Successful Blogging Comes From The Heart

Blogging is a wonderful tool for me, it allows me to get thoughts out of my head, writing is something I have used since a young age to get thoughts out of my head in order to move forward in my life. This blog is a mix of things, but honestly with all I have going on at the moment I tend to write more personal, from the heart posts because again this is my outlet and stress relief. As a blogger you are told to find your niche, what particular topic are you best at and what are you looking to offer your readers by creating a blog.

When I started my original blog I was doing it as a way to share work at home direct sales information because that is what I was originally doing to make money from home, but as I wrote more I found my voice and realized that the best thing I have to share with the world is my positive attitude. I am known for smiling when everyone else would be screaming and/or crying. Don’t get me wrong, I do have days when I still cry or scream, but those days get less as each day passes.

Back to the subject of blogging and finding your niche, I personally can’t focus on “one niche”, I mean I guess you could say that overall I like to promote positive thinking and self awareness, but I also love to support those looking to earn money from home and those who want to start blogging. I figured I could lump all the skills I have into one blog because the common theme is “positive thinking”.

One must have a positive, outgoing attitude to survive in the virtual world, if you are going to make money from home you  must be able to put yourself out there.  One of the ways I put myself out there is through video blogs, commonlly referred to as “vlogs”, which I actually have a full page devoted to my vlogs here at Happily Blended as well as a few others sites I upload to that are not shared on this blog but are shared on my Twitter and Facebook feeds instead.

The posts here at Happily Blended that get the most hits, obviously aside from my giveaways are personal stories that I wrote on a pad of paper while the thought crossed my mind. I advise you to have a notepad or a voice recorder if you want to create a successful blog or even write a successful book. People can read the passion and heart felt emotions behind your writing when you write at the moment the story hits your mind. When your post is written during that specific time of thought then you will have a very, very successful blog with visitors who will come back to read more.

If you are looking to make income from your blog, be sure to take on paid opportunities that pertain to your niche, be patient and those opportunities will come to you. I am on a few lists where I get keywords that companies want to pay me to have within my blog posts. I can write my personal stories as if I would normally but simply link a few of the words to a site and get paid for it, those opportunities are what work best for me honestly. Some other bloggers may prefer to do more sponsored type posts and that works for me as well. I like to keep an open mind and be aware of what my readers want as well as what I WANT my blog to become.

In the end successful blogging is all about what you define it to be, maybe you want a specific  number of subscribers, comments or visitors daily, but for me it’s all about the few close connections I have gained through blogging and the money I started making due to those connections was simply a bonus!
