Blogging for money

So I just started a brand new blog. After doing some research on keywords, I decided to go with Credit Cards. Right now, its not much to look at, but I am hopping that soon I will be able to get some visitors. It can be definitely a challenge to market a blog that is primarily something that people want to get away from. Credit cards ads though pay really really well, so I am hopping all the effort will be worth it. Since it is so new, if anybody has any great ideas on how I can market it better or just make it more interesting, do tell. Blogging is great, but I need to make it worth my time.

Do you know anything about SEO? If not, I suggest you try to learn the basics, as this will make it easier for you to market your blog in search engines. You should also comment on other blogs in the same niche to get some visitors. This is pretty much what I do, and it does get me visitors!

Good luck with the blog...I think if you want to get alot of traffic, you could maybe research some credit card companies in a few different countries to expand to a wider variety of viewers..maybe include USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand...you don't have to do too many but it might appeal to more people...just a suggestion.

If you're lazy just turn it into an autoblog, automatically pulling content from other sites and let the visitors come in. Don't forget to promote it a bit, et voila! I'm glad at least one other person than me does keyword research! ;-)

Promoting it seems to be the hardest part. I have actually thought about building a very simple blog that is just dedicated to sharing backlinks.
