Your blog is a really powerful tool. It allows you to connect with an audience, it allows you to share creatively, and hopefully, it allows you to earn revenue doing something you really love. If you’re a blogger who is eager to pursue blogging part-time or even full-time, it’s important to transition your mindset from “blog” to “business.” Today, we’re excited to share how you can turn your blog into a business!

How to Turn Your Blog Into a Business

Turning your blog into a business isn’t always easy to do. It requires hard work, dedication, and a real passion for what you’re offering. Here are our top tips:

  1. Determine your niche. As you begin to turn your blog into a business, it’s important to think like a business owner. What is your niche? What do you write about? What are the goals and objectives of each piece you write? Most importantly, who are you trying to reach through what you’re writing? By determining your niche, everything you do – every piece of content you create for your blog – will be done so with a real, solid purpose in mind. You’ll ‘speak to’ your Ideal Reader and better connect with the audience you’re hoping to connect with.
  2. Create an Editorial Calendar. Many successful businesses operate on a certain, pre-defined schedule. At With Grace and Gold, we have an Editorial Calendar that ensures we are ‘rotating’ our blog posts among key areas of our business: branding and design, business, and education. By creating an Editorial Calendar,
  3. Curate a strong brand, blog, and social media presence. As you aim to turn your blog into a business, it’s important to have a solid brand, blog, and social media presence. Whether you invest in professional branding and design, or in a pre-made design, it’s important that your presence is both polished and professional. In a world with many, many bloggers to read from, it’s important that your brand is strong among all areas of your online presence.
  4. Seek opportunities for both active income and passive income. Are there any products or services you hope to offer in tandem with your blog? For example, if you blog about interior design, will you be offering virtual interior design services, too? This is an example of active income; income that requires you to be involved in order for the product or service to be fulfilled. Conversely, are there any opportunities for passive income? Always seek opportunities to add both active income and passive income – depending upon your unique goals – to your blog.
  5. Set goals. Finally, set goals! All successful business owners set goals. They establish where they are, where they’d like to be, and the steps they’ll take to reach their goals. Set aside time to set goals of your own. Doing so will allow you to better understand the exact steps you’ll need to take to turn your blog into a business.
