Ok, you have started your blog which is the first step in making money with it. Hopefully, you wrote your first article. In this lesson, I will go over how to submit your blog so that you can start getting readers. (Please note: Many blog directories require you to have a somewhat lengthy blog before they will accept your submission. Your best bet is to wait until you have about ten articles written before submitting your blog if they require established blogs.)
You do not have to submit your blog to search engines. Being that it is a Google Blogger Blogspot Blog, once your blog has information on it, Google will index it and it will appear in search results. If there are similar blogs to yours, you may not appear high up in search results.
In this lesson, I will show you the first step you should take in order to move up in search engine rankings. This step is to submit your blogspot to blog directories. There are many directories to choose from and generally speaking, the more directories your blogspot is listed in, the more traffic you will receive.
Below my posts, you will see a website badge for OnTopList.com. This is one of many very good blog directories to list your weblog in. OnTopList is free if you place their badge (like I did) on your blog. By placing this badge on your blogspot blog, you have one great link which is great for moving up in search engine results.
Remember to be patient. It can take several weeks to several months before you appear in search engine results. In the meantime, keep blogging away and follow this blog for more money making tips and how to optimize your blog. Don't worry, if your blog is not getting any readers yet, it is probably because no one can find it.
Here is a list of 25 very good blog directories that you should consider submitting your blog to. It is by no means the entire list of blog directories but it does contain some of the best ones.
The action steps for this lesson are:
1. Check out some of the blog directories that I have listed.
2. Submit your blog to at least one of them, preferably many of them.
3. Bookmark this page so that you can frequently come back and submit your blog to the listed directories.
