As you already know well, blog writing is an important part of any online marketing effort. Thus, improving on the kind of content posted on your blog is a must. Here are a few ways that can help you make better blog posts.

Creating consistency

As in any content marketing, consistency is important if you want your blog to be more recognizable. Producing blog contents consistent with each other also helps build your reputation as a reliable source of information.

One good way of creating consistency in your blog posts is to come up with a style guide for these.

An editorial style guide is a great problem solver in the writing room. With a style guide, there is no need to wonder what the right way is or how things were done last time. A style guide knows. A style guide remembers. A style guide sets the rules to follow so that everyone is on the same page.
Creating a style guide is a relatively simple process. If you are well familiar with the audience, you will have a good idea the kind of content they best respond to. From there, it will be easy to pick out particular writing style choices common in these contents and compile them into a comprehensive writing guide.

Have an extensive editing process

Note that even if you have a definite blog writing style, your output still has room for improvement. Thus it would be good practice for all your content go through an extensive editing process before being posted online. Here, editing is not limited to just fixing spelling and grammatical errors, it can go as far as rewriting whole portions of the content to better deliver the intended message of the particular piece.
In most cases, you can do the editing by yourself. However, there are advantages to letting someone else handle the work for you. For one, they will be able to spot mistakes that you overlook. Independent editors are also free of the bias you yourself might have towards your work and will be able to provide you with better alternatives to improve the content. Stay away from automated grammar checkers, as while they make the work faster, these don’t offer as good a result compared to human editors.

Get feedback

The easiest ways to get feedback from your readers is through the comment box on posts. Read through all of these and you will find a lot of helpful suggestions for improvement. Interact with them to better get their pulse on your content.
Writer Michael Hyatt also points out that it is a good idea to encourage your readers to actively scrutinize your work. Ask your readers to tell what parts of your posts are confusing, uninteresting, or downright problematic. Use these comments to improve your blog writing on the particular topics they mentioned.

When people see the term „passive“ income, they often think of earning money with no work. However, nothing can be further from the truth.

The fact is, it does require work to make passive income. However, the work you do is done once, and then you keep making money later on the work you did before. It’s different from service-based work where you must do the work each time to produce income. With passive income you create something today that keeps earning money later.

Examples of Passive Income

Some examples that you may be aware of are savings accounts, investments, and real estate. All of these enable you to spend money one time, or spend some money one time, and keep earning income into infinity.

But, you can also earn passive income online today. Some examples are information products, membership websites, eCourses, and eBook sales.

The Benefits

People who want to earn money from passive income understand how trading hours for dollars can be limiting. They want to put their time and money to use one time and keep earning from those efforts. It’s the way insurance sales people have made money for years. They earn a little commission from each person that buys and keeps paying for insurance. Then the more people they sell the insurance to, the bigger and bigger their monthly income becomes. It might take a lot of work to get there, but eventually through momentum it seems like everything becomes a lot easier.

The Two Types

If you would like to earn an income via passive income, there are several ways to do so online. However, mostly you can break it down to two different ways.

Promote Other People’s Products

This is one of the fastest ways to get started. Figure out who you want to sell to, know the audience well, and then find products and solutions for them to promote. There are even membership websites where you can promote to them so that you can earn a monthly residual income that grows.

Create Your Own Products

This is another way that you can get involved with making passive income online. At first, creating the product is a lot of work, but once you get a number of affiliates promoting the product, the income will grow exponentially, month after month and year after year.

The main question now is who your audience is, and which way you’ll go. Most people actually choose both methods. They sell other people’s products, and they create their own. Most people start with selling other people’s products, then eventually create their own after they get some experience with building a list and other marketing methods.
