Tip #11: Your blog is not a hobby. Treat it like a business
If you’re serious about your blog and treat it like a business, it could actually become your main source of income. But like any business, you’ll only achieve success if you invest time, energy, and money in your blog.
To turn your blogging hobby into a successful business, you need to approach it exactly as you would any other business. You should:
- Create a plan with short term, mid-term and long-term goals. A plan will give you direction and focus.
- Assign resources such as time, money, equipment and software. You might also need people if you don’t have the time to run the blog yourself.
- Create a logo and company colors as this will help people to remember your brand.
- Organize your blog into categories to make it easy for visitors to find information easily.
- Build credibility by delivering on your promises.
- Monetize your blog.
- Maintain financial records.
- Use analytics tools to track and monitor performance and adjust strategy when performance is poor.
