There are numerous ways that blogging can be used to make money. As you build a solid readership, you can profit from advertising, affiliate links, and even direct product sales. Yet to maximise your profit there are a few factors to keep in mind. Making money through blogging relies on attracting and retaining visitors. 

Make your Blog More User-Friendly and Increase Profit !



You can only do this with a user-friendly, interesting, and unique website. This will in turn increase your profit by encouraging visitors to stay, share content, click on links, and purchase products. Otherwise, visitors will be repelled and will quickly move on to another website. The following are some tips to consider as you make your blog more user-friendly.

Avoid Clutter

There’s no bigger turnoff than a website that’s over-stuffed with advertisements, pictures, text, and flash animation. Too much clutter on your blog will confuse visitors, because they won’t know where they are supposed to look. To create a website that’s easy to navigate, you should only include content and images that are relevant and helpful. White space can make your design more appealing to the eye, and make the blog look tidy and modern.

Clearly Define Areas of the Website

If you have decided to place advertisements on your blog to make money, take care that these stay in a clearly defined area. You don’t want a reader to click on a link thinking that they are going to find more information and then simply be directed to an advert instead. This will make them feel cheated, and unlikely to visit again. When placing links and headings on your website, make sure that they go where they are supposed to.

Create a One-Stop Checkout 

Many websites are now blurring the lines between blog and ecommerce shop. If you specialise in a certain type of content, it makes sense to sell products that could be useful to your readers to make a profit. However, it’s easy to lose your customers if the checkout process is too long and involved. Try to keep the checkout and payment on one page, if possible, or in an easy to navigate process. For example, if you go to the online shopVibrations Direct to buy a strap on, it takes you to a three-step checkout system. These steps are clearly defined and don’t require you to pre-register before checkout. Larger stores like Amazon.com are even more successful because they remember user details to streamline payment. You can incorporate these same ideas on your blog.

Update Content Regularly

After you have created a website with a clean and efficient checkout process, you’re not done. You’ll still need to update your content on a regular basis to keep your old readers coming back for more. This will also help your blog become more noticeable in the search engines. Blogging is not only a way to make money, but it should also be a way for you to share your ideas! Be sure to interact with readers in the comment section, responding to comments or questions that they might have. All of these steps will help your blog take off and be more user-friendly.
