A good example of a successful WordPress blogger would be Johns Wu. Mr Wu started his blog Bankaholic.com in 2006 and in 2008 he sold it to BankRate in a deal that totaled $15 million dollars. Now that is a story worth Googling and enjoying.

Not many have jobs that allow retirement in just two years with $15 million in the bank This should encourage everyone to at least extend your hobby into a WordPress niche blog of course being offered a newsworthy profit is a long shot, but making a nice living is not so far fetched. Can you think of a niche that you can write about? What are your hobbies, interest or your wildest dreams that can inspire you?

Now you will need a lot of subjects to write about. Find them by doing keyword research based on your interest. Use popular ones to base one subject per page or blog post you write on. You can also find a domain name based on some of the keywords you find.

You’ll learn to drive traffic to it by consistently updating the content and building backlinks to it. Good quality content plus traffic generation equals success. And success will generate interest which in turn will attract buyers.

How will you know if your Wordress site would ever sell? Well, you don’t know. And if that is your main purpose when you start a blog, then it probably will not sell. When you start your blog it should be for the reason that you’re passionate about your chosen niche.

This intense interest is what will make you stand out from your competitors and make your blog profitable. This being said, if you do get a once in a lifetime offer, it may just take every penny of a few million to make you part with it!

Summary:

Consider a WordPress niche site to promote your cause first as a hobby. You can set it up within hours, afterwards you add new relevant new content to it everyday. You can learn to automate it for both adding your content and creating backlinks to it.

Whether a newsworthy payday or new money making hobby is in your future, the decision is yours TODAY
