How Blogging Will Earn Money & Grow Your Business

This post contains some affiliate links, which means – at no additional cost to you – I will earn a commission if you click through a link for a product that I wholeheartedly recommend and make a purchase.

I’m forever in awe of the power of SEO and blogging.

Back in March, I published a post about How to Rebrand Your Facebook Business Page.

After going through the steps of rebranding myself, I did one of my favorite blogging tricks: document how to do something so it can help make the process even simpler for others.

Just a few months after I published the post, it was showing up on the first page of Google. 😳 Now, by the end of the year, it’s ranking #1 on the search engines!

Not only is the post itself showing up #1, but there’s also a result under the “People Also Ask” section:

What does all this mean?

First, rankings aren’t everything. 

Traffic also matters.

In other words: even though a post ranks well, it doesn’t mean that it will attract traffic. Luckily, this one does; I get hundreds of visits to the post that I may not have gotten otherwise.

But traffic isn’t everything either.

I’ll be totally honest: I’m not a social media expert, nor do I want to be known as one. So while I don’t publish a lot of social media posts, this one is unique in that I include an affiliate offer for one of my favorite tools: Canva.

With just this one blogpost that ranks well and gets a fair amount of traffic, I earn residual income consistently. 🤯

Magical, right?!

What’s the takeaway for you?

There’s no questioning the power of blogging. In fact, I’d even argue that you’re missing a ton of opportunities by choosing not to blog.

You don’t have to be an affiliate to earn money either; you can simply talk about your expertise and consistently show your value to inevitably sell more products or services.

So here’s my question for you today: are you blogging yet? And if not, what are you waiting for?!
