If Your Write Long Lasting Content, Your Blog Will Grow With Time

One of the easiest tricks to making a lot of money online with your blog is to write a blog which naturally grows with time.  Although you may not make very much money in your first 6 months, in your next 6 months you will make a lot more.  The year following you will make even more.  Soon enough your blog earnings may look like this.

However the only way your blog can grow with time, is if you write timeless content.  If you write most of your posts about topics which are only important right now, i.e. politics, current events, gadgets to a lesser degree, who will be coming back a year from now to look at those posts?  Not that many people.  Those posts will drop off the search engine rankings and be replaced by newer posts.

If you write timeless content, it will stick around on Google forever.  If you write most of your posts about topics which won’t change much in the next five years, the chances are that pages which will ranks well today will rank equally well 5 years from now.  That will ensure that your posts have a very long lifespan, and can make money for you over that entire time.

If you write posts which last longer you can make a lot more money off of them.  If, for instance, your average posts have a lifespan of 1 year and in that time get 5000 visitors, each worth 1 cent, that means your post is worth $50.   That’s not too bad, unless you compare it to how much it could be worth.  If instead of writing posts which stay around for 1 year, you write posts which stay around for 5 years and still attract 5000 visitors a year, you now have a post worth $250.  That is a 5 fold increase in the amount of money your post can be worth simply by changing your writing style or topic.

So what kind of posts have longevity?  I have found that the posts which have the greatest longevity tend to be “How To” Posts.  If you write a post which answers a readers common question about how to do something it will tend to stick around.  People 5 or even 10 years in the future will likely have the same questions.  Posts which are least likely to stick around are those about current technology or current events.  Both of those things are changing every day.  Any article you on current technology will be dated in 6 months, and will be obsolete in 5 years, and will be laughable in 10 years.  Think to yourself how likely are you to go to and read a 1997 post about the joys of a 56K modem?  Not likely

 The bottom line is that by tailoring your writing to make sure that it will last on the internet you can attract more visitors to your blog and make more money over the long term.  You should keep that in mind next time you are writing a post or thinking of an idea for a new blog to create.

 So what do you consider when you try to write a post?  Do you try to make it timeless?  Or Topical?
