How to Make Money as a Hip-Hop Blogger by O Marshall
Hip-hop blogs are one of the fastest growing trends on the internet. Each day, millions of people go online and search for hip-hop related content. According to Google, the world’s largest search engine, the top three hip-hop related keywords (rap, hip-hop and hiphop) get over 87 million searches globally each month. On top of that, there are tens of millions searches performed each month for less popular search terms-everything from “hip-hop beef” to “best rap punch lines”. That traffic results in tens of millions of dollars in annual sales and advertising revenues for the lucky website owners whose sites appear at the top of the search results pages for those terms. The people running these sites aren’t internet gurus who happen to love hip-hop; they’re fans, artists and entrepreneurs who happened to have started blogs. Here’s a quick overview on how to start a hip-hop Blog and make money Blogging.
Pick a Niche for Your Blog
The narrower your focus, the easier it will be for you to get to the top of the search results pages for related searches. For example, “hip-hop” is too broad a topic for most Bloggers. If you choose a niche like “east-coast hip-hop” or “unsigned rappers” to blog about, you’ll have much less competition and a better chance at getting to the top of the search results pages.
Choose a Domain Name that Fits Your Niche
Your domain name is the website address for your blog. Try to come up with something catchy, memorable and relevant to your niche.
Find a Web Host
Your web host will store all the files related to your blog and provide you with tools and a simple interface for managing your website. For about $6 per month, you should be able to find a host that offers free lifetime domain registration, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited storage space.
Install and Customize WordPress
WordPress is the most popular Blogging Software in the world, and it’s absolutely free. Most web hosts provide an automatic installation wizard like Simple Scripts, which allows you to install WordPress in less than five minutes. Once installed, you can customize it using free hip-hop themes and add all types of features with free plugins.
Start Posting Hip-Hop Related Content
What would your hip-hop blog be without hip-hop related content? Start writing short posts related to your niche. You don’t need to be a great writer either. Some of my posts consist of one sentence and a video or MP3 file. You can add music, videos, pictures and links to your posts to make them more interesting. Whatever you want. After all, it’s your blog.
Start Promoting Your Hip-Hop Blog
Once you’ve published 15-20 pages/posts of unique content, you need to start Promoting Your Blog.
These are just some of the many ways to promote your blog and start appearing in the search engine results pages.
Monetize Your Blog
The easiest way to monetize your blog is to sign up with an advertising network like Google AdSense. This program is responsible for most of the ads you see on websites these days. It uses a patented technology to try and figure out what the page you’re viewing is about and display ads related to the same topic.
While AdSense is the easiest and most popular way to monetize your blog, it’s not the only way. Other ways include:
The list goes on and on. Once you’ve monetized your blog, all you need to do is keep posting interesting content and keep promoting. This will bring more traffic to your hip-hop blog, and the more traffic you get, the more money you can make.
