No matter what sort of business you’re running, your business will benefit greatly from building and monetizing an email list.
Or perhaps you’re not yet running a business, and you’re still in the early phases of figuring out the best ways to make money online. Here again, building a mailing list is your path to profits.
The question is, how do you build and monetize a list? That’s what you’re about to find out inside this guide.
Even though you should keep up with current trends, know that you can use what you have learned over and over again. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time – you just have to incorporate new trends and changes in the niche as you learn about them.
That’s why it might be the hardest the first time you write a book about a particular topic but it will get so much easier over time. Soon enough, you’ll know the topic so intimately that you could write a book about it in your sleep. The more you write on a topic, the more of an expert you’ll become.
I promise you that even if it seems difficult right now, writing the next book will be a lot easier and faster. It will be so easy to write book after book that your audience will respond to just because you’ve taken the time to do the research now.
The best bloggers out there are absolutely killing it, earning far more than most people can even imagine.
For example, Ryan Robinson is earning more than $30,000 per month simply from his blog. Not bad, right?
In Ryan’s case, it took him over two years to begin generating serious income from his blog. He launched the blog in 2014, and the first monthly income report he published was in 2018 for $9,322.
Generating traffic organically takes time and patience but it can pay off. Ryan says he doesn’t expect a new post to rank on page one of Google any sooner than after six months, if they rank at all. Blogging will not get you rich overnight, but if you keep at it then you could build to a serious income over time.
Here’s how Ryan has found success:
1: He writes massive 10,000 word posts. These are enormous authority articles that sometimes rank for the most popular of keywords, such as “business ideas” which is a 100,000 monthly search volume keyword.
2: His favorite post is the listicle; huge, exhaustive lists such as ‘101 Business Ideas’ and ‘70 Genius Ways to Make Money Online.’ These posts could easily be Kindle books but he chooses to place them on his site to bring in traffic.
3: His other favorite type of post is the ‘how to’ guide, such as How to Start a Blog and How to Start a Freelancing Business While Working Full Time. These are long, detailed and all-encompassing guides that Google loves to rank high.
4: 92% of his income comes from affiliate sales. His top three affiliate products are Bluehost, Dreamhost and Flexjobs.
5: Ryan writes about freelancing and making money online because he’s worked as a freelancer and because there is substantial affiliate income to be made in this niche. He doesn’t recommend choosing a niche just because you love it unless you know ahead of time how you’re going to monetize it.
6: Ryan focuses on getting backlinks because Google determines your ‘social status’ with your niche via the number and type of backlinks you have. Some of his backlinks come from major sites such as Hubspot, GoDaddy, Yelp, Money.com, LinkedIn blog and Sitepoint.
7: To get prized backlinks from major players, Ryan schedules a call with them, interviews them and then mentions them in his article. He says this dramatically increases the odds they will back link to you, as opposed to simply writing about someone and then telling them they are mentioned in your article.
8: Ryan continually updates his content and then places an ‘updated on date’ tag next to the title. He does this because Google encourages content creators to continually update their content.
9: He uses personal anecdotes and stories in his articles. He likes to open with a story and continue the personal tone and his own thoughts throughout the article, and it works.
10: Ryan stays focused on this blog. He hasn’t started a second and third blog on other topics and he’s not doing anything outside of this niche. He does, however, still do some freelancing work, which makes sense since he writes about the freelancing experience.
10.5 Most of his posts don’t do all that well. Crazy as it might sound, his average blog posts only garner a few hundred views per month. And yet his top 15 posts bring in a flood of traffic that compensates. You never know which posts are going to explode, which is why you just have to keep writing and doing your best. Sooner or later, you will hit upon posts that drive massive traffic, and that traffic will then discover your other, less popular posts as well.

As “bad off” as you think you are, there are undoubtedly people out there who would give just about anything to reach the level of success you’ve reached. They would stop at nothing to achieve even just a little bit. They’re either new, unfocused, have hit too many roadblocks, or don’t know the first thing about making a solid plan and sticking with it.
Do you think you could help someone like that? I’m positive you can. What’s great is that helping others will help you. Mentoring or coaching other people helps you see business, mindset, and action taking in a whole new light. Understanding the problems others have and helping them through it is the perfect way to practice seeing your own problems from a whole new light.
You don’t have to be the world’s #1 expert on a topic in order to offer your help. That’s a common misconception. There are so many people out there who could be helping others but who don’t have the confidence to get their start.
