There are 3 common question asked by those that come to me get started in internet marketing: What to blog about? What to write about in a blog? What to write a blog about?

At the heart of these questions is a little desperation to make money and/or be popular. These are the first things that you need to let go of to move forward.

Answering the question, What to blog about to make money should in fact be the same answer that will give writers motivation to blog regardless of the financial gain.

The greatest success of any blog and certainly the money earning blogs that I have in Niche Markets comes from 2 things;

• Providing quality content worth remarking about and bookmarking.
• Being consistent and sticking to a regular schedule of creating new content.

Both of these require a valuable resource… TIME!

So pick a subject that is EASY for you, and develop a style that is FAST and efficient.

What To Blog About » 5 Motivations

There are five great motivations that you should try to invoke when you are deciding what today’s blog post should be about:

1. Provide Good Advice
   Give great well researched advice to your readers and point them in a good direction when they leave your blog.
2. Answer Common Questions
   If your blog is new just go over to Yahoo Answers and search around your niche/market.
   If you have an existing blog access your visitor tracking (Google Analytics or Wordpress Stats Plugin) and have a look at the longtail keyword phrases that visitors are typing into the search engines to find you, you find that a lot of these are actually questions.
3. Provide The Best Information
   Provide good quality information but get to the point early, make sure you give away the key points in the first few paragraphs and then get into the detail.
4. Write Real Reviews
   Review products, websites and resources. Do the research for your visitors and combine it all into one clear concise review of the product. Stamp your personality on the review so that visitors develop trust and familiarity. They will then have no problems buying through your affiliate links.
5. Expanding on any of the above
   Every article or product review you write has at least another three articles inside it, this allows you to get even more niche and dominate higher search engine rankings for more achievable keyphrases.
