Make Money Blogging: What Does It Take To Generate 1,000,000 Pageviews & $3,000 Per Month

Make Money Blogging You want to make money blogging? You do? I can help you. But don't think I am going to give you yet another 101 ways to make money online. Because it doesn't work that way at all. Seriously. If you already have a blog and is exploring ways to monetize your blog then here's a list of over 40 Google AdSense alternatives to make money blogging. Over the past several months, I have been trying to scale-up my content creation process --- to create more blog posts per month in a consistent way. However, I was not able to do it and is yet to find a way that works for me. But the good thing is, I ended up doing a lot of maths. I love maths. No, not the stuff that you and me learned at school --- differentiation, integration, algebra, matrices, etc. --- but the one applied in real life. In fact, that's how I ended up writing a fun blog post about How Much Traffic Do You Need To Make $100,000 a few years back. It was all about traffic and income and surprisingly it became one of the most popular posts on my blog. So, today I just wanted to do a reverse blog post based on the numbers that I have worked out. That is,
How Much Money Should You Invest In Content Marketing To Generate 1,000,000 Pageviews And $3,000 Per Month
And it's about traffic, income, and costs too. The only problem is, the math that I have used on the previous blog post can be applied to almost any blog/website out there. But the current math can't be as it's mostly based on my own traffic insights plus few case studies. So, there's every chance that the actual figures applicable for your own blog could be a lot different from mine. Needless to say, it ultimately depends upon your website's niche, authority, and marketing efforts. For instance, the number of pageviews of a blog depends very much on its bounce rate. Even a slight change in bounce rate means a lot in terms of pageviews. My bounce rate is over 85% and the number of pages per visit is 1.30/visit. Now if I've managed to reduce my bounce rate to say around 80% then the number of pages per visit will be around 1.50/visit. And it will easily result in a 15% jump in pageviews (with zero additional content creation). Coming back,

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is evolving. And the good thing is... you no longer need a ton of backlinks to rank higher on search engines. In fact, all the Google algorithmic updates that happened over the past several years were to filter out low-quality websites.

And there was another update to penalize web pages with slow loading speed or one with lot of ads. Here is a comprehensive list of SEO resources that I have collected over the past several years. I have made sure that only the best resources that are comprehensive and simple to understand remain in this list.

The Definitive Guide To Writing A Perfectly Optimized Blog Post

Writing is my Hobby

First Published: March 18, 2014; Last Updated: February 3, 2015

Over the past several months I have collected a ton of good resources about how to write a perfect blog post. And I thought it’s better to do a mashup than simply rewriting/reposting what’s already said in the blogosphere.

So, I will be focusing on writing a blog post that’s well optimized and that attracts search engine and social media love.

As you probably know, there are a lot of bloggers who write really awesome content but the problem is their blog posts are not so optimized. The reason could be they don’t care about SEO much or they are not so tech-savvy so they don’t know how to optimize their blog posts.

Hence I believe that this blog post will also help the not so tech-savvy bloggers (food blogs, personal blogs) so that they can optimize their existing and future blog posts to skyrocket the traffic.

Over 40 Image Sources & Tools For Free Stock Photos, Images & Cliparts

Free Stock Photos Image Credit: Free Digital Photos

Like every other blogger, I have been using Google Images for Clip art, Images, and Photos for my blog even though I didn’t want to. But recently I created a Lifestyle blog for a friend and advised her to use Flickr for images.

I was totally impressed by her image searching capability and decided to use Flickr for my blog as well. Again, the blogpost by Roni Loren titled “Blogger Beware: You CAN Get Sued For Using Photos You Don't Own on Your Blog” was a total eye-opener.

I read that article a couple of days back and got to action. Why? Because Roni said that we can get sued for using those clip-arts, stock images, and photos which we get from Google Images. I have often, like most of you, royally ignored the warning message from Google which says “Images may be subject to copyright.” while previewing images.

So where can you get images from now? Use images with a Creative Commons License. Creative Commons Attribution License indicates that you're free to share, remix and make commercial use of the work as long as you give an attribution.
