Problem is, not many bloggers\/online journalists make a single penny for their hard effort they put into their blog. Well, I\u2019m going to tell you what I believe are the five major reasons why your blog doesn&#8217;t make money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason 1: You\u2019re Not Focusing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus is a major element of blogging that may people lack; it&#8217;s complete discipline that has to be learned. To make money from your blog, you have to stay focused on the main goals for why you\u2019ve started it and how you plan to eventually monetize your platform. Staying from your goals will send you down a path where you\u2019re speaking to an audience that doesn\u2019t care which creates a false sense of community that will never buy from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/student-make-money-online.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/student-make-money-online.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/student-make-money-online-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason 2: You\u2019re Promoting the Wrong Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The product is everything. Your content becomes a vehicle for promoting products once you\u2019ve gained traction online but it\u2019s far too common to see a blogger choose items that are going to make them a lot of money per sale vs. what actually fits on their blog. With enough time, people feel burnt out on your offerings because you\u2019re always throwing new products at them; they catch on to this, leave and now your blog fails to make money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason 3: You\u2019re Reaching the Wrong Audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of audience and talking to the wrong people \u2013 far too many bloggers write for other bloggers. The problem comes when fellow bloggers, in the niche, regularly comment on your blog; this sways the way you speak to your true community (the real buyers) so you end up appealing to these bloggers rather than the community at large. In time, you\u2019re off your track, changed your tone and lost focus in turning your blog into a profit because you are too overwhelmed trying to \u201ckeep up\u201d with other bloggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason 4: You\u2019re Confusing the Readers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are niche sites and authority websites; the later makes you the most money because of the sheer size of an audience you can bring in but niche sites can certainly make a boatload of money. Unfortunately, many bloggers start to sway from their topics and end up confusing the readers. One day you\u2019re promoting a product and the next you are trying to get them to sign up for a service \u2013 stick with only a few options for your readers and drive it home; don\u2019t confuse them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason 5: You\u2019re a Fake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This one isn\u2019t really meant to be an attack but there are far too many people that are completely fake about their blogging. What I mean is that they setup a blog and pretend to be experts in their topic yet all they do is regurgitate information over and over again \u2013 people can see through this. Sure, you may eventually make money with enough traffic but you\u2019re not going to get the right kind of traction to make any decent amount of money. Instead of trying to chase some niche you don\u2019t know \u2013 go after something you do and become the master of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making money with a blog really isn\u2019t all that difficult; it really just comes down to finding a product people want, wrapping it around content people want to read and reaching out to the people that want your message. Don\u2019t overcomplicate things and certainly don\u2019t make the mistakes and reasons for failing that have been described in this post else you\u2019re going to be spending a lot of time with no financial gain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every online business has that dream, someone in their head, of making money from their website whether it&#8217;s just a bit to have a night out or to completely replace their income.
