I teach a lot of digital marketing topics but the the information I am about to share with you is by far what I get the most demand for.
How to build a profitable, high traffic technology blog
There are over 1.2 billion websites on the internet and hundreds of millions of those are WordPress. Every day, millions of people come on to the web for the first time and millions of people realize that they can try and make money online as well.
In that vein, every day millions of people realize that they will fail at making money online for 2 reasons.
- It’s a real skill – NO BS – There is a lot of learning involved. Most people will never put the time in required to learn how to build an online business properly.
- It take a lot of work – Anyone who owns a blog knows that it’s a labor of love. It involves late nights, long days and lots of business development to get a blog or online business anywhere near decent.
Most people simply do not have the propensity to learn and the patience to fail until they succeed.
As a result, the amount of people who know how to create a successful online business like a technology blog are very few. The amount of us who are able to do it solo are smaller still.
Why create a technology blog?
Technology blogs are awesome if you like technology. Depending on your background and the niche you choose, it can be the most fun you ever have in your life.
In many cases, you get to write about something that is fun, has millions of people interested in it and you can quickly become a leader and influencer if you do it right.
In addition, creating a tech blog is still (in 2018) very profitable if you do it right. You can make a six figure income if you are strategic from the start.
That’s part of the reason why I am writing this series – to give you a roadmap to putting together your own profitable technology blog.
In fact, a lot of the lessons in this series will be helpful for whatever online business you decide to start (if you choose to do so).
My experience with technology blogs
I am fortunate to have done something only very few people have ever done – I created and ran a profitable, high traffic independent technology blog for years.
Some interesting anecdotes:
- I started a Microsoft Windows technology blog in 2007 that took off and made me a sweet six figure income annually as a hobby.
- My blogs got over 50 million visitors and close to 100 million page views.
- I became an authority figure on the Microsoft Windows platform because of my blogs.
- My newsletter email list grew to over 80,000 people (costing me over $750 a month to host).
- I became a Microsoft MVP for Windows because of my technology blogs.
- I got to cover Microsoft events as a member of the Press because of my technology blogs.
- The President of Microsoft’s Windows Division responded to criticisms I made from my blog.
- I made a ton of money and built a lot of great business relationships because of my blogs.
- I built a large social media fanbase because of my blogs.
- I learned more than most people will ever learn about digital marketing because of my blogs.
- Because of the volume of web traffic I was dealing with, I learned more about web hosting and web infrastructure than most people can ever imagine.
- I also learned how to monetize blogs in multiple ways as a result of having a steady traffic stream.
High traffic technology blogs literally changed my life.
Of course, to get to that point, I failed at building a lot of websites and wasted a lot of money like a rock star! Goes with the territory.
But after several years of figuring it out, I came up with a blue print that I was able to replicate over and over again to make money.
That’s what I am going to share with you. For FREE. I’ll share the mistakes I made and give you the 13 steps I discovered to building the framework for a high traffic profitable technology blog.
Tomorrow, I’ll walk you through the first step – how to pick a technology niche to focus on. You’ll learn about how to figure out what technology to cover, what subjects don’t work and my exclusive belly of the whale strategy.
