Full Time Living As A Part Time Blogger

Here we are discussing some of the ways bloggers can adopt when they start blogging and progress with time and eventually earn full time income.

1. Get inspired

Blogging or writing is not something that can be done mechanically. Only one who is fond of writing and who is fond of writing can do this. If you think you can blog, give yourself a chance.

Don’t be afraid to fail. No one becomes a great writer overnight. You have to keep yourself motivated throughout. Once you feel you are good at it, you can decide whether you want to do it full time or keep it as a part-time endeavor alongside your job. But, remember, without passion and inspiration, your blog will just become a piece of writing.

Renowned blogger and Payoneer’s brand ambassador, Jitendra Vaswani, shares how he got inspired to start blogging, “I got inspired seeing many top marketers who are living their internet lifestyle by blogging. I read their stories and told how they failed and succeeded in their business. I learned from his failures. I couldn’t handle a 9 to 5 job; It was bland and very restrictive. I have always wanted independence of my money; The salary of US$500 per month was not enough to run my life.”

2. Find Your Niche

It is a common misconception that bloggers will write well on any topic. Well, that’s not true! Everyone has some area of interest that they have enough knowledge and love to write about.

In this boom of online content, if you want your content to stand out and resonate with readers, you need to be well versed in the topic. For this, you must find your niche – something you are most comfortable with and passionate about learning.

This can be anything you feel connected to, such as cooking, parenting, fashion, marketing or travel. Narrow it down further to your target readers and understand the problems you will be solving. The more narrow you are, the more your readers will engage with your blog.

3. Test Your Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

Now that you have decided to write and are motivated enough to start writing before you lose momentum. You can start by creating your account on a free platform like Medium or Blogger.

Test out your first few articles on these free writing platforms. This will provide the following benefits:

You don’t need to know about the technical setup and features.

Available for free hosting

Ready audience is available for your work. Such platforms promote your work among their audience based on the popularity of your article. The more popularity your article gets, the more people it reaches.

You can also connect with influencers on these platforms, who can expand your reach by sharing your work on their social media.

Such platforms also provide free analytics about your writing performance.

However, you cannot continue on such free platforms for long as they offer limited customization and you do not own the domain. They are suitable for testing your work, and once you have enough confidence, you can move on to your hosted blog.

4. Learn the Basics of Marketing

Since your goal is to make good money from blogging, you must learn how to market your blog. If you write good content but do not drive enough traffic to your blog, it will not lead to much success financially.

You must know the basics of marketing to earn full time income from your blog. There are many online resources available that teach you the concepts of running a successful blog. Problogger, Neil Patel, HubSpot, Buffer and Moz are some popular blogs that can be of great help.

These blogs can teach you a variety of topics, such as search engine optimization, growth hacks, or content marketing.

5. Find ways to make money.

To make money from your blog, you need to find out the methods. For starters, focus on building a loyal following. When you have a good number of visitors to your blog, think about monetization channels based on the needs of your audience.

You can display interesting ads to your readers, sell products directly to them, earn commission through affiliate marketing, write sponsored articles or provide consulting to people.

You can think of many other ways to earn good salary from blogging. But, creating quality content and building a loyal audience for your work is a prerequisite.

Conclusion

Blogging is emerging as a popular career option, especially as a part-time job from home for students, homemaker moms and retired people. If you think you can write, don’t second guess and start writing. There is nothing to lose anyway. Just be patient and watch yourself grow slowly.

Follow these tips to start earning well as a part-time writer or blogger. Don’t expect instant results, but grow, be patient and you will get results.
