This post is dedicated to all those who have a desire to make their dream come true and the dream is to make money online. Though I haven't been much successful with it yet I believe it is quite achievable. It is getting very common for me to meet bloggers today who have put their priority first to make money online above all other things. Very little they realize that it requires a lot of thinking, smart work and long term strategies to make it happen in real.
People are still making money online and there are 'n' number of examples for the same. But it was never like that they did it overnite. They must have done a lot of work for the same. A common thing that must have happened with all of them is that they must have made sure that they are never comprising with the quality of the postings. And this really holds true to most of us especially those who are probloggers.
To make money online, it requires diligent content to be posted on your site which again must be based on a niche. And not to mention, all these needs to marketed to your readers by developing a strategy, a long term strategy which pays off in terms of monetary benefits. One of the basics to be mastered before having any desire to make money online is that whatever you do or think, never let your readers down by providing a poor content. Content is the King...as it is very rightly said. So, being a problogger, you have to make sure that there are readers on your blog for the content and not "to be sold".
This should again be followed by making it clear to your readers that whatever you are marketing or selling through your blog is based on the theme of your site. Have valid reasons for the same. Ultimately people should get an understanding of products and services that you are offering as this is likely to help them in decision making before purchasing anything from your site. So, to take it as a whole...for all the aspiring online money makers, your blog building process should involve delicate balance between supplying useful information mixed in with subtle promotional messages as well. You need to have a strategy for the same.
And below are the 3 main long-term strategies that you should be following if you have any such plan to make money online :
Have an Auto Responder
This is a must do thing for any problogger or for those who have a desire to make money online. Very first thing, you need to make the most out of the traffic generated. This can be done by collecting names of all those who have visited your site. This is very helpful as it allows you to easily make contact with them again in the future in order to present any of your products or services. And to make this possible, auto-responders must be used that will allow you to prepare messages in advance and sends them out automatically on designated dates. This is one of the primary necessities for any problogger as it saves huge amounts of time and is an absolute necessity when building a list, which is highly recommended.
Make use of Relevant Products
Whatever product you want to sell from your site, it should be relevant. It should match with the theme of your site. Must make sure that you are making use of relevant affiliate products to market it or sell it to your your readers and list members. Must not forget again that people are finally there for the content and for not "to be sold". Have a solid content first and keep all other things secondary.
Have a Mission Statement
This is yet another major addition that you must do. Your readers should know about the intentions or mission of your blogging. This can be done by highlighting it clearly in the header of your blog. This is very important as it can drastically affect the outlook of your readers. Very often readers leave soon as they are not interested in what they see. Once you have a mission like statement, visitors will be more targeted and responsive to your content and promotional efforts as well.
So, here are the 3 very basics but yet very important points to be followed for any blogger who has a desire to make money online. Obviously a consistent blog posting schedule is important to attract and retain traffic. Along with this however you will need a strategy for generating an income if you expect to get paid to blog. The three points as discussed above will be an intricate component of your blog building process. But yes, never compromise with your blog readership. The life of your site and your ability to earn an income both rely upon viewer loyalty so always keep that your top priority!

Great post Aswani as usual! I agree with you, these are three important points to follow. In order of importance, first you need of having a plan or mission. It can help you to focus on one or more goals. Second, choose high profitable products to promote. If you sell affiliate product make sure to get an high commission as well. Third, start build traffic, the more people are interest in what you're promoting the more chance you have to achieve your goals. ;)

Auto responding to emails is ok but mailing the comenters just to say thanks for ur comment is the most annoying thing, even without an unsubscribe link , especially when i get 50-60 imp mails every day. I gave up visiting many blogs due to this and report to various anti spam directory. Sorry for being rude.
