You may think I'm goofy, but I'll tell you what, my college fund is growing by leaps and bounds.
Hey, Kenton Verhoeff here touting the joys of blogging for cash and sharing principal ways you can save that cash for every kid's financial nightmare: COLLEGE. If you think about it, most kids do want to go - even if they have cash coming in all the time. College is like the ultimate option for 17-22-year-olds. If you don't go, you feel like a fish out of water, if you do go (and you're broke) you're in debt for a lifetime.
YUK! Who wants that!
So, here's the deal... We learn how to blog, make enough money to capitalize our college dream and keep us in gas money and groceries through college, and beyond. We don't have to USE the degree, unless we want to pursue more topics online with our college degree. Maybe you do want to Blog as Doctor Health? It works. But, the simple steps to Banking on your own Blogging income are below:
Step #1 - Write a blog for people who will BUY what you sell.
We've all got interests to spare, but something you're interested in will sell like hot cakes on Sunday morning at I-Hop. You just have to find that topic and write about it. My Mom is making big bucks writing about women golfers, wedding planners and coffee recipes. Another friend creates gaming tips and makes the BIG bucks with ebooks he prints in .pdf format. A friend of my brother's makes some serious cash translating music to tabs on his blog site. Pick a topic and find an audience who will buy it.
Step #2 - Build a marketing list from your blog readers.
Find a way to capture those names. Whether you give away a gift, offer a free call to your readers, or provide a whole collection of reprint rights materials, the choice is yours but find a way to capture name and email. You NEED those people on your list. One guy offers no access to his readers if they don't give him their name and email. He promotes most of his information in .pdf format, instead of blogging it.
Step #3 - Create a product a month to sell your readers.
Every month, without fail, create a product. Even if it's a $2 Report. Create a product your readers NEED and SELL it to your list (they have to be ON your list to buy it, but you can talk about it on your blog). Be sure you keep putting your products out to your list, as you build better and better relationships with those nice folks, more and more of them will buy more and more of your products.
If you're making good money on your Blog, it won't be difficult to bank 50% of your income for college. Pay taxes and use the rest of your income for things you want to do in high school. If you're thinking 50% is too much to save, think again. Tax will be a minimum of 36% of your income and you're not going to need much to live on, so you can just budget yourself to live on 14% because you'll NEED more of it later, than you do now (after all, Mom makes sure you're well fed in high school).
