Make Money With New Visitors to Your Blog

One thing you can do to bring in new visitors to your blog is make posts that are ”off topic”. Studies have proven that new visitors are the ones most likely to click on your ads and use them for all they are worth. When a person first visits a site his/her brain is stimulated and engaged in the process. Their minds are open and they become curious and they don’t mind pushing those buttons and checking out your ads to see what it’s all about. After a visitor has been on a site for a while and becomes a ”regular” he/she becomes desensitized and eventually stop using your ads. There’s a certain point where visitors only read your posts. 

By going off topic and bringing in someone new you not only benefit from their first time curiosity and clicking instincts… chances are very good that you can change their thought process and that can be good for both you and the visitors.

They might decide they need what you have to offer even if it was the furthest thing from their minds when they first came to your site. For instance, if I make a post about sailboats, or mention them and use it as a keyword search I will get some first time visitors who are into sailing. After they get here and read my post about small sailboats, they might stay and learn how easy it is to start a blog and learn that blogs can make money. That might stay in the back of their mind and it could get them thinking about starting a blog about sailing. Soon they could be doing searches and checking into blogs. From there, hopefully they will come back to my site, use MomsCashBlog’s Free Blog Tutorial and use my ads for blog monetization. All that could happen just because I made a post about something other than Make Money With Your Blog.

This makes sense to me, because when I think back to when I first got the “blogging bug”, I realize it was not intentional. I did not come online and look up “make money with blogs”.  I don’t remember the whole process, but I know it didn’t happen overnight. I was searching for things that had nothing to do with blogs. I was looking into medical issues… and the next thing I knew I was looking for ways to make money online… then I was looking into blogs. At some point I landed on MomsCashBlog found Krysti and the rest is history! lol Or maybe it was ”destiny”? Who knows! Six months before that, I never dreamed I’d be running a blog, let alone buying MCB, but I did and I’m sure glad I met her… and glad I bought the blog! I’ve made some good money in the first 2 months and even though I have a lot to learn, I’m already enjoying the process and the people I’ve met.

Maybe I went off topic, or maybe somewhere along the line, someone went off topic on their blog and in doing so it got ME into blogs. So my point is, don’t be afraid to go off topic once in a while. You’ll bring in some new visitors, make money, and you could be helping someone out in the process.

Look at John Chow! (He’s in my Entrecard at the moment, so he isn’t hard to find! LOL) We all know he’s the make money blogger of all time, but he doesn’t just write about blogging in every single post. First of all, he keeps his blog open to many topics by calling it “The Miscellaneous Ramblings of a Dot Com Mogel”. He switches it up and tells his readers of many interesting things in his life (not just blogging). In his last post he shared pictures of a fine dining experience with them. I’m sure many new visitors went to www.johnchow.com  to read about “haute cuisine” or The West restaurant, with no idea of who he is and what he does. After finding out that a blogger can make so much money, I’ll bet there’s more than a few chefs starting up a blog and making things happen for themselves… all because of a “so called” off topic post!

P.S. I hope one day to earn enough points to get an Entrecard ad at John’s site… (it will take a while, I’m sure! LOL) but I do appreciate having his on mine!
